Sir Eoin O Fada wrote on Feb 25^th, 2024 at 11:35am:

I was originally named in English and after my grandfather, with the second name of ‘Vincent’ because my mother liked it and Dad was very active in Vinnies, our long enclosed veranda was the local depot.

I changed my surname about 10 years after my father’s death to ‘Mac ——-‘ [his Christian name] in memory of him. It’s in Irish.

It is scary how similar the middle bit of this mirrors myself. My Dads second name and he volunteered in a Vinnie's kitchen one day a week for over 2 decades - maybe 3.

A brother you didn't know you had perhaps? Cheesy

The differences are stark so no real connection just coincidental similarity.

i.e connected to Vinnies but in completely different areas and in different ways.

It's 9:56 on a Friday
The usual crowd shuffles out
There's a John Smith
Sitting over there,
Thinking of being a lout.....

He says, Graps won't you play me some common sense
I've never really known how it goes
But it's fair and it's clear
Even if you're a queer
And wearing some young sheila's clothes...

And mothra at the bar
Has just fallen down
'Cause they set that damned bar
Just too high
Though it's far from two feet
Still will some people bleat
'Cause it's just high enough for a fly...

She says "Lefty's my boy,
And a sewer rat,
dining on stupids and beer.
And it's everyone's fault
That he opened that vault,
And told them his two kids are queer."

And Laughing Boy sits with his head up his arse
And thinks he's the head of the class...
But in the US Navy
What he's smelling ain't gravy
'Cause the head is
Where you put your arse.

He says 'Graps I believe I am killing jokes,
And blacks and all others besides,
For I'm certain I could be a stand-up man
If I could get rid of my vibes.....'

More like its Lowest Poor Rat ...... Shocked

P.S. it's a work in progress - no chorus you notice and a few verses to go yet - sort of an Inagadadavida, honey...

Speak us some words, you're the reason man
Speak us some words tonight
For we're all in the need of some common sense
And you've got it wrapped up real tight...

And Brian is a mail order Holy Man
He preaches at us for free
And he yawns in your face
Cause he don't know his place,
Got a Coon in his family tree....

He says, 'Graps, I just cannot fathom it,
Why everyone punches me down.
But I'm certain I could be a prophet here,
If only I could go to town...."

I'm wordking on Boomtown Rats:-

"Silly old prick beside himself,
Just switched to overload,
Albo's gonna get a Voice today,
Or take it on the road.
Australia doesn't understand it,
Says 60 per cent's enough,
And they can see no reason,
'Cause there ain't no reason
Why Abos wanna do it so tough...

I don't like Apartheid,
I don't like Apartheid,
I don't like Apartheid,
I wanna shoot
The whole thing down....."

It's embryonic - and we all know you can't determine a 3 yo's gender in vitro ..... or anywhere else for that matter..
