Just seen the FA Cup Semi-Final draw.
Possibility of a Leeds v Southampton Final like in 1973.

@irish_news Refer to the Good Friday Agreement for the terms.

@katheder Would people not prefer the Monday rather than giving up their Easter Sunday with family?
English
@crusaders1898 Straightforwardly, of course, it's not a work-day. Saves a public holiday.
English
My periodic question. Why does the commemoration take place on Easter Sunday, when the rebellion began on Easter Monday?
I've never had this explained.

Watch: A commemoration to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising is taking place on O'Connell Street in Dublin rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@crusaders1898 I don't know the formal answer but presumptively the mobilisation, not withstanding the countermand, was the first move of the insurrection.
English
@dscullylimerick I wasn't aware of that aspect. That makes sense.
I thought they all held their commemorations on the Sunday.
English
@dscullylimerick Yes, I know. But it didn't. So why commemorate it on the day that it *didn't* begin?

@SteveZfxx9 @nivraxx Say "I for chair" out loud, super fast, no pauses. It slurs together into "I fornicate." That's the rebus punchline—the sign's warning you not to rush it or it'll sound filthy. 😂

@TadhgHickey @eolanryng Presumably you support the current dissidents, then.
That's the logic of the book.

One of my all time favourites 📖

Here is a book worth reading at Easter. The political establishment in the South insults and excludes northern nationalists because, essentially, it still has a Free State mindset and is partitionist. For selfish party political reasons it fears reunification.

In 1974, Chinatown and Godfather II were released. Two great, complex tragedies. But different. Chinatown is in the Greek mode, where fate destroys men; and Godfather II is in the Shakespearean, where men destroy themselves.

Thought it was hilarious when I first saw it as a teenager.
Watched it about 20 years later and didn't find it funny.

When Blake Edwards's 'The Party' (1968) was released, Time Magazine's review was snide: They wrote, “This Party, in short, is strictly for those who don’t get around much." The New York Times was offended by the movie- They wrote: “When, eventually, Peter Sellers is reduced to mugging the poor Indian’s pain at not being able to empty his bladder, the picture hits a low point from which it never recovers." When the British royal family watched 'The Party' (1968)together at Balmoral, however, Elizabeth II laughed so hard that tears rolled down her face. ("Mr. Strangelove - A Biography of Peter Sellers", Ed Sikov, 2002) P.S: On this day, 58 years ago, "The Party" (1968) was released in the USA.

@McKinleyAn Elitism is sometimes merited.
Though in this case, while he might be right that Harry Potter is not comparable to children's classics, my son definitely benefited from reading all the books.

@ianjamesparsley @irish_news Indeed. The economic decline of NI was the result of general industrial decline in the west. Also happened in the north of England, south Wales, Belgium and other places.
English
@irish_news Quite normal. The north of England was once richer than the south. The north of Germany was once much richer than the south. In the post-industrial era this inevitably reversed. (Still not quite sure what the point of such articles is.)
English
"At the time of partition, Belfast was the biggest city in Ireland. The six counties which were partitioned off produced two-thirds of the industrial output of the island and were the richest part.
"Fast forward and you also know the story."

On the contrary, it’s a direct equivalence.
British Remembrance includes honouring UDR, RUC, B Specials, Tans, Paras & more.
Respect for British Remembrance by Republicans warrants reciprocation at Easter time by those genuinely seeking reconciliation, a shared today & future.
Choyaa@Choyaa13
@chrisadonnelly This is false equivalence, Chris. Remembrance Day honours sacrifices in multiple wars, including 200k Irishmen (Nationalists & Republicans among them) who served. The Easter Rising celebrates a separatist rebellion against British rule, Unionism has no reason to attend.
