When I was a boy, my English teacher, Humphrey Twomey, taught us the value of critique. Read something. Don't rush to judgement but consider it from every angle. Each boy in the class was then allowed his own opinion. Whenever I encounter instant outrage here, I miss Mr. Twomey.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Jack Daniel, after a brave 14 month battle against cancer. Thoughts & prayers are with Nigel, Geraldine & all Jack’s family at this sad time. Croke Park and the Hill will never forget you Jack. You touched many hearts in your young life. 💙

Albert Reynolds was right to have Gerry Adams and John Hume on the steps of Government Buildings in the aftermath of the IRA ceasefire. Reynolds was a practical patriot, despite his social and intellectual detractors.

RIP Jim. From the deliveries of cakes and jellies to the office and the social outings there was always a bit of craic and good conversation with Jim. Plenty of advice taken on board since I started out with @Videosonthenet in 2013. Thinking of John and his family.

RIP Jim - The only adult who whenever I met him always called me by my childhood / schoolboy nickname. Even when I too was an adult. I loved that about him.
