“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
The Mabinogion has played such a HUGE part in my past decade and a bit more of research for Ravens of Dinefwr. It helped me (along with N.C.) to weld the MSM History of Wales/Ireland/Scotland/The Normans/The Crusades with a new chronology and story. I’ve watched Cerys a few times – she’s my go-to-source for pronunciation […]
Stephen Gately Stephen Gately was Boyzone’s other lead singer after Ronan. What was not revealed when the band became famous and every teenage girl’s dreams come true was that SG was gay and married a man. He died in Majorca of…..natural causes aged 33 (!) Take that to the bank and make it evil ? […]
OK. Here’s a prediction. Within the next few days we will have hexperts on Runes all over whytoob! FACT Nevertheless and whatever : I have Rune Stones. This is not a subject that I’ve had the time to study in depth yet… but, I kind of know the basically basics. I have a long Academic […]
I’m nothing special. But I know how to research history. Cashel is connected to Muirchertach Ua Briain and therefore Magnus Barelegs/Norway/Wales/Dinefwr and the Ravens of Ravens of Dinefwr. I pulled ALL of my original research sources for this (MY) novel in progress…in progress…still in progress from this website. Why? Because about 10 years ago I […]
Peters was born in Halewood, Lancashire, but moved to Ballymena (and later Belfast) at age eleven when her father’s job was relocated to Northern Ireland. She now lives in Lisburn just outside Belfast. OMF’nG – I’ve just totally freaked myself out by looking on t’internet at a home that I used to live in. Image above. Slightly changed now. On the right there were […]
I’ve been N,S,E & W in Ulster but never across the border to Eire. YET! I’m liking the look of this place. Much as I Love The Two Fat Ladies – it’s the building here that has caught my eye. I might have to become a NUN!! Imagine that… LOL :o)
I’ve done this before but it’s worth repeating. Along with chapati, Soda Bread is one of the quickest, simplest food staples EVER. I made some today and had the usual snooze you lose moment. Bloody Gannets. Sigh. One loves it with honey. One with baked beans and fried eggs. Two of us LOVE it with […]
RIP Stephen Gately BTW. I don’t believe the WIKI page fully. But read it. Very informative. SG was GAY (so what?) In a BOY BAND adored by zillions of hormonal FEMALE teenagers. Throw in EJ aka Reg Dwight and his husband and ….? I LOVE this song and no amount of TRASHTARD thrown at the […]
I will always and forever be grateful to my Mum and Dad for letting my brothers and I make our own choice of life path. Despite years of suggestions – Mum kept throwing being a NURSE at me. Dad stayed silent. In the end – aged 17 – when I Went My Own Way – […]
As it is St Andrew’s Day today, I was going to write a big piece about the Saint Andrew’s Cross. Saint Andrew and all that hidden history. But (for once) Wiki saved the day. And my time! Wow. The stuff I learn just boggles my mind. St. Andrew’s Cross I might’ve mentioned once or a […]
How many Irish Myths and Legends can be named in just one song? Let’s start with Roisin Dubh, The Black Rose. In centuries past, when England prohibited any mention of this country BY LAW, a very dark red aka Black Rose was a code name for Ireland. Cuchulainn : look him up in Irish mythology. […]
