I suspect that would have been some feat to have the articles typed and the paper printed within five minutes of the
end.
I suppose that a five minute wait in 1932 was relatively instant as RSS Feeds, tweets and the like now.
Using signs, advertisements and messages as the inspiration for observation and comment - enlightened and otherwise
I met DL yesterday and he commented on the blog entry from a few days back asking if I had spotted the sign in the window – which I had missed.

I do not know when the property at 10 Paul St. took the name of (or even became known as) Kenny’s Corner. Or even if Kenny’s Corner was originally at a four way cross prior to the disappearance of Brown St.. Checking the old Guy’s Directories, there does not appear to have been a Kenny trading from the property in 1945 or in the directories prior to that. The last evidence of the name Kenny’s Corner has recently been painted over.
Well done that man
This afternoon, we attended the Under-16 B All-Ireland Camogie final in Mallow – to support our neighbours’ daughter. The President of the Camogie Association was out of the country so another official deputised in the presentation of the cup. I did not manage to get a programme so do not know the name of the official. Rachel Harty won the player of the match award. My vote at the final whistle would have gone to Ellen Twomey. However, my vote for the most telling contribution of the day goes to the Camogie Association official who made the presentation who was willing to tell the truth. From the podium, which served to make his comments more earnest and telling, he was correct in saying that the match was very exciting and skilful but that there were incidents which were unacceptable on any field of play. I wish him well in his attempts to curtail incidents of assault. For the sake of my seven year old, just starting to play Camogie, I sincerely wish him well. It seems that Ireland does not have exclusive rights to issues relating to incorporation of translated words onto
signs. The few that I have blogged about are rather minor compared to some of the news items that I spotted recently on the BBC: Email error; Bladder; Tesco; Diversion; and, Look Left. |
