A fine piece of folklore, it sounds!

'I suspect it's the Reverend Ian Paisley.'

I don't think it is our decision.  I don't think we have any say in the matter.  It's just the way it works.  The rich can get away with whatever they like.  The poor just have to put up with it.  Because they have no power.  Not even at the...

I never really understood the HB, 4B, 2B stuff, mind.

Hi Rich,

As you know, I'm a fan of John McNulty.  You're a worthy successor.  I love reading short pieces like this.  Great characters, slices of life - and lines to kill for:

I had three of Michael.  One as a small child, standing beside a Christmas tree, grinning a toothy grin as he held a bottle of beer up to a pint jug.  Clearly something posed by dad.  It always brought a smile to mum,...
