I love Christmas depending where I'm at during it. This year I like it because I am in a really charming town in New England where all the old houses are so cozy looking with candles in the windows and it really makes the whole holiday a lovely cozy one. Not to mention there is snow everywhere.
Anyway, Rover, I want you in my stocking. A cute little puppy for Christmas would be a lovely gift!
Can't say as I have been following his life in minute detail but I don't recall ever hearing that he was violent towards his various partners, if he was then I was not referring to this aspect of him if its true for the simple reason I never knew it. I was referring to his world wide reputation as a lady's man and playboy lifestyle.
As your from that area then you will know what your taking about so I am not going to debate the ins and outs of what you say. I only meant the 60's and 70's Best would have been fun to hang out with like the era of the famous clip of him filling the pyramid of champagne and being the handsome man that he was. I had only known of his problems with alcohol, I did not know he was seen as an abusive partner up North and anyone who had an airport named after him would have assumed he was worthy of this.
Just because u get something dosent mean ure worthy of it ,after all Obama got the Nobel Peace
prize , Best was quite an unsavoury character but like many before him he had a charming
exterior and was forgiven alot because he was talented in a certain area in his case football
The public have a way of overlooking the very obvious failings of people if they are talented,
always seems to me one set of rules for them and one set for everybody else
Blatant promotion should be outlawed
but
Vincent Browne is a Hero
But isn't that what soceity teaches, to be 'them' and not eveyody else? It's better to be a have than a have not.
I was always amazed at how well Irish people dressed, and then while watching a program on the Famine, and how people from the hills in Cork weren't let into the City Centre if they didn't look the part, made me think this must be why Irish people make an effort about their appearance.
