Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.
do you know what his motivation was at all? fairly interesting...

ah sorry to derail and ask on this light-hearted thread - very interesting article, not really seen anyone try to draw conclusions like that before. my mum is from glin, though i guess your uncle is the man talking about artane.

I used to work in regional news about 7/8 years ago and we did a lot of stories that came via the police, about a bookies being robbed or whatever. It was fairly common for the police press release to just say "the suspect is described as a black male". But if it was a white person they'd be wearing "a distinctive orange sports top" or whatever.
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Friday, 6 March 2015 14:23 (nine years ago) link
I guess what I'm getting at is, why didn't all those black criminals wear more distinctive clothes?

There is one of these bands on the train into London, I think they got on at Wakefield
― anvil, Sunday, 8 March 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link
They have southern accents though, perhaps they are going home
I made a mistake, they got off the train, and there were around 12 of them. I think they were coming back from a school trip. one of them looked like he was in one of these bands, he was the only one I saw. The very loud drunk one was a different person and i only saw him when they all got off. He looked like a minor royal in a navy sweater
Nearby there were two women who didnt know each other, then they got talking and i could overhear them, and they knew some of the same places and they warmed to each other, but a little later as inhibitions dropped i think one realized the other wasn't the sort of person she liked at all. By this point the other one was suddenly quite drunk and didnt notice the first one stopped enjoying the conversation

The saying 'can't see the wood for the trees' could easily be applied to Manchester's music scene... So many bands, so much attitude, so much history. Keen to stand apart from their contemporaries, The Jade Assembly are in this for the long haul and for the right reasons, nothing is fabricated or posed, their attitude comes from an inescapable force of conviction in their music.From the passion of Watson and Danny's rhythm section, to the raw power of Smed's guitar work, each Jade Assembly tune has a clear sense of purpose, nothing is contrived.Central to their main point of difference is John Foster (Foz), a true northern poet and songwriter that places honesty above favour, a frontman who possesses an imposing sense of belief, not devoid of arrogance - but full of commitment.As John puts it "Every word counts. Some people can't see the wood for the trees, but if you don't see The Jade Assembly - you're missing the best bit of the forest..."

Our Fold are a growing group of like minded musical people lead by a 4 piece alternative indie/rock band from Bolton. Selling out local shows in and around Manchester, the momentum is growing after every show. Gainging support from the likes of XFM, BBC 6 Music and Amazing radio, the band are currently working on finishing the debut album that should be ready to pleasure your ear canals late 2014.
