An Capall Strikes again !

[edgt]

Fantastic article by An Capall in today's Irish Examiner.
If it had been published Saturday everyone would think it was an April Fools article.
Well worth a read, can someone with the knowhow out up a link please ?
Many thanks.

One wonders how one who writes so well can't type a post longer than two sentences on here unless he's begging for digs at Cheltenham.

Is @colmgreaves you on Twitter? You should promote the brand more rather than me doing it.

A fascinating story beautifully told.

Great stuff, AC.

When I seen that An Capall had struck again, I had much more sinister ideas in my head. In my defence, I have met the man....

Tip: If you lean on a parade ring rail with Edgt you never know what kind of tale or character you might run into.

 

[Maruco]

There's a few books in there between you I'd suggest.

 

[archie]

And a few empty glasses. Nice work, AC.

Well done, great piece of storytelling. And as you say, edgt has a great fund of tales to get you started.

I was at a wedding yesterday and the wedding band had a drummer who had more than a passing resemblance to An Capall and the guitarist Grasshopper.
The band's name; "The Controversial All Stars !"

An ideal band for the Talking Horses Chicken Supper and Dance whenever that may be .

Will bring my earplugs

Weird.

Usually it's the pluggos on drums (out the back and darkly-lit), with the studs weilding the axe out front.

Hence the name

Murphy seems to be a popular subject in journalist circles these days

 

[Colin Phillips]

Is this the Declan Murphy who was a pundit on At The Races in its original form?

If so "in many ways" he became something of a figure of fun (ridicule would be too strong a word) around Newmarket when I was working there.

Do the needful again please someone and put in a link; still beyond me !
