I find it difficult to use swear words in my blog because of the possibility that small kids might read it.But having last evening on RTE Radio heard the word "Cunt" liberally used ,I am as usual out of kilter.Now don't get me wrong I can use expletives with the best of them but only in context.Like for example when trying to motivate a lad's football team.,as anyone who has had any serious involvement or even basic knowledge will know.
And it is in this context that I first and for the only time heard the words used in the heading supra.
Jigser Powell,since deceased,was a team mate of mine in Saint Brigid's Club,Blanchardstown for many years.He was a hardy guy and a typical corner back of his era,as tough as old leather.
Over many decades we all togged out together.Jigser never wore underpants and eventually some grave soul plucked up the courage to ask him why."They're only for fellas with dirty arses" said he.
Now the kapos who run our country at the direction and for the benefit of the EU and Atlantic Philanthropies are fulfilling every thief's and criminal's wet dream by publishing the names and particulars of every farmer's entitlements to payment from the Common Agricultural Policy single payment scheme, which will save them considerable research and help them focus on the more isolated and lucrative turkeys to be plucked and reveal particulars of their most intimate financial affairs for all the world to see.
Conversely Dennis O Brien,a billionaire and media mogul,none of whose otherwise mouthy journalists have offered even one word of criticism against his actions,has gagged the other electronic and paper media from reportindg a single word said by an elected member of our Dali in relation to his financial dealings.
The Kapos who are supposed to run our country are too busy arse licking the EU and Atlantic Phil .to be even arsed doing anything about this information deficit and threat to democracy,which demonstrates,at least to me, that one law applies to billionaires and another to the rest of us.
Truly it entitles me to restate Jigser's adage as
"Confidentiality is only for lads with well wadded arses".
Atta boy Jigs.
