Great to see this event. Thanks for sending it our way Nuala. Brilliant to know that Billy McKee is getting a special mention. When you compare that man to what appeared on Prime Time the other evening you suddenly realise that you can't compare.
Glad to hear all went well, would love to have been able to attend the like of that and must look out for the book. Billy McKee is definitely 'one of the greats' in my book also Nuala, as Anthony says there's no comparison between him and the bearded one. Whereas one is fundamentally dishonest the other has honesty and integrity as his defining characteristics. At least we know we're in good company as so-called 'dissenters' who refuse to concede the supposed brilliance of the Adams strategy. Brian Shivers innocent just hearing as I write this and that is just brilliant news!
Mackers. Thank you. You always feel more than a bit privileged to be there with Billy. Sean You would have loved it. I would say the book is widely available and well worth the read Great news on Brian Shivers thank God.
