saoirse65: Watching John Kenny ( D'unbelievable's)
He seems to be a very funny character who it seems has battled cancer.
He said that people would say " Ah he had a bit of a knock"
Then when he had to go for treatment,behind his back " He's gone to Dublin" !!!!
as John Kenny said...." you go to Dublin, you dont come back"
So I suppose we all sugar coat things
Do we just ignore things rather than face up to them??
Very funny man though, IMO much funnier than Pat Shortt...

Hey ya, Mary
I saw them on the.... sorry... D'telly and I was in fits laughing at them tonight; Kenny is such a good actor isn't he?
I think it's one of the best aspects of Irish society that we have the tact to let somebody who is ill be ill in dignity, if you will. I'm not getting at anything to do with the health system at all here; what I'm thinking here is that many public figures here can be ill and no fuss be made of them on the basis that they are ill and as such they can deal with it with space and privacy.
oops...7 hours each way not 14 but either way the return trip was always the hardest cos I never knew if I would be going back
