Hot off the presses for a wedding this weekend.

I’m entertaining at a corporate function in a few weeks and the client thought it would be fun to include some of the staff on the invitations, so I whipped these up today!

Some time ago I posted on a mysterious plaque that had appeared down at the Spanish Arch in Galway. An eagle-eyed reader found this second plaque and sent it to me:

I found a posting on your website regading the Galway Democratic Republic. Well, there has been a new sign posted in Galway. See attached. I first found it walking my dogs about two weeks ago (April 4th). Its posted on the wall along the Claddagh pier, at the far end almost, at the end, and is posted quite low, about a foot off the ground.

Curiouser and curiouser!

That’s not all, the GDR has been busy elsewhere too.

(The Latin inscription “Sic faciunt omnes” seems to mean “everyone is doing it”).

Fústar’s recent ruminations over some of the dodgier corners of the Eagle’s letters page reminded me that I had a drawing printed in said comic (of Comrade Bronski), which was such big news for Eighties-era Greencastle it made the local notes in the Derry Journal. Being the incredible curator of cultural waste that he is, Fústar only went off and found my drawing in the issue in question!
Monday 20th June, 1987 (No. 274). I got 3 Sterling Pounds. I was twelve years old. My massive collection of Eagles is no longer with us unfortunately – my parents for some reason moved them out of the house into a damp shed when I left for college, and that shed is no longer with us either.
Thanks again Fústar.
