Hmmm. Hard to know where to start with the irony of The Guardian publishing a piece

[Burney]

Bit late for the poor old bugger now really.

His brother married a lady who had been convicted of burying a baby in her garden. They certainly knew how to have a good time back in the day, didn't they?

I think that's OK as long as it was of hers. People take a dim view if you bury other people's babies in your garden.

I think it was a sort of 'avoid being sent to the nunnery' tactic.

I hope the child was dead before the interment.

He never drank, apparently. He was always immaculately presented - a man of enormous moral standing.

It is no wonder to me that the visit of a policeman prompted him to take the route of honour.

Too busy stealing bikes I suggest.

Have you ever been to Kilteely, sw? There is simply no hope of concealing the theft of a bicycle. I mean, he could have concealed the bicycle in a barn, but the second he tried to ride it he'd have been clocked by one of the 6 inhabitants of the village, each of whom knows every single detail about the lives and possessions of his neighbours.

The interfering, judgemental, small-minded ****s. #irish

Bit of a waste of time stealing it then. What was he thinking??

To be fair, there’s probably tiny corpses buried in most gardens in rural Ireland.

God it really was a truly awful, priest-ridden hellhole of a place, wasn’t it? I’m amazed anyone stayed.

So he was guilty then?

For shame.

A family of thieves and prostitutes.

Prostitutes? I've seen no mention of whores, sw.

Prostitutes seem to have pricked your interest b
