Hacked but back!

Well, I came online yesterday to blog about Bertie Ahern resigning (corruption? In the Irish government in the 90′s? Surely not?! Surely not!) and approve a comment only to find I had been hacked somehow. WordPress, according to Mr C, had a loop-hole. But, I am now up-dated and back on track. Hooray. The new WordPress looks highly snazzy, as well.

It was an exciting news day yesterday, what with Bertie, arrests in Dewsbury over Shannon Matthews’ abduction and the election in Zimbabwe. I am still a bit shocked they have got Bertie out, he has been Taoiseach for eleven years now and comes from a party which, in recent years, has seen a large number of monetary scandals. Bertie will, no doubt, be ‘doing a Blair’ and cracking up the noise about his ‘pivotal’ role in the Peace Process. I don’t often defend the Tories – or Fine Gael for that matter – but I do think that Blair and Ahern took advantage of the ground work laided over years by John Major and John Bruton on that…

There is a miserable mist over the village, which descended yesterday and hasn’t gone since. I took Ferris down Hannaford Lane and back up over Dennington Hill, which normally  affords an amazing view of the village on the return leg, but we couldn’t see a chuffing thing today!

Anyhoo, I’d better get my bus change together and think of getting to work…

Don’t forget Albert Reynolds and Jerry Adams. You may have mixed feeling about the latter but he is rarely credited with his input.Oh, and the SDLP fella – who’s name eludes me (senior moment).

John Hume? Yes, very true, none of it could be done without the participation of those “at war” with one another, could it?
