As Kieran says below........laugh at ourselves. When Jimmy did the Ballymena woman...my Mother went into fits of cardiac laughter!! I wrote to Jimmy as an 8 yr old ....telling him about it.....how much we all looked forward to having Mum in the same condition next episode! He replied, with his own typing....spelling mistakes and all ........on Ulster Theatre(?) letterhead...........wont forget that.
I wish I knew you. Your ways make me laugh, your ways create the tears in the eyes of the proddies and the feiniens, your work will make us unite always xxx
First time I heard this, and with Jimmy there was many a true word spoke in jest. Can anyone do one for the oul lad in the bar on Sandy Row on the 12th that played the Soldier's Song, or one for St Patrick's Return to Armagh?
1st heard James young, back in the 70s when I was a kid, I was born 23rd May 1968 from northern Ireland UK,
