Alice O'Malley of Barrack Street, Kilfinane celebrated her 92nd birthday with her friends and the Active Retirement Group at Molly Blooms Restuarant. Well done Alice!
Congratulations to Mr. Patrick O'Shaughnessy Esq. of Pat & Nora O'Shaughnessy's Drinking Emporium & Fine Wines Distribution Company, O'Connell Street, Kilfinane who celebrated the Somethingth Anniversary of His Birthday on Sunday, September 27th at approximately twenty five and a half minutes past five Post Meridian
In keeping with an age-old tradition, Pat, who looked splendiferously regal in his exquisitely tailored 'I love Pat' t-shirt treated friends and family to the theroretical possibility of a sumptous meal and free
beverages for the duration of the celebrations.
For the doubtful he had considerately hired a troubadour group of wayward fairies who had between them and for the the promise of a look-in-the-door agreed to espouse his beliefs.
In a congenial atmosphere Mr. Pat spared no expense or consideration in providing his many guests with all sorts of entertainment. and hospitality.
Always the Sportsman, He had laid on; soccer and golf, ladies football, rugby and strife; with just enough winners and losers on any side to provide balance and cause for the games' continuance and our own deliverance.
After all the sports were dusted and Dunne there were the sounds of an eclectic wardrobe of music provided by Pat's favourite band, 'Jukebox', and, for intermission He sang such a powerful rendition of his own favourite tune 'Hi Hi Hi, Cwmere Ai Wantchaaa' that the valleys of Wales would have but not thought themselves mere rivulets with not yet broken voices.
Later in the evening the good man regaled his well-wishers with accounts of derring-do and near legendary tales of His own powerful prowess at the game of golf.
No birdies, no eagles, but a well-feathered story of 'par', par excellance!
These stories
were
delivered,
with
verve and panache,
in
a fashion reminiscent,
of
story-telling,
in
this nation's traditions,
by
yore
and
days long since passed
to
the annals and shelves
on
history's cupboards.
It seems yet brilliant that this stalwart champion of the drinking classes and fighting masses has been Himself wrestling a long and painful battle with that most dreadful of conditions, Recession.
In an effort to combat this terrible affliction but also in a way not generally understood by those of lesser mind He has prescribed for Himself the best course of remedial treatment and so will play yet more golf and giddy-up faster with the Gee Gees.
The community wishes him every success in his continuing struggle.
We look forward to many more such wonderful birthdays for, and acts of selfless generosity from the gentleman affectionately known as 'Shanger'.
The One who we say with full conviction is well on His way through Nirvanic Inflection and Golfer's Perfection to that perfectly roundy 'Hole!, in 1!'
