    I'll tell them about the introduction of the smart phone and the whole "living on line thing" that people were into at the time. Tweeting pictures of your breakfast, that kind of thing.

    to PADDY and SAM..all info regarding the rising, civil war etc,,is now open to the public, because all persons directly linked to the events have passed away , this was why they were kept inder lock and key for so long, so none involved could be held responsible for their actions from back them , if you ctc the military bureau in Cathal Brugha , you can arrange to go in and look through all notes taken from witnesses to the events , i ve been studying this era of our history for many years and am in ctc with both the irish and british armies , as i will eventually write about from both sides i hope , but the info held there is amazing,,, and if you have the relatives names,,dont see why you cant find info on them farily quick if they ever gave statemants

    It could happen with how fast things are moving!

    First it was the ozone layer
    Then it was global warming
    Now it's climate change
    Next decade it will be something else

    I'll tell them my net take home pay was higher than it had ever been and I was also the happiest I had ever been. Life was good.

    I'll just make some nonsense up and tell them that.

    Kids are remarkably stupid.
