    Why does she want to know what Paul O'Connell thinks?

    Because he's a ginger.

    Think he meant 'so white'. He came here, saw no black faces and got a bit freaked out / assumed we're all racists (Father)

    This was probably 20+ years ago. We're not so exclusively white now.

    Great article though and it's apparent he must have a genius level IQ.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Ah Christ she embraces Americanisms like white privilege without a single moment of critical thinking.

    Was looking at some of the university staff lists recently. Great diversity among the facultits. Tip: it'll be the foreign guy on the fixed term contract ;)

    Jesus Christ, just my privilege? How about people have a bit of cop on and show some politeness without the
    needless bollixology.

    Never heard of this guy...

    You've heard his music even if you hadn't heard the name before. He worked with the absolute best of the best. An article from a few days ago is worth the read, although I'm a little taken aback by what he had to say about John Coltrane's Giant Steps (one of my all time favourite albums). And the antics of Marlon Brando. He's obviously promoting the upcoming Netflix releases and relaying tales of a long career working in the entertainment industry.
