Christina Noble , A Very Special Lady !

Deirdre and Christina 
                                                                 I had the pleasure of watching a movie about the life of a certain Irish lady the other night . The lady in question was Christina Noble . She was born in Dublin in 1944 , and suffered a dreadful childhood as a result of her poverty stricken family and the hard times she and her siblings had to endure . But throughout her childhood she was a shining light in an era that was so full of darkness and neglect . Suffice to say she grew up not without her upbringing being and having a huge influence on who she would become . She would find solace and comfort in her determination to bring her sort of help and aid to the poor unfortunate children in Vietnam .
                                                               I personally had the pleasure of meeting Christina many years ago at a charity event that was put on in the Tivoli Theatre in Francis Street Dublin . I was completely taken by her . Her humility and strength were just two of her characteristics that was evident from get go . Not one to shy away from her supporters , she actually welcomed people who just wanted to wish her well and shake her hand . What a wonderful selfless woman I met that day .

                                                              I wont say anything about the movie " Noble " , only to recommend you go see it . Deirdre O'Kane is wonderful in the lead role , and watch out for a Gloria Cramer Curtis as the young Christina , her performance is nothing short of breathtaking . All in all a movie worth seeing , giving you an insight into the Christina Noble life story and how she fell in love with


the people of Vietnam but most of all the children of Vietnam . 
No need to examine or analyze me , I am Well Beyond That !

Zionism and its Supporters , A Cancer That Needs Extracting !

When you see countries committing indefensible acts on their fellow human beings , something must be said . Not just in objection to those acts , but to remind everyone exactly how evil a position can be taken by supposed civilized societies . Take the Jews for instance , because they suffered at the hands of the Nazi's , the world welcomed the survivors and leaders with open arms , saying this will never happen again . This statement in itself was to be commended and lauded by anyone with a hint of decency . The Germans had done to them things that should never be spoken off . But lest we forget , this is an example of how one society can turn on another at the drop of a hat . Now lets start thinking hypothetically , take your own country wherever you may be , lets just take the Good Old U.S.of A for example , and for the sake of argument you don't happen to be a world power with nuclear weapons and such .There you are minding your own business , and the United Nations

Happiest of New Years Everybody !

                                                                    In the huge scheme of things we live our lives in a way that has been somehow mapped out for us .  We wake every day and do the things that are expected to be done by others , but mostly by ourselves . Most of the time we are pleased by our efforts , and sometimes we just let ourselves down . And that's okay too , because we're not as perfect as we would like to be , or as others might expect us to be . We are as good as we want ourselves to be , or as we hope ourselves to be .                                                                    Now at this time of year I tend to get a little sentimental about stuff . You know what I'm talking about ? Family , the future , the dog and I suppose a little about our own mortality . The rest of the year seemingly it simply doesn't seem to matter . Christmas and even more importantly the change over from one year to another is so deep in our character and

                                                                    Welcome to an alternative version of the news . It is not meant to provoke , though it just might .It is not meant to be sarcastic , but it probably will . It is not meant to be damning of any one individual or group , but it certainly will . And finally , it is not going to be deliberately misleading , but when this brain of mine gets into gear ( and it doesn't happen very often ) , it can say and make me do things , that afterwards , well ............maybe on reflection I shouldn't have said in the first place . But don't blame me personally , I have age on my side , and I tend to forget things when someone confronts me about things I may or may not have said . As we all know , everything is open to interpretation , and one mans yes , could easily be another mans no . Let us proceed without further ado . And he Still Is !                                                                    Welcome to
