So. Who was your first 'hero' that you remember ?

@SW-User Mine was a trifle inconsistent. A former Irish Republican leader who insisted on me sticking stamps on upside down (Queen's head) and yet took me to heroic British war films.

@alan20 LOL, most of us can be a little inconsistent

@SW-User This is a true story. De Valera, boss of the side that came out on top in the Civil War, was visiting her home city on a kind of victory tour. She was chosen to make the welcome speech but it had to be in Irish. Neither of them could speak the lingo. So she read a transliteration of a translation from the English, while he read a translation back into English.

@Dusty101 Fraid not. I tried learning once and nearly drowned so that was that.

@alan20 I Coul teach you. I'm always helping the teenagers down the cove.😀

@Dusty101 Okay. The next time I'm in Dublin it's into the Liffey. Do I have to over 18 though?😫

@MenzernaSF4000 what was their name ?

Ms Ritu.

@MenzernaSF4000 AWESOME !!

@Picklebobble2 😄There's a 'naughty schoolboy' in you somewhere !

@Picklebobble2 Right. As I recall only one of the books was actually called that but its the title he seems to be remembered by.

@Picklebobble2 Definitely. And an anarchist!

@CharlieEFX ?? Where from ?
