Hey Ducksie.

[gness]

Did you watch the Fungi in Dingle programme tonight? I do hope so...x

[ducksie]

Everywhere could do with a statesman like Michael D, gness

[DTCwordfan]

we do have the Queen, failing the Boris and the Harmer.......(both no comparison - and for Ms. Caviar, well.....)

[DTCwordfan]

Actually, I thought Mary Robinson was great.....has to be up there as one of Ireland's best.

[gness]

Yes, you have the Queen, DT....that is one reason you need a Michael D.

Love to hear him speak, Ducksie.....wonderful man...x

[ducksie]

Oh gness, he has the lilt and the wise old man knowledge that his likes will never be seen again - not in my lifetime anyway

[gness]

We could do with a good few more of him rather than the golfgate clowns.

Wouldn't an evening dining with him be bliss...x

[ducksie]

An evening in his company is bliss gness, I have enjoyed it and with Micheál Muircheartaigh on the same night, 2 wonderful men, I have the greatest respect for both men

[gness]

Do I take it from that you've met them, Ducksie?

[ducksie]

I have indeed met them and one night with Micheál in our local GAA club, speaking as gaeilge all night was fab, Micheal D came to our workplace and as for Mary Robinson, I was in charge of organising a visit from Áras to our work place and it was fab, but Mary McAleese was better craic and more 'with it' and with what was going on in the area

[gness]

Well I envy you. Fantastic people to meet....all of them.

[ducksie]

I loved them all, Micheál and Michael D were my personal faves

[gness]

Anyway, Ducksie....I wish you a good 2021 and most of all a healthy and happy one.... Gx

[ducksie]

Many happy returns gness and Dave xx keep safe and look after yourselves, see you in better times xx
