Hanley, the second coming!

[luthor]

I caught that bloke live when he was FF and Gary Moore was CHF in a free exhibition match at Brisbane's Botanical Gardens.

I was there!

Was a few moons ago now......early 80's???? A Friday night if I remember correctly.

Thin Lizzy still one of my all time fave bands, Phil a ripping bass guitarist and top front man/vocalist . Sad that he eventually drank and drugged himself to death.



^^^^^^
EDIT: This was awesome

Now without using the internet, and this is a matter of trust now luthor, who was the support band?

I genuinely can't remember John.

In fact, I think we may have arrived late after a session at the "old" Embo, and missed the support band completely.

What I do remember is that the TL concert was free, having been sponsored (I think) by the City Council?

Also, upon further scanning of my (severely *ed) memory banks, I'm thinking that it was probably late 70's (1979?)

Great to have another Hanley on board. If he goes half as well as his bro he will still be a pretty good player.

It's hard to know when it comes to fitness. I've only seen Cian play in a couple of games so it's a small sample size but he definitely seemed to have the athleticism to get around the park comfortably and then carry the ball well. But he's a natural footballer, similar to Pearce, he just looks comfortable with the ball in his hand. I would imagine this will eventually transfer to the oval one as well.

Just out of interest SSK, would you say ACL's are more or less common in Gaelic football than AFL?

Great to see our Irish Academy going great guns

Whakoo ring a bell? Such a Fabulous Dancer was the one hit. Yes was a freebie by BCC and was in the late 70's. Good stuff

Trust me, it's not great. My generation genuinely sucks.

A small consolation

I hear crocheting is good.

That the game with a mallet & hoops?

No no, you're thinking of croquembouche.
