Greetings all Irish people the world over. My name is Frank Boleyn and I am from the Irish town of Dublin. Dublin is the capital of Ireland. I live in Scotland at the moment and would like to tell people about all slices of Irish culture. I am particular;y interested in Ballykissangel, River Dance, Lord of The Dance, The Corrs, Boyzone, Westlife, and The Eugene Lambert Puppet Theatre. In the coming weeks I will provide further information on these fascinating (and genuine) reflections of contemporary Ireland. There appears to be some confusion amongst you about my identity. I am not in fact a squirrel. This picture merely acts as an "illustration" to the site. Squirrels are the national animal of Ireland.

This is a photo of a man sitting in one of Dublin City's famous rickshaws. These uniquely Irish concepts commute from Grafton street in Dublin to Leeson street, where this man can be seen "when Offaly are up for the hurling" Offaly is a small suburb of Dublin. The series Ballykissangel is based on actual events that take place on a daily basis in Offaly. This week in Ballykissangel, the nasty policewoman made Paul Dooley paint the gym of the children's school because he tried to seel her Poitin (Puh 'cheen) Poitin is a wojus Irish drink made from Potatoes (spuds) that causes slurring of words and nausea, followed by death. Dooley did indeed paint the school gym, but he got the local childer (children) to help him and they all had a great laugh. I think sandwiches were involved somewhere along the way aswell. I like hang sangitches (HAM SANDWICHES) But I do not like TK Red Lemonade. TK Red Lemonade is a drink for those from the country. I exclude Waterford from this list as it is a "TK Red Lemonade-Free-Zone"

My interests: The athlete Jesse Owens
|
Although he is not strictly speaking Irish, the athlete Jesse Owens has always fascinated me. I am particularl;y interested in the Irish aspects of his personality. He is not, of course, as accomplished a hurlder as Kildare's TJ Kearns. For further information on TJ, click on the selected website below. This website exists only in cyberspace, or "The Internet" I would like to make a further point here. I devote almost 25 percent of my energy to wondering how Irish "comedian" Brendan O'Carroll became a success. This "rag for one's toes" has made a career from hilarious catchphrases such as "how's your snowballs" and "How's your raspberry ripple" ho ho ho. As a matter of fact, the more I look at this photo of "Jesse" Owens, the more I think it is not him, merely a photograph of a black athlete in the "ready" pose. Do you see what he is doing here? He is waiting for the blast of the starter's gun to prompt him to run. I am not the only Irish poet, there is alos Pat Inglesby of "Pat's Hat" fame and sundry childer (see above) one might see on the Late Late Toy Show, a consumer-oriented broadcast aimed at the Christ-mas market. God Bless Oireland.
