Damhna, sorry to break this to you but Twisty doesn’t have internet access at home so it’ll be tomorrow before he’s able to take up your challenge. what in God’s name are you doing up this early anyway 🙂 ---

My revenge will lie… It will lie amongst my dogs It will await the coming of the Twist… This may be the very apocolyspe. The fury in my heart is yet unmastered. The passion on my blade awaits his arrival… I will make short play if this pretender ---

The Queen of all that is Good replies. You may protest for the favour of your friend. I fear that I may not spare him on your account alone. Tell me of a noble deed. Tell me of some fiend he has devoured. Tell me any demon he hast vanquised that yet might stay my blade. Check RTE1 to find out why I am awake at this godforsaken hour. And when battle commences…stand back lest we sever the wonderous locks of hair that my sons will speak of for years to come should they stay intact. Grainne Mhoal had nothing on you fairness! ---

RTÉ1 duly checked … it’s beginning to make sense now 🙂 Reasons to spare Twisty? Well, he’s cute, and the DubDopes wouldn’t be the same without him. And he was in the Artane Boys Band. And Tatertot would kill you (this is **not** a woman to be messed with). Lots of reasons! Grainne Mhoal, wasn’t she bald? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by yojimbo \* > **Got out of Sligo then did you Ruadh?** Yes, thank God. We were supposed to be in Donegal but got trapped en route by the snowstorm. By yesterday morning we had enough and said “we’re getting the fuck out of here” even though it was lashing at the time. Couldn’t believe how nice the weather was in Dublin. Hopefully Damhna’s slept it off by now though I have to say this has been one of the funniest threads I’ve seen in some time 😉 ---
