Obey the walrus's channel

Hello Princess!

No just a general question....

I don't care about Demi that much. Just let's change the subject.

She has been copying comments by me on this site over there on that Graveyard MetaJolt, which at this stage has very few people even bothering about the toilet of a place. I made the ElizabethEllen channel over here to stop her from being able to use her name, as I was have now used that name first on this site. I know she, just like the Child Groomer Nightfright also, is lurking over here, watching Alex's, yours's, mine's, and Dennis's, and a few others, and then has the audacity to call us stalkers. NightFright likes boys in around 15 years old the filthy animal. He stalks everyone all day every day. The sooner he dies with gangerene of his dead legs the better. The sexually abused of this world will be in a safer palce that day .

Good evening Anton, what is the lesson plan for today?

Yes, at 27 you're pretty young to be in that role, Anton. Generally people are quite a bit older than you when they have to look after an aging parent, but I see your mother was somewhat older when she had you (though I think that's becoming more and more common - at least in some countries). On another topic - you don't like your native language?

My mother was finding it increasingly difficult to take care of her house and herself, and no way did I want her going into a home (she has severe arthritis too, has two artificial knees, COPD, and high blood pressure). I'm so glad we didn't go that route - especially now with this pandemic. I've heard about the situation in NYC, but we can't say a damn thing here in Canada. It was a national disgrace what happened in the long term care homes here when the pandemic hit. Frightened, overwhelmed workers ended up bailing out, so they had to call in the military to take care of the poor elderly people. The military then released a scathing report, describing how the residents were left crying in beds with no one helping them, laying for days in their own excrement and urine, starving, dehydrated. Many of them died like that. It was terrible Anton, just awful.

No worries, I'm gonna make a go of getting some more sleep myself. Have a good night Anton.

Arthur C. Clarke described Newgrange as "the oldest building in the world".

Our monastic golden age was brought to an end toward the 9th and 10th centuries, with many a Viking raid. Although the Irish king Brian Boru of Munster waged a very successful campaign against the Vikings, ending in a now famous and very decisive rout of the Viking presence in Ireland at the battle of Clontarf in 1014, which broke the Vikings as a political force in Ireland once and for all, sadly...Boru's two heirs were killed in that battle, which meant that the stability his lineage may have provided to Ireland, never materialized.

Even before that period however, the Neolithic Irish were achieving great things, as evidenced by Newgrange. I made a video on it awhile back. If you're interested, here it is. >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcq7gZTeG_c

Yea, Ireland's golden age was funnily enough, during Europe's dark ages. It was...in an interesting twist, the Irish who brought Christianity back to England after the Romans pulled out, and much of Scotland too. Ireland was unaffected by the cataclysm that was the collapse of the Roman world, first in Britain and then later on, throughout western Europe. However, it was not Catholicism that the Irish missionaries were bringing to England, but rather...their own brand of Christianity which eventually came into contest, if not necessarily conflict, with Roman Catholicism which was making inroads into Britain from the continent. The material nature of the Roman Catholic church provided it with the wealth to eventually prevail over Irish Christianity. In a strange twist of fate, the Irish would later...along with the rest of western Europe, become Catholic, and later again, refuse to participate in the protestant reformation, and thus be persecuted for centuries by the English, for a faith they had once competed with for influence in England.

Ah fuck it! For some reason I cannot make the image below any smaller. I tried.

It was said of the Normans, that they became more Irish than the Irish themselves, by taking up Irish customs and dropping French as their first language in favour of Gaelic. As such, the Irish received much better treatment under the Normans than their recently conquered Saxon neighbours in England. The Irish and the French have had such exchanges back and forth. During a period of Irish history known as "The Flight Of The Earls", much of the Irish nobility had to flee Ireland in 1607 due to continued English encroachment into Ireland. They ended up mostly in Catholic France and Spain, and today there are more than a few French wines with Irish names, not to mention Hennessy Cognac. Interestingly, Regis Philbin is a direct descendant of "Niall Of The Nine Hostages", a well known Irish king, who once ruled over what is today, Northern Ireland. Below is a well known painting depicting the marriage of Aoife to Strongbow.

French names are common enough in Ireland, due to the Normans being invited into Ireland by the 12th century king of Leinster (Irish province) Diarmaid Mac Murrough, who had been deposed by the Irish high king Ruaidri Ua Conchobair or Rory O' Connor a few years earlier. The arrangement was, that the Normans would assist Mac Murrough in recapturing his kingdom from O'Connor, and in exchange, their mercenary leader Richard de Clare aka "Strongbow" would inherit the kingdom of Leinster from Mac Murrough upon his death, by marrying his daughter Aoife. She of course...had no say in the matter. De Clare took Leinster back from O'Connor, and didn't have to wait long for his inheritance, as Mac Murrough died just two years later. Thus began the English presence on the island of Ireland, which...with the exception of Northern Ireland, wasn't lifted until 1921. That's most likely how my ancestors ended up in Ireland.

That's interesting. I have on occasion wondered if I am in any way related to the English philosopher John Locke, only because it is my mother's maiden name. But even if I am, it wouldn't be much to lay claim to, as Locke is a common enough name in these parts. So I'd likely be one of a great many of his progeny. On my father's side, I bear the surname of a famous Irish soccer player. Famous in both Ireland and England. If I had a euro for every time I was asked if I were related to him, and another euro for every time I had to disappoint people, I'd have at least enough for a PS5. Like Locke, my father's surname is an English one, and although not entirely rare in Ireland, I wouldn't say that it's common on this side of the Irish sea.
