From the New York Times : Irish Eyes Are Winking, You Can Hear the Angels Laugh

But is the laughter of the angels funny-haha or funny-nervous?

Is laughing at your circumstances giving in ? Are you accepting that’s your lot ?

“Sure I may as well laugh because fuck all is going to be done about it”.

I’d like to have seen Des get into some of the new immigrant communities. Now that would have been interesting. What would our Polish friends have to say about their new home ? I’d be interested to find out just what the insular Chinese community are doing. God knows when I’ve said ‘hello’ to any of them they look right through me.
