Just one little misspelling, Andy, it’s McGuinness with two n’s. I know it’s no biggie, but just in case anyone is confused. In fact, his full name is, James Martin Pacelli McGuinness! So there you have it. I haven’t heard Bobby Sands mentioned in years, well done for reminding us of the best known hunger striker and the first one to die. If any of you are interested, there is a first rate film about Bobby Sands and the hunger strike, directed by Steve McQueen called Hunger which won a BAFTA some years ago.Anyway, yes bummer that neither The Republic, nor Northern Ireland or Wales will be competing in the World Cup; but that’s soccer for you! I’ll be cheering on Spain, so at least I’ll have some realistic hope that my team wins!!
