F**k, i'm hungry!!
Not that we read the irish independant that often, but two stories in todays issue are interesting. One, about an alleged kidnap threat is here and of course because its associated with Limerick it is the front page headline. No prizes for guessing which family is involved. Maybe someday, the media will leave the (not so) poor people alone and let them live their lives in peace.
Meanwhile buried inside the paper- and this has nothing to do with limerick for a change is a story about a controversial play concerning the famine that is running in Sligo at the minute. "'F*** I'm Hungry' " is billed as "An Historical Portrait of The Great Famine" and one of the funnier bits of the poster is the warning that the plays contain "strong language and material that may be considered offensive by religious types and listeners to the Joe Duffy Show". Anything that could be considered offensive to whineline listeners must be worth a look.
