So very sorry for your loss. The scene in The Queen of Ireland that made me weep uncontrollably was of you, filmed from behind, walking down a path flanked by your lovely mum and dad. So much love and support in one simple, poignant shot. I've never forgotten it. My sympathy to you.

Oh how lovely! I didn't know that!

Agree!
In German it's a zilpzalp ("tsilp-tsalp"), which I find even more fitting.

Crying the same tears, bud, except I'm still here.

Exactly.
Nowadays I can guess people's age by their reaction when I say "Kelly, wie die Kelly Family". Getting more and more blank faces, which can only be good.

I couldn't possibly comment, but they may indeed have had an unconventional understanding of the tax code and other monetary matters.

I couldn't escape them. And the worst thing was: I didn't know who the hell they were, and no-one could believe they weren't a). huge in Ireland or b). the epitome of Irishness itself

When I moved to Germany in the mid-'90s, the godawful Kelly Family were MASSIVE, like superstar-scale huge. People rang me out of the blue (landline, phone book days) in the hope that I was one of them. Whenever I had to give my surname, people either swooned or sneered. It was a nightmare.

Oh please may I join in, please? Some northern German pylons for you...

I've been thinking about Heather and Gary so much since the news. I feel so desperately sad for him.

Jimmy, do you mind if I ask what tech you're using? Would love to set my daughter up with a smartwatch that's compatible with Dexcom G6... Many thanks!

It's grand here, Katie. I'm enjoying the podcast!

No! Devastating news.
