This “award-winning” photograph of the recent flood waters rising in Ireland captures the horror and suffering there. Keep these people in your thoughts.
You know, these people are making the best of it. When the world is 8″ of water, what else is there to do but stand in it…
You ain’t gonna sit, you ain’t gonna lie down.
That amount of water is all it takes to destroy a building. That amount of water in a city is all it takes etc…
…can barely see through tear soaked eyes… these brave, gallant, sons of Erin face nature’s might to assist with the proper handling of sacred nutrients… courage defined… countrymen united in a common goal… very common..
Look again, Those boys are not Irish, sure if they were sons of Erin would they not be fightin & cussin. That bar looks far to civilised to be in Ireland.

While the danger has passed, we must never forget the suffering and sacrifice of these brave men.

Only the Irish will stand in rising water to enjoy a beer.
