I don’t recall ever seeing Jackie sporting a beard. And I must have seen him when LU visited The Dell - although it would have been over half a century ago; Oh Buqqer - it’s a real sh1t getting old!
When I was a kid visiting family on the west coast of Ireland for my summer holidays, a lot of the farmhouses on the Mayo coast had religious triptychs on the wall, the Sacred Heart a large picture in the centre, and saints or angels flanking that.
I didn’t see it myself, but there were pictures in the Irish papers in the ‘80s of houses with the triptych with Jack Charlton having replaced one of the saints.
That joke was also referenced in one of the TV episodes of Dr. Who, where having saved Pompeii (OK, so bits of it) icons of himself and the TARDIS replaced the “House Gods” in the home of the Romans he helped.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
Philosophy is wondering whether that makes tomato sauce a smoothie.
Common sense is knowing that tomato sauce is not a smoothie.
