We're all on this continuum, spectrum, whatever you think.
So anything you mention about the human condition, there's a bit of it in all of us.
I have to say thank you very much to Bernard not just for being on and being funny but for pointing me towards the video of the Castletown Donkey Derby 1994.
Okay.
I'd never seen this.
And seemingly it is up there with the cult classics.
You know, David O'Doherty cites it in an article in The Guardian of his top 10 things.
It's been voted top 10 viral YouTube sports thing.
So it's a donkey derby, three participants in Castletown.
So there was...
Billy and his sister Jennifer.
They were Lees.
Billy being the younger of the two.
And they look like they're probably, you know, nine, ten.
And then there's Ciarán or Ciarán.
And he's a teenager.
He's participated in the Castletown Donkey Derby in previous years.
He's on the third donkey, which is called Miss Ellie.
But the star of the show is Joe O'Brien.
So he's the presenter stroke commentator.
