Today is the anniversary of the landing at Killala in 1798 of a French expeditionary force under General Humbert to assist the revolt of the United Irishmen against the British Crown.
So that's another excuse for me to have a pic of me up - doing 1798 in 98 - I did quite a few things - presumably noone else wanted to - including a tv programme 'Ulster's '98'. We also 'occupied' Lisburne which was hairy - it was supposed to finish with the hanging of Henry Munro but a descendant objected and the whole thing was finished off with a sing-song.
