Thanks Jim. Tombuktu, I think there’s more than a few housing estates beyond the Pale which were brown enveloped. The Dubs got caught, that’s all. and the photo I googled with “thumbs up” and there it was!

Love the photograph, Conor. It’s brilliant. Where did you get that one from?

I don’t know how the lines are meant to link, but wasn’t it the Dubliner councillors, and not the culichies, who were notorious for the brown envelopes?

“Runner-up, as used in this context, is simply a euphemism for winner.” - brilliant, I’m definitely stealing that line from you at some point Conor.
