Jokes A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on the phone line, covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front door to leave their house. The cat they had put out into the yard scoots back into the house. They don't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the man in hot pursuit.
Waiting in the cab, the wife doesn't want the driver to know the house will be empty for the night. She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother." A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. "Sorry I took so long," he says, as they drive away. "Stupid thing was hiding under the bed." Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!" The cabdriver hit a parked car...
A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish. "Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband." said the wife. The fairy moved her magic stick and - abracadabra! - two tickets for the new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands. Now it was the husbands turn. He thought for a moment and said: "Well this is all very romantic, but
an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime, so, I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me." The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish... So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick and -abracadabra! - the husband became 92 years old. The moral of this story: "Fairies are female."
A tom cat and a tabby cat were courting on a back fence at night. The tom leaned over to the tabby with pent up passion and purred... "I'll die for you!" The tabby gazed at him from under lowered eye lids and asked, "How many times?"
A man told his doctor, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?" The doctor replied, "Try this test first. When your wife is at the sink doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, keep moving closer, asking the same question until she hears you." He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her, he said, "What's for dinner, honey?" Hearing no reply, he moved up to ten feet behind her and repeated the question. Still no reply, so he moved to five feet. Still no answer. Finally he stood directly behind her and said, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?" "FOR THE FOURTH TIME, I SAID CHICKEN, You'd better get your hearing checked!"

Nenagh Arts Centre Presents Oscar Nominated ‘A Prophet’ Nenagh Arts Centre begins its season of foreign films with the 2010 Oscar hopeful ‘A Prophet’ at 8 p.m. on next Thursday, November 4th in the Town Hall in Banba Square, Nenagh. The film is a powerful prison-gangster picture from ‘The Beat That My Heart Skipped’ director Jacques Audiard. Looking like a modern classic from the outset, the film hits a confident stride early on. The story follows petty criminal Malik (Tahar Rahim), a nineteen year-old Arab man who is beginning a six year term in prison in France. Cesar, a Corsican mobster also doing time, sensing the fragile nature of the young man and offers him jobs or “missions” within the prison - the violence of these tending to toughen Malik up over time. Finally Cesar makes him a new and terrifying of-
fer: kill another prisoner or by refusing, be killed himself. Malik’s decision has the power to alienate him from his own kind, the Arab gangsters and to fall fully under the protection of the Corsican leader. This choice leads him on a terrible path, that will force him to bring together all his cunning for survival and to confront his very identity. Director Audiard has commented on the social aspects of the film saying the film aims at "creating icons, images for people who don't have images in movies, like the Arabs in France." The film was a nominee for Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, in 2010 and won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. The film has subtitles. Tickets at €6 can be booked on 067 34900 or at the Arts Centre reception.

His quiet and determined personality was hugely influential on Tipperary’s success this year and he is held in very high regard by his fellow players, by team management and all associated with Tipperary hurling. He epitomised all that is good in the GAA. He will be missed very much. We thank him for his dedicated service and wish him and his family well for the future. BORRISOKANE WIN IN MUNSTER

Nenagh CBS Concert Band Reunion Saturday November 6th promises to be a day to remember for all present and former members of the Nenagh CBS Concert Band! This year marks the Band’s Silver Jubilee and, in Abbey Court Hotel on that evening at 8 pm, a major reunion has been organised to celebrate 25 great years of music-making and friendship. All former members, committee members, tutors, families, friends and associates of the Band are cordially invited! A hard-working Jubilee Committee is busily engaged in ensuring that this is going to be a great night for all involved. Members are at present sifting through mountains of photographs, charting the band’s activities over the past quarter of a century, with a view to having a montage of hundreds of photos on display at the event. Others are scanning countless hours of video footage and transferring them to DVD in order to have a backdrop of rolling video on the night.
Many former members have already signalled their intentions to travel long distances to be present at the event. Music will be provided by the present band, with many former members also planning to entertain their colleagues on the night. All indications are that this is going to be wonderful night of music, memories and meeting old friends and certainly not an occasion to be missed! Families are asked to ensure that all former band members are aware of the event, especially those living away from home. The website www.nenaghcbsband.com and the Facebook Page, Friends of Nenagh CBS Band have full information on the event and those who have not already done so, are earnestly requested to immediately register their details on one site or the other. Tickets at €10 will be available shortly from present/former committee members and also at the door. Anyone seeking further information or offering assistance should contact Michael Burke on 087-2864798

A standard Volkswagen Passat Bluemotion has covered a world recordbreaking 1,527 miles on a single tank of fuel with the Guinness World Records Organisation officially recognising this as a world-beating distance! Driven on public roads in France and Britain by Sunday Times journalist Gavin Conway, the Volkswagen averaged 45mph and 89.83mpg over three days. The Passat Bluemotion’s official, combined economy figure is 64.2mpg. It cost just over six pence per mile to complete a distance equivalent to driving from London to Malaga. The Passat Bluemotion is a standard production car that has a stop and start technology, a 1.6-litre common rail diesel engine, a transmission geared
for economy, aerodynamic changes including a lower ride height, and special tyres. Earlier this year Volkswagen launched BlueMotion specific eco-friendly models in Ireland in three of their top selling cars, the Polo, Golf and Passat resulting all three BlueMotions becoming the world’s most fuel-efficient models in their respective classes. Rivals for the Passat Bluemotion include the Vauxhall Insignia Ecoflex and Ford Mondeo Econetic. The Passat’s run was overseen by the AA, and breaks a record set in 2002 when an Australian couple drove a Peugeot 406 1,459 miles on one tank of fuel. For further details log on to www.volkswagen.ie

Micheál O’ Signs for Danielle On his last day at the microphone Micheal O’Muircheartaigh took time out to sign jerseys and his book for Danielle Walsh, who is planning to auction the jerseys at a fundraiser for Irish Kidney Research in the Monks on December 15th . In return Danielle presented the retiring commentator with a replica of the McCarthy Cup, kindly sponsored by Michael’s Jewelers, Friar Street, Thurles. The Mether Cup was a drinking-vessel among the common people, especially at meals and drinking time in ancient Ireland (so called from the drink mead), with four handles: it circulated from hand to hand, each passing it to his neighbour after taking a drink. Visitors drank from the four corners of this Friendship Cup. Always the perfect gent, Micheal O’Muircheartaigh was very appreciate of this, ‘appropriate’, gift and posed for photographs with Danielle and her transplant surgeon, former Dub and Allstar, David Hickey, prior to departing with his son, Aonghus, to his lofty perch high up in the Hogan Stand to broadcast his final match for Radio Eireann on Saturday Oct 30th.
Contact Kevin on 0504 34946 Micheál has promised to visit Durlas Eile in the near future. In the meantime Danielle and her committee ; Secretary; Evelyn Nevin; 0879774725, Treasurer; Michael Carew; 0863707555, Seamus Cooke, Mary Butler, Breada Ryan, Joe O’Regan, Garda Damien Cleere, Garda Bart Howard and Michael O’ Gorman are getting ready for Wednesday Dec 15th. Danielle has got great support from the Tipperary GAA Co. Board, Mid Board, Tipp FMs Paddy Fnnucane. Hayes, Anner and Croke Park Hotels, CrokePark and Semple Stadium All have donated prizes for the raffle. Fantastic prizes for any sporting family with connections to the Premier County are on offer in this raffle, with first prize involving access to the new All Ireland Champions as initial plans are laid down for the two in a row!

Danielle became seriously ill when she was studying for her junior cert at the local Presentation Convent School. She was diagnosed with end stage Renal (kidney) failure, which was devastating news for the teenager and her family. The doctors at the old Meath Hospital
acted quickly and Danielle was put on dialysis within minutes of discovering how serious her illness was. This treatment, which involves the cleansing of a patient’s blood of all impurities, by a machine, helped to stabilize her condition. She spent 10 weeks in hospital recuperating before been allowed home. Danielle had to travel to Dublin for her treatment 3 days per week and was accompanied by her Mum, Kit, for most of those arduous journeys. As Danielle became stronger she was put on the transplant waiting list, in the meantime she returned to school at the Presentation Convent to continue her studies. The following Summer Danielle traveled to Lourdes with a group of friends and returned home to Thurles in great spirits. On the June Bank Holiday the long awaited phone call arrived a 8.30 am, the entire family were whisked to Dublin by Garda escort and arrived at Beaumont Hospital in just over an hour. Danielle received the ‘Gift of Life’ (kidney transplant) later that day, her transplant surgeon, former Dub football star, David Hickey, said that the kidney, which he transplanted, was a perfect match for Danielle.

Counselling
I would like to add that a victim can also use controlling in their attempts to manage the abuser. Because of this there is every danger that the victim may become an abuser without realising it. Part of healing for the victim, therefore, is to be aware of the danger of becoming abusive. Makes you think, doesn’t it? On the other hand it is more likely that the abuser will remain an abuser and the survivor may remain a co-dependent, unless he or she works actively on it. Despite all their efforts survivors may find that while they initially felt relief at escaping from an abusive relationship, they later carry bitterness and regret in their hearts. As Connie Fourré concludes forgiveness may be the key to finding peace. But forgiveness is complex. A person cannot be forced to forgive. A person may wish to forgive, but may not feel it. A person may think that they have reached forgiveness but they may not feel it. There is every chance that if the survivor follows the path outlined in this article that they might reach a place of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the great-
est healer, but it is not letting the abuser off the hook; it is not minimising the abuse, it is not absolving him/her of the responsibility of behaving in a caring way. Forgiveness demands strong boundaries to keep the abuse at bay, and it takes great strength to hold those boundaries without the baggage of bitterness and anger. But the victim who leaves the abuser has buckets of courage. Forgiveness is about letting go of an unpaid debt; a debt that will never be paid. The debt owed by the abuser is to acknowledge the hurt, to change the abusive behaviour, to make amends and to apologise. This will rarely if ever happen. Forgiveness can also mean letting go of the desire for justice that will never be granted. Mourning is the best way to facilitate forgiveness. Connie Fourré makes some suggestions that might lead the survivor to forgiveness, but she makes the point that it is extremely slow. She advises that the survivor begin with baby steps, and is willing to become willing to forgive, to pray for the partner and ask God’s blessing on him/her, and to pray for God’s understanding. God loves both the survivor and the abuser, and sees the vulnerability of both. God has a different perspective than the human’s. I would like to acknowledge the following - Hidden Hurt Domestic Abuse Information. Women’s Rural Advocacy Programs, Dr Irene Matiatos, Dr D’Arcy Lyness, Beverly Engel and Connie Fourré.
