 OVERHEARD IN HARRIS & HOOLE...

(An occasional feature)



3rd May 2026

Myself, Mary Winterbourne, Tony of the Big Saloon and Frances 'Fanny' Dango got together this afternoon in Harris & Hoole. 

MARY WINTERBOURNE:  Gene I see Detterling is still breathing fire against you. He is threatening to set A.N. Wilson to take legal action against you.

GENE:  Yes Mary. I am not concerned. This will never happen. Detterling knows that I have two deadly trump cards up my sleeve. If I use either of them against him the sky will fall on his head. Detterling is all bluff and bluster.

MARY WINTERBOURNE: I see that he and Delia have gone on retreat to Corrymeela. 

GENE: Yes a place that's not for me. I can hear Kumbayah  being sung around the campfire.

FRANCES 'FANNY' DANGO: Oh! dear. How uncool.

GENE: 

ASSISTED SUICIDE
IT SHALL NEVER BE
NOT IN MERRIE ENGLAND
LAND OF THE FREE.

    ' "16 April 2012: Ray Davey, the founder of the Corrymeela community, has died. He set up the organisation in 1965 to promote Christian reconciliation and peace-building, and led the community until his retirement in 1980. Born in Dunmurry in 1915, Mr Davey played for the Ulster rugby team before the outbreak of World War Two. He was a prisoner-of-war in Italy and Germany after he was captured in Tobruk, North Africa. After the war ended, he served as a Presbyterian chaplain at Queen's University from 1946 to 1970. Belfast Telegraph religious correspondent Alf McCreary said Mr Davey had left a lasting legacy.

    "Corrymeela showed that you could build bridges across the community in a practical way," he said. "They didn't preach Christianity, they lived it, and Ray showed that reconciliation would be the only way forward."

    Alliance Party leader David Ford said Mr Davey was a "huge inspiration".

    "Ray was a man with a vision for a transformed and reconciled Northern Ireland, but he was not just a visionary as he put that vision into practice in his work as chaplain at Queen's University and as founder leader of Corrymeela," he said.'

    Whereas Gene "Groper" Vincent is still and will remain an arrogant, ignorant, vicious, bigoted Roman Catholic bastard without a Christian bone in his body.

    Bluff? Bluster? YOU WISH, FILTH.

    1. "GENE: Now let us raise our drinks and have three cheers for the kick up the ass the failure of this bill has delivered to that silly old bat Esther Rantzen."

      That "silly old bat Esther Rantzen" who is dying of cancer.

      I expect that when she dies you'll turn up on piss on her grave for fun, will you, Gene?

      You are vile.

  3. As ever, when Gene has nothing to say, he says it.

    What a pitiful example of Christianity he is. He sneers at the work of Ray Davey, a decorated WWII bomber pilot who, returning from a prisoner of war camp, dedicated the rest of his life to working for reconciliation between the warring factions - Gene's murderous buddies in the IRA and the UVF and UDA. What time Gene, whose contribution to debate is sneering, scoffing and crowing, whilst insulting a woman dying of cancer, continues to kiss his own arse., heedless of the fact that he fills himself even fuller of shit by so doing.

    You are filth, Groper, and soon the whole world is going to know it.

    Goodbye.

    Even for you Detterling that is such an evil comment to make.

    "soon the whole world is going to know it"

    Not so. The moment this appears likely one or both the devastating trump cards I hold will be played and the sky will fall on your aging head.

      I took my cue from you, Groper - the man who scoffs at a woman dying of cancer, so don't you fucking lecture me about evil, you pompous twat.

      "Not so. The moment this appears likely one or both the devastating trump cards I hold will be played and the sky will fall on your aging head."

      Oooh, this is new, isn't it Groper? "Devastating trump cards" - I wonder what those might be? More badly written shite from Swashfuckling Bullshittigan?

      Nothing a cretinous little shithouse like you could come up with would come anywhere near me.

    1. "And don't forget Detterling my father was also a WWII pilot."

      No he wasn't.

      He was the lavatory attendant in the other ranks NAAFI at RAF Uxbridge, whence he was court-martialled for procuring appetising young AC2s for your Uncle Nancy at a time when he was one of the most notorious buggers in London. Woe betide anyone who bent over in the showers at the Cromwell Road YMCA when your Uncle Nancy was in there...

    2. Oh, and spare us the pearl clutching outrage, Groper - you dish it out without the slightest regard for the pain you inflict when you do, so it's your turn to take it.

      If you can't take it, don't dish it out, Groper. And remember that revenge is a dish best eaten cold by a man immune to - or at least, for the most cogent of all possible reasons, unafraid of any comeback.

      The penny hasn't dropped yet, has it, bastard Groper?
