A whale got beached down in West Cork last week and sadly died and now the locals of two villages are squabbling over the bones of the body. What the hell are we like at all ? We often say that if you died your cats would eat you but I say watch your neighbour while you're alive ! You wouldn't know whether the hoors would steal your eyeballs out of your head when you're not looking.

Villagers find bone to pick over whale remains

By Eoin English
YOU’VE heard of pistols at dawn — now there’s a stand-off at low tide.

A row has flared between two west Cork villages over the remains of the giant Courtmacsherry whale.

The 20-metre 50-tonne adult female fin whale became stranded on a sandbank in Courtmacsherry Harbour last Thursday morning.

Despite heroic efforts by the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) and dozens of locals, the animal later died.

Now a row has flared after a group of people from Courtmacsherry tried to remove the creature’s jaw bones on Saturday.

They want to put the massive bones on display in the village in memory of the creature.

But villagers from nearby Kilbrittain blocked the operation, staking a claim on the remains.

The stand-off continued last night as efforts to broker a deal between both sides got under way.

And these people are allowed to vote ?

It's something a short film could be made out of. Jaysus we have to start making more fillums in this country - some are mighty altogether. Up to now we haven't had great time for Art with all the money that was out there to be made though.... unfortunately.

I'll begin writing the screenplay here for this episode now though .. just after this short 41 second interlude...
