At this time when many feel they've been pushed around by an oppressive government I thought this story of an awesome woman who dared to push back a refreshing change of pace. May God be with you fellow FReepers. This has been a test of the Emergency Panic System. In case of an actual emergency take a deep breath and assume the position.

A pirate.
She is lucky she wasn’t hung.

Rats. Looks like I’ve confused Rockfleet for Castle Stalker.

I was going to ping you but you apparently have ESP so what the what. This was an amazing woman deserving of note yet only now I learn of her. We are blessed that despite all the negative things going on many dedicated people carry on good work and work for the good.

I was just about to crank out the 75 or so new topics from today and noticed that topic in the raw file. :^)

If she had been hung she might have had children but she wouldn’t have given birth to any.

If she would have been 'hung' she would be a heroic symbol for the mentally ill who make me endure commercials for specifically homo medicine. Who knew dreads stacked on top of one's head signaled "restroom breaks" furthering their spread of disease? Ack!
Seriously though, this woman went before Elizabeth who everyone knew did not stint on executing or assassinating threats; in her finest wardrobe and spoke so plainly honest she beguiled the ruler of the empire. And Elizabeth knew that Gale's fine glove covered an iron fist so listened.

If Gale had been hung Elizabeth might have hanged “her.”
No telling how much their gender in common may have impressed the Queen.
14th century girl power! There wasn’t a lot of it but what there was was awesome and terrifying. :)

Beautiful!
I spent some time at the Dun na mBo blowhole on Doonamo Point near Belmullet Mayo. It was like the earth was breathing. Powerful stuff.

That band must have low availability outside of Ireland. Maybe the label they’re on is given in the video credits...
