Furry Knickers Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Me poor Mammy told me about the Annual Horse painting contest in Kildare one sunday back in the early 60's, and the first prize was a night out with Joe Dolan and a years supply of Calvita cheese. Me Mammy wanted the cheese very badly, but she was no good at painting horses! So she made an arrangement with owl Gerry Boyle (the bread delivery man for Kelly's bakery in Kilcock) He was great at painting and saw himself as the local Van goff, he even changed his name to Gerry Van Boyle, and had his hair dyed ginger.Gerry used to do a lot of mowing with his little qualcast push mower, and would get these terrible blisters on the palms of his hands, and sometimes the blisters would bleed! one time he was giving Mrs Brennan her sliced batch when she noticed the red blood marks on his hands and she screamed and dropped her batch and yelled "bejaney you have the stigmartins" now poor Gerry had no idea what a stigmartin was untill Mrs Brennan told him that they are the markings of the crucifixion. Word got round about him very quickly, and everyone started bringing all their sick babies to him to be healed, he was interviewed by radio Shamrock and even was on the Late Late show on the telly.Well as me Mammy knew the truth about him, she was able to perswade him to paint a horse for her, and hand over all the cheese if he won! He actually did win the contest and we gorged ourselves on the cheese so much that it was all gone in 3 months![kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
