#IrisgTimes Pat Leahy's article on #HealyRae brothers fallout https://archive.is/hS6oo is short on insight/research, but big on #snark. Esp about their da, the late Jackie Healy-Rae TD.

"When Jackie Healy-Rae first emerged, a sophisticate in FF remarked he’d never get elected, not least cos he looked like he combed his hair with a pork chop."

Jackie was elected 3 times as a TD, and founded a dynasty.

But the "sophisticate" was right about the pork chop. 😈😅🤣

1950s Brylcreem: Swing Into Style with Unflappable Hair!

Witness a golf pro's perfect swing, proving that even on the links, a Brylcreem man keeps his cool – and his hair perfectly in place!🏌️‍♂️ This vintage spot reminds us that a little dab'll do ya, for that effortlessly dapper look.

I can't help but think of a 1950s Brylcreem b&w tv commercial-- I'd love to find a video!
Scene: a teenage boy looking at his hair in the bathroom mirror.

He says, running his fingers through his messy hair: "Life's a mess."

Jingle:
"Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya,
Brylcreem, you'll look so debonnaire,
Brylcreem, the gals will all persue ya,
They love to get their fingers in your hair."

Next frame: boy uses Brylcreem, combs his hair,
Final frame:
Boy smiling.
