THE VOW...

"I'm getting "leathered" again....but I don't know why.. why does he hurt me?....why make me cry?... What did I do wrong, to deserve that leather belt?.. didn't he even care...about the pain that I felt?.. Didn't he feel guilty, for what he'd just done?.. No I don't think he did...because I wasn't his son.. I was only about nine...I just had to suffer the whack!.. ..yeah I was a skinny little bastard....who vowed to fight back!"

That's me ...."the skinny little bastard"...far left on the front row...sitting in Liffey Street...Liverpool 1955...(yet to feel the leather belt from a step "dad")........happy days...
