The Barber Shop. John Street Omagh

Before anyone jumps on, I'm not defending any crime or violence. Every victim deserves justice.

But I do wonder about the consistency.

Quote
"sure the protests cuz that black c*nt up in Belfast"
(Not my words)

Conor Browne stabbed to death years ago by a local

Natalie McNally was murdered. No riots.

There was a r**e and attempted murder on Castle Street in Omagh, less than a mile from where people now gather for a protest. By locals.. Irish!!
No organised protest

We've seen countless families destroyed by drugs, addiction, violence, suicides and criminality. Where are the protests against the drug dealers poisoning our communities? Men that fought for their beliefs both sides would be turning in their graves not just by sharing flags together but paralimitries flushing drugs for profit 🤢

Some of the same people sharing posts about what "shouldn't happen" will sit and have a cup of tea with relatives who have committed serious offences themselves (you know who you are) 🫵🏾

And what about all the women murdered across Ireland by men over the years? Every one of them mattered. Every family suffered. Yet we didn't see the same public reaction every time.

If we're going to take a stand against violence, then let's be consistent about it. Justice, safety and accountability should matter regardless of who the victim is, where they're from, or what background they have.

Every victim deserves that.

If this is the case of so called riots protests and stance against barbaric actions , r**e murder etc.

We may block book Campsie daily right up to the courthouse

🎱 BALD THE BOYS – Inspirational Bald Character #3

After Leo McCullagh and Eddie Duffy Junior... we move onto another local legend...
Boris Kerrigan 👨🏻‍🦲
A Newton legend and now living in Omagh, Boris comes from a family where baldness isn't a condition It's practically a requirement. The majority of the Kerrigans have travelled the same road, with Boris simply getting there a bit quicker than most... allegedly.
Known far and wide as "Colin Allegedly Kerrigan", Boris has mastered the art of telling a story while leaving himself a legal exit route every second sentence.
Office man by day, door supervisor by night, Boris has spent years keeping things running smoothly... allegedly.
A huge supporter of local charities, community events and good causes, Boris is always one of the first to put his hand up when help is needed. Whether it's fundraising, volunteering or lending support, he's a credit to the local community 👏
A supporter of both Celtic and Manchester City, proving Boris likes to keep his options open when it comes to celebrating trophies 🏆😂
Boris said:
"Delighted to support such a great cause. Sure the baldness wasn't my fault... allegedly."
Famous for having some of the finest lunch breaks in Omagh, Boris can often be spotted making the most of his hour. What exactly happens during those lunch breaks remains strictly confidential... allegedly 🍺😉
One thing is certain — Boris may have lost the hair battle early, but he's embraced it with style. A worthy addition to our Bald The Boys Hall of Fame 👨🏻‍🦲👏

Big day for the county tomorrow with the hurlers and U20s both in All-Ireland Finals. 🔴⚪

My flag pole and Tyrone flag appear to have disappeared after Bank Holiday Sunday. (Too much stout and sunburn perhaps... 🍺☀️)

And before anyone asks... no, it's not one of those poles that gets thrown about on the next bank holiday!! 🥁

Speaking of poles and flegs, someone suggested I DM Jamie Bryson. I'd rather keep the search local and leave him to his bigger investigations... maybe helping his old mate Jeffrey find a few things.👀

No questions asked.

I just want me pole back. 😢😂

Anyways open tomorrow 7 to 3!!

Massive good luck to the 2 teams..

Open today 12 to 6
Closed tomorrow folks like all Thursdays recently .
Bit of a special Thursday tomorrow

🎱 BALD THE BOYS – Inspirational Bald Character #2 🎱

After Vinny’s cub Leo McCullagh… we move onto another local legend… Eddie Duffy Junior 👨🏻‍🦲

Widely regarded as one of the best barmen in Omagh (according to everyone bar Kyle 😅)… although if you’re in a rush for a pint and home, pray he’s not on shift 🍺

Eddie’s always first in line when it comes to helping local causes. From MC’ing events to backing fundraisers, he never leaves things half done 🎤👏

Eddie said:
“Delighted to sponsor such a great cause… but don’t go too hard on me or I’ll get me da after ye!!”

A dangerous threat from a man whose old boy managed to get sent off in two different countries in the one day… a bit like Eddie’s hairline — disappearing across borders 😭😂

Open 12 to 6 today
Tomorrow 7 to 3.

🚨 10 Weeks To The Charity Baldness 🚨

I need a bit of inspiration on the road to the shave… so every week I’ll be shouting out one of the great bald icons of our generation. 🥁
Where else could we start…

⭐ WEEK 1 – Leo McCullagh ⭐

(Omagh / Dromore / Killyclogher… somehow all at once)
A man with more clubs than Tiger Woods and a suspicious love affair with Coalisland.
Leo has been a bald pioneer for decades. Rumour has it he arrived out of the womb with a receding hairline and a mortgage.
A true inspiration
Leo stated:
“Glad to sponsor such a good cause… and even gladder I got the McCullagh genes for this wonderful occasion.”
Brave. Inspirational. Reflective.
The sort of scalp you could set your watch by.
