Them's Fighting Words, Roddy!

Transition Year Class A with Roddy Doyle, Mrs. Monagle and Miss Lafferty

Was it the excitement of having created their first short story together or was it the experience of meeting the great Roddy Doyle, whose work they were studying in their classroom?
Maybe it was the soaking they got while running up O'Connell Street in Dublin in a thunder-shower to get to the bus in Parnell Square before it departed for the hills of Donegal...
Whatever the reason, the noise on the bus home to Carndonagh from "Fighting Words" caused me to note that...when Youth is determined, Youth will prevail!
I wonder will anyone top their 'world record' of thirty minutes non-stop clapping in unison!
