Well Aries would be ok in North Wales she is Irish. The trouble with English speakers visiting North Wales they expect people to switch to speaking English, When people are all ready in conversation in Welsh. Then they get paranoid they are being spoken about.


Welsh is the first language of Gogs (North Wales)

Northern Ireland is a diferent country from the Irish republic..... Belfast and NOT Dublin was where the troubles were.


Me I just love Ireland and one Irish lass in particular... And I had the pleasure of making and meeting lots of new friends and found out that the Irish are just as daft as us Scots...

Jaysus but some of the Irish lassies are totaly off thier heads

Nuala
vonney
Tessie
Lorraine
Lyrical
to name but a few

The guys are nice and quite reserved like me
Colm
Eamonn
Ronan
All nice upstanding citizens (note) only upstanding before bar opens

oh gawd, all the food talk, just remembered, went over for Christmas one year, was asked if there was anything I would like ? Said oh love me pigs in jackets!!!!

Crimbo dinner arrived and it was a mountain!! piled about 8 inches high on the plate!! but no pigs... thought thank gawd for that.... then they arrived in a separate bowl blues full size sausages... wrapped in 2 slices of back bacon from the local butcher crying

I think I managed to get down to around an inch left on the plate and 4 sausages... before, for the one and only time EVER having to excuse myself and go for a after dinner sleep!!

Yeah they sure like their food grin
