galrads: Interested in a possible multi-week visit in Ireland, I starting a dogpile.com search on Falconry there and came upon a short article of which I've copied and pasted a few paragraphs below.

It talks about respecting the local customs while visiting the island. I wonder why most people I meet from other countries don't do that while visiting the USA?

Btw ... The article below mentions someone named Bono. Who is Bono? 13 Things Not To Do in Ireland

Whenever you’re traveling somewhere new it’s best to become familiar with a few of the local customs to avoid offending anyone, and Ireland is no exception. For the most part, the Irish are some of the warmest people you’ll ever meet, but it’s still best to learn a few things NOT to do in Ireland. We’ve compiled a list of things to avoid on the Emerald Isle – like don’t expect everyone have red hair and freckles, and please don’t ask about Bono!

1. Talk About Leprechauns

Tourists traveling to the Emerald Isle often find it amusing to ask the locals about leprechauns, as if these legendary little folk were real and commonplace. However, Irish citizens find it more tiresome than funny. So next time you’re traveling to Ireland, don’t crack any jokes about leprechauns, pots of gold or rainbows with the locals.


Bono is the lead singer of U2.

rizlared: So sad, a truly wonderful musician, I adored this band, as did my mother, although she appreciated their musical talent rather than the music, and even bought me the original version of "Pictures at an Exhibition" so I could understand how they had interpreted it.

Yet another of my heros gone, makes me feel old

RIP Keith


I've seen Keith Emerson many times in the days of The Nice, quite an amazing electric keyboard player...pretty accomplished pianist also, as is displayed in their cover of Tim Hardins, Hang on to a Dream.

Sad loss...sad flower

France was the first country to possessively respond and disused the issues with Putin.
I believe 38 Australians were murdered by the activities of the West Ukraine Government who had redirected flight MH17 out of a safe air corridor onto a course 300km inside the war zone and directed it straight towards a missile system by there own admission they had known was where it was for three days.
Putin understood Catholics and Russian Orthodox Church had been fighting an ongoing war for thirteen hundred years...
My mindfully observed take on those events, which pretty sure we disused while ago.. wave

Hiya Galrads


Hey 2intrigued... wave I wish I could afford to do that. I've been good, as usual, so I was hoping someone there might volunteer a room for me. please

The last time I saw a Eurovision song contest was in 2005 in Kiev. Second thoughts, I'm probably too old now for that kind of crowd. blues

I see, so it's a room you want and not so much about if somebody is going there. giggle

You're never too old for those things...just go for it and to hell with what the crowd thinks. conversing hug
