yes lots of grenn hills ( we get a lot of rain ) yes lots of bars we do like our beer, but we believe in working hard for that beer.


You will find little shops and cobblestones, but only to suit the tuourists

May the road rise to meet you
may the wind be always at your back

and until we meet again may
God hold you in the
palm of his hand.






Night night folks

take care

Lot's of green, part of my family is Irish, so I would scope out departure spots. I would try to avoid Dublin because I don't give a damn who's Protestant, or Catholic. My Quaker ancestors were kicked out of the UK, taxed double for many reasons and the Quakers accused some of my women of witchcraft for having money, speaking foreign languages and having sense.

I've got no use for religion, or religious fights. Ireland is lovely, I'm sure. I won't be visiting, any time soon.

It's on my list with Iraq, Iran, the Islamic world and other places I might not be welcomed. Sorry, I know the IRA has tamed over the years, but I'm in my 40's.
