Well, hello there!

Waterford is a very nice place to live and so is Dunmore East and Passage East.

Rhodes your Geography is not good at all so here is something to help you.

Manics - You seem very knowledgeable about the Emerald Isle all of a sudden, how come as I thought you were from the North East of England. I am well travelled but have never been to Ireland, it doesn't really appeal to me as I heard that Eire is horrenously expensive and a pint of the black stuff is about £3.50.

Been married to a Jackeen may have something to do with it, works out about the same in sterling.

My Grandmother was born in Ballybriggan County Waterford aswell get yourself over there, lovely country.

Ireland is a beautiful country. I was fortunate enough to be on the RMFC post season tour to Fermoy in 1997, while this year I went over to Dublin to watch Middlesex play cricket against Ireland at the picturesque Clontarf Cricket Ground. I haven't got to Waterford yet but I'd love to see more of this stunning country. Oh also been to Belfast to see Polska play football, now that is a vibrant city.

 

Welcome back bushalump by the way.

I love Ireland. Been to Belfast (twice), Dublin, Cobh and Wexford. Was hoping to go to Waterford but it seems i'm too late now

[Rhodes]

Lato - Was this the match you went to, you kept that quiet at the time:

My Northern Irish ancestry means I have been drinking on the Bogside on a Saturday night. In the 80's this meant a real all action night out! I learned the words to some very interesting songs amongst other things!

[Spidermanor]

Don't let your prejudices stop you from from visiting Ireland rhodesy as its a lovely place, been to Dublin, Cork, Waterford (got family there as well) and Galway over the years.

[Wader]

Quite right. Cecil, get yourself down to Rossville St Derry. The murals are incredible.

[Sharming Paula]

This has turned into a discover Ireland thread!!! You've all frightened Bushi (can I call you that please) off!

[manics]

Rhodes are you sure you haven't been to Ireland and visited a certain stone?
