I suppose as President he is from ALL of Ireland.
Its amazing how someone can spend hours each day on the papers and TV for about a month and then pretty much disappear when elected.

Cheers hitch. It's how I roll you know!! No he's no from Galway, he was born in Limerick, lived there for a few years and then moved to Clare where spent most of his early years before moving to Galway to college.

Was over your direction for work a couple of weeks back. Spent a bit of time catching up with the folks in Queens and the Bronx. Love it there.

Didn't make it up as far as Yonkers unfortunately. Clarks and Devines used to be the old haunts after a matchday, not even sure if they are both still open? Rorys was good for the bit of grub though. is John Madden still knocking about up there? He had a sports shop there when I was knockin about.
Galway are really coming in under the radar for next week and I fancy them to do the business. Here's hoping the nephew is on it. Was there 2 of them on it originally?

My daddy had about 20 novels published; the first at 22.
Which means I've gotta lot of catching up to do!
(and he had a big head-start on me)
And at least one of them was banned in Ireland: I bet Michael D can't bate that!

Oh there you go again, more self indulgent s**te.
I'd say he had a big head alright, like father like son eh! I doubt very much Daddys books were banned. Its most likely that they were just s**te, because like I said, like father like son.
