  4. We did indeed. Lots of my friends are Mayo - as we remember every September. Never known a run of luck like theirs!

    Been to Cork and Cobh Island, Waterford City and Waterford Crystal factory (before it ceased to be), Dublin's my 2nd home, and I sometimes go up to Scotland to watch a Celtic game with the local supporters club if theres a spare ticket and we're playing away.
    So it's all good.

    The crystal factory is still there isn’t it?

    Cork, Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny are my favourite haunts over there. Love the place. Dublin is bonkers.

    I love the Irish accent but can’t abide the Norn Iron variant....it sounds like nails over a chalkboard to me, yuk.

    Sorry mate <laugh>
