Joe, you rascal. While it is true that I am American, born and bread, I was raised in Parnell, Michigan, around more people that spoke with a brogue than those that didn't. If my brogue is imitation, it's because it is what I was raised with.

Alison, not only do I cook (I can make pratai taste like lobster), I wash windows, fight like a maniac, change diapers, sing like one of His own choir, wash, dry and fold the laundry, and tip a jar of Uncle Arthur's with the best of them. Then after lunch........:-)>

Graeme, Here are the lyrics to "Steal Away". The song was written by Phil Coulter about a dream that he had as a child stealing away in the middle of the night. (source: The Furey Bros. & Davey Arthur Songbook)

CHORUS:
Steal away, Let's steal away, no reason left to stay.
For me and you, let's start anew, and darling steal away.

Let's steal away and chase our dreams
And hope they'll never find us.
The dreamy days, the empty nights,
We'll leave them all behind us.

CHORUS

We'll leave behind the city streets
The gloom and desolation
The rain, the cold, just growing old
God knows it's a hard old station.

CHORUS

We'll leave behind our memories
and make a new beginning
We have to choose to win or lose
And it's time we started winning.

CHORUS
