Felipa,

I'm not sure why I spelled it that way in the header. I normally spell the word with a CK myself, but then again if the Garda Drug Squad are monitoring this site, I wouldn't want them to be swooping down on west Clare due to a misunderstanding. The reason I used the word at all is probably because of this God-awful song (recorded by Brendan Shine, I think):

"I'm off to Lisdoonvarna at the end of the year
And I'm going for the crack (ya-hoo), the whiskey and the beer,
I'm very frisky, for a man of fifty,
Catch me if you can, my name is Dan, sure I'm you're man"
