I find the statement "Cromwell's depth of feeling" lacking, isn't it "thirst for blood". "I hate this &%$#@ country, not a tree to hang one (Irishman) from nor a drop of water to drown one in nor a enough earth to bury one in". Said something to that effect (about the Burren), I believe, while taking one of his, quite, pleasant, casual head hunting, blood curdling, mid morning, strolls. Barry
