Whaaaaaaat? Crossey not Irish? Have you had the treatment, ya boya? Ha' ye torned or what? I mean, I know you've been the wrong side of the ditch for a quare few years now. But I didn't think you woulda disowned the black rose? Or is thon lachako mixin' you up with some awr pochal?

Give us a shout next time you're back in the Montiaghs, by the way ... you slipped in an' out damn quick last time. I on'y heard you were round the place at all cos Marty Molloy tol' us he'd seen you in 'Trasna. (And would you tell yer man from Freecrow to quit sturrin'!)
