Subject: RE: BS: New Opera: The Latin in the Irish Bar
Great ! I already feel an expectant stomach looking upwards and saying "Hey ! Something new ??". I´m gathering information about the Irish community which is large indeed, mainly for my own satisfaction, 'cause I know that nobody will judge me, but one feels better with a reasonable knowledge of costumes of the people we are visiting.
No McGrath, we haven´t been hit by the Mad Cow but continue eating and exporting beef as mad, thanks Goodness this is one of the good things that remain in this country. :)
Excellent advice Art, yes, many illustrious Independence heros were Irish descendants. I live in a district of the Capital, called Velez Sarsfield who was a lawyer, author of the main Codes of our laws. Yes, I´ve guessed it's better to avoid any reference to IRA or any conflict. And if nobody talks to me in English, I´ll keep my English well reserved for another opportunity, and speak old good Spanish. At most, I´ll have to say "No entiendo"
