Snail "So you pick on the one where I agree with you? " More than a little snide I thought - have come to expect more of you; ah well! I answered what I was able to of your points minutes before we left - that's all I had time for. Will comment on the crass idea that all you need is the will to perform when we've unpacked and had a nights sleep.
And to our resident career critic who spends most of his time correcting spelling and replacing missing punctuation (of others, of course) - "Knockcroghery does not mean 'hill of the hangman'!" 'Irish Names of Places P W Joyce' 1902 Knockcroghery, the hangman's hill, is a village in Roscommon, where there is a station on the Midland Railway; and there are places of the same name in Cork and Mayo. 'The Anglicisised Words of Irish Placenames Tom Burnell' 2006. Knock - Hill, Croghery - The hangman Of course, they could both be wrong, as could the residents of the area we have spent an extremely enjoyable three days visiting - what do the Irish know about Ireland anyway!!!
