Hi,

For those of you interested in Irish folklore there was indeed a link to a lovely site...

Irish Folklore

I was working in an old hospital in Belfst one night when I got a phone call, from the nurse in the next ward along the corridor..... she wanted me to check on my patients because she said she had heard a banshee singing and crying, and so far all of her patients were still alive..... so I checked and mine were OK too. Sure enough though, one of her old ladies was dead by the morning.

(Remember.. it's OK to hear a banshee, she's probably crying for someone you know or are related too..... but if you see her..... she's there for you!!!!)

I love "Jack the Giant Killer"...... remember being terrified of it as a child. Must get the video out and have another look... thanks for reminding me.
