I'd like to inform all that among the items contained on the probe that landed on Mars yesterday was a disc containing a copy of Gulliver's Travels. This is the furthest voyage that Gulliver has undertaken, and no doubt a narrative will ensue in due course.

It means that Gulliver's adventures will be available to discerning extra-terrestrials for the next several millenia (assuming they can read 17th-century English, of course).

Wonderful! I hope that you have a wonderful time! (I'm currently in Dingle, but leaving for Galway today -- sorry to have missed you and all in Dub.)

Are you aware, Rapaire, that Shane has been preening himself in your absence from this forum. He claims that his threats to do you bodily violence have driven you clean out of North America. He says he has "scairt you off". The lad is in his glory about it, telling everyone who is willing to listen.

Gulliver was in Dublin last time I heard.

I know that some people consider chocolate bars drugs but I always thought that Don would prefer Guiness...

Have I got something wrong here?

I'm not sure about the distance claim.
It's possible that Gulliver travelled quite further than it is to Mars in his original voyages. But then again, I'm just another Yahoo like the rest of us. Wish I weren't.

Hi, Ernest. My favourite drink--the Wine of the Country remains the same. Hope to enjoy one with you on some occasion.
