About the same time Robbie was mailing his tape to me, a friend of mine was meeting him in Ireland. Thanks, Mrtin.

I bought a house just outside Kenmare about 8 years ago. I was burning some of the rubbish from inside on a bonfire and thought the wood was spitting a bit lively. The following day in the ashes I found the remnants of two clips of 303's. Several days later I found an Oxo tin with several hundred more rounds. I donated the whole lot to the local guards and later had a letter from the authorities in Dublin asking permission to blow them up.

Now ain't that a kick? Really good song though. If it was me who had found the stuff, the song would have needed a line about changing pants!!!

Thanks Martin.

Cool song. I'm glad no one was hurt. I'd like to hear Michael sing that song about Robbie and his find.

It's amazing what you find in the thatch in the old cottages. When my father was sorting out the one up in the Galtees that he moved into a few years back, there were some old mortars and a service revolver.

Sooner or later the decommissioning takes place.
