I thought so for quite a while, until I read "my husband" in one of your posts. But I don't know why I thought so.

And now back on-topic!

You lost me totally, how did we get onto the pornography subject? I was talking about dublin, U2, Bono and edge's clarence hotel, and what he does around the world for poverty.

I think it's time you go back to bed, may be your husband was righ, that you do live in your own little cocoon

Makes perfect sense....you asked "if I was coming on to you" (kiddingly)....over the internet.......it was in Dublin that I went to the cyper cafe and say the blatant "p"....so everything is connected...in its own little way.....or maybe i've spent too much time looking at the organisms in tidal pools?

I have run off a copy of the hotel info - planning to go back to Ireland in the Spring on a celtic music tour and we hit dublin - had a great time there - wish the weather had been better though!!!! Was really wonderful walking long the quay at night with all the lights on...and guess what ...they even had a pizza named for Canadian....I loved all the closed little areas for traffic and the statue of Molly Malone.

You paint a lovely picture there of ireland, love it down there, and scotland of course.

yes, Scotland, was really wonderful as well - once you got out of the big cities - we couldn't wait till we left Glasgow and we only stayed 2 days.

Further north in the country was truly outstanding - and the people incredibly friendly - hard to understand at times...but very friendly

You hardheaded stubborn canadians! Never give up, eh?

I've been to Ireland too. Beautiful country. And very friendly people too. I think I will visit it again, some day......

It's only seven hours from canada, and you can get cheap flights, but you might want to leave it till you've got your canadian citizenship Like you said, one day, or two

Toontje

Any reason why?

Just a thought, less hassle coming back in and all that.

Whats wrong with Edinburgh


My distant scotish roots showing again!

Yes Toonjie, Scotish only when it suits me and a couple of generations removed from the "aud country" at that. Except for one brother in Fife.

Speaking about the scottish dialect/accent, I recently read a book by Terry Pratchett, called "The wee-free men". They're a bunch of very little men, 3 inches high, and they speak a language that I presumed was scottish. Wonderfull book!

How original ! wee wee men, that just happen to be little

Well, i think it has far more to do with being Irish/Polish heritage than actually being stubborn. My mom is 80, came from Ireland and is still as stubborn as the day is long. But she tells me I get it from my dad (polish)....

I've been to Ireland too. Beautiful country. And very friendly people too. I think I will visit it again, some day.....
