Yes, David kelly was a brilliant actor, I have seen him on stage many times, he had a way of bringing characters to life -- whether that be the fool or the gentleman. His appearance in Fawlty Towers is a classic. Am not really into soccer , but…

Andrew --- I agree the French supporters were equally as Peed off as the Irish. I heard a few choice expletives used here in the village mainly against the Fru.

Well at least they got to play -- a lot of Irish people were disgusted --talk about a French Farce, that the Ref did not make the decision to call off the match at the beginning of the week. It is expensive when you count the tickets,…

Mother Christmas

Where are you Mother Christmas, I really wish I knew,

Why Father christmas should get all the praise, and no one mentions you,

I bet you buy the presents, and wrap them large and small,

Roald Dahl.

just stopping by to wish you a great evening ...whatever left of it! ;)

At 8:00am on November 29, 2011, James Kearney said…: Celeste, isn't Ireland's financial problem due principally to over building on speculation which is what happened in the US and Spain? How did opening Ireland to other EU banks cause Ireland's current indebtedness?

At 11:19am on November 28, 2011, James Kearney said…: Celeste, I am an American living in France since 1993. However, my father was irish from Newport, County Mayo. I've never been to Ireland but plan to go some year when this recession abates. Where are you from in Ireland?

In the US there is a comical refrain among Irish-Americans that there are only two types of people in the world "Irish and those who wish they were". LOL
