They were celebrating their annual Burgfest (Castlefestival) as I was there, and it was all very enjoyable. There was re-enacted jousting and sword fencing; live music in the town square all weekend; the mayor and other dignataries were all in period costume, and healthy, happy children played all around the square while the village idiot was drunk and kept falling over while dancing. You could enjoy delicious roasted meats and chickens roasted over spits in many of the stalls there and enjoy locally produced beers and spirits-all at very reasonable prices (a beer was 1.50). It was all about celebrating local culture and tradition; it wasn't about making a quick few bob. Everyone enjoyed themselves; everyone enjoyed being part of a celebration of a real, local, organic culture. Besides myself, there wasn't a foreigner to be seen-brilliant!

In the mean time maybe if I ask Frank nicely he'll let me start a thread to research what it is we want/expect from our public reps!

(The upright people's party of Ireland) Joe thinks that FF can sort out the immigration thgingy which is pretty absurd. Know MacDowell is gone we're all fucked. May aswell migrate to Cape clear. P.S you dont need many qualifiactions to pour a bad Pint of Murphy's. Just a smile... and even that's hard to get from a P__e sometimes. Dave, Dont steal any of your ideas from T.U.P.P.I.

I think we differ a bit in our opinions but we have common ground too. I look forward to charting your progress! Expect loads of grillings from me on how the hell you get started (not that I want to just curiosity!) Dave, sounds good. I think we differ a bit in our opinions but we have common ground too.
