I recommend a visit to The Arch Bar on Upper William St, which probably still has the big mural of the Armalite on its front wall. They'll serve you a grand soft pint, though.

Also you should pop out and visit my cousin Mikey.

Here is his full postal address:

Mikey Charliecousin

Enjoy.

Looks like it fell down mate. You're better off without it.

On your way out to Pallasgreen you can stop at Pa McGrath's at Boher for a couple of aul' pints. They probably still have Irish night a couple of nights a week too.

Anyway, everyone nose that castles are there to oppress the peasants.

And some more. It wasn't a real castle, though. That's a few miles down the road at Adare.

We used to go to the 'medieval feats' at Bunratty when I was a kid. Exciting times. I remember a young lady who sang in the entertainments who made me have a funny feeling in my tummy.

Back in 5.

Meanwhile, I've determined that if anyone called Hanley introduces themselves to me while I'm in Limerick, I shall run a mile. They seem a bad lot. :-(

Oh dear, drawn, quartered and beheaded. Sounds like a rum business, the imperialist *******s! :-(

There's a Cromwell House and an Ireton house in Highgate with no real connection to either of them, other than Henry's brother John owned Lauderdale House over the road for a while.

Thing is, they seem to have been particularly vindictive towards poor old Dominic. :-(

I should at least be able to demand reparations.
