Why do you ask xxecxx? Come on, explain yourself! Is there some hidden agenda here, or are you just being nosey? :-)

Quick, otherwise.......only 31 counties to go!

Re: Is anyone here from Galway?

I'm from Glasgow, which has 4 of the same letters as Galway. My brorther lives in Galashiels, which is near enough Galloway.
My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Byrne, which I'm told is a Galway name.
My father in law Mick Cruise is from Glenamaddy, East Galway.
I have a recording of Sharron Shannon, from Galway.
Last night a young box player Joe from Connemara turned up at our session, and he was fantastic.
But most importantly I recently bought my little boy Fergus a f football which was manufactured in Co. Galway.
Oh, and I bought a toilet roll once from Offally. That's near Galway.


Does any of that count?

Call me a brit would you ....................fume, spit, rage .............. I've never been so insulted in all my puff, although many have come close here!

As for that - "armpit UK bit up the top" I'll have you know that in Co's Antrim & Down you can see some of the finest scenery in Ireland Glens of Antrim, & don't forget that pile of famous stones on the north coast too, oh & you might want to visit the Distillery too.

I could start listing all the brilliant Northern musicians too, but I don't think this page is long enough!

Which reminds me - Is anyone here from Antrim?

:-D

P.S. "Mr. T.C." - What, Top Cat makes Banjos? :-)

Re: Is anyone here from Galway?

Is Rip an invite?
You wanna watch out RTC. I don't think there'd be many here who relish the Union Jack flying. I personally hate it. Please be more careful when you make assumptions about so-called British-born people. I for one would appreciate some restraint on your part. If you can imagine the converse, it's thick paddies mindlessly digging the roads. You happy with that stereotype? Of course not. So why should I have to listen to someone droning on about a picture of me being the triumphalist imnperialist proudly standing on top of downtrodden Paddie. Shame on you to perpetuate such a scenario. You disapoint me.

Re: Is anyone here from Galway?

Lighten up I'm just trying to get a rise out of Ptar... for the craic Only someone from the 6 counties would give out like that, it's ok I get it you want to be irish and not british thats ok, but talking about roads again I have worked for murphys and fitzpatricks and tarmacadam myself as a teenager and a majority of the gangers are bi-lingual connemara men I even worked with Seany Mcdonough on the croydon tramlink.

And thats one reason why you should be proud to be from G.B. the roads are way better up that there north.
