LOL!! I didn't kiss the Blarney Stone either. Didn't want to have to walk up all those steps, and then bend over backwards. Have a bad back. I figured I already had the gift of blarney anyway. The day we went there, I walked around the grounds, and got some nice pictures of the place, and Blarney House.
The day we were at the Cliffs of Moher, it was a little foggy, so visibility wasn't that great.

The once was an Indian taking a selfie,
Who fell from The Cliffs of Insanity,
He stopped with a SPLAT
And that was that!
He must have had bats in his belfry!

I’ve been there. They are so terrifying, I don’t know how anyone can walk close enough to fall. I had to crawl to the edge on my belly and peer over. My legs flatly refused to hold me up.

“can fly in flimsy light planes and it doesn’t bother me. But get me near the edge of a cliff with nothing in front of me and I back away.”
Same here. I’m ok until a few feet away; closer than that I need to be sitting down, or on hands and knees or lying down on stomach peering over edge. Then I like the experience.

There is a well-defined path and the edge is roped off with warning signs everywhere. If you want to step on the other side of that rope, you’re on your own.

I’ve been there. You have to be careful. You could fall off! Best to take a selfie if you are tired of living, but otherwise, just stick to the marked areas.

Never does...It’s that 1000G+ sudden stop of impact that does the trick...

Me, too! It was a beautiful day when we were there, so it was nice to walk around and take pictures (and shop!) Didn’t want to walk up all those steps either!

That most certainly was not there in the seventies. I wonder if anyone has ever sued. How do you sue a cliff?
