Heh, heh!

That's funny!.. couldn't put it down, huh? (the trashy novel) Sometime I'd like to ask you a little about southern Ireland; the county of Cork, in particular, when you have time.

That's where my paternal grandparents hail from. I believe my grandfather farmed rocks, or something...

BTW, did you see the movie, "Waking Ned Divine"? I liked it, even though it portrayed the folks in that town as quite coniving.

An observation; Irish seem like the most political folks in the world to me. I think that's where I get my politickin'.
My mother, a good Norwegian, doesn't give a hoot about politics. Just like my Swedish sweetie. Couldn't care less.

But look at all the politicians that are Irish; I would like to forget about the Kennedy clan, but it's hard to over-look them. And how about Bill O'Reilly? He drives me nuts sometimes, because he cuts people off, etc. But that's the way my dad argues politics too. Is it an Irish tendancy to be political? I'm truly curious.

Yeah we are a bit political I guess. Or rather, spirited. We get all het up about something, and seeing as it's illegal to give someone a good upper-cut, we have found the easiest method of getting your point across is going into politics and screwing the nation! *L* BTW we 'cut people off' because, we KNOW we are right. No point in pussy-footing around and pretending we are interested *LOL* ;-)

What do you want to know about Cork, btw?
Last time I was there was when my brother was studying for his accountancy degree and I popped by for a visit! But it's a great wee spot, and one of the finer cities to visit in Ireland.

And YES! I have seen Waking Ned Devine (a film with TRULY atrocious Irish accents), and YES we are ALL that conniving! *LOL*
