Well while we are waiting for Pogmahone to join in, I can tell you that I have Paddies in my bloodstream, along with some Jamesons. Seriously both my sons wnet to the old country, have grand children there and I am hoping to join them in the not too distant future. I too have some scots blood, and a welsh surname by marriage, but always felt more Irish than English. Born London, brought up in Kent. Slainte!

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
