I have decided I am going to emigrate to soc.culture.scottish on March 18.
We can have an old fashioned ‘Emigration Wake’ with a culchie fiddler with
the arse out of his trousers at the dockside and all the SCI women wearing
black shawls and blessing themselves. Then I can arrive at SCS holding a
pickled herring to make my fortune. Yeah that’s it, I’ve made my mind up

SCS. I’ve got an Uncle Conway over there and he said he is gong to put me
up for a few weeks until I get myself sorted and up on my feet. Another Irishman

"Well Holly it was there that Dublin all started, not in the year 988
as the 1988 Millennium celebrations might suggest, but more than a
century earlier. Norwegian Vikings settled on the banks of the Liffey
in 841; their battles with their Danish counterparts came to an end 11
years later with the arrival of Olaf, who united the two sides and
founded the Norse Kingdom of Dublin. The early dwellings were in the
neighbourhood of Christ Church Cathedral on the heights above the
Liffey where the Black Pool (Dubhlinn) at the confluence of the Liffey
and the Poddle rivers was large enough to take their ships. The area
of settlement then crept westward, making a main thoroughfare of what
is now High Street.
The medieval city of Dublin grew and the names of its streets still
have a ring of their time about them. They are named for the saints to
whom the people of the Middle Ages were devoted: Michael's Hill,
Nicholas Street, Patrick Street, Francis Street, John's Lane, James's
Street, Werburgh Street, Bride Street, Thomas Street. All of these
still run along, or connect with, the spine of old Dublin, which goes
from cast to west from Christ Church and the Castle in the direction
of Kilmainham, where once there stood the vast priory lands of the
Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. It was in the streets here on the
ridge above the Liffey that the Vikings and the Gaels of Ireland
intermixed to become the Hiberno-Norse. Here, too, that Dublin,
because of clerical rivalry, in the 12th century became the only town
in Christendom to have two great cathedral churches. Here, too, the
Black Death raged in 1347. The old town has seen kingdoms and
republics proclaimed. King James had his capital here before the
battle of the Boyne and King William afterwards. round the streets
near Burdocks walked Jonathan Swift, the Dean of St. Patrick's, and
George Frederick Handel. Here the United Irishmen plotted insurrection
in 1798, that year in which the Irish prophecy read that there would
be "a mild winter, a wet spring, a bloody summer ... and No King". The
1798 rising was fiercely put down and five years later outside St.
Catherine's Church, at the western end of Thomas Street, Robert Emmet,
"The Darling of Erin", was executed for his leadership of an ill-fated
and ill-planned insurrection. As time passed, Old Dublin gradually
lost its importance and the city centre moved eastwards; when the
Irish Free State was founded in the 1920s, the centre of government
moved out of Dublin Castle."

I know your Uncle Conway and I think you would be well advised to take out

Regrettably, this part is indeed true !
Uncle Conway went curling on a frozen Crick with his wife's best
cast-iron skillet. Due to a minor collapse of the surface, the skillet
is now *in* the Crick and cannot be retreived until the Spring thaw.
Uncle Conway is now *deep* in the smelly brown stuff and I don't
mean the mud at the bottom of the Crick. I understand that solace has
been sought at the bottom of a jar of Caine's Elixir.

You're right granda, looking back at the last few days posts Holly has been
quite funny and about the only thing I read here that's wasn't some stupid
shite about the abortion carry-on. SCI is bollixed. Some people like it insular,
boring and pedantic so I'm sure they are loving SCI right now. This place
is rubbish without me and the two Bren's and Fr Des. I have no problem saying
this and eh, Duck is ok as well (I have visions of him being that famous
17th century mechaical shitting duck that Voltaire once remarked that it
summed-up French culture) but most of the rest of you contribute almost nothing
to this newsgroup especially the Yanks housewives/lesbians who are just a

Thank you, Helen. I'm as proud as a peacock. And, it's nice to
hear from you
again and I hope you and yours have been keeping well.

Thank you very kindly, John. The bairn is only 8 weeks old and
yesterday she
when she came through the door, she smiled when she saw me and
raised an
eyebrow. She knows me. She really knows me!
Well I started off by bouncing her on my knee as the travel show
of Scotland was
on the television. The story of Bonnie Prince Charlie was being
told and the bagpipes
were playing. Then, I propped her on a pillow and proceeded to
have a
chat and show her family pictures. She sat up and fell over. I
propped her back up
and she proceeded to do it again and again. She kept me in
stitches for half an hour,
I suppose because she was stuck there and couldn't get back up on
her own. She
landed on her head and was looking around as if to say, what do I
do now? My son
didn't think it so funny and was concerned about her. New
parents! Now, I'll try to
refrain from keeping everyone abreast of her daily activities,
but it won't be easy. :)

Thanks, Conway. She likes me best, I can tell. :)
