Thanks MPC; Jan; and, Volker,
To:MPC
I fly fish on the Nore river at Ballyragget in Kilkenny - smartest trout in the country! I often thought that Kilkenny is a somewhat neglected county in Ireland - I remember spending an hour watching large trout rising under the bridge beside the castle in Kilkenny City - I don't know that Inn but I will definitely investigate it and thanks for the tip!
To: everyone else!
I am not sure whether this is allowed on the forum , but, I was just thinking whether anybody on the forum living near or otherwise would be up for a dinner night out in Hamburg? - it is just myself and my old man - I am a U Boat fanatic and my Dad has a sincere biographical interest in the career of Hasso von Manteuffel, and he is extremely sociable, and it won't be a boring night either - we are Irish after all - I have never been to Germany before and I don't know anybody there - Jan (and Volker!) on the forum kindly sent me a host of delicious looking restaurants so if I picked out one maybe on 23rd March - would anyone care to join us in a bit of "craic"" (Gaelic word for good night out!) ?! And then, after, we might, perhaps, be solemnly obliged to go to the Finnegan's Wake Pub....???!!
Anyway I'd better go out and do my duty now and drown this shamrock! and I'll post tomorrow with a choice, if I'm able for it!!!
Regards,
jd
