BTW-my daugther is 10 & over the 4th learned how to water ski! What a rush of pride for dear auld mum! She got up on her first try & all you could see was teeth! Aren't they (children) grand! (now you know where the "93" comes from)

A guy here at work thought he could stump me when he asked me if I knew what the Irish language was called. When I told him Gaeilge, he looked at me like I had two heads. Then he told me I was wrong and that it was called Erse. He learned it doing crossword puzzles.
