Cahulin,



Do you happen to remember which county in Ireland that pirate station was
in?



I have been to Ireland many times, mostly to Galway and to Cork. I love it
over there.

Those guys are more like us than most of us are. Let me rephrase that:

They are almost as American as we are.



By that I mean that when they" work", they work their F'n asses off. And
when they "don't work": they "don't work" their F'n asses off. I can tell
you stories of a city crew taking 10 days to install 25 feet of sidewalk
because it had to be "spot on". I can also tell of engineering tasks that
would take 10 days in the states being done in 2 days over there. Of
course, balancing everything, I can give examples of 3 day tasks taking 3
months, so let's not go overboard here.



I love that place. The food is great. The beer is: well ****. its Irish
beer! It's like German beer. Only it's better, because it is in English!



And the woman: OMG.. I've been married 22 years to my best friend who is
a red headed, blue eyed, California girl. BUT ****. Those black haired,
and red headed, and green eyed girls over there make me wish I was 20 again!



Their sports are strange though. They have this game called Hurling, which
oddly enough has nothing to do with drinking. And they have football, which
is really soccer, but it is called Irish football, and it is different from
Australian or Continental Football, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with
American football. Except that they have riots, and free-for-all's , after
a big game just like everyone else. They now get American sports on
satellite (Sky-TV) so they are starting to watch Americana football and they
beginning to like it. That's ok, except they are beginning to like American
beer as well.



Oh, they are all living on this little island which is 1/3rd the size of
California and which has 4 million people, as opposed to 25 million in Ca.
They tell me that there are 4 million Irish people in Ireland and 25 million
"Irish" people in the USA, mostly in Boston. They have this strange sort
of arithmetic over there.



So: what about the Irish pirate station? Are they still around?
