I think you said something about yourself along time ago but I don't
remember all of it.

Would you say a few words about yourself, the name "cuhulin" you choose
and why, what interest do you have in the "MP's" and please include your
real first name (for some reason I think it was Steve)

TIA,

Burr

According to BBC, the Irish legend of Cuchulain is:
"Brave youngster, fathered by a sky god, chokes dog with ball, changes his
name and single handedly faces invading army in war over prize bull. The
Irish can tell a good yarn can`t they? This rather simplified, and
purposely irreverent summation refers to one of the most famous Celtic
heroes of all time: Cuchulain, the hound of Ulster."
and...
"Tain Bo Cuailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley) is the oldest vernacular tale in
western Europe. It tells the tale of our hero, Cuchulain, fighting off the
armies of Queen Maeve of Connacht, over a prize brown bull. "
