Don't be expecting a positive reply, I hear they don't have the internet yet.

I'd hope do they, sure don't they have the old dial up in Offaly now? Always been at the cutting edge of technology though!

Post needs a more popular culture feel to it for AH I reckon. I would have phrased it "Does anyone here wear an 'I Shot J.R.' T-Shirt by any chance?"

Ah they're still on the first steps of any civilization. Food and shelter. Expect internet in maybe 1000 years.

I'm planning an invasion and want to see what kind of resistance my men will face.

Lol...I'll leave this open for a while so!

Go forth, be brave, and give false names and numbers!

Might have more luck with the Galway forum though.

Thank you, your kindness shall be rewarded with the naming of a stone fort of your choice after you.

Your men will face no resistance. It's the very reason it's never been invaded, it would never be worth the effort.

The Dublin forum Aran Islands forum is that way >>>>>>??<<<<<<<???

Don't know about the Aran Islands but Clare Island has broadband now. It has better internet than most of the mainland areas near.

Actually, they have WiMAX on the Aran Islands. So by Irish terms, they're actually ahead of us! (LOS WiMAX used to communicate with the mainland, not sure how it's spread among the island)

The only difficulty you'd have is trying to get onto the island, you'd be sliding down it.

Aranmore and Aran Island(s) are different islands in different parts of the country.

And a mobile single? Why, was your phone always engaged when you were on Aranmore? :pac:

The guy needs help with plundering, pillaging and wooing of comely lasses of virtue true on the Aran Isles, this is no time for fighting o'er Carlow.

Exactly and I could use a few savages from the Midlands with their massive potato shovelling hands, ability to cross all kinds of terrain and a distinct lack of morality!

To the coast men (and women if they want to join)!
