    I see one of the boardsies has written another book to follow on from the Shay Elliott story. I thought Elliott was great and am looking forward to getting this one...



    (Ps Beasty gansai is Irish for Jersey!)

    Had a similar experience, I lucked a preprepared answer about an ill-fated cycle to Wicklow for the oral. Had learned the Irish for concussion, convulsion and reverse camber turn . The first question was do you have any hobbies, the second was have you ever fallen of your bike. After my monologue I was asked if I had spent much time in the Gaeltacht, I knew Nil was wrong but did know how to say no so I just stared back for the last 10 seconds. Given the my earlier fluency I presume the examiner thought I was having another convulsion.:eek:

    Is "the Shay Elliott story" any good?

    It's not yellow!!!! It's the curse of the RAINBOW jersey!!!

    So: "Mallacht gheansaí an bhogha báistí" should be pretty close....

    ... awaits the senior pedantic Paddies.


    Looking forward to reading it. It's out now for Kindles. Hard copies imminent I believe

    Yeah, it's a very well researched chronology of his life. Perhaps too much so if you are more interested in a bit of light background reading of that cycling era, but I liked it.

    Have the new one now too, next up on my to read list.
