I have a cousin who lives in Rathfarnham - I could ask him, if you like.

By the way, it was raining in Dun Laoghaire last Tuesday - did anyone get wet?

We bought a little petrol generator years ago, makes life nice when the power goes South.

No they wouldn't. They might say so cold it's freeze the balls of a brass monkey, because that's actually a figure of speech. A brass monkey doesn't have skin

JackKelly · 14-01-2005 7:28pm
