'mermaid isle'

It's been for sale for ages and I have my eye on it for when my lotto comes through.

Bit of a family dispute going on at the moment,as some of the family want to open it up for holiday vacations,local legend has it(I live 2km away) that the rolling stones used to party it up on the island and Mick Jagger was running around naked after the wallabies,I always thought it was bullsh!t until I read that the baring family owned a record label that put out the first stones EP

I think that story actually relates to St Patrick's Island just off Skerries there's an article about it on the comeheretome blog I can't link it,but if you visit the blog and search hippies the article will come up

The golf course is not too shabby either:

All islands are full of boggers. While boggers, like sheep, might be able to tell other boggers apart, I cant.

At least our sheep have an higher IQ then you

Tory Island has it's own king. King Patsy Dan, if a name like that doesn't separate him from the sh1t munchers, I don't know what does.

That's all well and good,but just because a woman may be as thick as pea soup it doesn't necessarily mean she's a bad ride.

Whats the story with the lodges, are they for sale or rent? I don't live too far from the island, always fancied having a home there. All ya'd need is a boat :0)

Running around naked, on an island owned by the Baring family?

That sounds appropriate...

BER rating of G, I wonder why

Was looking down on it a couple of weeks ago on a run from Glengarriff to the top of the Healy Pass over the Sugarloaf, Nareera, Knockeirky, Cushnaficulla and Knockowen. It's pretty wild up there, you're really in the heart of Beara.

Suspect they ain't giving away houses on the cheap around Rerrin on Bere Island.

The place was filthy when I was there a few years ago. Litter everywhere, cars dumped....basically no civic pride for what should be a beautiful place.

Ah yes,a stroll through the leafy avenues of the Lee Estate of a crisp autumn evening is hard to beat. It's a magnet for the horsey set.

Stroll into 'The Swamp' to listen to the toffs talking about rugby.

Now all I can think of is Britt ekland in wicker man.Sweet mother of God... No silicone or saline jobs back in 1973.

In case you didn't know It wasn't actually her arse in the film.They used a stripper from Glasgow for that part.

Seems odd she had no problem getting her tits out but didn't want her bare arse to appear on film.

It worked for me,regardless of the owner of said arse,even in her opening scene in the local pub when she was fully clothed she was still a sight to behold.

Quite a "common" issue among actresses and models. Boobs out? No problemo, but the arse? Much bigger deal.

Go to Clare Island and it's got all these rust bucket cars tooting along. Apparently they don't need NCT there. It might have changed since though.

Nothing has changed!

Of course they should have an nct, but there is no law enforcement unless they come on the ferry so it's a bit of a free for all. Great place.

As long as the cars are permanently based on the island they don't need an NCT.

It is a great place though alright

Poshest Irish island?
