Just found out that The Blarney Stone, One of Irelands most famous tourist attractions (If not the most famous), Isn't owned by the State/Bord Failte. It's owned by "Sir" Charles Colthurst..
:mad:
Todays NewspaperThe castle, which annually attracts more than 300,000 visitors, came into the Colthurst family by way of their 18th Century ancestor, Sir James Jefferyes, a Scottish-born officer in William of Orange's army, who purchased it from the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.
Quite Disappointed tbh.0 -

Why so?
Would you not give the guy credit for his role in turning a random castle in Cork into a bona fide tourist attraction that Americans love.
There castles up and down the length and breadth of the country that no one ever visits and no one has ever heard of, and a good chunk of these are owned by the State.0 -

I've been watching a lot of criminal minds recently, got some box sets. I couldn't figure out why agent rossi's (the older Italian guy) voice sounded so familiar and made me want to laugh.
Just realised he is the voice of fat Tony in the Simpsons (checked on IMDB to confirm it). I think that's pretty cool

And I always thought it was funny that after 5 years doing french in school I didn't actually know how to shout for help. Because I thought that's the one phrase you'd really need to know.
Then I realised I'd known it all along as do most people. The french verb to help is Aider. And in english we have the same phrase "Mayday"
(btw, If i'm completly off the mark, let me know)0 -
