    Nothing. I drove all night from Donegal to Killarney once, ate a sausage roll and drove home

    Don't know any Kilarney. Is it Killarney you mean? Would you say that the deficit in your knowledge about such a location is recognisable in itself? That the actual whole pieces of what you don't know are so obvious that, in fact, you could never know?

    It's a nice town on the edge of the most beautiful scenery in western Europe with good restaurants nice pubs and some of the best hotels in Ireland.

    But I haven't a clue what's so good about it...

    Go out of the town and it's stunning. The town itself though is a dump designed to appeal to American tourists. I don't know how the locals can live there.

    Did you smear your dirty sausage all over the cream upholstery then?

    I go there about 3-4 times a year, and I'd say that the majority of tourists now are European. Hank & Marge from Milwaukee, strolling around town in their Aran sweaters and green trousers so bright that they can be seen from outer space, have been replaced by all the hordes on cheap Ryanair flights.

    By any chance, are you from Killarney?

    All the counties on the west coast are fantastic. Ireland be great if we could just rid of everything east of them.

    They say that the lakes of Killarney are fair.

    No stream like the Liffey could ever compare.

    Probably best. I was thinking of sinking them but we'd end up the new west brits like wexford is, and look at them :confused:
