Ha!

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm either incredibly brave OR stupid right ?  To be honest though I've been here 11years and never had any trouble about me being a Brit :)  my other halfs family are Irish so I have an Irish last name , I think that helps ...maybe  O:-)

Omg....LMHO  :2funny:

Can't believe you found this story !! Lol , but it's completely true , I've stayed in Donegal on holiday and it's quite possibly the friendliest county in Ireland , and Ireland is friendly !!

And I love that Irish phrase "your man" , it covers a multitude of awkward moments when you don't remember someone's name  :D

And we tried to give our postcode today to a company to deliver something to us , and they said ...err, the postcode system isn't even operational yet , knowing Ireland it probably never will be , lol , and they've already messed up postcodes for Galway  :uglystupid2: this is not a promising start  ;D

Something makes me think that the Scottish have phrase usage of a similar kind. JD correct me if I'm wrong.

I live not to far from Galway , and I go there quite a bit . If they live anywhere near Connemara then it's breathtaking scenery I bet in there pics   :smitten: I'm just interested , what made them move to Ireland ?

I sincerely hope they get there post and it doesn't end up with "your man in Donegal !! " 

Staggering - I wouldn't be surprised if the two countries share similar phrases , they are both Gaelic speaking languages , and the scots came from an Irish tribe way back in ancient history  . You probably already knew that though  O0

Cork is two counties away from me , if I had to drive there it would take me about two hours to get to the city centre :)

Have you ever researched where in cork your family are from ?  It can get confusing doing Irish family research because there are loads of town lands in each county , and a town land doesn't nessasarily mean there's even a village , it can be just a lot of farming land spread out over acres with farmhouses dotted around . My husbands side of the family come from county Sligo , and it took a lot of patience for me to research his family tree , but I managed to eventually find the house that his relatives lived in . One of the neighbours invited us in , and he turned out to be the godson of one of my husbands great uncles !!  It was really fascinating , but I really enjoy genealogy and digging around in the past  :smitten:

My aunt and uncle have been over there and met a whole branch of the family that is still there. They are still farmers and have been on the same land for 100s of years. If you ever go to Cork yell out 'hey O'Reilly' and one of the 10000 people who turn to you is bound to be related to my aunt :)
