@bagpie looking at your profile, my wife remembers Bobby Watson doing the Highland Fling whilst accompanying himself on the Highland pipes while in his 80s to amuse the students at the St Andrews RSCDS summer school!
@bagpie @r_mccormack Dinty's at Union Hall (between Skibbereen and Rosscarbery) served the best fish I've ever eaten. But it's only 100m or so from the trawler fleet. 🙂
@bagpie @r_mccormack Westport is one little town that I've always thought I'd like to live in but never quite managed it.
@bagpie @r_mccormack wow! Ate a few like that in Donegal in September.
@r_mccormack @bagpie ooh yes!!
@peterwhisker @bagpie did you just have my lunch?
@r_mccormack We were in Donegal in September. But similar memories of Mayo and West Cork. A meal in a bowl!

@johnmee @dup_online@mastodon.ie I agree. I found it very weird. It's no wonder they cleared the islands in the '70s while they had any fingers left....
@r_mccormack take a trip to the "Wild Atlantic Way" (which you probably have with #cork) of the west of Ireland and almost every pub you come across will do #chowder at lunchtime with Irish wholemeal soda bread and butter and often with chunks of fish you nearly need a knife and fork for. Sublime.
@SadhbhOS I guess you must get an extra buailte/h when addressed in Irish? "A Shadhbh". That gives me a headache 😱
@SadhbhOS I went on Saturday. A bit of a strange film. It's no wonder they cleared the island populations in the 70's before they all killed each other! 😱
@SadhbhOS I have a friend who used to get monthly migraines at a certain time in her cycle.
@SadhbhOS Love your name. "Sweet and good". Although you must suffer like the Tadhg's of this world when non-Irish try to pronounce it 😉
@kityates The Tories actually want the NHS to die. Ever since it was started by Labour in 1948. But thr thick-as-mince keep voting Tory so it will continue to die and the Tories rich mates will simply get richer..
@klillington You can't beat Chocolate Kimberley though for lushness...
