My missus has just told me that her favourite male strip show is coming to Inishmore in a few weks time. Meanwhile she’s going to see them (Chip n’Dale) in The Glen in Tralee on Tuesday Night or in Foynes on Thursday Night.
Passing Limerick last sunday we stopped off in Nancy Blakes for this band. Excellent.
The following is an excerpt from an email received today. Anyone that can answer the question please comment on this post. Thanks.
“Dear Sir or Madame
I was wondering if you had any information on who carved the altar of the Church on Inishmaan. I have been told that my grandfather John Burke who was a stonemason worked on the altar. Perhaps you can advise as to whether any records exist that reflect that information.
Thanks very much for your time and any help you may be able to provide.
Regards
Emily Burke”
Many Happy wishes for the Christmas to all our friends on the Aran Islands and the followers of this blog throughout the world. Look forward to some great improvements in 2009. Green Dragon finished the 3 leg of the Volvo race in 6th.
Our virtual entry Aran Isalands Winner went aground and lost loads of places. Now lying in about 30,000th. Report to come soon on the other Irish entries from Galway and The Aran Islands.
The following is a quote from an email I received today. “It was at the drop off point for walking to Dun Aengus. This shop was across from the eating establishment. It was small and on end of the other building. The woman working in there had T-shirts designed by her son that were very plain (black figures on Cream colored T-shirts) with old Celtic characters.
Thanks for any help with the name.” Can anyone help to Identify the shop or the vendor?

Hope you all liked my Pogues video in my last post. Well the 3rd leg of the Volvo ocean Race is under way and “Aran Isalands Winner” sponsored by Aran Islands Information is lying in about 6000th in the Virtual race. Can’t find any of the other Aran Islands Boats yet but it’s only day 1.
Great news that the missing trawler has been found and is now safely berthed in Rossaveal.
More soon.
and here are the lyrics. enjoy
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
Marty called me on the ould ringer today and confirmed that Dolly is indeed safe with him in the house. He confirmed that he is a bit paranoid in case Dolly is kidnapped or sheepnapped again. He warna all that he has indeed got security cameras and is armed with some of that new garda mace spray. While he admits paying a ransom for Dollys return he wont confirm the amount. In honour of Michael and his troubles we have come to the conclusion that we will adopt Dolly as our mascot in the Volvo Ocean Race game.
In anticipation of the visit of the Volvo Ocean Race visit to Galway we have entered a yacht in the online version of this amazing race. The name of our entry is mis-spelt and we can’t change it now. The name of our entry is Aran Isalands Winner. Check out our progress at Volvo Ocean Race Game
