Spike Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Met an Australian at the car show yesterday. He was happy to see his homeland cars at the show as Pontiac G8's and Chevy Caprice PPV. Said he loved the Holden commodore he had before he moved to Ohio and wished he could've brought it with him. But he found and bought a 2004 Pontiac GTO which is a Holden Monaro. Looks like my family's reunion isn't going to happen this year. My one aunt is refusing to go if the other aunt is there and she got her kids to refuse to go as well. I told the wife who was helping plan the reunion might as well just cancel it, no sense in renting a hall for just 30 people. Would have been 50+. This petty BS just reminds me why I like animals more than people lol. Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 2 Quote

HossC Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago I'm just back from a couple of days in Connemara - a scenic region in Co. Galway on the Atlantic west coast of Ireland. I went as part of a group, and we all had a very enjoyable trip despite the miserable weather yesterday. The area is part of a Gaeltacht - a region where Irish is the first language, and very few of the road signs are in English, although everyone speaks English. Last night several of us went for a drink at the nearby Hooker Bar, but don't worry, the pub is over 200 years old and is named after the Galway hooker - a traditional fishing boat used in Galway Bay.

RogerDuke Posted 13 hours ago Author Posted 13 hours ago Did you run into any Celtic Women singing Tir Na Nog? I love that song. Quote

I saw the phrase "Tír na nÓg" (it means "Land of Youth") painted on several buildings, and the bar was advertising "Ceol Anocht" ("Music Tonight"), but I don't think it was the Celtic Women. It was probably traditional Irish music, but we had food waiting at the house, so we didn't stay to find out. Just to keep you happy, Roger: Quote
