Road side Co. Cavan

It's wonderful to be able to enjoy sights that I probably would never see other wise. Keep 'em coming Irish.

ah thanks GG. the furthest spot you can see on that photo is where my sister lives lol

Could you tell us what this represents please Irish ?

its a momunent to St. Oliver Plunkett, he was born near where this is.
he was hung drawn and quartered in 1681

Oh dear,what a fate, but good that people liked him enough to remember him in this way.

aye bit like William Wallace

Glad to hear he didn't go to waste. Was it only quarters or did the butcher cut smaller portions for those who didn't have enough money for a whole one?

well his head is in a church in Drogheda Toto lol

You could make brawn with that.

I loved all these road side monuments on our trip to Ireland Eileen . ..

Don,t answer Toto .. he,s gruesome .... :o(

lol aye i think ill just blank him now Amy

Gruesome, gruesome. Have you never been really hungry Amy?

first thing tomorrow morn Toto get the nurse to change those tablets lol

Yes Toto , I remember bread and dripping .... LOL...

Beautiful countryside.

What do you mean, "remember bread and dripping" I still have it now.
Sorry Irish but I don't know why my tablets need to be changed again.

lol no bother Toto.

hey i remember my dad given us sugar sambos lol

I can guess Toto ... .. leave him in that lovely cosy wooly world Eileen .... ;o)

Yes, had them too.

What is a Sambo Eileen , I can remember bread with butter dipped in suger ... is that anything like it ?

just slices of bread with sugar inbetween

Same thing then , I had never heard them called Sambos , you learn something everyday .. :o)

lol so they say Amy

I will skip the hung drawn and quartered bit, and just stick with the bread and dripping please...lol

lol another order for bread and dripping Toto

It's on it's way. Do you want jelly?

Oh Yes please Toto .. that was always the best bit .. :o)

jelly Toto,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, now you are spoiling us lol

is that a child of prague next to him ? I put mine out to stop the rain however hasn't worked recently.

By the way I am surprised you didn't mention a peice and dripping - we grew up on that in Glasgow :)

didnt mention piece Angie cos i thought id have to explain what that meant lol

Yes you do to me please Eileen / Angie a piece of what ?

lol its a scot word for sandwich - bread Amy

Amy a Piece is a sandwich in Scotland - Piece and cheese, Piece and Ham or my Scottish fav Piece and Jam. It get a bit tricky though - a slice of toast and butter would be a piece and toast.

well done Eileen for getting in ther first - how did we get from St. Oliver Plunkett to Piece and Jam - only on GOY LMAO

lol arnt we soooooooooo good at explaining Angie :-)

Well thanks for the lessons , when I get up to Scotland I shall know whats what ... LOL...

lol anytime

aye Angie, go from one thing to another on here lol

Eileen, you will have to do a travel blog :o)

lol it would be Scotland, Dublin , Cavan , Milan and thats about it lol .
my fav places :-)

oooh hark you Eileen "Milan"

showing off now eh lol.
naw i love there, love the people. once gave some of my family a tour of the place lol

I'm a Brummie and we always used to ask Mom for 'piece' I always thought everybody said that LOL. We then got asked a piece of what, jam, dripping, condensed milk, oh yummy condensed milk sandwiches. Toto, did you put salt on your dripping sandwiches as well as the jelly, we did!! Could you imagine kids today if we asked them if they would like a jelly dripping sandwich with salt on ROFL - anyway, hung, drawn and quartered he was, but at least he got a memorial stone for his trouble!!!

lol aye i can just imagine the faces if my two were offered a sugar sandwich

Sandwich,s mmmmmmmm much better than cakes lol

aye Janette if only we had bread

Soon Eileen when we make our first millions wi the snail farms lol

lol wow Janette you mean we could be rich enough to have bread in the kitchen
