Día dhuit air maidin a Ghearóid,
Your little bird may be singing her sweet little song but for the life of me I cannot see your e-mail address in the lines. I get the Tv bit and your name but I cannot see the
netcache 3003 or Bay web net. It may be that my mind is not atuned to this type of thing...I'm just a romantic with no great interest in 'serious' matters.By the way - do you know that your surname means scholar or school goer and that your ancestors were lords of part of Co.Offaly?
