Also, the origin of "gets my goat" (there's no "up" in the expression) is disputed; theories include a drift from "goad" and a reference to the old practice of keeping a goat with horses to keep them calm.

Does the fact that I have a pet Goat, in the back garden, help in any way?

Depends on what you want out of it.

Was at one on the Aran Islands a couple of years ago that was brilliant.
Another deadly one we hiked up Carauntoohil and then spent the night drinking in Kenmare.

If you want to go abroad and not the UK, Barcelona the weekend of the Champions league final could be worth taking a punt on.

If your going within Ireland then I would suggest Kenmare. Was at one there back in June and it was brilliant.

Yeah he was named after it. He has a Longford mother. There's photos of the inside of it on facebook it's unreal the damage done. Could cost anywhere up to €10m to restore it and it'll take up to five years.

There's a great picture of Mel wearing a Town scarf on the front of an old OneFinLongford

I remember that one now actually. Himself and Will Ferrell are the two most ardent celebrity LTFC fans. Could tell you the ins and outs of every team we've had since '84 those two. Mel's a big Frank Darby fan whereas Will was always more of a 'Dutchy' Dully man.

Is Will not a big Vinny fan?

**Longfordian** · 06/01/2010, 4:51 PM

He admits himself he's learned a lot from Vinny over the years. Not the most likely of stars but it shows what can be achieved with a lot of hard work and a good attitude.
