Not so much funny as unusual. Dolphins Barn and Coach and Horses in Tipp...

Horse and Jockey, not Coach and Horses.

Was wondering about that. Does it actually count as being a place, or just a general term for the area around the hotel?

Is there somewhere called Twopothouse on the Cork to Limerick Rd?

Vague memory of laughing my hole off on the way down to a game a few years back.

I just read that a bit too quickly and thought you said your mate
had "christened" the stadium

Yeah - its near Mallow. I was at a wedding down there earlier this year.

I think its actually New Twopothouse - so I wonder where Old Twopothouse is?

No, it's a proper place alright - old enough (pictures in the hotel of the "village" a hundred years ago, and it has a proper Irish name too ("An Marcach" - the rider). Strange one though, 'cos it seems to consist of the hotel, a tyre company and a shop. I think it was historically an important meeting point after the Thurles races. It may at this stage incorporate some houses which have strayed too far from Moycarkey and Twomileborris.

Always have a laugh at "Newbuildings" in Derry. Pike of Rushall is in Laois, and Turnpike is the village before Horse and Jockey.

There's a place up the Comeragh mountains, into South Tipp I think, called Powers the Pot. Always made me laugh.
