    and to think I thought the Longford-Tyrone Massif was a cross border hoodie gang.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    It's part of the Longford-Down Massif. I'm up for digging next time I get home.

    Great to see that there is more there than they initially thought. Maybe thats why Robinson and his Unionists chose Clontibret (or Clonteebrett as the BBC pronounced it then) to march into some years ago.

    They have been taking samples there for years now. I think we should organise a Klondike style festival in Monaghan now. When I was living in Canada as a kid the best time of the year was the Klondike festival that celebrated the gold rush. God I can still taste the mustard on the hotdogs.

    Larry don't own the gold though. That's the property of the state. Poor Larry.

    I meant the state, not FF. They'll be making a lot more than €10. Who was it who was signatory for Corrib again?
