Back in doodleville for all my sins. Jupiter Florida to be exact. I loved living in Ireland but it's just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive unfortunately, from pints to houses they shaft you good-style. "Rip-off Republic" is the catch phrase over there, and it's very appropiate I'm afraid.
 Nothing ventured nothing gained though, and at least I got to enjoy Eire for two years...got to see Cork win the all Ireland hurling and Munster win the Heineken Cup.

Welcome back. For what it's worth, I lived in Jupiter, Florida the first five years of my life.

BTW O'Mankie, Welcome back...
 
 I thought the reason we hadn't heard from you was because you had converted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCz9oSi2Tmw&mode=related&search=).
