Now don’t forget to feed our cat when we’re away.

I won’t forget.

So what day is it ye’re are going to Galway?

There you go again – Galway. We ARE NOT going to Galway. How many times do I have to tell you we are going to Clare? You keep saying Galway. You keep telling people that. You told Mary we were going to Galway and now she’s gone and booked a B&B in Clifden thinking she can meet up with us at the weekend. And you told those people selling the car that we’d be passing through Athlone and would have a look on the way home. And you told my mother-in-law and she gave us a voucher for the shopping centre in Eyre Square. And you told Frank and his wife arrived with a stack of tourist brochures about Galway.

Get it right for fek sake: NOT GALWAY! WE ARE GOING TO CLARE! CLARE! CLARE! CLARE!

Would you not go to Galway? It would avoid all this confusion ye’re causing.

    @MacDara – Good ole Mac. Great to see you around. And, yeah, Galway not Clare would be worth reading.

    @Grannymar – Not sure. I think she reads the news or something.

    What’s there to even see in Clare’s backyard? Since when does she have anything that can top Galway?

    @TheChrisD – I wonder if Claregalway would be a suitable compromise?

    There’s a song Primal, not a great song, but a ditty never the less. A dirty ditty for want of alliteration. I know only one line, and the memory of the accompanying movements shocks me to my core.
    “We’re all going to Galway”

    That said, there was drink involved.

    @Sniffle&Cry – I assume you mean the drink explains the memory loss and not the shock.

    My favourite dirty ditty is Easy and Slow – Ronnie Drew.

    In fairness it’s not exactly a long long way from Galway.

    @Eolaí gan Fhéile – But it is from here. And it gets further by the day (’cause of roadworks and all).

    @galwaywegian – Precisely. Shur it’d be like going to Kilteel when you could’ve gone to Ballymore.
