Hey, it's all very well for you lot to laugh. Nothing fills me with more dread and trepidation than being hailed by a couple in a hire car, he in a baseball cap, she in monsoon gear, "Hey, y'all know the way to BALymackslattery?" As if it were the metropilis of Letterkenny!!

Hi Boyd; Hi Dave and listers. Do I know that feeling ................ ??? You oughta live up at Gartan. Comin down the brae, they sit in the middle of the road admiring the view - well who can blame them - but we can't get past them. Just over the bridge, people just sit there, as sure as eggs is eggs - guess who is trying to turn left / right when the visitors decide where they want to go ...................
