Mrs O'Mockney always called it Santana.

Irish gaelic, being absolutely a pronunciation mystery to me, I always deferred to her greater knowledge.

I did feel a bit better about it when an Irish chap in Madrid corrected her though, so the language isn't THAT insane.


And the Castle does, I'm guessing any pub with a sky box will too.

setanta was the nephew of king conor macnessa leader of the red branch knights of ulster. he changed his name to cuchullain as a young lad after killing a fearsome hound belonging to culain which guarded to gateway to ulster.

what do you expect you,re in ireland

I ended up at the Forest Hill Tavern, as the CPT hadn't paid the Setana subscription and the Magdala were showing the rugby.


Bloody rugby and a meaningless friendly at that. Guess that's the downside of antipodean bar staff.


Have to say that the FHT refurb is fab. It's a much nicer place these days.

    • I'm selling a couple of habitat wooden wall hanging shelves.. they are currently on Facebook market place  https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1833526090637338/?referralSurface=messenger_banner&referralCode=2    
    • We regularly donate toiletries as well as cleaning products to Albrighton
    • I think giving toiletries, as well as food, is a great idea.  The issues around partly-used items are to do with hygiene, dignity, etc. 
    • Another very strong recommendation for Oddbods. They were extremely responsive, very clear with quotes, suggestions and ideas, willing to work within my budget where possible and very swift and polite once working in my flat. I had various sets of floating shelves installed (including them fixing up a half-finished, slightly failed home diy attempt from us), a rotten cupboard shelf replaced and new set of hinges installed on a cupboard door. We're really pleased with their work, it looks great. They suggested a few little extra details on the work, which were so appreciated and made everything look even neater.   Easily, the best handypeople I've ever worked with. Strongly recommended.
