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.

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
