The women in my country are nice, but they like to hit you too much because you havn't made them enough tea, so you get a scared after a while, and so I would like to experience different cultures as well.

I think I might hit you if you did make me tea

We're really nice over here as well, although don't forget I'm in Cornwall, where we're all Methodists and a bit behind the times like yourselves, what is this 'television' thing you keep speaking of?

We grow lots of broccoli, the white stuff (cauliflower to everyone else) would you like some to go with your potatoes, although that wouldn't bring much colour to your plate would it?

I ask you this in all seriousness, what about the fairies? Do most Irish people believe in them, is Ireland really "the land of the fairies?" Have you ever seen a fairy hill? Silly question I know, but I just thought I'd ask.

Hello red glitter, yes I have seen fairy hills, and fairy trees, and fairy stones, the older people in the country side do believe in fairies so they don't cut down the fairy trees or they believe that the fairies will come to your house at night and rob your DVD player. The people in the cities believe in faires as well, but these fairies are not the same, and they are mostly into fashion, musicals, and doing interesting cultural things, I think these fairies are quite nice people really, but some people don't like them and call them names. That makes me sad, because I think that all people whether they are magical or normal should be nice to each other. :-1

Oh I have heard of cornwall, the people there are very nice, and they have nice voices I have heard, and in the old days they used to wear black hats, and whenver the French people would come around for a sail, they would beat them up and send them home. I am hoping you won't hit me because I am already quite brusied from Irish girls hitting me, so I won't make you any tea, and I will talk to you about television.

Televison is this thing thats like a small cinema in your room, and people go on it, and usually its set in a house, and these very important people, the most important people in the land, go into the house, and they have disucssions about important issues like who is a chav and who is not (I think a Chav is like a speical minister for hats or something), and then all the people outside the house get really interested and decide whether to have a war about what the house people are arguing about, and its all very interesting. I like cauliflower as well, and cabbage, and Broccolli, I think we will be good friends and we will have lots to talk about, I am glad that I am making friends here, and no one has tried to hit me yet, that is nice.

Oh I am sorry that you lost the house in the poetry competition, that is sad, but I am glad that you got the kids, because kids are nice and they make the world nicer to be in. I am sad that the lawyers take such a lot of money just for writing down the poems and reading them out, that seems like its a bit unfair, maybe we shouldn't let the lawyer people get to be in these competitions, or maybe we should make them pay for putting them on, that would be nicer I think.

Oh we have methodist people here as well, there are not so many of them, so their church is smaller, but they sing better than us to make up for it, so it all works out well.

:wah: Come here Galbally and let me rub some horse liniment on those bruises. Nasty girls!

You haven't sold me to the idea of television yet, isn't there something a bit more interesting to show, I'm not into hats at all.

mmm the french, well my ex bosses wife was french but I wasn't allowed to beat her up and send her home unfortunately.

You need to be a stowaway on a fishing boat then you could get into my local fishing port and have a taste of Cornwall. Our fishing boats are always calling in to land in Ireland, they've bought lots of Irish lassies this way that way, I promise I will protect you from them though. I will be on the quay waiting with a Pasty keeping me warm.

We played Italy once in the world cup (and it must have made god upset because we are both catholics), but there was a man playing called totti, and he was good with balls, is this the same thing? We have mud wrestling as well, but its what you do when you have to get the moo cows out of the fields in winter and back into the barns, it is tiring, is your kind of mud wrestling tiring as well? I will join in if you like, because I have wrestled some moo cows before and I know how to get them back into the hay barn, so I might be useful. I am glad you will give me lessons about how to be nice for ladies, because this is a good thing to learn, there are so many nice ladies here, I am trying to think how I could be nice to them all, but my house is not so big, and maybe they would not all fit. I will join your club, but you let me have a cup of tea and a go of my rosary beads before I can give you a cuddle, because if not then I will get told off by Fr Murphy.

It all seems very complicated for a nice young Irish lad like yourself. But don't worry, the nice ladies and myself will look after you and explain all the difficult words to you, we'll soothe your brow and get the wrinkles out. Just you come along now and we'll all have a nice cup of tea (ok Betty we'll find you something else), a little cuddle and a chat about nature (you know, birds, bees and the like)

Oh yes, I like those pastie food things you have, so do Irish ladies, which is probably why so many got on the boats with the cornish men, so I would like you to cook me one of those, and for protecting me from the Irish ladies. I am glad that you will give me some linament as well, you seem to be a very nice lady indeed. I will try and be a stowaway on a boat sometime, but its very stormy now, and I am afraid that all the pasties will be wet on the boat and it won't be so much fun, but when the sun comes back I will try my luck, I hope the cornish fishermen don't throw me overboard when they realize I am not a nice irish girl though.

I don't know, but they always seem very happy to be in mass, and sing very heartily, which makes me think that they have better masses, or they are allowed to have some of the wine or something, we have to just mumble and everyone shuffles their feet and looks at each other. I think its boring sometimes, but then if I look bored some irish girl will hit me and make me say a hail mary.

Oh thank you, that its really nice, I like learning new things about nice animals, and I like parties, so I am very happy. I may get confused sometimes, but I am sure you are very good at explaining things, so I am not too worried.

PASTY at least spell it correctly! I have to make you a Pasty?? uh oh!

Good thinking about the rough weather, don't want you arriving here greener than you already are!

(and it will give me plenty of time to practice the art of making pasties.)

The cornish fishermen will be fine, just promise to buy them a pint or two in the pub when you land, you'll be their best mate. Just remember to keep quiet when they're on the phones to their wives telling them that they are still three hours from land, when in actual fact they are just walking through the pub doorway.

Oh I am sorry, I am not always sure about how to spell exoctic foods, we really like your pasty's and we try to make them, but the Cornish fishermen come over and give out because we don't make them right, so we give them some guinness to calm them down and they like that, but we don't tell their wives because they might get upset. I will remember to bring a large keg of Irish beer for the fishermen on the way over, and I won't ring the girls in Cornwall that we are having a party on the way because they might close the harbour and we would have to land in wales and then walk to cornwall.

Galbally, being the nice catholic Irish boy that you are and with your plans to offer advice to the nice people here in the garden I just wondered if you had considered setting up a confessional service. I for one would visit and welcome the opportunity to get things off my chest. Of course it would have to be confidential but I am sure you could be trusted to keep a secret.

Oh thats a good idea, I could do that, though I won't pretend to be a priest because thats sacrareligious, but yes, I think that I could help lots of people get lots of things off their chests. I will see how to go about this.

Don't bother with fr Murphy me lad, he wouldn't understand. Here, have a seat, and I'll explain it to you in length.

I spoke to father Murphy and he said that its alright to talk to you, as long as I hold a candle lit vigil for you next weekend. I am going to drop a euro into st Antony as well, just to be sure, to be sure.
