Hi Suzieq
Finglas in a nutshell. Dublin wit at it's best . Without taking anything from the great people of Finglas ( i have a sister in Valley Park ) and i come from Whitehall , i can relate to your brilliant sense of humour. Well done, and thanks for kickstarting our weekend with a good laugh and here's hoping the wine will keep it going.
