Was chatting away to a girl from Florida in a bar in Toronto and she mentioned that in her home state it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine. There's another reason not to then!
Naaah, not really, I mentioned that Carlow has Europes largest & the worlds 3rd largest Dolmen, and the only thing I could remember from visiting there was one of the lads taking a dump on the top of it when we were young lads....................she seemed impressed, and then came up with the porcupine fact and we got on like a house on fire.
Do you still have The Foundry? Wasn't that Irelands biggest nightclub when it opened or was I told a lie?
Dunno could have been i personally hate the place but as a venue its top notch, revamped recently they put a fortune into it
It has a capacity of anything between 3000 and 10000 depending on who you are talking to at and their level of soberness. If I can remember correctly it has an amazing combination of scumbags and drunk 17 year old young wans........so the place isn't all bad. Walt Disney's grandparents came from Carlow, oh, and we used to have the Sugar Factory. Also if you want to get murdered or robbed Graiguecullen is nice place to visit. Doing a lot for the Carlow board of Tourism I am. Maybe not.
