Not to me it doesn't!
BTW does anyone have any thoughts on the events of the Millenium. I'm kinda inclined to agree with Life's choice of Gutenburgs Bible actually but has anyone else any thoughts, say viz Ireland's major contributions????
Interesting the only real mention Ireland gets is in the context of the Potato Famine and it's place in Emigration i.e. What those forced out of Ireland did in other parts of the world.
What about say James Joyce or WB Yeats or Boyles Law or Scotus (The guy on the old pound note thought I think he was pre 1000 AD!!) or Brian Boru or the Irish Alchemist mentioned in Dantes Inferno (now for ya, did ya know there were Paddies in Hell!!!!)
All contributions welcomed.
