I'm reminded of an old joke. - Guy goes into a computer shop and asks for a recommendation for a hard drive. The guy behind the counter says "Cavan to Cootehill on a snowy morning".

Ba dum tish

too many blind bends, blind crests, hidden dips, etc. and the locals drive like the clappers. you'd be seasick from prolonged driving on the cavan roads. have you gone native? i.e. got your sea legs?

can't remember the exact phrasing of the question. do you have access to iplayer? it was something like "16th century physicist william gilbert was the first to use which term to describe the movement of charged particles or ions?"

Spoiler

"electricity". can't recall the two wrong answers; maybe "current" and "power"

If you want to give him another interesting fact, Stoney Road in Dundrum is named after the guy who came up with the concept of the electron, who lived in the area for years. Think he was from Offaly originally.

Spoiler tagged to avoid providing a hint for University Challenge.

Spent two weeks in Donegal (a major pleasure in itself) trying to learn how to surf. By yesterday afternoon I was pretty much done, had more or less resigned myself to the fact that this was not something I would really be able to do... but.. went for one last go because the conditions were near perfect.. and... I totally fucking nailed it. I am so chuffed with myself right now.

My lack of ability to swim puts surfing out of the equation for me.

Learn to swim! I only did it a couple of years ago. Plus the adult lessons I attended were a lark.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I know,but really,I don't want to learn to swim enough so I'd only be half arsed at best about it.
