Rumour has it ...

That there are numerous ways of dispatching those pesky rodents in which you don't even have to raise your longsword in anger. I've heard tales that all double dozen of them can be dispatched inside of thirty seconds. Wouldn't that be too good to be true?

It's been said that there's a connection between the old man's home and the king: 'The King said, "Bother!" and then he said, "Oh, deary me!". The King sobbed, "Oh, deary me!" and went back to bed. "Nobody," he whimpered, "could call me a fussy man; I only want a little bit Of butter for my bread!" Perhaps a serving at the correct location is in order?

Do you know that you can actually get MUD to say "fuck off" to you? Try experimenting ...

Have you ever considered other places to use those parachutes? One particular location is guaranteed to lead to a grizzly end, but in doing so you'll be given a strong hint to a great secret.

FISH AND CHIPS hold a special place in the hearts of many. And as we all know, the best way to indulge in them is straight out of the local chipper.

So, here are finest fish and chip establishments from around the country:

1. Donkey Ford’s, Limerick

This just might have the reputation as the best fish and chips in the country (outside the more traditionally famous places) and it’s a mantle that is well deserved. Donkey Ford’s is Limerick and the Limerick people guard its reputation closely. If you’re down that direction, you have to try it.

2. Reel Dingle Fish, Dingle, Kerry
