I prefer the rolling hills of Wicklow, the long winding Shannon, or the best of the lot - West Cork and Kerry. I must write an article sometime - A Guide to Hunting in Ireland.

You should change your doctor. Ian - I often travel over to the Glencullen area. It is a great hunting ground. Though it isn't the highest pub. There are about five pubs claim that and I believe a place in Kerry holds the distinction. Anybody who goes shooting for sport should be shot.

I can see why that it might be fruitful hunting ground, it being the highest pub in Ireland. Last week I met a woman being ordained in the American Episcopal Church, her husband is in a medical practice in upstate New York and goes out shooting things at the weekend. My thoughts on American clergy were knocked sideways when she said that she went shooting when she had the time. This definitely beats the odd C of I cleric who rides to hounds! Grandad,

Most unhelpful. My blood pressure always shoots up when I’m at work, but I just can’t get my doctor to agree that any kind of paid employment is a serious health risk and must cease immediately.

He's good all right, but he does insist on no smoking or drinking. At least, not when he is examining me. Once I can get him off the subject of anal probes, he's the best bloke in the world....
