Victory is ours – sorta

This has got to be an urban myth!

Aughrim in Co Wicklow won the 2007 Tidy Towns competition. Apparently, one of the local councillors said that ‘pride’ had now been restored to the town after the 1691 Battle of Aughrim.

Only problem is…the Battle of Aughrim took place in Co Galway on the opposite side of Ireland. Still, I guess it’s easy to get confused over something that happened over 300 years ago…

About Me

I’m a thirtymumble Irish male living in Dublin. I’m single, agnostic…and, just to complicate things, a vegetarian. I’m extremely proud that I’ve never seen a full episode of Corrie, Eastenders, etc.

My favourite joke of all time:
Two cows walk into a field
The first cow says, ‘moo‘.
The second cow says, ‘Damn, I was gonna say that‘.
