Mayo all your troubles be little ones

Mayo your soul be in heaven an hour before the devil knows your dead

and as the great man said on his death bed to the nun nursing him:
God bless you sister.
Mayo all your sons be bishops.

Yeh, I've looked at the site, Lacie, and it's very good. Well worth a visit!

Some trivia about Mayo for those who relish that sorta stuff:

The Irish name for the county is Magh Eo (maw-yoe), the Plain of a person named Eo. He was the inspiration for an Ol' Blue Eyes, Dean Martin and Shammy Davish Jnr. movie called "Oshean'sh Eleven." Anybody old enough to admit to remembering Shammy shinging "E-O Eleven?" Great shong!!

Ash for Mayonnaishe itshelf, it wash originally called Mahon-aishe, after an Irish guy named Mahon who wash an offisher in Napoleon'sh army. He invented the shtuff while shtationed in the island of Menorca. The main town on the island wash named after him and ish now called "Mao."

Gotta go and change my teesh now. Bye!

I've no issue with the site itself.
I just didn't like the way they dumped an impersonal bit of boilerplate advertising copy on the board. Normally I'd delete such a message, but left it as it was of interest.

One could say that the advertising was a bit saucy :)
