Re: Miscellany: New Year, 2017

I knew from visits to Dublin that, 'Dubh' was 'black' and the rest just took a little research. Incidentally,, I find it interesting that we have 'Blackpools' on either side of the Irish Sea.

Re: Trump/Farage Alliance

Personally, I cannot believe that either of them are worth a light. One of the reasons that I gave up taking a daily newspaper, is that I couldn't stand opening the pages of a quality newspaper and seeing articles about or by them.
