Hey Terry, you perhaps don't know how close to the truth you are. ;D
A few years back, several historians found a fault in the blood line of the monarchy.
They traced the rightfull line and it turns out the heir to the throne is a guy in Aus.  :D :D :D
While I am on, I would like to wish a happy New Year to all my fans world wide. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ha ha, yeah, I'd heard something about that Sammy, I've been back to Ireland in the 1970's and I'd much rather live here, but the old family home, Eniscorthy Castle, sure would make a nice little holiday house with room for a few CB750's and a small workshop, ha ha! ;D



 
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey Terry, I've been in Enniscorthy Castle it's about 60 miles from where I grew up !! What family name do you have associated with it ?
Here's our ancestral house in Co. Kerry Ireland, was on a 6,000 acre estate. In the family from 1640's to 1958 !! The house pictured dates to 19th. century, original burned down ( was on the same site )......

G'Day Spanny, that's interesting mate, my surname is Prendergast, and of course, Enniscorthy Castle was built by Gerald de Prendergast. Oh, and I forgot to mention that my wife is a descendant from English aristocracy, her grandmother was a de Blaquiere. So tell me more about your family history mate, are we related, or were we mortal enemies a couple of hundred years ago? Cheers, Terry. ;D

Spikey  will like this. Got pissed with Lemmy Kilmister and the rest of motorhead after a concert in Brisbane in the 80's, really cool blokes and we had a blast. One for Terry, bumped into Simon Townsend { TV personality in Aus} in Sydney one night with a pile of my mates, we were all a bit pissed anyway out of a Rolls Royce hops Simon, i couldn't help myself so i asked him if the "world really was wonderful" and he let fly with a expletive  laden tirade that had us in fits of laughter......{you had to be there ;)}

haha.. Good times

I was supposedly infamous in my city for my cycling exploits...  Had some friends and family describe my bikes to random people and they knew who I was and didn't care for me a bit...  Just stupid #$%* having to do with road bikes and traffic..  I'm a lucky, and stupid SOB.  I'll just say that.
