    I was 2 years ahead and just an acquaintance really, not a close friend or anything. Nice guy though, the way he comes across in interviews etc is pretty much just how he is - a generally down to earth good sort.

    I know it well, a nice part of the city. I am from a town called Headford, only 15 minutes from Galway, shows the world is a small place

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your time here

    Did you ever go to see the Galway International Rally that takes place in February?

    Unfortunately I was there during summer months. The only race I saw was the horse week (or something with the similar name) due to the job I had there. You guys go mad for horses races , there were a lot of people in the city also.

    By the way those irish roads should be great for a proper rally, I'm sure that event is a very good one. I will come back for sure one day and the rally could be a nice excuse to do it.

    Having travelled to many countries where English is not their first language is still amazes me that the hardest country in the world to understand the spoken English is in many pats of England
