This one is for Papa Smurf. Our dad is a very intelligent and witty man. When you talk to him for longer than 5 minutes, it becomes pretty clear that he is of another era. The age where 'stickin it to the man' and 'fighting the power' was what it was all about. He listens to bands that nobody has EVER heard of with the craziest names like 'The New Riders of the Purple Sage' (A 'psychedelic cowboy band') or 'Wishbone Ash' (who are actually are not half bad)
While helping me with a study on religious trends, he informed me of a question in the Irish census which asked 'What Religion are you? e.g. Orthodox Jewish'. So just to spite them he wrote that our family are Orthodox Jews. So somewhere in a large statistics office in Dublin, someone is looking at the statistics of Schull, and speculating as to why there is such a large influx of the Orthodox Jewish faith in the area.
On another witty note, when there was a particular note that I had to mention in the project but had little to say about, he advised me to say 'Well, as for that, I feel it speaks for itself'. Legend.
