Bloguemahone: Dispatches from the road

It’s too damn cold in London (and in Boston?

), so why not move to Dublin? Go through the the horrors of foggy airports, peep into a cozy wardrobe, enjoy a bit of impish manners, and listen to too christmassy Fairytale. And, of course, solve the mystery of Rhinophalt!

The final BlogueMahone chapter from the December, 2006 shows is now available.

In this, our final 2006 chapter, we learn of quiet and solitary parting breakfasts. We also learn of uneventful flights and we infer a joyous reunion with the daughters who when last seen were chasing after the taxi carrying James away.We are also confronted with the uncertainties of air travel and their ability to keep luggage near to the rightful owners. Most of all, though, we learn about the mysterious Ross - he is a man whose children have wooden cake on Boxing Day, and he is a Problem Solver. There Are No Insurmountable Problems Only A Serious of Challenges.

Thank you, James, for bringing us along on the journey. The peek behind the curtain is always entertaining and enlightening. I'm already looking forward to the next series. Thank you also to Zuzana for so enthusiastically announcing these installments as they've become available.

Isn't it worth to be leafed through from time to time?

Leafing leaves me cold.

"Theresa MacGowan comes into the dressing room and I’m strangely chuffed that she remembers my name."

I mean i thought her name was Therese ?? might be wrong.

It would be ironic if Mrs MacGowan had remembered James's name but not vice versa. But I can't say I know the answer to your question. It's a common enough occurence in Ireland. My mother was born Christina, but nobody has ever called her anything other than Christine. All his life my father was known by a forename which does not actually appear on his birth certificate. Amidst such uncertainty, changing my surname to Chevron at the age of 18 seemed quite normal.

So that's not your real name? Then what is :wink:

My grandmother was born in Carlow town in the early part of the century. Although her birth certificate lists the name Julia, she was always called Sheila.
