I might be dumb but how does Ranelagh = dock was in a hurry?

Healio · 24-03-2004 7:41pm

i think the priests village could be Blanchardstown, as a blanch was an early pagan priest!!

DrEvil · 24-03-2004 9:17pm

'Priests village' would be most likely Churchtown or maybe even Monkstown

'dock was in a hurry' could be Rush

OT

What do u base this on? Finland is a scandinavian country. do a google for "Scandinavian countries" and see or from dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=scandinavia
scandinavia - > "A region of northern Europe consisting of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Finland, Iceland, and the Faeroe Islands are often included in the region"

anyway was bored felt like clarifying that

back on topic.

i'm pretty sure that
21. assassinate leading actor"
is
Killester i.e. 'Kill a star'
