    Pretty sure it's a Mulleadys bin outside! Feel like I know it but can't place it.

    Nope, and have belatedly realised why google has come up blank when I looked for that

    I opened a thread once called "Define the Midlands." It was going fine with alot of interesting and conflicting opinions from midlanders themselves, until one gob****e came in to tell us all we were stupid not to know. Dying to show off his erudition, he insisted that every landlocked county was midland i.e. the midlands included Carrick-on-Suir and Strabane. He was so bolshie that, as often happens, genuine posters gave up and deserted the thread. A pity, because the quest for a fairly precise definition ended in vain.

    Ballinacarrigy? I don't think so, but I've googled every Church of Ireland in the midlands searching for one that has a tower in the shape of a club milk,

    Correct, well done. Now you're up! :)



    And for those trying to follow my clues (Which in retrospect were a bit of a stretch, but this is my caring face: :pac:):



    "Rockwell International Corp., Downey, CA, United State whose facilities were the birthplace of the systems for the Apollo Space Program as well as the Space Shuttle."


    "The oldest McDonald's restaurant is a drive-up hamburger stand at 10207 Lakewood Boulevard at Florence Avenue in Downey, California."


    "Downey was founded by and named for the former and youngest ever governor of California, John Gately Downey, who was born in Ireland."


    "Downey was born on June 24, 1827 in the townland of Castlesampson, Taughmaconnell parish, County Roscommon."
