    Hey keVin, these compatriots of yours will try anything - Trust me to
    "send on the money"???? 
    
                    Haaa......No help today!!!!!! 

	Hello, have a look in the newsagents and see if they have one of
	the British-Irish newpapers; I think the Irish Post carries
	adverts for specialist Irish bookshops and places selling red
        lemonade and so on.

    What's so special about red lemonade?
    I can get it anywhere here in Ireland.Is it not so readily available
    in the states?????
    

    
    
    	You won't find it in the states either unless you visit a shop
    	that specializes in Irish Foods. I would guess that there are only
    	2 or 3 places in all of Boston that would carry Red Lemonade.

    Only communists and other such undesirables (eg. non-anthem singing
    foreigners) would be intrested in "red" lemonade, hence its conspicuous 
    absence. But white lemonade goes well with just about everything anyway. 
    On a more serious note though, where did this recipe for cider
    originate?   

I suspect that anyone who drinks that British rot-gut called 'Vimto'
(an anagram for Vomit) would swoon for red lemonade.  It can't
be worse than drinking 'caribou', can it?

    I drank hi-test caribou once in quebec.  It kept my motor running
    while skiing in -50 degree weather.  What is the french word for
    caribou?

    p.s. Pat, are you getting the Senators back next year or what???

    Re .7: George, the French word for caribou is:
    Guess what?
    Yes, that's it:
    
    Caribou...

Re: .8

And the reason for calling it 'caribou'?

In Qu�bec, where the concoction originated, one mixes grain alcohol
which is sold in the Societ� d'Alcool de Qu�bec (Quebec Liquor Board)
in bottles that depict a caribou on the label.  The other ingredient
is usually cheap red wine (the resulting colour of the drink and it's
subsequent effect has coined another name, 'Purple Jesus').

Are the Senators returning to Ottawa (actually the rink will be in Kanata)?
If you're referring to the Parliamentary ones, I bloody well hope not - have
you seen the news about the fracas in the Canadian Senate House?
If you're referring to the puck type, I dunno.  But there is a lot of interest.

Pat

    All this about red lemonade and caribou,whatever they may be,may be 
    remotely interesting to some folks but what the hell does it have to do
    with my request for some help from my fellow Celts?
    Of nine replies one is insulting,one is helpfull and the rest are
    little or nothing to do with the matter in hand.
    I would suggest that if you have nothing constructive or helpfull to
    say you had best say nothing at all.
    
    
                                                          Kenny.
    

I also would be interested in the whereabouts of the aforementioned
tome, as my 'library' of Irish books is sadly lacking and my knowledge
of history Irish is worse.  I certainly appreciate the level-headed
and even-handed manner that Kenny Delaney exemplifies whence he brought
this topic back to the subject at hand.  It is not a endearing manner
that besets us in this NOTESfile when there are those amongst us who 
wish to resort to supercillious digressions.  I for one shall never resort
to that level triviality again.


From the humblest of reformed digressionors,

Pat (wanna buy a caribou)

    I disagree!! I think that this notesfile's ability to digress from 
    one topic to something totally unrelated but generally far more
    intresting and metaphysically more relevant to the human condition
    is its strongest attribute and should be nurtured, not slighted.
    
    

Oh yes, yes, Kevin.  I totally agree with your disagreement about the
digressions that are generated upon ingressing this NOTESfile.  One might
also note that I have a tendency to vascillate (without using petrolatum)
from one opinion to another unconscionably.  However, I have strong
reservations (no reference to Oka) about the ability to find a copy of
the aforementioned historical treastise by Donal O'Neill.  Possibly in the
crucible of public scrutiny shall be forged a new edition.

I rest my buttocks.

    Kenny,
    
    Try "Waterstones" in Glasgow and ask them to contact one of their
    branches in Ireland. They've at least got a branch in Cork, to cater
    for the intellectual reading requirements of the region !! 
    
    	- Robin......

Give Waterstones a ring. They can usually supply any book which is publised
in the Irish Isles. There is no need to contact Cork. 

It is available in Waterstones in Dublin. I will get it and send it on if you
wish.

    I contacted Kenny via mail on Monday to tell him that I have a friend
    who owns an Irish Gift Shop, and this friend was going to contact 
    their book distributor in New York to see if they have the book in stock.
    
    If the book is available, it will be mailed directly to me from N.Y.

Re: .15 & .16

keVin, if you can get me a copy, I'll send a postal money for the amount
plus postage (let me know what it will cost to ship to Canada via air).
If it is not available in the US, I can send a cheque for the amount
written against my Irish bank account to the Dublin Digital office (Ted
Egri knows me there if you wish a reference).

Pat    

    
    
    	Pat: "IF" I am able to locate the book, and "IF" Kenny no longer
             wants/needs the book, then I'll gladly send it to you instead.
    
    
    
    	keVin
    

    Sorry folks for not answering direct,I've been having some trouble
    sending mail messages to anyone who is not in the Ayr plant.
    In answer to your question Kevin;I still want the book if you can get
    it.If not I will explore the alternative suggestions made by others.
    So hold fast everyone and watch this space.
    I would like to take the oppertunity to thank everyone for their
    efforts on my behalf,I am most grateful.
    Remember if there is anything you need that dear auld Alba can provide
    just drop me a line.

Kenny, keVin.  Could either of you point me to the source of this book
so that I might get a copy also?  I'll pay big coin!

Pat

    
    
    	Sorry Lads ... NO LUCK !!!!!
    
    
	The publishing house in New York was unable to locate any
    	U.S. based supplier for this book.   :-(
    
    
    	Maybe 817.15 is the way to go .....
    
    
    
    	keVin
    

Jeez lads.  It's very hard to follow the ramblings in this
note with the response I'm getting from TALLIS.

Anyway, I'm back home to Dublin next week for a flying
visit (pun intended).  I'm living (actually that's
probably too strong a word, try surviving) in Taxachusetts
the rest of the time.

I'll be in Dublin and can probably pick up a copy or two
and mail it to those interested, either from Dublin or
from Boston after I get back.

Mail me if you want me to try this for you.

Bernard

    Re. 817.15,
    It looks like you are on Mr.Brennan(as in on the moor).
    I will take the book any way you can get it,paperback,hardback or
    whatever.
    If you let me know the cost plus package and post I will send you a
    cheque for the amount before you buy it.
    I promise I won't use a cheque from my rubber book.
    
    
                                                     Awrabest
    
    
                                                       Kenny.
    
    P.S. why can't I get a mail message to you ? Every time I try I get the
         bum's rush.

You cannot send me a mail because I hide in a  stone. The mail man has not 
found the way into the stone yet. 

Next time try " All - In Bits " ,Martin Brennan
					@DBO

That Gremlin knows where I live.

Book Costs 3 pounds 55 IR. and is available at Waterstones. I will pick it up
and send it on.

	MBR

Martin, I received the book on Thursday, 29 Nov. and started to read
it immediately.  Thanks once again, and let me know when you have received
the cheque.  I haven't forgotten the pint, or two, that I owe you and
should be able to repay you in the Spring.

Pat

I am glad to see that it arrived safely.
