Wendy: are ‘the williamites’ people that support William of orange?
Barstaff: I don’t know, my history is not very good and I’m not from round these parts (Irish accent)
Wendy: where are you from?
Barstaff: Cork
Wendy: can you visit Cork on day trips?
Barstaff: No. It’s only the third week of term and already I’ve got 3 projects to do.
Wendy: That’s tough. If you didn’t have the projects would it be possibile to do a day trip to Cork?
Barstaff: It’s 2hrs by car, that’s too far for a day trip. you could do it ….but…. and the trains are expensive, it cost 58 Euro to get to Dublin. Everythings really expensive around here.
… Later ….
Wendy: I live in America. Americans seem to love all things Irish
Barstaff: I thought I heard an American accent! American troops stop at Shannon airport to refuel their planes on the way to Iraq. We encourage them to leave the airport and spend some money here.
Wendy: When i flew in I saw about eight US Marines in desert uniform at Shannon airport. Desert Uniform in the rain!
