My geography is also terrible, maybe someone else can help with this. Balnimor is near the northern border, near Carrick-on-Shannon, in County Lietram (again with my spelling!). I don’t have a map, sorry. I sure am less-than-useless today! ---

I don’t have a map, sorry. Leitrim. Absolutely nowhere near Cork. Sorry! ---

Bad news, Spiritus, Twisty’s got a prior commitment he can’t back out of. If any of our new lot of Irish dopers wants to make the trip I’m still up for it but hopefully you’ll understand I don’t really want to make it all by myself. Can you talk your company into letting you stay another week, and then coming to LondonDope? ---

So, appealing idea, but not this time. Sorry. ---

> [@](#): > > Can you talk your company into letting you stay another week, and then coming to LondonDope? I wish. They are already complaing that I will be gone this ling (except the manager in Cork, who is complaining that I can’t give him enough time.) _sigh_ You mean I will go all the way to Ireland and I _still_ can’t find a doper to drink with me? How pathetic is that. Maybe I should change my name to _pariah mundi_ 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/irish-dopers-who-wants-a-pint/46727.md?page=1)
