For any of you jackeens who wonder, I'd like to declare that yes, there is an Ahascragh. Thank you Sean, of all the villages to pick on, whyfore us? why not Caltra, or gurteen, or Attymon for crying out loud? My school days were ruined, d'you hear me, ruined! Oh the Horror!The Shame! The Black Cadillacs with men in suits looking shifty! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Then again, it's a great icebreaker at student dos, so it all balances out.
Anyone with questions about the fair little village of Ahascragh, please ask. I'll be vague, but I'm a student, so I should have plenty of time to answer things......

"Many issues have you!"
"I suggest he takes some medication for his issues."
note:
"Then again, it's a great icebreaker at student dos, so it all balances out."
I am at peace. And have far, far too much time on my hands.

Wikipedia: Ahascragh
A little village in the west of Ireland, noted for its five pubs, June weekend festival of soccer, and closed down mill. It is situated on the Bunowen river, which is too small for boat navigation and too slow and boring for kayakers to go near, unless you count the sluice gate which can get high enough. Reports of fishing have been rife, but local farmers could not confirm reports.
Ahascragh Parish Council since the early 1970s have tried to mimic the larger towns and cities in their policies. The first example of this was the acceptance of planning permission for a 10-house estate of "affordable housing," as pioneered in places such as Tallaght and Ballymun. The estate soon fell into a similar condition to the murkier parts of cities around the country, as well as acommodating some caravans and one burnt out car from time to time. After the debacle, the Council resigned and was chased from the village by local farmers with pitchforks and tractors in the Mountbellew direction. However, before they could turn their rage on the offending estate, they passed the local establishment, which had seconded as the Council Chambers, and retired in for refreshments.
The Celtic Tiger came to Ahascragh in the form of a petrol station opened in December 1989. This, the first major development in the village for 20 years, created much-needed labour for local workers, who celebrated by retiring to the local establishment for refreshments. The Ahascragh Shopping District was officially declared by the new hastily set-up council the day after, as the existing competing grocer's shop beside the petrol station had applied for permission to extend (which was refused, even after embittered pleas made from both sides during refreshments).
The Square (shaped like a triangle due to budgetary constraints) is unofficialy known as The Entertainment District, but best known by locals as "The Square". The 4 pubs around it hold plenty of atmosphere, and many important decisions are reached within the Square. Wine is frowned upon here, as is anything that can't be called a Lager, a Cider or a Guinness. Locals have been known to complain to guards about the noise, but this stopped after the Parish Comittee settled on the standard response of dancing a conga line in front of the resident's house singing "(complainer's name) IS-A W**-KER! ****-**** is a W**-KER!".
The modern world has made an impact on Ahascragh, with fancy dial-up internety things, local skangars hanging out outside the petrol station with 1 "pimped" Honda Civic, an influx of polish construction workers, and housebuilding, with associated prices, skyrocketing. The biggest change by far was the gradual introduction of alco-pops such as Fat Frogs to the local refreshment menus.
Ahascragh is also known as the birthplace of Phillip Treacy, Mary Harney, and some berk called Sean Moncreiff.

As for how I'm posting? I escaped. across a feild, into the Bunowen, and downstream to the bustling metropolis of................Ballinasloe.

I'll be honest, I've only heard the show twice. It sounds like fun, but a little high-brow for my country tastes. Is it just me or does Sean talk about anything else bar wine?
