Oh I was a murdering thug who killed, plundered and ravaged at will
Actually, I can think of a few politicians who could put that on their resume!

oh my gosh deirdyweirdy..oh you're talking about in the old days before modern communications when people were easy to keep in the dark right?
Yeah, back when I was young!
in your younger days in Ireland...hey speaking of which, of Ireland..one of the most successful pirates of all time was a woman pirate from Ireland!
I think she captured like 300 or 400 ships or something amazing like that, probably one of your ancestors! she wasn't sweet like you though she was pretty mean.
I will probably do a post about her at least in honor of you.
Yes indeed, Gráinne Mhaol. Definitely one of my ancestors;)
oh is she a famous folk hero to this day?
Well I don't know about the kids nowadays who seem to know very little about anything, but anyone my generation would know the song 'Óró sé do Bheatha Abhaile' which is dedicated to her.
oh wow, what are the words in English?
is it something fairly accurate or wild fantasy?
thank you deirdyweirdy that is very interesting!
do people still speak Gaelic there?
