Laois man lost in Dublin

[Donnacha]

Just joined up recently and the corny group buy tempted me into my first post - so its time to say hi!

From Portlaoise but these days I'm out in Raheny.  Mainly an extract brewer - been at it about two years now and I find it very versatile (and relatively hassle free) so it might be a little while yet before I go all-grain!

Now if I can only find my way back to Newlands Cross I think I know the way home from there!

Welcome aboard. Don't be shy and muck in.

Welcome to the forum! You aren't the only Laois man here btw...   

[Donnacha]

Look's like I'm not the only Phelan here either!!

Thanks for the welcome folks!

Two brewers from Laois who share the same name? Gotta be related   

[Shane Phelan]

Nah there are Phelans everywhere. No NTL in the bog on those long winter nights.

Must be confusing for outsiders reading the local paper and in it the local GAA club results. You could have Phelen saving a penalty being the best defender on the pitch that day playing a long ball to himself and scoring the winning point. Its no wonder Laois are crap at GAA.

Yeah, there's more than a few of us alright

Dempsey is a good Laois name too!
