Well it’s easily known who them feminists were: you’d spot them a mile away. They’re paying for it now. Look girls, we all know there’s signs everywhere these days about keeping your headlights dipped but girls there nothing like having your full heads on to get a man’s attention.

Saint Patrick on the Reek.
New evidence suggests that the time St. Patrick spent on Croagh Patrick, (The Reek), outside Westport, in the fifth century AD may not have been the 40 days and 40 nights of penance we were told about at school.
A recent excavation at the top of the mountain has found that there was in fact a thriving community there at the time the saint lived. Indeed the original 2 meter square excavation pit of an ancient structure near the summit has expanded and now covers an area of more than 34,000 square feet. Features uncovered include over 300 bedrooms, four large areas that look like swimming pools, some form of ancient steam room, 8 Jacuzzi’s and a large hall possibly used as a recreational drinking area.
Dr. Erin O’ Ratheillaigh-Wong says that the evidence collected so far indicates The Reek was the site of the biggest Inn and Health Spa outside of the Roman Empire.
“The greatest mystery”, she said, “is not who built it or how it was built, but how in the name of God they got planning for it”.

Cllr Miley Madden’s Five Point Plan
Well after all the wheelin’ and dealin’ The Village Notes can exclusively reveal that popular Councillor Miley Madden will be standing as an Independent in the forthcoming general election. He’s calling his campaign ‘Puttin’ the ura (euro) back into Rural’.
It’s a plan to rejuvenate rural areas and he’ll be launching it at the community centre next Thursday night. Speaking to The Village Notes he said:
“All Mayo has got from the famous five over the last few years is politics in noddyland. They can’t even get on with one another: fighting about who will get to the top of the poll first and who has the biggest van. Sure that shower above in Dublin are only laughin’ at them.
Yer man in the black coat is camped up above in North Mayo living as a hippy giving out pills – sure he has to stay somewhere when they keep throwing him out of the Dail. Ringo is behind in Westport delivering free bread to pensioners from his new van. Kenny, the brainy nice guy is squeaky clean but who ever took that sort seriously in politics: if he never got things for people who didn’t deserve them then sure what business has he being a politician. Then there’s Bev, a grand girleen, she was the only one of them that ever bought me a pint-she wouldn’t take no for an answer. It’s a pity she didn’t buy Charlie Bird a pint in time or arrange a dose of Bird flu for him. That’s four, but there’s one more. I can’t for the life of me remember the name. I think she lives over in the east somewhere. Is her name Geraldine McCarthy?”

Cllr. Miley Madden's Hiace
He was spotted at the back of the house during the week washing th’aul hiace van. Apparently young Joey ‘the spanner’ Houlihan is putting some seats in it. There’s no formal announcement yet but there’s no doubt Miley has something up his sleeve. I’d say his name will be on the ballot paper. Watch this space!

Fr. Fiachra’s Erection
As ye know he wants to rebuild the church spire. Sure it’s very few priests who don’t want to leave some sort of construction after them. Sure wasn’t aul Fr. Flood responsible for the development of the football pitch and the car park. It was no harm calling the pitch after him; the feckin’ thing is waterlogged half the year. Rumour had it that Fr. Fiachra was going to do the full monty if he got enough sponsorship for the spire. Well I can tell ye now that that was only gossip among the aul’ wans. Didn’t Old Betty Brogan say she’d pay a week’s pension to see him and wouldn’t mind if she ended up having a stroke.
“I’ll definitely have a stroke if I get close enough.”
Anyway it’s not going to happen. Fr. Fiachra is organising a fund raising fashion show instead. He’s looking for models at the moment. Let ye contact him on the email: frfiachra@eircom.net
