No more maidens dancing at the crossroads; instead, Riverdance and everyone driving Mercs and Beemers. No more tooraloora lullabies; not when we have U2. And a corporate lawyer living in Cork explains that it's even okay to be an Anglophile these days: "You can admit you listen to the BBC."
Yes, that's listen to the BBC. Because, of course, they still don't have television down there.
