A friend of mine on the forum just asked me via pm to ask the question, won't name him but he often rides a horse and is a bit dense, didn't want to out himself though.

Tbf, Cowboy is correct in his assertation. There was not enough information given to link the two. Not sure on @malfosse's explanation either. Where are the sources??



What's 'Southern' Ireland?

That would be the south as opposed to the north. Which is my point.

Not until you admit it's a very sketchy link.

Technically that would only be correct if you used 'The Republic', as 'Southern' Ireland would literally mean the south part of 'Ireland', which obviously couldn't be more Northerly than the 'Northern'!

What part of 'Fanny Adams being a complete mess' not bearing any relation to 'a complete absence of something' are you not seeing?
