Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Drumacarrow is in a bitter feud with the next village over who owns the rights to the best sunset view, and they’ve been shouting about it for years now.

Explorer Tom Drumbannan Fort in Cavan would tell you everything if you just bought it a few pints of stout and got it properly warmed up and relaxed.

Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
