Well if he is anything like the Irish "former millionaires " who went bust and bankrupted there will be no fear of him running out of money.

Re: Where the #### is Murph?
Hi all, I just saw a link on another site to my vid posted here by dMan, great site, so I signed up and since I'll be back in Ireland in end of Feb I'd be interested in meeting up with anyone who would like to.
I have no idea of my schedule, no idea where I'm staying, I usually camp, but I'd be glad of some below riders to point me in the right direction. I guess I should go over to the 'Introduce yourself' thread. Thanks to dMan for posting the vid. Murph
