41d Cyprus Avenue from 1968 one of my fave Van Morrison songs...but ''Avenue'' would mean Sara Bolger whom I have as young Irish actress in 48A is wrong, the first letter would need to be E...

Thanks for Turban though that puts my island of Inishbiggle into doubt-what island do you have??

[starmack]

Island == Inishmurray here in Sligo!
