GAA County Nicknames:

Carlow: “The Dolmen County” 

Carlow is nicknamed this for good reason: Some of Europe’s most impressive ancient burial chambers, or dolmens (meaning “table of stone”), stand in the green fields of picturesque Cavan. 

Brownshill Dolmen, just outside of Carlow town, and Haroldstown Dolmen, near Tullow, are two of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological sites and are visited by thousands of tourists each year. 

The Carlow GAA team are also sometimes referred to as The Barrowsiders, in a nod to the River Barrow. Another wildcard nickname for Carlow’s GAA team are The Scallion Eaters, in reference to the fact that most of the province’s onions were grown in Carlow in the nineteenth century. 

 

Groaner of the Week:

Two men were building a timber house. One man picked up a nail, hammered it in, picked up another nail, threw it away. After that, he picked up another nail and hammered it in, picked up another nail, threw it away. After this had been going on for some time, his workmate finally came over and asked him why he was throwing away half the nails.

“It’s obvious,” he said. “Those nails were pointed at the wrong end.”

“How could you be so stupid?” said his colleague. “They were for the other side of the house!”

I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows, and if I want to go out, I must break through the wall. What am I?
