GAA County Nicknames:
Clare: “The Banner County”
“Up the ban!” is every die-hard Clare hurling fan’s battlecry.
But where does this saying come from? Clare’s nickname has stuck over the years due to its residents’ long-standing political custom of carrying banners – a tradition which stretches back all the way to the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.
Groaner of the Week:
A man walks into a bar, and it's empty - it's just him and the barman. He sits down and orders a drink.
He hears someone whisper, "Pssst...I like your tie."
The man looks around but doesn't see anyone.
"Pssst...that color looks nice on you."
He asks the barman, "Excuse me, but...are you speaking to me?"
The barman rolls his eyes and says, "No, sorry about that. It's the peanuts... they're complimentary."
Riddle of the Week:
Come a riddle, come a riddle, rot, tot, tot. / A little wee man with a red, red coat; / A stick in his hand a stone in his throat. / Come a riddle, come a riddle, rot, tot, tot. What is it?
Seanfhocail na Seachtain:

Brain Teaser:
Four people arrive at a river with a narrow bridge that can only hold two people at a time. It’s nighttime and they have one torch that has to be used when crossing the bridge. Person A can cross the bridge in one minute, B in two minutes, C in five minutes, and D in eight minutes. When two people cross the bridge together, they must move at the slower person’s pace. Can they all get across the bridge in 15 minutes or less?
Answers to this week’s puzzles:

- Finally, A and B cross again. This takes another 2 minutes.
