He is a massive hero over there.
And Bernardo OâHiggins Chiles first leader was wan of our own.

Brown was wan of our own alright. OâHiggins was disowned by his Irish born father so our grasp of him is a bit more tenuous.
Actually fuck it, sure the Irish built south America.

They came to honour him by raping and pillaging everything in sight. And also complaining about the price of pubs in Ireland.
Are you sure it wasnât just a village people tribute band?

There is a Plaza de O Higgins in most South American towns.
There is also a significant Welsh influence in SA with some hybrid Welsh still spoken in some Argentinian towns.
They speak Welsh in parts of Patagonia. I know a few lads who went over there to teach Welsh a few years ago.

Rubby types no doubt
Turn the corner then and you might hit Calle Juan McKenna or Calle Patricio Lynch.
Yer man from Super Furry Animals has a good doco on itunes where he travelled around Argentina going to the towns where Welsh people would have emigrated to. He is as mad as a box of frogs, but worth a watch.
I was always thinking how come they donât also speak Italian over there today as a main language, as there was a huge amount of eyetalans who moved to Arg/Uruguay.
Apparently, as most of the eyetalans spoke their own dialects, and not eyetalan, they could only communicate with each other in Spanish, so Spanish became the dominant language.

Do they have a league over there (hurling league) or is it just a recreational, ceremonial type sport there.
I know they bring a bunch of rubby players over to Ireland a bit. Not sure about the actual hurling over there. Will find out.
