Agent Taid,

... and at least we all know how that one is pronounced, without any ambiguity:

    "NORN IRON" !

This is, of course, a (strict) subset of the Province of "Alster".
[About which I have a funny anecdote ...]

Agent DD,

Yes, but "Its what the Lady wants" that really matters ...

So, Chocs Away!

I'll drop "KILWARLIN" in to the ring also.
[This is a manor lying to the SW of Lisburn.

Now are you in "Belle-Fest", "Bill-Faast", or "Bale Fairsht"?

Suppose we could try to make a baleful feast out of this ...
