Martin Milners are common as mud, and I've been mistaken for a few in my time, but I was very suprised one day when driving with my father through west Birmingham (UK), when he mentioned that a friend of his, Peter Crane, used to live in the area. I also had a friend Peter Crane who lived in the area. Not the same bloke, either.

I have a great album of Irish-style sea chanteys and songs sung by Dan Milner. He's a great Milner.Martin Milner wrote:Martin Milners are common as mud, and I've been mistaken for a few in my time, but I was very suprised one day when driving with my father through west Birmingham (UK), when he mentioned that a friend of his, Peter Crane, used to live in the area.

apparently I'm the contact person at Communicare Nursing Agency in Dublin....so if you need a job in nursing in the Dublin area, I guess I'm the one to call. I wonder if they'll patch the calls over to me here in Ohio?
One time I found out that I'd been arrested in Massachusetts for selling marijuana when I did a Google search on my name. Apparently I had quite a bit too because I seem to recall my bond being rather high (according to the article anyway). I'm just glad I found out because it would have been rather awkward to find out in a job interview or something.
But I mostly have found my name separated in some essay or whatever about Gen. Patrick Sarsfield and his troops marching through the Heather or something . Sarsfield isn't a very common name here in the US it seems. I have no idea if it is in Ireland or not, at least outside of Co. Limerick.
As for my telephone number, it seems to be close to the number for the police department here in my town. We've gotten quite a few calls from exceedingly intoxicated individuals calling about someone annoying them at 2:00 in the morning. And despite all efforts, it's impossible to convince them that they haven't reached the police department at all, and they tell us to get over to their house right away. Loads of fun!

"Me owd mucker" in the north of England means "my old friend." "Muck" generally means dirt or grime. Another saying is "where there's muck there's brass," "brass" meaning money in this case. It refers to the profitability of the more polluting industries of the industrial revolution. To "muck in" means to get in there and help with a will. Then, if you have horses, you can "muck out" the stables - self-explanatory, eh! "Muck" is also used in a favourable way by gardeners when they're talking about that most valuable of commodities, well-rotted manure. Hence, farmers and gardeners talk about "muck-spreading."Doug_Tipple wrote:"muck", now there's a good word. As a high school teacher, I wouldn't use that word in my classroom for fear of being misunderstood. As a young man, I used to help some small miners in Arizona. I was their "mucker", which means I shovelled out crushed rock from the mine.
