    Hi Doris.
    You been spying on me or maybe it is Terry Clare's Santa Claus beard which is of interest?

    One of the best moments from the weekend was when Micheál Mac Giolla Coda stood up on his little crate to do the introduction and someone in the front row bent down and picked up a disorientated queen from the ground in front of him.
    Do you think it was a miracle?
    Maybe he can make them drop from the sky at will - a bit like a rain of frogs only in his case it is Galtee queens.
