    Nicest ones I ever saw?

    Big? Jeaasus but that's an easy one. Bridgette Mulcahy at the Ship-Fitters Ball down in Wexford in 1988. They were huge-- like dinner plates they were. All of the lads were bowled over when she took 'em out and offered to pass 'em around. Round and full-- absolutely glorious they were. And smooth as smooth could be, the result of decades of them being passed back and forth between friends on a chilly winter's night. And did I say full? I did not! But let me tell you mother's milk could never have been sweeter. No never.

    In the end I think she ended up selling them, at least I saw a pair of Irish Georgian silver cantle flasks very much like them on Antiques Road Show a few years later. I think the man who was the expert said they were priceless...

    Actually my favorite flask is emblazoned with the arms of George Way of Plean, and I won it off him in a bet!

    Did you jump your horse over a seven-foot fence by candlelight?
