Hi Genebo, sure do. I have had that stud/prefix name since 1974. My original thing was breeding Irish Setters since 1974, and I came up with Carragheen to fit in with the dogs, a very Irish sounding name. Tossed up between that and Caherciveen but that had already been used some years before. It's actually a type of seaweed found on the west coast of Ireland, and it is commonly used in food processing as an alternative to gelatine, or at least carrageenan is(setting agent isolated from carragheen). When we got Dexters it fitted to a T, but not a great stud name for Araucana chickens or Wiltipoll sheep. I have Irish grandparents on both sides of the family, so have a soft spot for Ireland. I feel very at home when I have visited there, Irish are wonderful people and have the greatest personalities, wonderful sense of humour. Hi C, yes FIGJAM is a great saying, so apt for some people. Trust an aussie to come up with it. Australians have some truly great sayings, most very unpolitically correct, or should I say politically incorrect. LOL. regards Louise

For those not familiar with this acronym, five of the letters in it stand for "I'm Good Just Ask Me." I was not aware it was an Australianism.

maybe it was just a thingy bird-ism? The other one I really like is 'crack a wobbly' . cheers, me.
edited to say: haha, I forgot this site doesn't allow any potential inappropriate language and converts the short form of Richard to 'thingy'.. Too funny.

That is exactly what happened to our previous butcher. We cracked a wobbly with him and changed butchers. Amazing the much higher yield we get now!
