Well, it's not clear to me whether the vote for "By-Ways" was mine or
somebody else's, but if it was somebody else's then I vote for
"By-Ways".

Of course Wild Rover is Irish... not!!

And it's an interesting example of multiple negation... not!! Just a
simple case of vehement denial  :)

Wow, it's true... if you add "not!!" after a sentence it makes it
funny... not!!

Thanks and OK, Sandy. (Not NOT.)

Yes, that one is you.  You did sound like voting, albeit under duress.  So
consider yourself counted.

So "The Wild Rover" is not Irish?  Everyone and their uncle claims it is.
Don't make me eat crow or whatever!
