Ted-Fight

Isabel blogged about Ted-Stock on Inis Mór. According to the BBC a row is brewing, in marvellous Ted style, between the people of Inis Oirr and the people of Inis Mór over ownership of the memory of Ted.

It seems, at the time of writing, that the Friends of Ted site has downed a bottle of Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozy Snooze, but the Aran Islands website does seem to indicate a certain dominant tone on the part of the big island.

Will the other two islands secede?

Go on, go on!

The perfect weekend away for the Fr Ted fan who has everything: the inaugural "Ted-stock" festival on Inis Mor!

Organisers have apparently had to do no advertising; word of mouth has ensured that 100 fans will be travelling to the Aran islands on 23 February.

Three special ferries will be making the trip; the Mrs Doyle, the Fr Jack and the Dougal and dressing up as either a cleric or a house-keeper will be de riguer!

Activities for the weekend include a Lovely Girls contest, a Ferrero Rocher quiz night, a Father Jack cocktail evening and even a priests and nuns five-a-side football tournament.

Inis Mor has a lot of fodder for the hardened fan including a hill-fort half on land and half at the bottom of the Atlantic...and a winter ferry service which more closely resembles submarine travel!

Great fun!
