Lovely whilst it lasted. Definitely one for beginners and newcomers.
Sadly, it leaves me without an excuse for Mrs Starwalker's grand garden redesign tomorrow.

I totally agree with staurologist that one of the pleasures of 4108, was that it lead to a quotation in a work (unfamiliar to me), which contains some surprisingly modern and, dare I say it, raunchy moments. I might even get my A Level English studying daughter to read something a little off the beaten track, as she's already very keen on a version of the protagonist's earlier life.
Mullingar
I don't think you are missing anything. It is a weakness of the end game that the theme doesn't hold strikingly together, I suppose. An earlier contributor thought that the quotation does seem very modern, and I agree. A repeated word in the quotation is in daily use in connection with the other parts of the theme. Have you stayed in Mullingar, unlike the poor bloke in that song by the Fureys? It always brings a tear to my eye.
