  2. A Nobber Fable

    Share Share Post
    There is a small village named Nobber about three miles from my home in Kilmainham Wood, Co. Meath, and it is said that long ago a fair was held there every Monday. On one particular Monday two men were making a bargain, then they started to fight over the bargain and one of the men knocked his opponents head off. It rolled down the street and started shouting "Nobber no more on a Monday." This story is said to be perfectly true by no-one knows why the head said these words. A fair was never held there on a Monday since then, but on every second Tuesday in each month.
