I was going to try "Spirit Guide", like the Native Americans, but I haven't done too well at your quizzes so far, Riadach. silent

Basically, yes. lol. Anamchara is a word frequently used by neo-celtic pagans and new age book writers to describe a soulmate. That, however, is a neologism, and is not its original meaning at all.

Razz really is your favourite avatar, isn't it? I like it, it gives you a winning cheeky chappy persona. Guess the county where the other one is.

Is it leopardstown? I should really know if it is because I know the daughter of the course manager.

I'm not much into racing myself but I have been to Leopardstown on a few occasions for the fun of it. More into show jumping.
