General Chat

Just to keep RR company & to antagonise the other reader:-

1. Contrary to local gossip, I have never kissed the Blarney Stone.
2. I dislike the taste of Guinness.
3. Despite my failing eyesight, I can still easily tell at a glance the difference between Irish whiskey & Scotch whisky.
4. I was 18 before I ever travelled on a train.
5. In 2002, I had a photo taken with Mary McAleese at Bristol University while she was President of Ireland (1997-2011) on the occasion of her being awarded an honorary ‘Doctor of Laws’ degree. The photo was published in a national newspaper.

You will never antagonise me, Dermot :-D

Did Rose give her ring back to you, too :-S

BC :-)

I returned the first one when we got 'disengaged', the second one I kept for a long time, but sold last year when gold was a good price and I needed the money for D's birthday lol, ( also because having seen him post on FB I was of a mind to think he was not the same man I used to love with such a passion ) .

It made about the same as it cost originally, but I asked the jeweller if she could manage to remove the amethyst could I keep it, which I have. Sentimental to the last :-(

My bil's family provided a safe house for Michael O'Coileain (probably about 1919?). They lived in Birkenhead and his mother was 7 at the time.

When Lord Lieutenant Fitzalan remarked that Collins had arrived seven minutes late for a 16 January 1922 ceremony, Collins replied, "We've been waiting over seven hundred years, you can have the extra seven minutes"

1. I was very young when I was born.
2. I worked 34 years for the same employer.
3. My paternal grandmother was baptised in 1879 at Knock church - the year of The Apparition there.
4. Pope JP2 made a Papal visit there in 1979 - to honour the 100th anniversary of The Apparition. Poor granny didn’t get a mention.
5. I’m still trying to fill-in the questionnaire supposedly requested by our current Pope Frankie. It’s online - if anyone is interested. My brain hurts.

I think Dermot should put up his own thread now:

*1000 things you don't know about me*.

;-) :-D

lolololololololol Wend....that did make me LOL :-D


But they are interesting though :-)

Wend - I've ran out of words now!

Tomorrow's another day Dermot :-D <3

Two questions:

I would like to know what Rose deleted (No. 2) because I bet that was the most interesting of all ;-)

Also, why does Mersey burn wood for a hobby - is that a ******** (can't think of the word - Rose will tell me!) for something else?

Dermot could do the verses and John could do the chorus

Wend for me to know and you to find out :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

I think you are very interesting Dermot I cant believe you was 18yrs when you 1st went on a train.

Here are somethings the voices........ :-0 I mean my mind knows about you.

Susanwiv ....you often look in the mirror and wonder which one is the real you.

Mersey ....... someone one has your special braclet if will come back to you.

Wend..................who is that lady in the red winter coat watching your every move ;-)

****Faints***

I have a red winter coat but I do have better things to do than watch Wend.

tsk gypsy Hayley....what I really want to know is when I will win tut lottery.

Is the wood burning to do with artistically burning wood Mersey.....as in poker wood burning like the Victorians did?

I too would like to know what Rose's 2 is.
