Have it already saved. She's a hardy woman, lives on her own, faculties still intact thank god. Apparently she's the oldest person in the parish, she's buried 2 sons in the last 18 months or so which was hard for her.

It's a fantastic site, found my granny one it, she was 1 when the census was recorded. With a bit of luck she'll be celebrating her 100th birthday in November.

tir na og failed to show up for their game v granemore , ref was on the pitch .
thats no game for granemore since they played dromintee in the championship , since that game granemore have lost their corner back [ discolated shoulder ] and full back [ broken leg ]
not looking good for us with the game v st pats next week  :( .
This was probably due to the death of our manager's mother at the weekend. It would appear that no one informed Granemore, etc.

My son once asked me why there were loads of Tyrone flags flying in Portadown.

Can you still get a 'Cash Special' in the Ashburn? Buckfast, Southern Comfort & white. Rough stuff. Anyone ever drink Clan Dew or mad dog?

A biology teacher at my old school was rather aptly called Paddy Ennis.

I think Marsden would be perfect for a role in the new management team.


But I believe that his job in the Ulster council rules him ( and anyone else in the Ulster council for that matter ) out.
I wouldn't be so sure, Gary Mallon who was part of McDonnell's backroom team works with the Ulster Council.

And if yu still havent read it, Im still looking for something as grippingas the Da Vinci Code.
Did you not think that "Angels and Demons" was more gripping?


True but they are very similar in characters (excusing Rob L) and theme, as is Deception Point. It might be a case of - whichever one you read first.

If you like the secret society - murder mystery type book try Foucaults Pendulum. It's was recommended to me by a friend as "best book I ever read" but I found it tough going. Good at times but hard work at times too.

I read that myself a while ago was tough going alright. Finishing off Christopher Brookmyre's a big boy did it and ran away before starting Sunnyside, Glen David Gold's follow up to Carter Beats the Devil.

Hope this goes well for you. You should send a poster/flyer to Tír na nÓg, where your father was well regarded.
