That's the family tree sorted then. What about a family circle? That means listing all
4 Grandparents
8 G Grandparents
16 GG Grandparents
32 GGG Grandparents
64 GGGG Grandparents (assuming nobody has a speech impediment)

Have our family tree back to the 14 th century,a lot of hard work over many years by my Father and a distant relation in Australia.Remember as a young lad being trailed around graveyards looking for headstones ,hated it :'(

I thought that would be impossible unless you are either royalty or a criminal?

The board is quiet enough for decent topics these days without cordoning off the soccer threads into their own little section. Leave them where they are. There is only a few of them anyway.


Agreed, their are really only 4 main soccer threads that regularly surface, Celtic, Man U, Liverpool and FAI/Ireland thread, as has been said already by another poster, the reason for the large number of threads atm is primarially (sp) the time of year. So bad idea, having visited OWC and seen the way a board cvan end up being segmented to death, it's just confusing and not worth it.

Oh jeez no. Are you okay? Did they try to knock your windows in? Did you wash afterwards?

A farmer sent his wife to the market to by a bull. Her instructions were to send him a telegram once she'd bought the bull. He would then drive in and help her home with it.

On the way to the market, the wife saw a beautiful pair of shoes, which she bought. Later when she bought the bull, she went to the telegram office, but having purchased the shoes she found she could only afford a telegram with one word. So, she sent a telegram with the word "comfortable".

My ancestors once owned what is now Tayto Castle. Till the British came......

Sweet! There's been a lot written about your ancesters. I once went to the clan reunion in Mullaghbawn, and gave some Yank a Poyntzpass football jersey.

Is the OWC's "we exist" campaign not working? Or is it only for soccer?

At the Verizon Heritage PGA golf event at the weekend, Rory McIlroy had a tricolour beside his name.

Anyone else see the Taoiseach at the Offaly Antrim match today? He looked just like any other fan who had wandered in off the street. Fair play to him.

General discussion / What sort of pet have you?

I've a yellow labrador. What I like the most is the unconditional love.

For example, if you put your dog or your woman in the boot of your car for an hour which one will be happy to see you when you let them out?

Has anyone else traced their family tree? How far back can you go? I'm descended from a gorilla born circa 1780 and lived in County Meath.

General discussion / Soccer is boring

Anyone else think soccer is boring? Unless there is a penalty shoot out it can put me to sleep.

And if you need proof, here's the Simpsons...
