even an echo chamber now - looks as though the boredom has killed has affected our posters - ah well at least the weather is impriving up here. The first leaves are appearing on the fruit trees - blossom comes next.
Happy Easter and good luck all...
Would love to contribute - but am at a loss to know why our kitchen porter even bothers - when he is so obviously already secured so comfortably. Could it be that he has a seat in Dail or is he a fugitive oporating beyond the reach of the CAB and has to pass the time by annoying us on here.
Just a thought - good luck all
Many happy returns PatMcG - good to see you again - we must go back to the days of GrahamD and dear old Coggy who used to have so much fun with Radar. I'm sure they are all still about - BUT like me, find little to enthuse about amongst the cat fights....
Good luck all We also had dear old Johnfitz as well - must be sitting on a fortune now..he knew his stuff..
Hope it works out better than the last consolidation when I was MUGGED - no other way to express their actions - but then why should they behave any differently, they are a bank after all with UK tutors..
At last - but where too now? - I note the Barclay prediction, which sounds like summer is coming, but like a few on here we have met "Fortune Tellers" before.
May consider a strategic move into another of our national ponies and take a little profit at the same time - am now watching this space...
Good luck all..
Cork is a place that I know well and indeed had one or two good nights in the Arcadia - whole bunch of cousins down there although I have lost two of them over the last year or so.
Great city and very industrious people and can never forget Joe Mac and The Dixies and the great hops in the summer at Collins Tennis Club - hot nights in the summer both there and in Kinsale.
Now there's for you boy.......

You sum it up well El-G - strangely my neice has her flat in Clapham - which as Peter Sellers said long ago about Balham - "Balham Gateway to the South" visited the Aranmore a few times when Larry Cunningham was over and had a good night afterwards with the Band - good days indeed.
Still plenty of money in London and how many skyscrapers even in Ealing - shame for the people near The Broadway that have houses with gardens - their sunlight must be restricted now with the very tall buildings. The planning seems now to be the same in Dublin - progress indeed - God Help Us
Good Luck all...
Greengrass - "YOU HAD TO BE THERE THEN" - whatever about modern day restaurants and there cost, you had to have been there amongst all the young people in The Hibernian or The Galtymore when the bands were over. The atmosphere was truly uplifting, which is why I suspect the crowds were so large but still well behaved FOR THE MOST PART drink did make one or two a little too brave occasionally.
Nobody is denying that for many the conditions in which they lived were pretty dire or that the work was arduous and often dangerous particularly when new stretches of the underground were being constructed under London. Those men worked in the most arduous conditions often relying on a pick and shovel - friendships were forged then which have never been broken only being severed by death.
The only way that I am able to convey that relationship is to describe it as a brotherhood because, in those days amongst the Irish there was always a helping hand amongst that community.
The Irish pubs were real too - many times I was able to have lunch in the kitchen of The Britannia in Hammersmith Broadway with Anne from Kenmare and Eddie from Dublin the licencee's who kept the best Guinness for miles. We enjoyed some good lock-ins there till daylight in great company.
London is not the same now - there are not the same opportunities to mix amongst your own and meet the girl - as I did - in The Garyowen whilst dancing to the Kingdom Showband. We don't dance that much these days but we are still together.
I have a niece and three nephews in London - they are all doing well thank god but you have to be young these days to live their lifestyle.
Amen.....
Not quite sure what dca means but am in profit again and at last with my much reduced holding thanks to the re-valuation - one share for 30 - still never mind I've had two dividend cheques.
Lost the first one - I know that it is in the house somewhere but sure the second one made up for it because the bank did what I asked them and deposited it in sterling with my other bank.
Just back from my second visit to London since October - stayed on the outskirts the first time to visit with the Colleens sister and brother - this time we were in Ealing where I started in 1970 because the tube took me into town as they say. We stayed in The Premier Inn on Ealing Broadway because it was close to The Abbey and we all enjoy The Premier breakfast.
Unfortunately this visit was necessary because the Colleens brother died in part due to the clumsy care of the NHS in Ealing Hospital as well as an underlying condition which we will never discover now.
The funeral in The Abbey was a most wonderfully "IRISH" occasion - apart from the celebrant who lost the Tabernacle key and had to request ministers to come to the altar, which two of the sisters were able to serve. After the Mass to Mortlake Crematorium (where Margaret Thatcher and Tommy Cooper were consumed) the accompanying music was provided by the Dubliners - Ronnie and Luke closing with Macalpines Fusiliers which annoyed the priest we were happy to see.
Then on to the Wake at The Old Hat on the Broadway where to my absolute delight I was able to shake the hands of so many of the men who worked with him - before they too fade away - the bar of course was free all evening which was great. Boy those fella's were the real thing - rough tongs and even rougher hands. It stirred so many memories of those days fifty years ago when it was fun to be in London amongst the Irish.
It's nearly all gone now - buried under Skyscrapers and traffic zones - all the restaurants that we visited are all foreign owned and very expensive for the poor food - thank god I am not starting now, but I do feel sorry for the sons and daughters going over now to live a rather lonely life in a very expensive flat or more realistically share a flat with the united nations.
I can honestly say that having travelled from Dublin Port on Stenna to Holyhead and back to Dublin in the dark, I was very pleased to take the M1 out of it - it is no longer the Dublin I knew - thank god for the Mournes and the golf course.
Must say in closing that I am becoming almost pleased with our share.....
Good luck all.
May I be the first to extend greetings and best wishes for Christmas to all our patient and previously afflicted sufferers now that we are seeing bluer waters.
Our gang are assembled since yesterday at the BIG house in Belfast and we will join them tommorrow for our traditional blow out - this year we are to be joined by a lot of my daughters new neighbours for drinks over Boxing Day - they are a great crowd even though some of them are not in the GAA.
Good luck all - here's to twelve in the New Year PG

You posted to Hotdog on this forum I presume in error - haven't seen a post from Hotdog in a while because he is no doubt still enjoying a nice drop of the red grape.
Never mind, the content of your post was interesting and informative and proved to me that I was wise to give AIB a miss - this share has been annoying enough - thank goodness my golf is well improved.
Good luck mee boyo.....
At last we are in positive territory for me - yes we are paying for Putins war BUT we are only parting with money - we have not lost our homes and employment and been forced to live in another country.
Well past the time this troublemaker was settled along with his bunch of depraved primitives - which will also soften the cough of his Chinese friends - who have bought so many of his fireworks and weapons that proved to be ready for re-cycling.
The Ukraneans are saying that the worlds number one army is also the world record holder for speed of retreat - as Joe Biden said "GO GET UM."
Good luck all....
