RE: Kilkenny People

Hi M..
You still barred from the Caman....stay off drunken buses and you will be okay

RE: Kilkenny People

I think that people are people regardless of where they are from but there are certain places that I enjoy spending time in more than others.
I lived in Dublin for three and a half years in the early 80's... Not meaning to generalize here but I thought that the Dubs were amazing. I worked with people from The inner city, from the Northside and the Southside..all different areas. I found that the Dubs that I met had a fantastic sense of humour. Twenty seven years later I am still friends with some of them (We meet up now and again for tea and a bun on pension day...have to say, I never would have thought that swopping hip replacement stories could be so entertaining
)
I lived in a very rural area in Ireland some years ago and I found that some people were very down on the Dubs. I said to one guy that I was sorry that he obviously had had a bad experience of working with or knowing Dublin people...knowing damn well that he had only ever travelled within a 6 mile radius of his hometown of idiotsville ....He said..."shhuure I never go to Dublin"
Have to say that I find Donegal people really friendly and in particular in Ballyshannon, I am a blow in but people are really nice.
I think that now because we all move around so much that it does not really matter where you are originally from. There is good and bad everywhere. I know people from all over... Jeez...there are even some people from Cork that I think are okay
(Cork statement directed at one bad tour guide on here ...The Lough Like )

RE: Do you get many Emails here

Hiya Mary

RE: 50 Book Challenge 2010

Now,now Mary..dont be knocking the chick lit What is wrong with a bit of fluff...not much concentration required? suits me
I have whiled away manys an hour reading some of it. Have read Marian Keyes and Catherine Kelly..kills an hour and you do not have to try and figure out devious minds...jmo
I read anything,cereal boxes...Coors light cans
Did you know that when the Rocky Mountain icon turns blue...your coors light is ice cold and ready to drink?
Anyway...thinking of writing my own chick lit book.....what do you think?
Meredith, from Kildare, is living the dream in London, 1.4 kids, they attend the proper schools and are properly attired i.e. no Dunne’s Stores uniforms.
Her husband Graham or Greg (I have not decided on the name yet) has a deep dark secret… Meredith thinks he is having an affair…turns out he has used their life savings to invest in a dodgy company…
They have to move home penniless to her grandmother’s cottage in Co. Longford.
Nuala and Seamus (yes I am sure about their names) are childhood sweethearts living in Offaly.
They have 4.0 kids, a dog and a people carrier. They appear to be very happy but Nuala feels very alone as Seamus spends a lot of time away from home as a salesman for wavin pipes…
AnnMarie lives in Co. Westmeath; she has always been the solid reliable one since the three girls shared a dormitory in the Convent of No Mercy in Granard.
AnnMarie has been taking care of her elderly parents who own the pub/grocery in Spinstertown, Westmeath.
AnnMarie spends her time walking her dog, an exuberant Golden Retriever who she calls Krispie.Underneath her fleecy tracksuits,AnnMarie has lost the pounds that have dogged her since her teenage years..(No pun intended!) (Note to self. get a dog so I can lose weight )
Unbeknown to Meredith and Nuala, AnnMarie now has her own secret….while walking Krispie…she has become involved with a German author who was doing research in the area….
So what do you think?
By the way Mary, I am only joking, I know that you were not dismissing any kind of literature

RE: 50 Book Challenge 2010

Yeah, I got that as a gift last Christmas, really enjoyed it.
Isn't Saoirse Ronan in the film? I remember seeing her dad Paul Ronan in the Irish Arts Centre in Manhattan years ago and I remember him saying that he had a wee baby called Saoirse...who knew that she would be on the red carpet one day...think she was just a newborn at the time.
I thought that he was great too, himself and another guy called Ronan Carr were doing a series of skits, without any props and he(Paul Ronan) was great at doing different characters.
Sorry I digress, have read that Tess Gerritsen one about the Miranda Woods character...was afraid she was going a bit "chick lit" on us Mary but I enjoyed it.
Reading "Roadside Crosses" by Jeffrey Deaver now

RE: Would you date someone who does not drink alcohol ?

Well, I am not fussy, sure any day that you have your health is special

RE: Would you date someone who does not drink alcohol ?

I mostly prefer Ballygowan sparkling or if I am being really develish I throw some cranberry juice in there. I dont have a problem with other people drinking though and I will have one or two Coors light at Christmas or Special Occasions
