Hi Spider,
Pat Marley educational psychologist lives in Co .Meath alright.I also remember at the time that he did house calls if one was unable to get to his office.

Hi all, My experience of carvery meals is my eyes are bigger than my stomach and i am sure it is the same for a lot of people.All one has to do is ask the staff who are serving your requested meal to give less if one feels the portions may be too much.! It's good for business not to be mean with por...

Earlier today i spent a hour or so writing my thoughts and feelings re the pending Children's Referendum.As i was ready to submit my thoughts the computer logged me out of the site and my article dissipated into thin area,it's dissapeared! In the light of what has been the recent decision before lun...

Thanks KEN.

I use post offices all the time to lodge money into my bank account and to withdraw also.They are also great for obtaining foreign currency.Aib or Nib only though.Great time saver.

To Ken,
I have just noticed that the time that people put up their threads is inaccurate.It appears that some are a hour ahead.Has the clock on this site not been turned back yet.?

Employ local people,keep jobs in the village.! Think of all the petrol you will save never mind the time and inconve...

My condolences to his Family !

Parents are absolutely right in objecting to the unsuitability of the Halloween decorations in the Community centre especially for the younger children.It's a child protection issue!The decorations scare their customers who happen to be children! If the management do not listen and take the most sca...

Congratulations and thank you all for doing a great job.Well done!

Redser will transfer over when Redser knows how bright it is on this side and realises how much Redser is missed.WE don't bite!!

Ken may think i am being dramatic in highlighting what could happen to people and their lives overnight .They may be asleep in bed or out for the day or infirm/elderly and unable to get out quick enough! I have a American friend who had to return to New Orleans to look for a elderly former employee ...

Absolutely frightening photos of the damage.!Once the sea breaches whats left of boundary bank.High tide and strong winds will in the blink of an eye cause death and destruction right through to Donabate together with the watertable rising in Donabate.That will be The Burrow /Portrane and Donabate g...
