But Ryder Cup's in September. As mentioned previously,I've a mate in Edinburgh ( remember 40th Kilt etc.) so I hop over quite a bit and have got to several of the famous championship venues. All magic and good value at certain off peak times. Actually got to St.Andrews on the Monday after Tiger won the Open this summer.The grandstands and scoreboards were still up. Rolo. Edited by Rolo |

Yep so what I mean is if there is any chance of him getting tickets for that it will be more like September than May. I sent away for lottery tickets for the Rider cup just after the last one here. I also wrote to them... The things we do...

Hi Eeejit91, Actually had tears in my eyes reading about your Mom, how terrible for you -but what a way to go...I'm lucky too, we've had some close situations but both parents are here 73 & 75 respectively and I depend on them a lot. As for Lenny, we shouldn't be talking about things that are too advanced for him..sure he still belives in Santy...schuuuh Stevie

dont want to sound insensitve or anything eejit, but it sounds like she was having a great time before she passed, and didnt suffer! i lost my father a couple of years ago tocancer and it was a horrible way to go. also lost my younger brother (22) last year which was also pretty rough. he never got to go to the grove, but would have absolutely loved it. we are bringing his girlfriend to the grove on the 27th! |

Jaysus, What a first post for me to pick on after a week off the site. Sitting here in work reading all this with tears in my eyes. Teresa - god rest her as Lenny said it sounds like she had a great time at the end and at least it was quick. Bit over emotional, close aunt is having tests at the mo and its not looking good, but thats life isn't it. Lovely memories of childhood from you all, I'll try and post later if I'm feeling less teary! xgh |

Lenny not insensitive at all - the best way it could ever have went for us and we know that. I am so sorry to hear of your Dad, my own Dad had a pretty rough end. Terrible thing to see. I was only 18. Then to hear of your brother - gosh what a loss. My story was never supposed to be sad just interesting at the end. Edited by eejit91 |

My Ma and Da used to lock the door on Christmas morning so we couldn't see what Santa brought. They'd leave the curtains open a bit in the front of the house so we could see the presents as we went to Mass !!. In Mass you couldn't think of anything but what was in those presents. Then they'd leave a plate with some Christmas cake crumbs and an empty bottle of Guinness. My Da would shout on Christmas morning "He came !!!" . God, the excitment of it all. I used do the same with my 2 lads. Do you all remember the games you played when kids. Who remembers Releaveo where you had sides and you'd be chased and if caught had to stand until one of your team came and releaved you. Or Rounders. Cowboys and Indians. Marbles. Conkers.

There was broken statues, aunts and uncles, Pussy 4 corners, witches in the well, good angels and bad angels, Red Rover, Relieveo, curb, marbles, concors, 5 asides, tying the rope around the tree and that would be the place to hang out for the summer. Kiss chasing down St. Anne’s park. ahhh those were the days. Sally may we cross the golden water, remember that. Gosh I remember my mam and dad going to Do you remember the sweets, dodger bars and winger bars, trigger bars and snowballs, milk teeth...? I remember two dogs getting stuck together as we thought!!! So young and innocent. Well I remember a gang of us standing there going it's a dodger bar and someone else saying no it's a winger bar! Only because there was a wrapper off a bar stuck to one of the dogs arses... until someone came out with a bucket of water!!! Oh the stories could go on for ever....

Sweet cigarettes The original Tayto with the salt satchet in it. Penny bars Getting a rifle for Christmas and putting caps in it. We used to play a game where we'd put up fences and pretend we were horses in the Aga Khan cup and we'd have 3 faults for a refusal and four for fence down etc.. Who remembers Bubble Cars ? |
