What school did you go to in Grove years?

Oh my god, two for the price of one! What a gem of an idea Bluebell!

Oh crikey, I can barely manage to restrain myself from vomitting everytime I see / hear him on the latest McDonalds Ad - so the thought of him donning the white suit again is enough to make me heave......

Read somewhere that Johnny Logan might be interested in competing again

Rolo, she's a law onto herself!!!!

Speaking of the Eurovision........have to admit that I did sit down and watch it - 3 hours of pure and unadulturated "camp" TV!!!! Hilarious! Poor Dervish were totally out of the loop and looked like they were entered into the wrong contest in comparison to the others........What Ireland needs is to have a national treasure representing them next year - someone that the ladies will love (and gay men!) - someone to generate the votes.....hey, I know CdeB!!!!!!! (its the monobrow that does it for me!!!)

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Verh is suddenly getting very cheeky ?

I remember Zero Zero and I think a Gerry Doyle and Colm (d'arcy?) played with them. Rolo will be able to shed some light on that

Indeed I will Roundy.

Welcome TP. You are bang on about Zero Zero. They have been mentioned several times on this Forum over the months.

PM on the way with all the details.

I went to St Vincents in Glasnevin.

A few of us went to the Grove from about 1980/1 - 1982/3. We used to cycle from Drumcondra & Glasnevin.

Myself - brian clarke, & Ray Verschoyle, Ronan madden, Niall Fagan, Lorcan Jordan & Brian Delahunt.

This is my first post, but i have read most of the thread and the only names I recognise are Kevin Whyms. I used to work with them as Stone Pony. Incredible Guitar Player, hard to believe hes not more famous.

Also I seem to remember two guys called Rob who were always there. Think they were from Donaghmede. One of them, Rob Poole? was in a band called zero zero?

Teresa,

By the sounds of things I imagine they were way after me, just hope they have some good memories - Isnard (nun) from Kerry was there my time she was awfully awfully but a heart of gold and a great teacher. She rang me years later to say she was in the Clontarf area & could she call? Naturally, I said pop in for a cuppa. She duly arrived, all in her cream garb, my 2 & half year old was drawing with markers at the time along with paint - guess the rest, she looked like Joseph & the amazing.........multicoloured - however, she took it really well. Another one there was Celsius, for devillment we put an enormous bra in the oven towards end of term - she opened it to take out some cakes and couold not contain herself laughing.

At the time the whole ethos was - correction does much - encouragement does more - & boy did they encourage you. Dont know what it was like in later years, would have loved my girls to go there, but their friends were going to Manor Farm so off they went.

Went to one reunion it was a happy / sad occasion some really nice people very sad stories. Only other contact was they asked me to give a chat on studying abroad which I did - the young people are great and so much more with it than we were.

Are you better?
