Hi All,

My first sticky topic - yay.

What the hell is going to be number one this year?  I hear something about the Pussycat Dolls, are they the ones with that ditty that sounds like its been inspired by his Purpleness "If I was your girlfriend"??  Oh the innocence of Boney M, Jennifer Rush and Frankie Goes to Hollywood eh??  WHat ever happened to Christmas No 1's that had something to do with Christmas.

Hear ya loud and clear Xgh,

Unfortunately the bookies reckon the winner of the X Factor, Shayne Ward is gonna be No.1 with a load of drivel called  " It's my Goal " or something.

( Adds hastily........,so I am informed by very knowledgable 12 year old,swear.)

Teresa,the X Factor's like American Idol where they run a competition to find a " star " and give the winner a ridiculous recording contract etc.

Anyway,who am I to argue with the bookies ?

Rolo.

Ye was looking at the X factor on Saturday and thought it was cr*p

Hi everyone, think this might be the Christmas No. One better than all the other crap.

Jeez Lads,

That's only magic.

Right Sherlock, sort this one out then. ( Whispers to himself )

Rolo.

Nah, Pat's right. It's Joe Hill alright.

Rolo.

All boys - where's your loyalty to your gender Teresa?  Could've been Sharon or Stevie or his new mate Star!!

Or me or Kay for that matter.

Gotta say,

The lyrics and  choice of tune,all original and my own.

For the inspiration, a fair bit of editorial comment..................  ( starts to sniffle as in the Oscars ) and the courage to post when the bottle was going.....................all down to................

Why thank you Ann,

Now all you need to do is draw pictures of everyone and ................

No on second thoughts don't even think about it.

Rolo.

Hey Xgh,

Look it's back.

Betcha I can keep it near the top anyway.

Rolo

Hey it was Lenny who was dreading the thought of that sticky topic appearing on a sticky July day!

Now the santa hats are gone from Cecil and Bob Smith I kinda miss them.  How do you think Cecil would look in a leprachaun hat for Paddy's Day in March?

Yeah X,

Better not upset Lenny any more,God knows what Moderator Status allows him to do now.

Imagine if he was able to post stuff using someone else's username,now that could be fun.

Rolo.

nah - cant post under anyones nam,e but me, i can edit posts, delete, move posts etc, unsticky stickies, change peoples profiles etc.

I could do that but I wouldnt, cos that wouldnt be right.

Im just here to make sure that any forum problems are sorted asap, like stars problem cos killian and crusty aint on as much as some people!!

i can see Ip addresses tho, so will kn ow if there are multiple users from the same ip rolo/needles :)

Yes I too was deeply saddened by the demise of de Santa hat & snowflakes from poster pinup boy Bob Smith..... did'nt think I would miss them that much but they certainly did liven up the place

Don't know why but I think that we are in for a year of...

Cupid wings 'n falling heart for VD on Feb 14th

Bunny ears & colours eggs flying in all directions for the easter

Witches hats & brooms all over de joint for Halloween.....

  Actually I was referring to the poem that was penned which mentioned many of de prominent members here!!!!

Sorry Rolo!

Ah sure Ann,

I knew that,but would be great if you could do a few caricatures.

Rolo.

Hi Rolo

     have decided to write and illustrate a children's book which I only just begun ......based on a little loving character Lily buttercup (alias my darling little Veacha) who comes all the way from Asia to live with her new family on a Tropical island and this is where all the action & excitement begins. Even tho she has a heart of pure solid gold, she is forever getting up to mischief and thus trouble is never very far behind. Tragically I don't even have to make up the script, all I have to do is write down what goes on with the minors!!!! The illustrations when I start should be highly detailed and I will paint all the beautiful images that I have from Cambodia in vivid colour ...from the Royal Palace to the Temples and Riverfront scenes that I have captured in my mind. Plus all the antics that they get up to here....I think our kids are so photogenic that they will make the most perfect characters, even visually for any book. I will try getting it published later when it is completed and if it never gets published, it will be a unique lasting memory for the children to have in years to come.

At the momento tho I am up a ladder cleaning my kitchen presses for the arrival of my cousin who arrives here on Fri. Two more weeks of partying and my liver is just about recovering from Johns visit!!!! T'is a tough life for sure!

Gosh Ann,

That sounds magic.If you do ever succeed in getting published make sure a few original signed copies find their way to your new mates.

Rolo.

Ann I would love a copy of that also! Don't forget your mates and forget the presses with the hopes that your cousin wont be up that high....  God love anyone who would venture into mine

 Sure I'll be able to see ye all at the Book signing in easons!

I actually illustrated a childrens book on the classic fairytales years ago that was published and appeared on the Late Late Christmas show. i also won a competition run on RTE's BB Baskins programme (think that was the name...so long ago I'd forgotton those things!) and I was interviewed on said programme!! Never thought of taping it and it would have been fun for my kids to have now and see!!

So Ann,

If I get you photos of this lot,what about the caricatures ?

Rolo.

Ann

The book idea sounds brilliant a great momentoe for them to have of childhood.

Caricatures!!  LOL

Ann it all sounds so great! Your a great Mother I can tell.  Fair play to you.

Cheers - your kids will cherish that more than you will ever know.

Fair play Ann, great idea and they'll treasure it always.

Sorry lads,

That's just me keeping Noodles' song Top of the Pops.

Rolo.

Ah Rolo,

Thats so yesterday now, we've all moved on!

Well until someone else produces a contender....................

What harm ?

Rolo.

Think he's back in UK today,back in work Wednesday.

You not get a 2006 calendar yet ? Miss the sig.

Rolo.

AH Xgh your mean! I want that to be kept up - not deleted!

It was great Rolo.

 Ann, thats wonderful, what a talented and special mum you are,

your "babies" are so lucky that YOU have adopted them! how about a photo? I'd love to see it as I'm sure other members would, I'm sure they're beautiful.

Hope John managed to get a good look in your presses, there's no point in doing all that work unless vistors appreciate the effort and do a thorough inspection!!!!

Stevie

No I didn't - terrible isn't it.  It shows up my lack of imagination too, not being able to think up one for myself.

Arra I was only sl*gging.

Hi folks,

It seems that I'll have to do another little song if you all keep moving this one away from the Number One slot.

Noodles

Was a sticky until Xgh bribed KBannon to un sticky it.

Don't know what she promised him.

Rolo.

Rolo

Best not asking either

So how long must we wait for this new song to be unleashed on us??

Sharon

Don't know Shar,

Will probably see Noodles down the Quare Place later on and will ask him then.

Rolo.

Cheers

Sharon

Right lads, at the request of one of our esteemed seniors, we've put together another little tune for your enjoyment...................

THE LUNATICS BALL

In the of town of Raheny, K Bannon and Crusty

They set up a website to serve one and all

It was based on the Grove, our Alternative Disco

But what could they call it ? The  Lunatics Ball ?

I first came upon it one July friday evening

When I turned on the Computer and found this oul site

And when I clicked on the Forum, sure that was me knackered

So now I’m in here all day and all night.

For five long months nothing was happening

Five long months and no postings at all

All of a sudden a new gang of Ravers

Found their way into the Lunatics Ball.

When Eejit logged on, sure I’d just logged off again

Then Lenny logged on and Eejit logged off

Then Lenny logged off and Rolo logged on again

All starting to post to the Lunatics Ball

By the month of November there was a whole gang of addicts

Xgrovehead, Kay Fagan to name just a pair

And when I logged on late one Tuesday evening

What were they doing, but discussing their hair

Have you any grey ones says Kay to Teresa ?

No, but I had orange streaks says poor Xgrovehead

It took them four hours to fix me poor ringlets

And there was me trying to go shopping instead

So I’m sitting in work, reading all of this this drivel

Women and hairdressers, just not my scene

Would rather discuss Jump Jockeys or Darts

So I logged out quite quickly, if you know what I mean

So I logged out and Lenny logged in again

Lenny logged out and Xgrovehead logged in

Xgrovehead logged out Kay Fagan logged in again

All getting addicted to the Lunatics Ball.

By then there was Stevie and Russell and Pat,

Think there was ten of us, possibly more

There’s Jackie and Grainne and our new member Star,

Ann Whelan and Sharon, our blatant Post Whore

So Sharon me old pal, where can I start

Don’t want upset you, ‘cos your wit’s just too clever

But I sure want to thank you for those words of persuasion

When I’d threatened to log off for ever and ever.

So I logged off and Sharon Logged on again

Sharon Logged Off and gave Eejit a call

All in an attempt to rescue poor Rolo

When he threatened to run from the Lunatics Ball

Then Russell logged on and Sharon Logged off again

Glad to see Russell, safely back  from Nepal

An what do you think was the first thing he did ?

Don’t ya know he checked into the Lunatics Ball.

Now Lenny’s promotion it caused quite a stir

The things he can do with a wink and a nod

Not like that Tuesday Night at the Reunion

When he spent the whole night in conversation with God

A bad pint he says was the cause of his problems

When Kay insisted we give him a call

Now Lenny we hear ya but no one believes ya

Sure aren’t we all members of the Lunatics Ball.

Poor Star’s not quite sure what to make of the forum

But glad to see she’s joining in with the crack

Least she knows Lenny, probably makes her feel better

Otherwise she might never come back.

Says she’s not sure ‘bout meeting the members

Can’t say I blame her, sure we’re nuts one and all

Cos all of us ravers have one thing in common

We just can’t escape from the Lunatics Ball.

So Star logged on and Stevie logged off again

Jackie logged on but there’s no sign of Ann

And the minute when Pat gets home from his trip

Don’t you know he’ll try to log on when he can.

Poor Jackie’s confused whenever she’s here

Says “  how can you lot be on line all day ? “

Ah Jackie, afraid that’s one I can’t answer

But I think Teresa’s got a number for Kay.

So we’re all set for Easter and The Shieling again

Rolo, Xgrovehead, Lenny and Kay.

Maybe this time we’ll get Russell and Stevie

Don’t ya know we’ll get Jackie, she just can’t stay away.

So Eejit, get to the airport and get on that plane

If you like, you should bring The Doctor and all

Cos for sure I’m  defo gonna bring Noodles

Just to check out this Lunatics Ball.

Ah Eejit me old pal you thought you’d escaped

You’re all those years living out in the States

Thought you could hide in your ten bedroom mansion

Thought it’d save you from stick from your mates

So when are you gonna come home to see us

We don’t give a monkeys, Spring, Summer or Fall

Just make sure, when we meet ya, you’ve your drinking boots on

So you can get rat arsed at the Lunatics Ball

Now Rolo the lad is very respectable

Never a word of filth will ya hear

Finding that word that fits as delectable

To the Gentlemen’s Rulebook he will only adhere

Don’t talk of his kilt as it’s bound to cause tension

You can hear the regret in his voice, you might say

I think there are days he’s sorry he mentioned it

But in truth it’s brought laughter to many a day.

So Rolo logged off and Eejit Logged on again

Eejit logged off and Xgrovehead logged on

Then Lenny logged on and Xgrovehead logged off

Not sure ‘bout calling it The Lunatic’s Ball.

Then Kay Fagan and Russell and Sharon Logged on

And Eejit and Jackie and Rolo and all

Then along came Xgrovehead with a marvellous suggestion,

Why don't we call it " The Three Fingers Ball "

(C) Noodles 22/01/2006

Wow you are fab...well done

Next reunion i want to hear you sing it  before anyone gets too drunk...lol

"The lunatics have taken over"

Cheers

Sharon

Sorry Sharon,

Thanks for the compliment but I would be far too shy to sing anything in public.

Noodles.

Well now Noodles that wont be a problem cause "ill beat the shyness out of ya"

Ask anyone in here they know ild do it....lol

Cheers

Sharon with her hurley ready to wallop

Well done

Rolos Greatest Hits Vol1

Jeez lads,don't blow me cover.

Rolo.

Rolo
