Trying to find

[Christopher]

Hiya Addy,

I guess you were from North Belfast at one time. Where are you now
If you have the time would you mind posting on the "All About Me!!!" thread on the Belfast Chat board.

By the way do you have a picture of Pauline Crawford please

All the Best, Christopher

Hi Addy, well as I remember when Pauline and I used to hang out, every guy we met used to have the hots for Pauline. She was a looker and  had a great personality.

Hi Val. Donna and I know them. You remember Donna. I used to go out with Barbara Crawford. Last I saw her she was living in Carrick in 75. Didn't she live with Trevor Kelly's Mother. 

I do remember that you went out with Barbara but the last time I saw her was shortly after I got married and she was livng with an old friend of mine a guy called George Hughes. I think this was after she lived with Mrs. Kelly.  Barbara's brother is Brian or Roy Crawford and I am sure he lives in or around Ballyclare.

Brian or Roy Crawford or Brian and Roy Crawford? Val, you have my poor wee brain working overtime. If I had known 30 years ago that I was going to be sitting at my keyboard 30 years hence discussing Roy or Brian Crawford I would have had a couple of drinks less on those Friday afternoons at the Bot. There is something spinning around in my mind and I am having problems putting Roy (possibly) into context. The guys at the Bot were like fixtures and fittings, there every Friday. I knew three or four of them as I met them during the week but the others only on a Friday afternoon. Val, this wont find your Barbara but might solve my problem. Was Roy recently married in the mid seventies? All I need is a clue. Did he enjoy a pint? Dont answer that ... didn't we all in those days?

Well Brian would be in his 60's now. Sometimes he was called Roy sometimes Brian. Go figure.  Honest go goodness , dont remember if he was a pint drinker as it was his sister I knew better although Brian was in the same class as me in Primary School! He didn't drink pints then

Didn't know Barbara had a sister. Was she as tall as Barbara

[Taggart 009]

No Pauline and I were about the same height. She and I used to play a lot of tennis at Cavehill Tennis club.  It was actually Pauline and Barbara who taught me to jive for which I thank them as I thereafter always enjoyed dancing.

There is a sad lacking of entries from North Belfast people on this site, and I am getting all upset and sad here watching for for a friendly name. Any of you know anyone from Antrim Rd, Cavehill Road, or North Circular Road, North Belfast, send them a wee emial along with the site and tell them to come join in the craic.

Hiya Val,

Good man Addy, that's the way to do it.
If Google spots you here is that as good as a free advertisement

Hi All,
I would like to be added to the North Belfast list. I lived on the New Lodge Road from birth (1951) til 1970 when we left Belfast for good  .
We lived next door to the Lyceum picture house right at the top of the New Lodge. I have 6 sisters 2 of which who you may have known through their frequent attendance at the dance halls. I am Irene (1951) Angela(1946) Nuala (1948) I think the others would have been too young to be known by any of usens but they are Winifred (1956) Margo (1961) Colette & Carmel (1965) and coming up the rear our one and only boy John (1967). I mostly went to the Maritime Club bit Angela and Nuala went to Romanos & The Orchid. I had the happiest of childhoods, growing up in Belfast in the 60s and feel sorry for the children of today who cant have the freedom we enjoyed. We pratically lived in the Alexanders Park and loved Queen Mary's Gardens. The Waterworks was a bit boring but we liked the 'lake'.
Best Regards Irene
