Debut post on Belfast forum!
Found this super site during a long lonely 12 hour night shift about last October and have somehow been able to read the many posts.My own home P.C.,which was always on "the blink" ,has had an overhaul and now,newly restored to its full vigour,prevents me further viewing;hence my "sign up to the Forum.
The question now is,in the words of "The Clash's" punk iconic tune,"Should I stay or should I go?" ,'cause it sure looks addictive!!
Is it to be like my first tentative dipping of the toe into the shallow end of the Ormeau Baths "swimmers",a big bellyflop in at the 5 foot mark,or a gracefull swallow dive with a half pike in off the top springboard?
Bellyflop it is then and a true confession from the word go!
Whilst perusing the many posts and having a quare giggle at the "Jokes and funnies",one post nearly took my eye out and that was one from a hero member,the good lady being "Kathleen2".The defining clue of course,was the recognition of her Grandfathers surname,references to Clementine Street,Patricia Clulow (she was the vice Form Captain at Kelvin,I was Form Captain) mention of wee John Hinton's shop and of course Blythe Street.My Granda lived in number 73,the last house before the "spare ground" as he called it, it having be bombed during the Blitz in WW11.
if I stick with the Forum and master Windows XP,I will try to improve my fledgling profile with an uploaded picture of me from that long ago era,which might jog your memory to the time we played "wee houses" and explain my profile of
"Pennywhistle".
For goodness sake,please don't worry that I will be dropping in to your house anytime soon!In my case the apple didn't fall too far from the tree as I live within 5 miles of my place of birth in Malone Place Maternity Hospital,way back in 1951 and in any event I got homesick on Sunday school trips! (Primitive Street ).
Yep,a Methodist!
