Knowing a loved one has had a good life and was loved is always a comfort when their time comes to leave us with our thoughts...and I'm sure she was with you, Phyllis and family at that send off in spirit enjoying the craic.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
When I first saw that ad Solo I seriously thought it was a trailer for the film, I says to myself what a lovely sharp clear remastering job, I’ll have a look at that, then I heard the dialogue, alas they ruined it, commercialism knows no bounds these days.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Tough School, tough kid, I went to a tough school, and the class I was in contained some of the best bare knuckle students. Last night, I bumped into a fellow who was in the same year as me, and I enquired about some of the names that were big noise back then, and, was surprised that the toughest of the tough had departed this world.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Past reputation is a funny old thing spitty.....through our school days there were 2 brothers...one a saint who was bound for better things and one a sinner who was hell bent on ending up in jail as he was thoroughly 'no good' to all that knew him.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Very interesting posts there Spitty and Solo. You never really know how children will turn out in adulthood, and it’s foolish to try to predict.
