Never mind Pat, I don't know anybody famous either, so that's 2 of us.

I like the middle 2 lines of that as well Dermot, the other 2 lines aren't applicable to me.

Dermot you could have shorten that to the luck of the irish..

I came from an area full of Irish imigrants Cricklewood and Willesden all the pubs were irish and after mass on a sunday the Irish use to go straight to the pub and have a good time including the Priest. I lived a few door up from the KELLY family now theres a good old Irish Name they had Bridget Biddie Jimmie and Patrick along with Peter and a Shona. I went to the cinema with Patrick when I was 12 years old and Jimmy took me to an Irish dance,


Rita

Rita - I don't remember seeing you in Cricklewood's Galtymore Dance Hall.

I remember being taken to a dance once by a neighbour's daughter. I was only about 10 or 11 at the time - more's the pity!!

well I am a lot older than all of you and I have a long list of people I have met famous well it depends on who you call famous.?

I have met Bill Kitchen, Tommy Price, Split Waterman, Bronco Wilson all speedway riders . went out with one of them.

I met Alex Jackson Football.

I went into the bar at Wembley Stadium and met Little Richard. and Joe Brown anyone remember them.?

My husband and I was given tickets to see the Harlem Globe trotters This is the orignal team afterwards they invite us to go to the bar and have a drink with them there was a very tall one not sure of his name ? but the other three Gary March. .Phil Daniels and Alan Burgess. all these I have their autographs still, there were many more.

Later on I met Adam Faith at a party. with Jack Panel the band leader. I went out with one of his trumpet players. Meryvn .

I also met Clift Richard and some of his group, they praticed in the house next door to my friend in Willesden


I also met Prince Charles when I was living in Norfolk met him twice. and Princess Anne when she opened The Save the childrens shop in Kings street Norfolk.,
I met Jim Davidson,

My sister use to say who did you meet tonight.?

I have also been at bank twice when they were raided. one in Willesden Green I was just getting my Dads book out of my pram and saw two men with guns standing on the counter so ran and told the manager of Smiths the paper shop he pulled me and my little pram with my son in side and bolted the door r he phoned the police station. The new paper reporter came to see me..
The next time I was taking money into the bank in church road and a guy rushed out with a bag of money knocked me over. I watched him run into the church while I sat on the ground. and told the police when they came they caught him.

all this is in my Autobiography. so you see I have had quiet a life.

Rita

My God Dermot that was a way back the pubs in Kilburn high road use to have the Irish Band and they did the irish dancing it was great fun I never drank much only a glass of shandy.and the Pub on the corner in cricklewood near the old Palis de dance on St Pstricks day last year there were so many irish people there the buses came to a halt. when I went there we had trolley buses ) people were standing in the road.singing there hearts out. do you know it is mostly Irish Clubs and Pubs that are left going now..
Rita

Amongst the church announcements today, our priest reminded us of his appeal for the church spire.

It still hasn't been returned.

Dermot I didnt take , it must be someone with long legs.

I have just had an email from my Nephew from Arlington where he lives in USA.
He was telling me last wednesday they had a terrible storm ran and snow the snow was so wet it was hard to drive in it . so many people left their cars and walked home.
He said the Newspapers called it a "Thundersnow " as it was a big electric storm
I told him keep it that side of the pond we dont need that,.

Rita

Rita you've met a lot of famous people. Am I right in thinking that Adam Faith was quite short. About 5 ft 5"
Torquay must be kickking themselves because Crawley who beat them have been drawn against Man Utd at Old Trafford.
I don't do walks Stephen. Too cold! I'm a couch potato at heart. Just been speaking to my sister and she and her husband went for a walk near where they live. She put a photo on Facebook and the ground looks really frosty.
Pauline I like of picture of the flower. Very good.
You don't live in cloud cuckoo land Stephen. I can't remember the name of the maigical place you sometimes talk about!
I did have Irish God parents but as far as I know I'm pure English.
Dermot the theft of the church bit is inspiring!

Hi there Pat.
I have just got myself six Virginia Andrews books, from the charity shop.I like her books, and these are all in sequence.
They will keep me amused for a couple of weeks, so if I keep dissappearing you will know what I am doing, yep, reading.

Hi Mo,
I bet you won't be able to read all six books in a row, You'll want a change won't you? I've still got 7 vampire books to read at some point.
I'll google Virginia Andrews. I've never read any of her books.
i wouldn't know what to do if my lappy went wrong. I'd phone up my brother in law or nephew! I don't really do much except go on here, Facebook ,e mail and listen to radio stations and internet.

Pat do you watch the Vampire diaries on the T.V. It's starting again this week, and I can't wait to catch up with it.
I have bought two other books to intersperse between the Virginia Andrews books. Just in case I get bored and need a change.

Hello everyone, I hope you have all had a good weekend.
Rita, glad to hear Mike is making good progress, prayers and thoughts with him.

I have not been on computer much this weekend, my back has been very sore so sitting at computer wasn't too easy.

Have just been reading the last few days posts, a lot of you have met famous people, that must give lots of happy memories. I was also interested in the posts about travellers, I have something to tell you which may make you feel you don't want to talk to me any more, and if it does I will respect your feelings. I am Romany, my Father was a full blood Romany, and I was born to a young Romany woman but my Father was married to a Gorgeo and she took me as her baby. well there, I have told you now, this is the first time I have told anyone who doesn't know me personally.

Thank you for your friendship which I have appreciated.

Go with your God and in good health.
Jean xx

No I don't watch the Vampire diaries Mo.
I googled Virginia Andrews. Are your books from the Dollanger series or the Casteel series.
I'm sorry Shelley I can't help. My laptop has got password and then I click on he icon to get me onto the internet or e mail

Evening all,
Pauline thank you for the rose, how sweet. Big thanks to everyone for messages and pictures etc. I've had a lovely day and just got back from Indian restaurant, (sons treat), we had to eat early as his daughters at school tomorrow. I had Bangladesh tandoori chicken, Bombay aloo and a garlic naan. Thats it now, on with the diet!
Really chilly tonight, have just lit woodburner and got heating on.

Patricia are you a Southampton fan by chance?
