Yeah I have, my imagination is not the greatest in the world and things I came up with did not sound right so nearest to my old name is Green Tribe. I was tempted by Kerry's Bribe of course! :eek:Quote:

Here's an idea - how's about we all chip-in and send SirHamish a foot.ie 'Get well card' and some chocolates (or whatever the male equivalent of a bunch of fleurs is) ? Sounds like he'd be chuffed to know everyone was thinking about him.
Anyone think it's a good idea and is willing to organise this (helpfully, being in London I'm as much use as a chocolate fire-guard for this...) ? How could money get transferred from all contributors to just one person ?
Shakedown/Rory - keep schtum young man.....
Excellent idea Steve. Do we have his address though?
i am not being funny but i reckon that the follownig would get to him:
his name here
athlone road,
ballinasloe
Co. Galway.
im sure he' is known by the post man at this stage like and he lives out on the athlone road, so im pretty sure it would get to him
as well as that checked the phone listings for his surname and there aint that many with his surname round athlone.
Cards don't cost that much. How about anyone who can be arsed should send him one? Multiple cards would have a greater affect I'd say. Dunno why no one thought of this sooner. Good idea Steve.Quote:

Noel's feeling much better and should be even better after Friday. His sight is something like looking through a polythene bag - very blurred so he cannot read or type just yet. Another few days and he'll be back here pestering the holes of all of you. (laughling here)
I read the lovely posts above and I ask you not to send Noel anything - I told him about the cards and chocolates and he's utterly embarrassed. He sends his love to you all and says that the lovely thoughts are more than enough. He really appreciates your decency. (By the way, he lives on the Galway Road, not the Athlone Road - Garbally). Where did that fellow get that idea.
His only worry now is can avian flu be passed on to sheep. I don't know what he means by that and he won't tell me. I presume it is an in-joke amongst you and I hope it is not what I think it is???? He said to me the Kerrywoman (???) or Babysex (that's a strange name) will get that joke???
His eye doctor has said he should be able to see fairly properly by about Saturday when his steroids run out and the various medicines/injections/ drops and stuff start to really work. But he has been warned not to spend too much time on the computer as it will put too much strain on his eyes, especially with an eye operation coming up in a few weeks. He's still waiting on the results for several tests - one of them for colon cancer which is connected to his various illnesses.
I'm nearly ready for China now and should be winging over there in about ten days. I hope to link to Footie on computer from there. This is the place I was for a good few months and where I'll be until about 19th December. I go back after Christmas until December 2006.

How do you scrub my three posts off this. I thought there was an edit button or something???
By the way, I am loading Webroot Spy Sweeper on to Noel's computer to compliment his Norton. Anyone have this? What do you think of it?
I do this knowing uncle will have the laptop fecked up next time I'm home so I am trying to dlute the damage he does a little.
Rory/Shakedown.
PS - I see the edit button here but how do I get rid of my first two posts???
Hamish is coming back? :eek: :p. Good stuff, really great news:). I can delete yer previous posts(mod powers, hehe:D ) if you want, just let me know;)
Hello Sligoman - Rory/Shakedown here.Quote:

What do you think of Webroot???
Bye for now. Sligo Rovers are doing very well. aren't they?? Poor Athlone are bottom!! Glad Noel can't read the league table - he won't believe me when I tell him. I used to be a ballboy in St. Mel's Park when I was a kid.
Ok, done!;)Quote:

Hello RonnieB - I put Spybot and Spyblaster on it for him last year and whatever he did with it, he had it coming on the screen in huge form and all kind of weird things happening. I had to completely clean the computer, start from scratch and reinstall virtually everything. It took me three bloody days to fix it.I uninstalled it because he wouldn't stop experimenting with it. At least Webroot will work automatically. I wish he'd leave the bloody thing alone. He is a disaster with computers, Trying to explain even the basics to him is like Bosco or Sesame Street for monkeys.Quote:

Did anyone check out my Chinese websites above. I've reached the stage where I can smash bricks with my hands. If Noel fecks up this computer again, it'll be his head next. (laughing)
Anyone explain what he meant by avian flu and sheep???
By the what, what does LOL and LMAO mean?? Why the humour about babysex??? Isn't that his name or something? Before I forget, I got the Kerry one wrong, I think the chap's name is Kerrys Ride. Noel is shouting the name from the bedroom now.
Off for a pint with the girlfriend. A bit early in the day but what the hell.
Bye
Rory/Shakedown.

would hazard a guess that he's worried that the sheep he might come into contact with :rolleyes: :D might have encountered the infected birds
quote :" I think the chap's name is Kerrys Ride. Noel is shouting the name from the bedroom now."
Maybe Kerrs tribe aka Green tribe ? I know you're not a guy G T but its Sir Hamish after all :D
This is getting better by the minute. I can't get nothing done at work reading this.Quote:

Jesus! Kerry's Ride!!! :eek: :D Very good, damn all wrong with his speech is right! :D Hurry up and come back but keep your avian flu away from the sheep hamish, poor defenceless animals.....

I was out for a few pints with my bird last night and I heard a good story aout Noel from an old friend of his I bumped in to in a local pub.
Both of them used to do discos back in the seventies and eighties. I can't remember - I was born in 1982.
Anyway, the lad told me that Noel used to disc jockey for parties and suchlike in various establishments in Ballinasloe and other places. He used to tape onto cassettes loads of sets along with records and suchlike. The fellow said that Noel actually hated doscos and only did it for the few bob that was in it. Here's the best bit. Some nights, when he felt there was no chance of getting laid he used to play nothing but fast sets all night. The theory was if he wasn't getting some neither was anyone else.
Your man said it was hilarious with blokes begging him to play a slow set when they felt that they had a chance with some bird. He said it was brilliant to see lads trying to slow dance and get up close and personal with some girl to a song like Rocking all over the world. They used to offer him loads of pints if he slowed the music down. Not a chance if he wasn't getting some himself. I believe disc jockies those days didn't have a big groupie scene like now!!!! His friend said he used to play a lot of Peter Seeger (I think he meant Bob Seger).
His meanest trick those nights was to play a fairly obscure song with a slow start to get their hopes up and then the song would break into a rollicking rocker for the rest of the song just as the dancers were getting smoochy.
(laughing).
Myself and Zoe (my girlfriend) were falling about the place laughing at this story.
His friend told me Noel would remember him as Zibbitt. Every one of his mates have strange nicknames and are all a bit mad - in the nicest possible way.
Some of the names here are weird. Some seem to have normal names like Paul O'Shea and Peadar. But what does Dahamsta mean?? Is it a play on the words The Hamster or something to do with being a West Ham fan? I think he is the owner of this forum and seems like he is one of the friendliest people here although all of you seem to be really nice people.
Rory/Shakedown.
You should sign up yourself when the real sirhamish get's back.
I've just thought of another story which I witnessed myself and remember it well.
In the early 1990s (1991 and 1992), when I was around the ten and eleven age, Ballinasloe Town FC became a little famous by playing challenge matches in July and August against teams from England and Scotland.I remember Birmingham City and Gillingham came in in 1991 and I met the present Cork manager when he was with Gillingham.
Anyway, I vividly recall Noel involved in the pre match media stuf. One of the things they did was this. Do you know how politicians go round before elections in cars with microphone and music?
Well, Noel and a friend of his called Dessie Connolly decided to do the same for the Gillingham game. So they rigged up a public address thing to Noel's car and drove around town publicising the game. They took turns driving and announcing and, like the curious young lad I was, I hopped in to the back seat to enjoy the crack.
Trouble was, Noel would get bored quickly enough announcing the match start times and so on and started to speak through the pa to anyone he saw on the streets. For example, he would say things like, "Hey, Joe, out for a few pints before lunchtime?", "Doing your missuses shopping Fred, she's made a right girl out of you" or another three hour lunchbreak Pat??" I won't repeat what he said to the girls he knew.
I was crouched down in the back seat mortified whilst Dessie was begging Noel to stop acting the b...x. He was a tall fellow and trying to hide himself as well while Noel was laughing his ass off.
Every time we made another run down a street, you could see people dashing in to pubs, cafes etc when they heard the music from the car. Looking down a street it was like Moses parting the Dead Sea with loads of folks running in to buildings in case Noel spotted them.
I remember that vividly.
I can laugh at it now. Oh, by the way, Noel just told me that story about the discos is true.
Sorry, by the way, to Babysis for calling you the wrong name. It's hard to remember all the names when I'm rushing about the place.
I'm just checking the Webroot I installed and it is a cracking good system so I'll be here for thirty minutes or so if anyone has any stories.
Befoer I forget, I support Athlone and Liverpool. My sister supports Athlone and Newcastle United.
Hello Superfrank, Where are you from?? I hope to sign up from China. My sister is on this site and uses my computer next door. I presume it is a matter of joinng via anothet url so, using the same computer but do the rules allow me to join from China as well??Quote:

:D You can see that Rory and Noel are related, similar writing techniques! :eek: :D
Thought the old boy was back for a minute there! Hope he is well, funny to hear those stories Rory, esp the disco ones and slow songs, I can imagine he'd be up to that, I think he told us about it one day!
