Lol Pogue.

Tried that hunching down trick as well.

I genuinely had an uncle Eugene who was a bus conductor with CIE.

He was on the 42 I think, the one that stopped on Brookwood in the old days.

Occasionally he'd be on the 20 to Collins Avenue so I'd get a freebie from school in Marino to home.

Never told the folks. The saved bus fare went on tooth damaging goodies 😂😂😂.

Back to 31A. Not sure where anyone can get a copy of that.
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Just caught up on the last 10 posts in the thread folks, great stuff. Couple if things :

- Joey will you not be at, or at least trying to get ticket, for the "final" reunion on 30 Nov. - or did I misunderstand your post ?!!

- Pogue thanks for the kind words re Gerry. He is genuinely the most unaffected guy you will meet. I played with him for 4/5 years from 1978 (Gerry was 17 then I think). He was already an undiscovered secret locally (Raheny/Clontarf!Howth kinda areas) at that stage. I meet up with Gerry every time he's over here the last 15 years or so, and have got backstage at all those gigs including the Bowie/Point one - thanks to Gerry's generosity. A true gent, and a genius musician...

Thanks -Kewl!- I might try to get it shipped over. My wife, also a Grover, from Blackheath Park was on the 32A route so should get a kick out of it and let me out of the doghouse once in awhile.

Looking at the trailer - Besides the bus route, is 32A also a play on words for bra size?

Pogue, am sure someone in Ireland could arrange sending you a copy.

After all without the likes of you, Derek, Frank and even Cecil (lol 😂), the Godfathers of the Grove, none of us who followed may never have experienced the magic of what was the Grove.

Yeh--I'm one of the oldies right enough but there was an older generation before me (around Cecil's age) that was still referring to The Grove as "Eason's" when I started going (2nd Summer of Love '68.) Did anyone ever ask Cecil where that name came from? or maybe Frank knows...the land owners would be my guess. I know Lucan Dairies once butted the property from the Vernon Avenue end.
