Used to get the 103 bus from Whitehall and get off the stop just before the Beachcomber pub. There was a little grassy area along there with an electrical generator thingy surrounded by trees and thats where I used to get hammered before the Grove. Ah savage days

I remember knocking back some vodka in the boys/mens jax behind the stage thinking I was so cool until Barry came crashing in. Like an eejit I forgot that the big window in the cubicle looked out on the queue, Barry must've seen me and spoilt the party. I was barred 'til Easter. Luckily for me it happened sometime in march so i didn't have long to wait for my Grove fix. Getting barred did wonders for my reputation though ------------- They couldn't hack it |

Don't think he visits here unless incognito,or under a username I don't know) once said 'Don't know which I prefer more,going to the pub before the Grove,or Knacker Drinking before the Grove...'

Yes Floyd..head really like a sieve these days...sorry.......
totally forgot about his spoon association...DAW !!!. What YEW forgot the at the Reunion was the whole Band practice thing at the Crows Nest...you did a "where´s that" on me" !!!!!! Jim Redmond..yep think it was the whole hanging at the park ....kindof a.. "oh there´s Jim Redmond" thing....he was one of those guys everyone knew of for whatever reason...certainly nice reasons though. Aaaaaaaaaaaah..it is all seeping back now. I can see slightly now through the fog of age..... One of my friends had a crush on him. She was from Maywood and used to drag me along to stare, gape or oogle. We must have sat infront of the mound in the Annes pretending to be cool or something making Daisy Chains... I was young though, maybe 14 at the most. I don´t remember him with any birds though ??? Funny....things that crop up after all these years....have to dig deeper now and think of a few more.... Without a doubt though, must have been mega fit with all the walking back and forth to the park from the Raheny Road to stare at Jim Redmond. The things ye had to do then.....

There was a good Grove contingency from there...my old friend Derek was going with one of the girls from Bettyglen or Maywood-they were surely Manor Farmers so you would probably know them. I sense a PM coming on... Yes-wasn't it amazing (and incredibly sad) how you would do ANYTHING to get that other person to notice you in the park or the Grove...if she would say hello or even smile at you it would crumble you...would sit there for hours hoping they would even know of your existence...

(so maybe I am fitter than I thought all along!) - though do have a massive blister at the back of my heal (gals in the office say its the biggest they've every seen - bless 'em!). Hope your wife got on well Floydman - hope you had the bath ready and waiting for her when she got home! Did it last time for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind (who are a charity I try to support every year in some way shape or form as its a charity close to my heart) but as I already helped them out with their chrimbo card campaign, I decided this year to help the Animals - so did it for Cats Aid....They get little to no government funding and as I am a massive Animal lover I thought I'd give them a dig out this year. Will do it for the nippers next year to vary it. |

Brian & Trixie, Great to hear you are both involved with Irish Guide Dogs for Blind and the Animal Dogs Aid - did you ever think of putting up a site for sale of Christmas Cards. Their cards & calenders are beautiful and you know your few bob is going to really worthwhile causes. Looking at a survey recently, stated best time to sell or organise for Christmas is any time after longest day of summer ie 21st June. Sounds commercial yet very practical - think of it - no hassle in Nov/Dec. Delighted the holiday was a big hit for Lerato & yourself. Best, Verona ------------- Verona |

I'm sure they wouldn't-but I still think I'll get too cosy in the pub beforehand and will need a JCB to get me down to the Craobh...

I'm with Martin on this one for two reasons
1. I would enjoy the pub, any pub, so much I won't want to leave until just after this one 2. I want to see how the locals cope with having someone named posh in their club If the bar in the hall opens early - that's where I reckon we should all meet and mingle, but I shall follow wherever I'm told. I have to collect my ticket after all ------------- I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash |
. Last time that happened was when they played Kilmacud I think. As for a Floyd, yeah Kilmacud again I'd reckon?Posted By: Black Russian

I'M happy with the club too....nobody's going to want to leave a pub and then travel to the Craobh . Dont think members will be too unhappy to see the takings boosted either. Oh...here's a pat on the back for all genuine Grovers! I was buying tickets for a past reunion from reception in the Sheiling and the girl remarked....'You're from the Grove. You know they're just the best bunch of people...great nights and so nice to deal with!' I had to agree, of course, but that wasn't difficult when it's true |

Grovegirl, had the same experience at the reception desk at the Shieling myself once or twice. 'Snapper that's a priceless comment about Crokes, you have me in stitches laughing here. |

Kitty's will be thronged that night anyway-I'm happy to stay in the club-but if everyone is going I'd love to meet up for a natter and a kit-kat and coke first. ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Agree with the rest of you, it will be very hard to get everyone to move out of the pub. So the Club House it is then. What time are we gonna meet up then for our "cokes and kit kats".

Maybe the bar in CC would be best then, so all the members can get to put names to faces etc., rather than scattering us here and there. On the Mini-bus, by the way, Martin, I will be in Clontarf most of that day at a Games convention so I wont be on the Groovy Grove bus from NCD.
