Irish NS in NY for March 17th.

[Jenny]

You're going to roll your eyes at this, but what is the ARW?!...I'm sorry- don't know much of the lingo you guys use!...
But when I was talking about the friend I'm trying to track down, I should have said I know he is in the Irish Navy, and went to New York on the L.E.Roisin...
I was just curious to know if they marched in the parade!- I havent talked to the person in a while, so I don't know if they did or not! By the way- get drunk and get away with anything?! Sounds like you have quite a fun job there *laugh*

[yooklid]

Does he play rugby for munster?

[Goldie fish]

Now now people, A bit of manners please!

Yooklid and Barry are referring to a well publicised incident where a nice american lady created a website for a Man she was in contact with,former Naval service,former Army Ranger wing(Our elite special forces unit),former all round action man who had been killed saving some children in Iraq...

However she later discovered that all the stories this gentleman had told her were slightly untrue....He too was a member of L.E.Roisins crew...and still lives...

By the way, What is this St Pattys day you speak of?

[hptmurphy]

St patricia.....St Patricks sister.....a long forrgotten about Irish saint...fought for the rights of women in the DF and was martyred by some one in a depot training unit.!

[yooklid]

....former Naval service....

Have there been some developments in his situation?

[Goldie fish]

No Comment.

[Jenny]

Thanks for the explaination Goldie Fish, and for the welcome- all this stuff can be sort of confusing...
Well, I guess it's not important anyways- I just thought I'd inquire into it!- Got a postcard from him from Cohb before the shit left, so I'm sure everything's good.
Thanks for your time everyone!...
Oh, and oops- should have called it St. Patrick's Day :wink:

[Big Al]

T Got a postcard from him from Cohb before the shit left,

Another member of the NS leaves a lasting impression I see.....

[combatlogo]

Maybe that should have read "ship"? :wink:

[hptmurphy]

A freudian slip perhaps?

[Jenny]

Ha HA...Okay, it should've read ship! And like I said- he's just a friend.. So don't give me any of that "lasting impression" mumbo gumbo! *smile*
If I got anything out of this, it's been a few laughs from you guys- thanks!
