And the only one dressed casual was Jim Shaloo . I suppose he was making the best of the times when he didn't have to wear a tie, or maybe he was trying to remain inconspicuous after the "Kit Kat Club" incident!

[jjoconel]

some more oldies!!

[hptmurphy]

I reckon God was definetly a boy when those were taken!

I wonder who knitted Jim Shaloos jumper....?Drink with ratings..definetely frowned upon.

[Marnealach]

For chippy!

Seeing Jim O Connell and Jack Lynch in that photo reminds me that all they were short of was "Trampass" Hughes.

[jjoconel]

Where are they now

For chippy!

Has anyone got info on the whereabouts of either of these Billy Lahives?
I met a brother of Billy the cook about ten years ago and I think that he told me that Billy was a barrister in England, but I'm not too sure about it.
And what about Fogo? Any reported sightings?

[moonstomper]

Heard a similar story about Billy becoming a lawyer, and there is a solicitor practising in Plymouth with the same name. Not a particularly common name so could be the same man.

Chief Seaman sounds right . And was his cousin the cook you mentioned Billy also, from Cork City Ballyphehane area ?

[moonstomper]

It's hard to believe ex-Naval Servicemen would circulate unsubstantiated rumours or ball-hops with no basis in fact. Oh hang on....
