How was that then DCI?  mind the ringers used to show they were in the lodge but meybe no so obvious

something to do with them landin herrin in ireland at that time john.so they didnt bring any unwanted attention to themselves.as you know ireland wasnt very stable at that time.he removed the sign and it was replaced with a herring gull

Just curiosity DCI, can mind them running across to Ardglass, were they no down at IOM?
Fresh breeze of N wind here in the morning, brass monkey with it, were changing flange in the block, bloody frozen over that side of harbour. You near ready chief?

your the same as me DCI ,no chance of gettin in, nothing but black balls!!!!!!!!!!

just goin by what ma mother was tellin me jt.think it was more of a quiet word rather than a straight telling him to do it.naw the shaft was dispatched fae devon early friday mornin and was snowed in on the motorway not long after,so itll be another week

Mind auld Tam Hughes in Rothesay telling Pete Currie on the wireless about having the clasped hands emblem on the boat's nameplate when he was a young laddie and aboard with his father who was a member of the craft,and at the pier one day somebody on seeing it came along to enquire what his lodge number was. "Hoo auld's yer Granny son ?" was the way it was put. "Christ,ma granny's been deid for years" says Tam. Pete didnae get it(neither did I)until Tam explained it.

nae chance awn,its like the church that place,it would come doon aroon ma ears if a ever set fit in it.

No missing much so they tell me and yer banking the days anyway, when they come on with the proverbial bang ye can slash at it chief

i mind doogie had the emblem on the nameplate of the girl zena, bunch of erseholes if you ask me, my grandfather, father, uncles and brother all members and on the wife's side her grandfather was high heid yin for a spell, her faither and brother are trooserleg lifters and wan oh her uncles was heid bummer too. davie is too respectable to be a member, judging by the regulars in the local branch who are only in it for the cheap drink, if he wid get blackballed they'd need to invent a new colour for me, my old man used to go and play pool on a saturday morning with his cousin and a few others, davie's old man among them the odd time, me and the brothers had gone to shift a piano that they were giving to the local guides as we had a transit we used for the band, after we loaded it up we waited for a game of pool and a member questioned our right to be there so i gave the whole place its character, that was my card marked for life.

not right gettin why the polis made him shift the emblem? ireland has always been full of lodges-north and south-although dying down a bit now-was a programme on recently about wan of the dublin lodges telling what they were about and trying to stir up business-far as i could see it was all cheap drink, a reason to be out of the house and tell the wife feck all. sounds alright in theory but it`s a whole lot of hassle for cheap drink (or was things oversimplified!)
