nanook

Just a quick one, I see alot of new posters here and it is good to see everyone here taking an intereast in the forum. So with all the new peeps on here, this is your chance to say hello.

So hi i am nanook, origionally from Leitrim but now observing from wicklow.

muffler

I'm muffler. (dont ask about the name) Born, bred and buttered in the lower region of the Finn Valley and now located in the twin towns area.

Married, with kids and I also have a mortgage if anyone wants to pay it off.

Not going to say much about the occupation other than it is associated with property (kinda)

Paddy20

I am me, Paddy20 a certified loony tunes, I should know as I certified myself after smoking some strange concoction at a party in London way back in the early 60's, hence the name Paddy20, as thats how old I was, way back then when everything seemed possible, and a new era of freedom dawned.

Now, I am trying to keep a 'low profile' in Ballybofey, where I let out my first scream after some bastard slapped my arse !, I was innocent then and I am innocent now.:eek:

P. :cool:

byte

I'm byte, rared and bred in Ballintra (which btw, now has ADSL broadband!) but living for the past 6 months in Letterkenny.

Still work in Donegal, in the electrical sector, so a long commute daily!

Tar.Aldarion

The name is Tar, Tar.Aldarion
Reared in breeogue,sligo, I now go to NUIG (electronic and computer engineering) and am moving back up there in the morning again.
The nice relaxing stay in sligo has come to an end once more.

foggy

I'm foggy, named after the weather the day of my first post.

i work in the health sector. born and bred in the countryside outside letterkenny. travelled for a while, lived in dublin for a while, now back at home this past few months.

Sin scéal eile

Well I'm Sin scéal eile originally from Co. Sligo (not too far from the Donegal/Leitrim border) currently living in Germany.

I'm constantly dreaming of moving back to the "old soil" which unfortunately isn't as easy as it sounds due to various circumstances, hoping to make it back home in two years.

I'm working for probaly one of the most hated companies in the world, but...

...Sin scéal eile....:D

Thougt you might be another guy from Carrick I knew in Letterkenny (many moons ago - well actually 13 years ago - omg!!! it's that long ago, I must be getting old!!!!)

Carrickman

I used to head to Letterkenny every Thursday to the Grill (after a few in the Pin Tavren) back then as had a lot of friends in collage around that time, think they were first years.

Born in Buncrana, Donegal; moved about a good bit throughout the years -- London, Galway, Dublin, back to Buncrana, over to Prague for a bit and currently in Dublin again with no real idea as to what to do with myself. Such is life

weeginger

Hey, weeginger, and believe it or not.. I'm short and a red head - predicible I know.

I just moved to and am still trying to get to grips with Letterkenny. Not the most welcoming place I've ever lived but I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

PlayGirl

PlayGirl here .. born in galway, moved to dublin then up to buncrana!, its not so bad up here i suppose but its annoying the way everyone knows everyone in buncrana because its such a small town & rumors get spread around like nothing normal!, not saying that i'm completely innocent in that area! but hey, what can you do?? :rolleyes:

jimmycrackcorm

Jimmycrackcorm exiled from East Donegal to West Dublin. Met a Dublin lassie and now I've a permanent city life sentence.

Oh how I salivate looking at the property prices at home thinking of what I could swop my Dublin dog house for. If only my other half could learn that you don't need an entry visa to move outside the M50.

Also to Fitzo, welcome aboard. I see you have a few posts under your belt but I think this may be your first visit to the North West.

rikerdonegal

Well, I'm from Leitrim, but living in Donegal now.

Way back when I first made my presence felt on the internet I was known as rikerleitrim (mostly that was just on the Teletext MailBox for the Paramount Comedy Channel).

Once I moved to Donegal, that became my full-time nom de internet.

nanook

riker welcome and thank you for supporting the population of leitrim.

Sniff sniff. promise you will come back for the censos

rikerdonegal

nanook,

Thanks for the welcome. Don't worry I haven't forgotten Leitrim. In fact, I was home this past two week-ends to see (a) my mum, and (b) friends down from Dublin, and back from England. This is always the case, since pretty much all my Leitrim friends don't live there any more.

Why not send me a PM, about what conditions were really like working for my "FAV Company", were they so bad you had to go to "Somewhere in Europe" to get away from the 'Noise & Stink' ?... any private info would be appreciated . From either of you.

Many thanks.

I think if you want to go down this road its better that you exchange email addresses and keep it off the boards and the associated PM's
