    This is just out of curiosity, but has anyone here know of or heard rumours of secret societies/clubs operating in your localities like the Hellfire Club or something along those lines. The IRA doesn't count in this instance in case anybody would be tempted to refer to that particular organisation on this thread. I was just wondering does such a culture exist in Ireland.

    I am pretty sure we may have a few neo pagan or neo druid type stuff going on in secret groups.

    Someone told me there's a dogging club just down the road. No idea why they keep owning a poodle or whatever secret, but there's nowt as strange as folk. I have a staffie and was sort of thinking of joining..

    Yeah, if it's the same guys we're thinking of, then let me tell you in advance that it's a scam.

    Friend got a sausage dog off them. Had him only 2 days and had to return him. The sausages he produced tasted disgusting.

    Their first operation was invented in swords Co. Dublin in the mid 80's and then they spread out to different area's but have no idea what becomes of them now, or even what location they work from. :)

    Well, if they are known on boards, they are not that secret.

    The Freemasons are still quite numerous.

    Unrelated.... But Opus Dei number relatively well in Ireland also.

    .... As for me, I was born a snake handler... I'll die a snake handler.

    Why, if they have a time machine, do they only go back to the mid 80's?

    I'm similar to you. I have a stiffie and I'm planning on joining the dogging club down the road...

    Read the fucking OP, he typed right there that the IRA doesn't count. Bullshit like "Well, I know more IRA members than you do!" doesn't mean anything because my Dad is bigger than your Dad so shut up.

    That'd be a Staffie/Cocker/whippet cross, right? Very popular with the boys I was talking about. They're always going on about having a stiffie and planning to meet up in the car-park. Going by some of their chats, it's a broad spectrum thing, some of them seem to have cats as well. Still not sure why it has to be secret though? Maybe it's a pedigree thing.

    Why would it count in the first place. I just made the point it was hardly a secret society as apposed to others mentioned, jesus. No dick measuring here, I simply answered the question directed at me. No need for the aggression.
