Hiya, I'm lemon of old, only one day old on these boards.

From Limerick originally, have been moving my way up the west coast for the past six years and have found myself in Sligo. It's funny how you never end up where you expect?!!

Having a great old time here though, and looking forward to posting on this forum!

il gatto · 24-07-2006 5:29pm

Hi. I'm il gatto. I live a few miles from Sligo town. Technically I'm from Leitrim (complicated). Drumshanbo area.
I registered last month, and have been posting away since. Didn't notice this thread. Should have introduced myself. Even started the "Is Sligo worst run town in country?" thread. Cheeky bastard

Tar.Aldarion · 24-07-2006 5:37pm

Another sligo man, welcome. Not too many of us about.
Have fun.

Another Leitrim person. That makes it about five or six.

Welcome.

Xiney · 28-01-2007 9:59pm

Xiney here. Canadian, currently living in Montreal but moving to Sligo this summer with the husband. So I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself by a few months posting here but I'd really like to know as much as possible before arriving and inevitably making a fool of myself with my North American accent and so on.

Oh, how I will be teased

Also need to arrange several things before arriving and get some tips on job seeking etc.

muffler · 28-01-2007 10:16pm

Welcome to the NW forum Xiney and hopefully you will enjoy posting here.

Post up any questions you may have before flying "over the water" to Sligo and although we dont have too many regular posters here we will however do our best to get you a few replies.

YeatsCounty · 29-01-2007 10:42pm

I can't believe I never saw this thread before even though I've posted threads of this board and I'm a regular reader. I'm John, born and rared in the broadband-free area of west Co. Sligo before meeting Xiney in 2004 and departing for Montreal in 2005 (yes, I'm "the husband").

I convinced her to look for some information here as I'm about as good as a Canadian Immigration official (little inside joke).

Example:
Her: "What would be the best areas to rent an apartment in Sligo Town?"
Me: ".......Cartron?" *only know of this from friends who lived there when i went to I.T. Sligo. I lived at home.

muffler · 30-01-2007 12:52am

Yeah, I've seen you post here in the past and its good to know that we have Mrs Yeats as a member now

Tar.Aldarion · 30-01-2007 4:54pm

We shall breed more members. \o/

Welcome.

tuppence · 31-01-2007 5:47pm

muffler · 31-01-2007 7:28pm

Welcome tuppence and hope you enjoy posting here

Vivaldian · 05-02-2007 9:56pm

Just saying hello. I've been in the States for the past seven years (married to a Yank) but we're pretty much decided on moving back to Ireland, and are thinking about the North-West (Donegal most likely).

muffler · 05-02-2007 11:15pm

Nice to see someone returning to the wee island again after a period away.

Welcome to the NW forum and enjoy

K-9 · 08-02-2007 12:23pm

Another Donegal person here. Just stumbled across the site and found some good stuff on it. Noticed you guys today. I'm from Donegal originally. Lived in Dublin for about 6 years on and off but back settled in Convoy now. Anyway nice to see a North West thread. Hopefully yous might get around to organising that night out again!
