I dunno it can be said myself and Bruce got along exactly... ah, the old school days. He still owes me about ten smokes.
That sounds about right. Cigarette debts were a complex economy.
Keith is probably liable to kill me if he ever found out where I am.
Rugby has taken most of the violent impulses out of him by now.
My my, old times come back. I don't recall if I even ever SPOKE to you, but I certainly know who you are.
Is there anyone in Bunclody who doesn't know who I am? :)
It's bemusing the amount you can know about someone in a village environment without ever exchanging a word with them. And, indeed, how much you remember.
Well I knew Keith pretty well. I think he was tormented eventually by some four years of art and tech graphics classes with unending whinings of "Keith! Keith! Keith! I think I did this WRONG?!"
Too much nostalgia. What a random surprise for a Wednesday afternoon.
Naturally everyone knew who you were. Your hair was unmissable.
I'm guessing you know who I am, this far into conversation.
Oh, I do. I dug your delinquent older brother out of enough homework difficulties over the years. :) What is he doing these days? Last rumour I heard had it that he'd gone to Australia for reasons unspecified.
Who needs a reason to go to Australia?! Half of Ireland seems to be doing it! He'll be home next month, maybe January. Sp you helped the old delinquent out, eh? More fool you :P
It was and still is good to live in the shadow of a brother like Steven. It goes unrecognised exactly how closely I follow in his delinquent footsteps, as long as I keep on the right side of the law.
It provided something to do in the mornings, and gave my mutant French talent something to do.
It was and still is good to live in the shadow of a brother like Steven.
Bruce was saying recently that most of his keeping out of trouble (such as it was) was based on my reputation. Bizarrely, I think some of that is based on the times I was in the principle's office too...
I wonder if Steven ever passed French? It was unbeknownest to me, at least, that you were having any input... certainly the combined efforts of Mrs. Slevin (who was a great lady with a genuine interest in her students, it must be said) and the fact that my mother has fluent French, not a lot made a difference to Steven's total allergy to anything resembling school work... bless.
Principle's office! Mad Sister Madaline! Ma Lennon! Mrs. Caulfield... all weather pitch... confiscating cigarettes... CAN OPEN! WORMS EVERYWHERE!! Just when you think the past can never return!
I lived in Ranelagh for two years, by the way, from 2001 to 2003.

Sorry. I take it it'd be no help to point you at

I probably walked blithely past you a few times, then.

I shall now drop by Aidan's journal and leave him a random comment from the old school days. Unemployment can work to one's advantage.
