Hey Claudel, is woolie still teaching in the school? Is Corro still with you on the PC9s? Any chance of meeting you when I'm over on the 9th November? See you soon!

[cygnet]

John,
'ave you got your visa to visit Eire ? and will you be spending the queens Shilling when you are here ? woolie is probably still in the school but teaching  well that would be a different matter !

regards

DS

[Claudel Hopson]

Hi JK

Yeah Woolie is still employed in the school.

I've forwarned Corro to expect you and the gang.

Hey Cygnet how are all the kin folk and the big job getting on?

Just to let you know Hitler is supposed to be taking the Minister for Gate Posts and Fences to court.

[cygnet]

Employed or he gets paid ?
Kinfolk not bad not as good as expected but thats life !!
Whats Hitler been up to now ? has he been in ? '>
Hey Jabber any sign of you leaving there ? or will you be staying 'till they turf you out ?
Oh belated Happy 30th Anniversary !

regards to all

[John K]

30 years! Only 28 for me! Hard to believe though. Yeah, Cygnet, I'll be spending the Queens shilling, not that I've got that many of them to spend nowadays with 3 daughters! Jeez! What did I do to deserve that! Must've been all those debauched parties in Lucan!
Cheers for the news about woolie, who would he be like from when we were in the hostel? Stoney Bourke? The Sherrif? Jimmy Lonergan?'>??
And hopefully I'll get to chat with you, corro, and the other 'old sweats'.

Woollie in the school!God those poor apprentices will be fed some BS.I can imagine him filling a Stoney role although I think he'd give Joe Clarke a run for his money too. :'>  

[John K]

Yeah Joe Clarke! I'd forgotten about him, Fil! I don't think he taught me anything during my time in the hostel! Good for a laugh though! I still don't know who you are, Fil! Are you still in the 'Don? email me.

[Claudel Hopson]

Who would Woolie be like? No comparison really but I suppose the closest would be the Sheriff. I hope there will never be a comparison with Jimmy Lonergan.

Cygnet Hitler is only kind of in. He's going around with a brace on his neck and usually at some kind of vet or another.

Don't know if I'll leave in the short term or not the PC9 has re-newed my interest again. If I was left with the SF260 I would be gone next year.

Charlie got the big job in MAA and has chilled even more than he was.

Sack is still knockin around minding his own business.

Paddy O'N is only back after an illness and the death of his parent. He keeps a very low profile now and I find it hard to run into him. That may be because he hasn't done the PC9 course either here or in Switzerland.

Keep in touch

[John K]

Sacky Hayden?

[Claudel Hopson]

The one and only!

[John K]

Hey Claudel, I'm paying a visit to the 'Don on Wednesday the 10th, day after tomorrow, will you be around? RSM JG from No1 is giving me a tour of the place. I really hope we can meet up!

[fil the fluter]

No JK I hung up the FN and Gustaff many years ago they're barely a fading memory now.Speaking of sacky's how about Sacky Ferris and is Paddy O Neill's partner in crime Claffey still there. '>  '>

[Claudel Hopson]

Sack Ferris is long gone but Charlie Claffey got Joe Clavins job in MAA (AE Section) and Paddy O'N is only back after a bit of illness.

JK was in today and hasn't changed a bit except the accent isn't as english as it was. JK you must be living over there too long!
