It's the quiet ones that are so interesting. Two of the quiet ones have caught my eye. Dermot, who has written an autobiography if he only posts twice more (what on earth are tayto crisps?).

And dear Hayley with her aura. Their modesty shines through every sentence they write.

:-) ;-)

Lol....here was me thinking the other day that we don't really know much about Dermot but he always seems to be there in the background. methinks he is making up for it now, and very interesting it is too ;-)

I have to say that all your posts are so interesting but now I want to know more.....one of the biggest questions would be Why?..or.....tell me more!

So if anyone wishes to elaborate ...please feel free :-)

No comment, apart from the fact that I wasn't there at the time and I had no say in the matter.

I did later on, but that's another story :-|

Maybe Dean Gaffney is the one who should be impressed after all Wend allowed him into her home.

Dermot

Dermot Report 28 Nov 2013 22:23

1. I love long words & short words; unusual words & weird words.

2. I am greatly embarrassed if someone points out a spelling mistake in any of my tepid compositions.

3. It took me about 5 years to read ‘The Story of Civilisation’ by American Will Durant (1885-1981) - all 32 volumes.

4. My dad was a Ciotóg (pronounced Kithogue) - an Irish term for a left-handed person.

5. I’ve no idea who invented invisible handcuffs.

Good night!

The first time I had a bedroom of my own was earlier this year age 59.

Over the last 10 years I have lost 2 inches in height I'm now 5' 1"

I hate being this short.

I told the Doctor I'm not overweight, I'm under tall.

I have a dry sense of humour apparently :-P

1. My dad was reared in the family thatched cottage; open fireplace; no electricity or running water.

2. With the aid of modern technology, it is possible to view photos on the Net of the said cottage following recent renovations by my younger brother. Very pleasing.

3. When I was a youngster, sometime in the last millennium, my Godmother used to tell me that I was the spitting image of my aged Aunty. Didn’t go down well. May God be good to both of them.

4. I keep mislaying my invisible hearing aids.

5. I haven’t got a bitcoin to my name.

Poor Rose. Let me help. Coleg Harlech? 1963? My real name is Quentin. Dermot is really Giles. Still no recall? May have to get Hayley to read something for you :-) :-) You had Giles' ring from 7 Jan till 8 Jan that year and then you found someone much better - and the second fiance (you called me Q) could only match up to your exacting standards for about a week. ;-)
