MDM Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not intended as a hijack as it was partly relevant in discussing Alamy contrib meetups. Apologies anyway. Will vacate from here. Have a good Blackpool meetup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was leaving it till early in the New Year so we could get the Christmas and New Year celebrations/festivities over with first before the date would be forgotten and a reminder had to be sent out. Ahh! Well! I will start a new thread with all the details and bump it up should the need arise. Allan Sorry about this post but you could blame it on MDM. ITMA In answer to MDM's last post I too hope you get some people along. Wish I could be there. ITMAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's English living in Ireland, you are also English (British at least) with Irish Norman ancestry (which we seemingly share). He may well be a Colonel but probably not. And I was teasing my friend Allan whose knowledge of Ireland and Irish history is demonstrably a little lacking at times. This is more confusing than the B word itself. Have a good trip Andy (the Colonel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good trip Andy (the Colonel). I was teasing, you, too. My Irish Normandy Ancestry, which surfaced in Limerick about 1822 - nearly half past six - tells me that I'll never get rich, and certainly not with Alamy. My surname ('as gaeilge' - in Irish) is 'de Poer' which translates to...The Poor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
