And...Now it's time to meet some of my mad friends from home!!...
First, meet Paul!!

Well, what can I say!! ...

Paul and I have been mates since we were at teacher training college together with Lisa!! everyone who knows him would say he's such a sweety!...but I have never met anyone else who can get into scrapes the way that Paul does!!!  this photo's from last summer when Lisa and I went to see him in Lowestoft...he got on the train to see us off, and the doors closed and locked behind him!!!
..he's trying to explain why he hasn't got a ticket... needless to say the rest of us were totally creased up at this point and not a bit of help to him!!!! ( and yea, he did have to stay on 'til the next stop!!)
Was going to tell everyone about my much missed local, in Belfast... But, guess what?!! just discovered it has it's own website!!!  and that's not all... it has a webcam too!!....  just click on the photo to visit and use your 'back' button to return here!!!...  not quite the same as being there in person, but great fun spotting old buddies propping up the bar!!!.....
(...and yes, Lorraine it IS the one we went to THAT weekend in Belfast!!)
LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A truly mad friend for sure!!!!
Lisa, Paul and I were the 'Terrible Trio' at college!!! ....She's almost more mad than me... but I know that she would insist that I'm marginally worse!!!

Paul , Lisa and I usually sat at the back of lectures, giggled our way through serious discussions, and sent each other wacky cartoons when we should have been taking notes!!....but always did well in our essays and brilliantly in our teaching practices.... (still trying to figure out how we did that!!)   ...anyway.... Lisa and I are on the phone most nights, sounding off about school, or whatever...apart from Lisa's favourite message on my answering machine..." Get off the  internet and PHONE me!!!".... ooooppssss!  Sorry Lis!!
(postscript: This is a replacement photograph... the original was removed due to the overly fussy nature of the subject matter... LISA!!! (I'm going to find a REALLY bad one soon!!))
The Belfast Bunch!!!

This was the morning after the leaving party!!!!!!! last ever day living in Belfast..(march 1996). C.J. was really hung over (she's the one with the red hair!) the rest of us just about survived!!..
...and don't believe all you hear about
big Belfast breakfasts... this is the real one...mugs of tea, stong enough to stand ya spoon up in!!!
The I.T. Girls!!!!
well...apologies in advance girls!! this was the only photo I had with all of us on! ...but I'm sure with a little imagination we can pretend we really are this young again!!!
