Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Re: Time to say goodbye

Very concerned to lose a very valued member of this forum. I would love to get some advice on anything that can be done to improve the forums and to ensure that no one feels they have to leave. If anyone wants to talk to me privately, just send an email to info@lisburn.com and I will get back to you asap. Everything is held in strict confidence. Thanks, Darryl

o k ann don't say I didn't warn you. two big burly male nurses on their way to see you. the only way to stop them is say hello on here.

Re: Time to say goodbye

I am absolutely disgusted that someone has tried to upset and mock the members of this friendly site. I am what has been described in the past as a lurker. My parents my sister and I left Lisburn when I was very young, so I have little memory of my early years there, hence the lurker. I have for over 8 years been reading people's memories of where I, my sister and my parents were born. Unfortunately I found this wonderful site after my dad passed away, he would have loved it.Before my mum passed, I would read every day the stories of people and places of their past,she would remember so much and I knew a lot only through the stories they told me over the years.

We went back to Lisburn several times, many years ago. We stayed with my aunt and uncle, Sally and Frank Hannah and my cousins. I met other aunts, uncles and cousins from my mum's side of the family. We also met Wee Davy Jones and saw him driving his wee car.

Why is someone who has just come on this site trying their best to upset things. Please don't let this person ruin it,it's play ground stuff. Ann please don't leave the forum.

Re: Time to say goodbye

Hi Ann,
we had good "intelligent" back and fourth's. Unfortunately
those who are finding pleasure in destroying the forum have nothing better to do. The likes of Bertha..Lord help her..now she we will go to Chapel I am sure and be justified in her perspective..? (get those two words?)
Or maybe not. Hello to all of the regulars, including Mauri who started this whole thing..it is his fault..just because you are a fountain of information.
Can't wait to see responses (Bertha that means reply's)to this posting.
Carolina Irish, Allen.
Mauri I am not Caroline..:smile:

Re: Time to reflect ,and think it over !

Hi Ann

I can't believe what iam reading . You are going to leave , although I am not on the forum often , I run out of things to say ,but I thoroughly enjoy your stories ,about going down the line ,with your hubby ,and the dog .Like Mauri ,Dabbler , Beano, and all the rest ,who can put words on to the computer screen ,and all turn out so interesting ,for us all to enjoy .What am I going to do now , Sometimes when my computer is on standby ,my photos come up on screen , and I am not sure which photos are shown .But low and behold a lady like Rita Hayworth comes up dancing with a lovely vail , hope you remember . Yourself ,giving us all a laugh at the meeting a while back ,in the Witherspoons . And the another walking down the line ,with the wee dog .
So come on Dominic ,tell this good lady of yours , to stay ,with the Senior citizens, and give us some more of her lovely stories.And put us out of our misery .
All good health ,and Christmas Wishes to all .
Ps I could send some photos of The Ann of the one veil , if requested Ha Ha !
