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.

Hear, hear, Dabbler.

Re: lisburn.com

Yes Dabbler, Jim was a real nice guy, I knew him from when he was a little kid also his family, he had a sister called Iris and one time I was over in Lisburn for a few days and took a female relation out to dinner at a restaurant the name of which I cannot remember but think it was on the Ballinderry Road, while we were having dinner Iris and her husband walked in and she spotted me about the same time as I saw her so we both ran into each others arms for a big hug, her husband wondered what the heck was going on untill it was explained to him who I was. Sad to think that they are both gone. Mauri

Dabbler,

Thank you for that, it is hard to believe I have been on this Forum over ten years, all thanks to the late Jim Collins.

Hi Mauri, Like yourself, Jim often crosses my mind he would have been 80 on the first of May last! and its a sadder place without him as he was always open for a bit of craic or advice when required, he left a big gap . Kind Regards Ted
