Hello everyone, Couldn’t believe it was 3 weeks since I last posted on the YB. Just caught up. Albert and Eoghan, glad you liked the Headland Walk piece. Need to gather a lot more information before we consider a brochure. Good idea though. Helen, the Big Strand walk from the Pier was described recently by Paddy H as a ‘contrary’ walk. It is an apt description. It is also a lonelier walk. I have some pics and will get them on the site soon. I am looking for local information for the site. If anyone wants information on their team, business, interest group, etc etc published on the site just get in touch with me on cdgpro@gmail.com or alternatively 0876487215 Thanks to all that acknowledge new content on the site since my last post, especially Albert, Eoghan, Helen, John, Fionnola and Una. I hope you all enjoy the photos of the Blessing of the Boats in the Gallery. Helen, I am delighted that my comment on the fish ‘bauxes’ gave you amusement. Howth and Kilkeel are a bit obvious, Castletownbere, Greencastle and Union Hall a bit less obvious, Denholm Fish Selling and Kennedy Direct Catch would be more cryptic if you are not involved in the industry. I expect that there are some readers who may not know where Red Sail was from. Fionnola, you’re a poet, but you probably know it. I came across a nice poem by your mum about the Fleet at Clogherhead. I will post it to the site in due course. Georgian doors and plant pots being replaced by fish boxes. What will replace the fish boxes? Torrential rain here over the past week. One months rain fall in 24 hours. Floods across the country. M50 and M1 flooded. Dublin was at a standstill. Said hello to Mark Caffrey while he was at home on holidays. I expect he will dry out when he gets back to the Middle East. Safe journey. Cherio for now. Des |

Hello Una long time no spake!!! No seriously you would not want this kind of heat beyant there, it's awful of me to even be mentioning it with all the rain and crap they are getting at home but this is the kind of heat that makes your skin tingle and when you walk out the door it kinda smacks you right in the mouth cause you have to take a breath and you start to sweat immediately! I am really not complaining but being under a heat advisory gets kinda old specially when it does not cool down at night but that is allright, it could be worse we could be in Iraq!!!!  |

Nice photo's Des, thanks. For those of us that does not get home to Clogherhead very often, it's really nice to see the irish shores on the YB. I like to show the kids the photo's of Clogher & tell them some fun stories of what I did when I was growing up in Clogherhead as a child. John yer right I had that in mind about the doors in Dublin when viewing the fishboxes. Helen wish we had some of that heat over here on the west coast. To you anon state you name why dont ya..... This is a community website, I know there are people in Clogherhead with PC's, I know yer out there, so why are'nt you all on. And for those of us that are overseas that make the effort to keep this website going do a good job I think. So off yourself you must go to bebo whatever you call your -myspace- website.....have fun! Enjoy everyone..... |

John I was just reading over your comment below about me living near a body of water and much as all as I wish I could look out over the sea or the ocean as I drink my coffee in the morning (the best view is from me mothers conservatory!) I reckon I will stay inland for a while. When I was n the Navy we lived in Jacksonville, FL and used to have Hurricane parties, this meant when we were sent home from the base whoever had a house or apartment would bring a few sailors home with them if they evacuated the barracks (NAS JAX was right on the water) and we would sit around and drink beer and hope to God we would not get slammed! But apart from the odd Hurricane it was a wonderful place to live, loved it! Then we moved to Norfolk (the armpit of the Navy) a block away from the beach and we asked why was the duplex built about three feet off the ground, did it flood? No not really says the ould one renting us the apt. Shure as shit a few months later it rained, stormed, rained stormed some more and then the floods started. We sat out on out deck and some lad went past us in a rowing boat (there was a lake on the other side of us and it met with the sea!!! The whole area was flooded completely) Your man was going to the shop to get cigerettes for the wife, in a friggen rowing boat! Thank God we were high enough not to get flooded but the houses on the street that were level with the road were ruined. Again a really beautiful place to live but gets pretty bad when the weather turns on you! We are now far from the sea/ocean but are surrounded with lakes, it's a beautiful place to live but we are plagued with tornadoes, but the strange thing is is that no matter where you live, you adjust to the situation and get used to it and go with the flow. You hear the sirens you stay alert and watch the sky you hear a rumble you run like f*ck and bring the kids and dog with you!!!!!   ON that note I have to add that this 105 on a regular basis is a bitch!!! |

Des I know what struck me about your photos of the fish boxes. The poster of the Georgian Doors of Dublin. The Flotsam of Clorherhead could rival the doors in popularity.Fionnola has already turned into prose. | |

In the form of fish boxes... ...just a quick word of thanks and appreciation to the responsible party ?Des? for the fantastic new content on the site. I personally love the fish box pictures - they sure do evoke many many memories WOW... stacks and stacks and rows of fish boxes...yellow ones, red ones... lads loadin and unloadin em.. pryin em apart...some clean some smelly... fillin em with everything nice then with ice... firin em up on the backs of lorries ... scurtin up one hill, hang right then down the other or climbin still further and flyin on along across the Harbor Road ahhh... deadly... what a refreshing and most unexpected treat from home wonderful home... yes in the form of fishboxes... Over the side. Ebbing and flowing. Capsized and stopped. Never budging. Perched on rocks. Stuck in sand or mud. Upside down. Once lost - now found. To one it’s debris or another man’s treasure. On the books – it’s an expense and a loss - no pleasure! Captured on camera by one man walking? Pictures and uploads. Edgits frothing. A thoughtful gesture that took a keen mind and eye. It’s a colorful story. From under a Clogher sky… |

Thoes fish boxes would make nice planters around the village. They do make a interesting row of colourful photos. I wonder did their trawlers make back to port. Helen you know you have settle near a body of water we creep over 90 some afternoons but a breeze will pickup and make it bearable. | |

Dessie you wrote "While getting these photo's (Pier to Big Strand) ready for the site I was surprised with the number of fish boxes that I came across. Does anyone know where all of these come from? I'm sorry but I am laughing here to meself cause the names of the owners are clearly written on the sides and some with phone numbers an all!!! But I reckon you were wondering HOW they got to be where they are and I would be willing to bet that they went over the side of some trawlers who probably should not have had them in the first place!!! Or maybe should!!! But fish boxes have been part of the rock landscape for years I am just surprised at the size of them now!!! Small kids would be well able to swim around in them yokes, not like us trying to bate outselves into the yellow fishboxes!! Jaysus them boxes are deadly!!! I love your photos and although I have not walked that walk for years (was too busy sitting on top of the head or the Mullagh!!!) every photo is soooo familiar I can almost feel meself walking that way around. It also reminded me of how lonely that walk is, even if you are with someone there is such a lonely erie feeling to that whole area bewteen the Feddis and the little cove ... I donnow what it is about that Big Strand specially that area but then and again I am talking about prehousing estate times so I have no idea of what is there now! Anyway Des, THANKS for doing that for us, it was great to see... fishboxes an all!!! | |

The photo gallery has turned into a art gallery. Great work Lynn. Thanks Des for effort you are putting in on this site. Your heads up to the BBC's Clorherhead 420 million years ago was very enlighting. Those upturned rocks have shone up often in the photo gallery. | |

… well well well… Cut or bust? When in motion cut like a knife or bust like an overfilled balloon… Then, from smoke & fires in Yo-sem-ite Valley, California to a sterile but not-very-well-thought-out set of pugnacious comments on the Yellow Board by an anonymous rogue. Yes - an anonymous rogue who sooner or later will surrender in agreement that world/global/foreign events indirectly and absolutely affect the immediate price of everything for everyone. From the price said rogue pays for petrol & transportation purposes to living expenses (roof over head food on table) even if said rogue lives in the remotest of places such as the metropolis of Togher. On the BRIGHT side, your comments may stem from your wish to see more locals use the Yellow Board to post comments on football/school/college/food/restaurant/take outs prices/the 5 O’Clock bus/cab fares/lost and found or personal relationships? How about price comparisons or maybe you’re rich and don’t care, or maybe you’re a miser and do? Who knows! In any case, I can see your point if this is it but if your point was nothing more than a sour and sterile attempt to silence people’s freedom of expression, which in my case you’ll have to kill me first, and everyone else won’t give up none too easy either I should think, simply put, it’s a total waste of your time as you can already see from what's been stated already! On the DARK side, and most importantly anon – the overarching tone and your sense of entitlement and ownership of common guestbook cyberspace on the Yellow Board and the covert noname and sterile attempt to silence other people’s right of expression on it is ironically laughable but deeply troubling. But, I for one do happen to believe YOU are better than you’ve displayed thus far. So, pull your mind out of the toilet because discrimination, along with racism and intolerance, divisiveness and division and sense of superiority is not good – try instead to employ progressive thinking to identify and eliminate your INTOLERANCES, to accept DIFFERENCES and avoid “MINE IS BETTER” backwardness. Instead, PARTICIPATE and be involved to raise rather than lower standards. We may not always agree with what the other says here and sometimes it ain't pretty but at least we agree to disagree. That’s the best anyone can do including myself. Now to roll up a hoor of a tent and put away junk for next year… Later… In the mean time, get yer home buddies out and typin... Later |
