03 Feb 05 - 04:35 AM (#1397598) Subject: RE: Martin Ryan From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Dunno about the "authority" bit - but I plead guilty to having been raised as a chemist! Regards |
03 Feb 05 - 04:53 AM (#1397613) Subject: RE: Martin Ryan From: GUEST,Com Seangan Maybe the one and same ?? The man whom I met used lecture in Athlone or somewhere in the Irish midlands. he also had a keen interest in the birds (of the feathered variety)- particularly in the preservation of the corncrake haunts in the wetlands of the River Shannon. How close am I getting ? |
03 Feb 05 - 07:06 AM (#1397674) Subject: RE: Martin Ryan From: GUEST Far too close.... Cé tusa? PM if you prefer. Regards p.s. Conrncrake now very scarce, I'm afraid. Those times of birdwatching in the dark, having had a pint or two in Shannonbridge, are almost gone! |
03 Feb 05 - 05:39 PM (#1398239) Subject: RE: Martin Ryan From: GUEST,Com Seangan Apologies. Friends, kindly pretend that you never saw the preceding post. I thought that I was sending a PM to Martin and now see that I have been broadcasting to the universe. And then I don't know how to delete the damned thing. Coming to the age of 74 you will appreciate that the new technology when I was growing up was the reaper and binder. At least, tahnk God, I didn't say anything too personal |

I deleted your post and sent it to Martin Ryan as a personal message. If you register as a Mudcat member, you can communicate with him directly by personal message - if Martin ever gets around to getting his cookie reset. -Joe Offer- |
