Anyone Watching

[Psybbo]

Mrs_O 'Who do you think you are' on BBC1?

[gness]

I am recording, Psyb....but it'll be hard to watch....♣

[Psybbo]

It is, Gness. Why do I think you're related?

[tonyav]

BBC i player tomorrow I think.

[gness]

Me and MrsO...or me and Julie Walters?....☺

[Psybbo]

You and Julie!

[askyourgran]

Gness and Mrs Overdone! It's Acorn antiques all over again. The programme's not bad though.

[gness]

Psybs...you'd be amazed at the people I meet in odd places and we have a connection.....

But MrsO and I are twins, Gran.....well the height is an issue...but other than that!

[gness]

Oooo, Psyb.....tuned in and yes.....it's getting very close....

Now in Westport House.....and I have family stories from there....♣

[Psybbo]

It's amazing and horrifying to see what they went through!

[gness]

Was awful and unforgivable, Psyb.....My family's landlord was a miserable old bu99er named Crotty......my granny rammed an umbrella into his mouth...☺

[ferlew]

I have just watched it, and it was great.

[ferlew]

Only into his mouth Gness? He got off light then, up the derriere crook first would have been fairer.

[Psybbo]

Your ancestors were part of that?

[gness]

Hi,you two.....was typing and fell asleep mid sentence....I have done far too much in the garden today...

Yes my family was affected...I have a bit of a thing about Westport House. It's very different today but I still can't bring myself to visit it...nearly did this year but......

My mum's family had some odd characters but I admire some of the women...especially the gran and great gran....

Granny came home once to find two Black and Tans sitting in the little moat. They had been at a neighbours place and made her milk her only cow....drank the milk then shot the cow.
They were looking for my granny to feed them but she was a little bit cross about the cow.....well more than a little....enough to see them off.
I like that......☺

Thoroughly enjoyed it

MrF and I both have O'Briens in our tree.
He has Mary Ann, I have Edith Lyle Kerr O'Brien.
What a coincidence, eh?

[whirlyhurly]

Ferlew I think the O'Brien clan is rather large, my maternal grandmother was called Theresa O'B'rien.
