Greenough Street
Maidwells was a sewing factory but what did they make? Down by the side of the River Douglas was Water Heyes Electrical. The Quality Hotel now occupies this position across from where the famous old Wigan Rugby Ground was, but now is a Tesco Supermarket.
My barber repaired umbrellas.
I saw two in Wigan park with umbrellas.
Whats happened to the butterflies.?
See what i mean.
tother day my watched stopped.
The first clock was invented by the Romans.It ran on water and was named Horogolium.So there.
You're losing track of the script Terry old boy i seem to remember you having a go at someone over their name and it wasnt boo who first called you Ducky it was that particular chap so get your memory on track. Old age is a devil sometimes in it.
Stripe me its turning into an ex grammer school pat one another on the back site and i bet not one of you can speak latin.I know some of you are reasonably witty but can't spell for toffee.
Bernard I have a confession to make. I am Terry aka Ducky aka Curlies Older. Why?..as a tribute to the great Bernie. I feel honoured to be your soul brother .. you see my missus is forever in your debt as a recipient of your good deeds. You see Bernie .. she was one of those poor kids for who you did so much. So to me ..like many .. you are a hero. Curlies Older?.. well Grammar Boys were being abused by a bad soul on the site .. knowing you were a grammar boy .. I felt I needed to protect you. Ducky? .. the bad soul .. sure you know who – well he named me that. So there you have it Bernard. Unless I have your permission I will not use the great Dowdall name again. PS – the missus cant wait to see you on TV. PS - I don’t know Peter Dowdall.
You're still here John.Lets here something constructive from you instead of negative comments.At least old boo had a go and his poetry was actually very good and witty which goes to show you Wiganers have the sense of humour of a dog with a bone.So move on you looser and change the subject.
Well Curly Bernard Dowdall, no offence meant, but isnt asking Cliff Bloomoon to sort out the site, a bit like asking Boo Boo Sandside to judge a poetry competition. I find the old Mooner quite witty and amusing at times, but face it Curly Bernie, the Mooner is responsible for most of the tittle tattle on the site. When he's not Bloomoon he's Cisco or Deggs or the Lone Ranger. If you enjoy the site,,keep reading ,, why not. The site is self governing ..we've nearly got rid of that Gremlin Boo Boo,,and his attempts at poetry. OK some have indefinetly gone on strike...but they'll be back when they're sure the Gremlin has gone.
Well they gave Whelan the keys of the town for ruining Orrell RU. Wonder what he'll get for for leaving a sinking ship. Wigan RL will end up playing on the Robin Park athletic track.
They are way past caring.
I thought you needed a sense of humour if your a Wigan RL supporter.
I'ff you ain't got a sense of humour guys leave this site alone and join the Wigan rugby league supporters club.
Lets sort this thread out Cliff .I remember in the old days when it was the 100th message.Who's Terry Dowdall,Ducky Dowdall,Curly's older brother.?..I thought there was only me left.Its all too confusing for me .i'm sticking to the Grammar School thread.I dont know who i am anymore.Help!!! Its very funny though lads.
Cliffy luv you are a butterfly. I recognised you from your grammar school photo with your pal little bernard. berny used to come to see me when I lived in dickinson St.
And for a thousand years or more.. Our land all storms has faced,.. And now we stand on solid rock,.. By the silver sea embraced.. Our nations Fathers with just pride.. Look down on our proud land,.. We Wiganers will show with grateful hearts.. Against all foes we’ll stand.
I saw a butterfly on a flower on tuesday.
I saw little Cliff the other day in Wigan Lane...ee..he did look worse for ware poor lad. I shouted buck up Cliff from across the road but he didnt hear me. It was raining too..he did look frozen.
Oh Wigan is a grand old town, The Romans.. knew it well,.. It always had a Nat King Cole.. As long as folks can tell... And so because its rule has been.. From age to age so royal,.. Its sons to-day their Town still call.. “The Ancient and the Loyal.” .. (Refrain).. For the honour of our town.. Let’s strive with all our might.. For the very name of Wigan.. We are told implies a fight... Though not “Ancient” we are “Loyal”’.. And we’ll fight a battle royal... For the good old town of Wigan That we love so well. Amen
I've heard they are very good Tez but a bit cramped.
Obviously boo you know more about Primark than me. Is that where you got your radio controlled boat. I could do with one for my littlelad.
Boo dont half like rattlin you Wiganers cages dun he.
Primark have never sold sailor suits in my time here.But they do sell dummy's so you would have felt at home there.
I'm joining French lessons. Before you say learn English first..I've told you before Boo..our Bernies got the brains in our family. I accept I'm thick but I try. You're even thicker but haven't got the bottle to admit it. PS I was in Windermere in the bank holliday. Primark are selling off sailor suits cheap..get down there quick..you'll look lovely mincing down the pier in your new sailor suit.
You seem to have a phobia about education Terry.Night school starts in September.Try it or change your tune.
Is there anything between your ears ducky .Facts are facts.
Bragging again Boo. You'll never learn. As well as basic education and an interpersonal skills course you need a large slice of humble pie. Still you can't put owt where there is nowt. Boo in Cumbria ..more like phantasy land.
Sorry to spoil your night Ged but wind and water is what sailing on Windermere is all about.A hundred and twenty mile round trip to Hindley and back is a bit much to listen to the blues when i have Sting as a neighbour.Now iff you were to send a taxi then that's a different matter.
I have it on first hand information that the elusive Sam Bass was spotted fast asleep on Leeds try line at the JJB stadium on Friday night.Did anyone else spot him.
Not surprisingly Boo chickened out again. I was looking forward to the Cumbrian Clucker turning up at the Amberswood in his sailor suit. Thought I saw him disappearing out of the door with chase Me written on his T shirt but apparently it was a local walnut. Afraid the old grape crusher is all wind and water.
Steady Tel.Don't get your knickers in a twist.Anybody can make a mistake as the hedgehog said to the yard brush.
Hey Boo you numpty give order. I'm Tez Dowdall not Peter you tube. I dont even know Pete. get down to Tech and learn read you Cumbrian grape wrostler.
You will more than likely get your grapes crushed my boy.
Goodo. Looks like the old grape crusher himself will be there. Can't wait to seem home to the hornpipe in his sailor suit and cap. See yous in Amberswood.
peter you have a terrible stutter, take your teeth out while your typin it might help. rock on
sounds good that Janet, I,ll try make it, will you be there ?
He's had something else crushed by the sound of him.
is that pete dowdall from ince
You'll recognise me alright ducky.I 'll be the one who crushes your hand when i shake it.
I remember bein in dicky plums when mrs cox opened the door and shouted..bob cox in here? dicky replies..just shaves and haircuts.
I'll try to get down - the trouble permitting. Wear a flower in your coat so we recognise all. All accept Boo. He'll look cute in his sailor suit - oo I could crush a grape.
