Ah well now, that's for the mammy to decide. You of all people will know the power of an Irish mammy. Not to be challenged. lol

Hell hath no fury like an Irish mammy with a wooden spoon. Amen.

Tell me about it. I still feel like dancing and clutching my backside lol.


I don't think people outside Ireland understand the significance of the word "mammy". Be afraid, be very afraid.

Or the relevance of the wooden spoon

On topic, I noticed this record on FWR:

Is it worth getting a month membership?

I don't see anything there which matches the HLI record which you seemed fairly certain of?

I couldn't say about the membership. That would be up to yourself really.

Sorry, it didn't seem to narrow it down. Select British Army and select survived active service on the left hand side.

Ah yes, got you now. For that record it would be worth paying the subscription for a month - in my opinion.

It's a good lead anyway mate. It's not actually for me so I mailed it to the fella it's for to see what he says. I have a rough date of birth too: 1876

You're getting closer mate. I think you'll get there in the end.

[Buck Rogers]

Hope so. It's interesting to do!

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT SIGN UP TO FORCES WAR RECORDS.


I DID SO A WHILE AGO, FOR THE MONTHS TRIAL OR HOWEVER THEY ADVERTISED IT.

I USED IT FOR A COUPLE OF CHECKS AND THAT WAS IT.

THEY CONTINUED TO TAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR ANOTHER 8 MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY THEY WERE STOPPED WHEN MY BANK INTERVENED.

I ASKED TO BE REFUNDED ALL THE UNAUTHORISED PAYMENTS BUT DESPITE MANY EMAILS TO THEM THEY KEPT GIVING EXCUSES, E.G. THE ACCOUNT HAD BEEN OPENED IN ANOTHER NAME, THEY COULDN'T FIND MY NAME ETC

AFTER SOME RESEARCH INTO THEM ON T'INTERNET, I THREATENED THEM WITH LEGAL ACTION AND THEY IMMEDIATELY EMAILED ME STATING THEY HAD FOUND THE ACCOUNT AND FUNDS STARTED TRICKLING BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT.

THAT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO, YET IT STILL HASN'T ALL BEEN REFUNDED.

HAVE A LOOK AT THEIR BAD PUBLICITY ON T'INTERNET BEFORE THINKING ABOUT JOINING UP.

I KNOW THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED BY ANOTHER MEMBER OF THIS FORUM.

Thanks for the tip Brian! I'll definitely be warning my mate!
