John Macan	To the Editor, the staff, contributors and readers of the NJ: Have a Merry, blessed and safe Xmas and may the New Year bring you all that you need.

Editor	Pascal Campbell passed away in the early hours of today, after a long illness. Our sympathies go to his daughter Lorainne - and the other members of his bereaved family.

Sean T Traynor	Still researching McKee from Commons/Ballinacraig. Nummey. McKee of Armaghbreague. Has anyone any photos of Susan Jane Mckee 1876>1947 Her Husband John Stewart 1856>1942 Her Dad James McKee 1852>1942 Or my Mother Mollie Stewart of The Commons who went to Windsor Hill School circa 1937>1944. If anyone knows this family please contact me

Martin Payne	Ed, The two arches you refer to, in your article Bradshaw’s directory. I think that they might be part of the old mill race that used to flow parallel to the river as far as the stone bridge it then turned off along Water Street to the back of the dam.

Steve Edgar	Great site, a wealth of detail. It must have taken a great effort to compile all of this. Thank you

Santanta	See also Freedom of Information page for NIO http://www.nio.gov.uk/index/foi.htm

Santanta	ED The answer to your question about the council and radiocarbon dating is very simple:- They can not legally refuse your request for the info without VERY strong reasons (like National Security for example). Contact them again and say that under Statutory Instrument 2004 No 3122 (C.131) you want the information. As a public body they are obliged to give it to you but they may charge up to £10. The Statutory Instrument is commonly known as the Freedom of Information Act. You are quite right when you say as a citizen the information is yours. It is. Demand it. Exercise your right.

nanook	not sure what guest book is about but willing to try anything

Editor	The previous entry about the Workhouse Nurse had been upgraded to the main pages. Thanks to the anonymous contributor!

The Reluctant Jester	ED.... Thankyou for all the hard work you do ... Its always a pleasure having a nose at the site ... I still print it all off for my Da... Regards ...

James Jameson	JC, good post mate and much appreciated. Yes, my first thread was tongue in cheek and if any offence was taken then I apologise unreservedly as it was certaintly not intentional. However, as it was my first post perhaps a 'ticking off' or warning should have been issued by Ed rather than an out and out banning and the deletion of my username. Had this happened, I would have been able to explain to Ed that the thread was started in jest and that I felt I could contribute threads and posts containing interesting topics and inviting reasonable and healthy debate. Surely this is what a forum should be about. Regarding the use of the term Internet Facists, this was said simply because I felt I was being singled out for harsh treatment, sent packing without reason and that Ed was acting as judge, jury and executioner without hearing my defence. I also felt i was being shunned for not painting a whiter than white picture of Newry. Let's face it, Newry (or anywhere else for that matter) is not a perfect place and has its flaws. These flaws should be allowed to be highlighted in an open forum. Finally, i am disappointed to be banned but insomnia is the only thing that keeps me awake at night. Also, apologies once again to anyone offended but i hope it was taken in the manner it was intended.

Jasper Cucumber	JJ, why not pack your tent and head for a more aggressive discussion group? Your very first post was very provocative even tho' I assume it was tongue-in-cheek. Ed. does all the hard work to run the site and we are all GUESTS here, with no 'rights', so that makes the misuse of the term 'fascist' ridiculous - you perhapps don't know what the word really means, and are using it as a childish insult. We all poke a lot of fun at each other, but it's understood that poking fun is what it is. For all you know, some of the contributors are taxi drivers, for example, so your comment becomes an insult.This is a site for reminiscence and word-play and nostalgia, and I don't know the real identity of a single contributor. What I do know is that I can see no point in your signing up again if your intention is simply the posting of bile. Use your imagination and writing skills in a positive way, elsewhere if necessary! To repeat: none of us has any more right to contribute to the Editor's site than we have to enter his home.

jade	hi i in school

The Fonz	Great, so there's a Christmas party. Where & When?

He was glad to leave to explore other things. still playing away and giving great entertainment in various venues. Barton still possesses a great sense of humour and zest for life. Will tell him the next time Isee him about you reference, Best of luck to you and sure that Dick would say the same.

Steven	In your "Dad Reaches Out" article I couldn't help but notice the similarities to Brian Friel's "Philadelphia, Here I Come". The only way SB knew how to reach out was to say, "Gut an salt them fish!".
