    	Thank you Jen for volunteering to organize this years annual
        Christmas Party. Please keep us informed as to how the plans
        are progressing ...    :-)

    RE: .1
    
    I just don't think it would work out having the party at my parent's
    house.  They don't have enough plastic to cover all the furniture, the
    walls, floors, etc.  Besides, getting there would require detailed
    directions and travel through numerous stop lights!  (Although this
    didn't stop the Boston Comhaltas, including a few CELT'ers, from
    traveling to Providence last weekend for a nice ceili!
    
    How about if I do half the work for you.  I'll suggest a place:  The
    Green Briar.  I've heard it has a pub and a restaurant and isn't
    located downtown (for those of us who don't 'do downtown')  Besides it 
    comes highly recommended...well, actually, some clown told me about it!
    
    Now, MR. A&E can you handle the date, directions, and the raising of
    the dead to attend?  The last refers to the less than overwhelming
    response to this note...typical...impossible for the Irish to think too 
    far ahead!

I see that Mr Culbert has been planning this get-together for some time

In the Emerald Isle. why dont ye join him. I hear he has a very large Suitcase

      MBr,
    
         I guess they all want to stay here for the party....  I'll be doin
    pints of the Guinness while they count the sheep  8*)....  See ya all

    Why don't we have a *Pre-party* party?!
    
    It seems the world-famous, superstar group, Ye-3, will be making
    a *special* apperance in Boston on Sunday Nov 26, 1990 at various
    locations such as the Midnight Court, and maybe even the Green Briar.
    
    Perhaps we could have a get together for the following excuses, er
    reasons:
    
    1.)As a "dry" run for the real Christmas party, and of course to meet
       the mega-group, Ye-3.
    2.)To plan the real Chritmas party. (seriously) :->
    3.)Maybe by Sunday, we may even have a real reason to celebrate, such
       as the demise (political, that is :-> ) of Maggie Dearest.
     
    Any takers?!
                

    
    
    Just so all of out fans know what's happening .....
    
    Ye-3 does not reply on "Lip-Sync" tactics inorder to sell albums.

       We only sold one album and I'm still waiting for the review on it.
    
    So, DKeating, how did you like it?  Was it worth the price? I'll bet it 
    is on the coffee table at home.

    	Paddy : You "SOLD" that album to DK  ???   !!!!!!
    
    	You told us you GAVE it to him .... Where is our share of the profits ??
    
    
	Where's our manager !!!
    
    
    	keVin
    

    
    Ah, in the traditional fashion of the CELT-notes file we have seemingly
    strayed a smidge from the original topic.....and if the album was
    ideed SOLD, the IRS will be interested, I'm sure!
    
    /the C.P.A.
    
    

    
    I have donated the profits to my favorite cause.  Now since I'll be
    flying out on Sunday.  And several of us will be in Boston doing
    Guinness. How bout that warm-up session before Xmas party????

    .12�    I have donated the profits to my favorite cause.  
    
    Which can be located in his hip pocket :-)Rumour has it that Paddy
    Culbert still has his communion money and that Joe Drotter still has
    his Social Security butter-vouchers from his days in Cork way back
    in the seventies :-) Burns(despite that throwaway name!) does not
    light his cigars with 100 dollar bills.

    Sure is...I've just been in contact with my man in Havana!

    Paddy, only a !@#$%^&*() like yourself could make such a
    statement.......You don't DO Guinness. Disgraceful these 
    liberties some people feel privileged to take, especially
    when you could easily count the number of pints he's ever 
    actually drank. HUH!!!
    
    Dave, it doesn't seem to have taken you very long to get the
    suss on these three characters either. Sad but true..... 
    
    There is no such thing as an "original topic", so forget it.
    
    Joe, from an American perspective, Margret Dearest's demise may
    very well prove to be disasterous, not a cause for celebration?

    I'll be doing Guinness while you are counting sheep.  8*)

     What's a fella to think of THAT?  Makes you want to up and join
    the French Foreign Legion or sump'm.

    You will eventually come to a 5 way intersection.  This is Arlington

    noncommitants (whew!). Well here it is...the PARTY will take
    place on December 14th, 8pm until closing, at the Meadows lounge
    in Chelmsford. Bring your dancing shoes..........
    
    Any questions, comments or complaints should be directed to/at
    Mr. A&E Burns (I've done the hard work).

    Oh, Nooooooo... The Meadows!  Yer not serious, are you?!
    
    I'd rather attend a 'Maggie-Dearest  Bought the Package' Going Away Dinner
    than go to that place. 
    
    But I'm sure the Larry, Darrel, and Darrel crowd of regulars that
    frequent the Meadows will more than make up for my absence.     :->
    
    Murphy, why not try the new Irish pub up in Manchester - The Wild
    Rover, (formerly Teddy's Irish Pub). A whole new crowd, *and* 
    Guinness Stout on draught!
                                                            

    
    Well, aren't ye all a picky lot!
    
    Anyway, for those that can't wait so long, there will be an informal 
    gathering this Friday, November 30th at the Green Briar at 9:00 p.m.
    till ....
    
    

What did ye 3 do to Mr Culbert. He still has not surfaced on this side of the 
pond.

Rumour has it that he is esconsed with Brian Lenihan in Buswell's Hotel. They 
are training Brian's new liver and discussing the vaguries of an ungrateful
eloctorate.

It will shortly be time to send out a scout to look for him. Mr O'Sullivan has
generously volunteered to carry out this dangerous task. He will report back 
when the mission is complete.

No that cannot be correct. All of Cromwell's convicts are now in th U.S.

    re: .38
    
    <Would you let a short, inoffensive Canuck in on the Xmas booze-up?>
    
    Yes, gladly, but there are 2 conditions that must be met:
    
    Since Paddy Culbert won't be back in time, and since we miss him so,
    would you mind terribly walking around with a Paddy Culbert mask on??! 
    (I just hope you're short enough, though. :->
    
    And, if you bring large amounts of that great 6.2% beer called Brador, 
    or the other stuff, the 6.5% (can't remember the name)! 

    
    RE:  .29
    
    Well, a good time was had by many on Friday.  Those celebrating at
    the Green Briar included:
    
    A mad Irish woman with a great new haircut
    
    A read-only noter ( and you know who you are!)
    
    A certain Moderator (yes that's right, PAY UP MR. A&E!!!!!!!)
    
    assorted other rif-raf
    
    and what seemed like half the Galway plant....

Re: .23

Well, where was everyone ??  I was at the C&A club from about 6:00
until 7:45.  The music was lively, the set danshing was 'interesting',
and the people watching was fun.

The band had up to 4 bodhran players, a few fiddlers, a LOT of
squeeze box players, a few tin whistles, and a piano.  All in all,
well worth the visit.

Most of all, I enjoyed watching two women who seemed to be set
experts trying to teach on the trot those in the two groups they
were leading.  A lot of weight was lost by all concerned.

Anyone up for the next one, start of January ??

                          *** NEWS FLASH!!! ***
    
    My spies and secret agents inform me that a wee, fat man answering
    to the description of Paddy Culbert, (short of height, short of cash,
    short of of knowing where he was :-> ), was spotted in Dublin last night
    hoisting a few pints with a few of the local lads, ("The Dubs"!).
    
    The conversation overheard by my spies was that of Paddy commiserating 
    about the untimely political demise of both Maggie Dearest and himself.   
    [aside: Oh, I can only imagine the weeping and gnashing of teeth that 
    must have been going on in that place!]    :->
    
    When the pubs closed, and "the Dubs" went home, Paddy was last seen 
    slumbering on the sawdust of the pub floor. 
    
    More news as it breaks. Now back to your local station...
                                              

Actually Paddy was on a recruiting drive. he was trying to enlist new members
for the group Ye-3.

He interviewed many potential candidates. I understand he has signed up the
unbelievable Mr O'Sullivan to paly the tin (or should it be thin) whistle.

Mr Guisseppe Farrell is being signed up to play the 5 string Guitar.

When last seen Mr Culbert was interviewing Louis Stewart for the position of
reserve fiddle player. A new drummer was also being interviewed.

    re: .45
    
    Hey keVin: what do you think of Paddy doing all these Personnel
    changes to our group YE-3 - without consulting us???!
    
    What a reptile! Never trust a wee fat man from Antrim. ;->
    
    While I welcome the addition of Dermot on tin whistle, and the others,
    what will be come of the name of the group?! Shall we now call
    ourselves the, "Six Counties"?! :->
                                                           

    Great evening, thanks to Joe for forcing us down to a great seis�n from
    Louis and the boys.
    
    On the sidelines we had Martin Brennan blowing trumpet (his own of
    course!) while Paddy signed up very favourable contracts for the new
    revamped Ye-3.  If I remember correctly, Paddy's exhortation to the new
    recruits went something like "just hold the pen  and I'll move the
    paper."  We all expect to be millionaires before the year is out.

as previously promised back in May.  As for wearing a Paddy Culbert mask,
will I be allowed to enter the State?

Where and what time for the festivities?  I'll be at the Sheraton in
Boxborough from 12-14 Dec. and at TAY2 (wherever the hell that is) during

    OK, Murphy, let me get this straight: As an inducement for everyone
    to come to the *gala* social event, at the "Cowboy Corral" er, Meadows
    Lounge, you're saying that "Mr. Arts & Entertainment" Burns won't be
    there, the funniest politican this side of George Bush won't be there,
    and whoever this guy is who makes those great frozen drinks, won't be
    there also?????
    
    You know what this event sounds like to me, Murphy?
    
    It sounds like it's going to be as *exciting*  and lively as
    one hand clapping. :->
    
    
    BTW, for those of you you who have never been to the Meadows to rub
    elbows with the *denizens*  that lurk there, you can get a good idea of 
    what the place is like by watching the movie "The Blues Brothers",
    when they play that gig out at "Roy's Place". You know, the one with 
    a wire mesh screen in front of the band to stop the flying bottles. :->

    Hey Pat, forget the Labatts but bring down some Senators tickets!
    Congrats on the coup...  Rumor has it that the Senators new arena will
    be in Kanata (how near will it be to KAO?) and that the Senators will be
    in the Adams division.
    
    -g

Damn!!  Damn!!  Damn!!!

The registrar at Engineering Quality and Technology in Littleton
cancelled the course I was to attend next week, so you'll have to wait
for the Labatts and Brador until 8-10 January.  

I was looking forward to the Xmas booze-up, damn it!

Oh well, I'll be down from 8-10 January and again 21-22 January.


The new home for the Ottawa Senators is presently a cornfield.  Construction
of the Palladium (includes a hotel) is to start in the Spring; however,
the team won't play there until sometime in '92 or '93.  Until then, they
will have to use the Ottawa Civic Centre (at Landsdowne Park) which only
seats about 9,500.  The Palladium will seat 22,500 and is about a 5 minute
drive from the KAO facility.

    George "U-Boat Commander" Darcy hints that he may actually show up 
    tonight?!!! Jasus! what's the world coming to?! :->

    you never know where, when, or at what party he's going to 'surface'

    the Christmas...Are there tickets around. also I hear Moving Hearts are
    playing some gigs over in Ireland at the moment..Any lined up over the

    The Waterboys were scheduled to play in Galway on New Years Eve. I have
    just been told that it has been changed to Sat. Dec 29th. Not sure
    about Moving Hearts, they did a charity gig recently in Dublin.

re: .69

keVin - no problem.  Glad you guys liked it...it's a pity Joe didn't
show up, he would have enjoyed the stuff I'm sure.

I'll be back on 21-23 January, and since you liked it so much, I'm
bringing some more!  Maybe you could give Joe a swig?!

    Pat,
    
    I don't suppose you have any room left over for some Canadian Club
    (great Ginger ale, don't ya know!)

    	We give new meaning to the term "Drink Canada Dry"  !!!!!!!!!
    
    
    
    	Were willing to do our share ...   :-)

    <<I don't suppose you have any room left over for some Canadian Club

To be sure, you can get CC cheaper in NH or Mass... A LOT CHEAPER than
here in Ontario, and it's the same stuff (all distilled and bottled in
Walkerville, Ont.).  However, here in the Frozen North, CC can be had
in IV bags so you don't have to freeze your lips on the bottle...do you
want the bags?  You'll have to supply your own needle, syringe and tubing
though.

Hasta la bye-bye,

Pat

	KeVin,

I suppose drinking Canada dry is a practice run for your next trip to Galway. 
The best thing that can be done with that apology for whiskey (Called CC) is
leave it in the frozen north.

B.T.W. 
 
I see that that noble Dubliner called Farrell arrived home in one piece. He 
refused to come drinking with us on that Friday night. He must have been 
wounded. I take it that you were responsible.

Paddy, 

He refused to bring you over some water. I will need to fine a new courier. In
protest I refused to go to the Irish Club.

    MBr: ALL of Mr. Farrell's wounds were self-inflicted  !!!!  :-)
    
         The only thing we did was provide the weapon(s)
