Sean Connery

people think I have Jock heritage because my first name is Graham and that of my half brother is Angus, and the fact that I do like Scottish distilled beer!

I definitely have Jock heritage. My mum was born in Edinburgh and I still have a lot of relations there. Mum's younger cousin (Jimmy) was a school mate of Sean Connery, way before he became famous.
 
Sean Connery walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, and then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"

"No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically."

The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"

"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties."

The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I'm wearing panties!"

Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's running an hour fast."
 
The 1st move I saw starring Sean Connery was "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" 1959 and he starred opposite with the cutest actress I've seen on screen (Janet Munro) - Man he was young then and so was I. Great Old Movie and one of my favorites ;o)

Great Irish tale about the King of Leprechauns and his pot of Gold.

Scott's can say whatever about their country but Ireland is mine ;o)

I feel for an Irish Lass touring Canada in the late 60's and she ended up in my house for a summer. She had to go home and I said I would follow to the extent of getting a passport but never did - Yes I'm a deceitful Irish Leprechaun crud whom has never set foot on Ireland ;o(

Breda if you ever happen to  come across this thread I can't apologize enough, although you did take my 8mm match box camera. Interesting none developed celluloid in that camera. I particularly like the Pic of you on the swing ;o)
 
It was informative for me seeing pubic hairs extending from a wool net Irish Bikini - Sean RIP.

Be for warned about Irish Catholic Women, especially if your a Dogan like me ;o)

Sean Connery was 10 years my elder. My Wife was Franco Irish Catholic, 8 years younger then me, she's dead now over COPD and I have extreme difficulty contacting my children probably because I do not have an I-Phone.

I don't know if that term is used anywhere else ....... Ontario is the only place I've heard it used (usually as "those damned dogans"). I never even knew what a damned dogan was until I grew up and found out they were just like you and me.

Jim: What's really weird is that I'm not Catholic but raised Presbyterian United.

Perhaps a little too much Scot and Dutch in my linage to claim to be Irish - But here I am ;o)

I felt free to attend church services of all denominations.

Haven't been to a church service since I was 16 except for my marriage and deaths in my family.

The term Dogan is really a switch blade (Double edged Viking Ulfberht Sword). Ever notice old cemeteries were they bury Catholic's on one side and Protestants on the other side but their are Dogans buried through out. A Dogan definition, to me, means you don't met the requirements of either and more like a half breed.

That's my interpretation of what Dogan means - Not necessarily meaning a devout Catholic.

It is rather a slang word to be interpreted by an individual contemplating Faith.

My Irish Protestant Canadian family originated from Cumberland Ireland during the Irish Potato Famine !

Scot, Irish or British, Holy Marry Mother of God - R.I.P Sean; not knowing if he was a Dogan - Which I suspect Sean was  ;o)
 
Hi Ron

Looked up Dogan and found this .......

"Dogan, (Canadian word) Irish Catholic [19th century on; origin uncertain: perhaps from Dugan, an Irish surname]."

Who knows ....... I didn't even know what a Roman Catholic was back then ...... I'm like you ..... Presbyterian until about 16 then I was done.

Jim
 
Presbyterian Heh! Well guess we are the only crew familiar with that term. Hi-Low - Anglican, Catholic or Orthodox didn't really mean a thing to me. I use to help a Catholic friend of mine stack chairs in the basement of his Church - I toked my 1st dooby there ;o)

Not knowing what the street term of weed and all the fuss about it back then, I was familiar with it as a child. My Dutch Grandfather use the hang it in the back of the horse stable and smoke it a corn cob pipe. After being in the fields with him all day my Grandmother would say: "William have you been smoking that Catnip again" ;o)

Hahahaha ....... the Hutterites out on the prairies grow it "for the elders" ........ it helps them pass the days.

I saw weed plants grow wild along the fence line between pastures around Crown Hill and Midhurst in Simcoe County during the 50's and early 60's. Never paid much attention to it. Of course it was not as potent as the modern hybrids of the plant.

I was never much of a toker but I was partial to Panama Red and Lebanese (Yellow and Brown) hashes back with a bottle of Beaujolais Sup?rieur in the day (Wish it was still available). I do not care for these Hi-Strained weeds today and over indulge sipping Scotch at my age - HIC!
 
Forgotten Weapons French 75 GIN Cocktail:

My Irish Grandfather on my Fathers side liked Gin and Bass Ale. Yuk! But this Gin drink does it:

I use this recipe occasionally over 2 shaken frozen glasses with lots of ice.

1/3 oz lemon juice laced with lots of sugar to make a syrup / Plastic lemons work, Granulated sugar works but you should mortar it.

2oz of Sapphire Bombay Gin.

Topped of with Botticelli bubbly white wine.

Tastes somewhat like a Fresco Pop or a fizzy Pepto-Bismol Tablet in a glass of water. Would not be surprised if you dropped a Pepto-Bismol Tablet in a Gin and Tonic if you didn't get the same results - ROFL !

Results: Hard hitting and beware of the Hangover.

I do like Forgotten Weapons and Ian McCollum.

Casablanca - Probably the best Cock-tale Flic of all time - A bar scene: "Give her a French 75" ;o)

Been fancy for the 007 Dry Martini and Margarita's on occasions as well - I like Mexican Mescal - There's something about that Yaki Peyote that is unique - With or without the worm ;o)
