I don't see how it could be anybody else. Question-how is her name spelled officially? Billy is a male spelling and Billie is the female spelling. Anybody know?  The reason I commented is because I spoke to someone at CT who clarified the names for me. All were people who had worked at the Terminal. I asked if Billy was a male or female employee because of the spelling. I was told it was a female employee. I was also told that Edward was not shortened because that's how the man was referred to. Today it is more common to use an i or ie instead of a y, but back then names such as Patty, Jenny, Betty, Billy, Vicky, Cathy, etc. were standard. We have a Bobbie!!  And we do!! |

From Breaking News/IRL
Game hunters say they are outraged about the shooting of a peregrine falcon in Co Wexford.
The young bird of prey was shot down on one of its first flights at Ballynastraw near Enniscorthy and had to be put down.
The Parks and Wildlife Service is appealing for the public's help as the bird is a protected species, and shooting them is a criminal offence.
Des Crofton, director of the National Association of Regional Game Councils, said: "Who would do something like that? Somebody who has a firearm and who simply shouldn't have one - and somebody who is completely and utterly irresponsible.
"This is the kind of activity, and the kind of person, which gives the vast majority of good law-abiding, sport shooting enthusiasts a bad name."
