You get the feeling that the police, whilst decrying the fixture, are positively buzzing about the Celtic -“rangers ” game on Sunday. It seems like every hour another edict is issued from Central Control telling the population what they can do, can’t do and can’t even think about doing.
Somehow, a game of football has become an excuse for a state police to more or less impose martial law.
Firstly, the police , astonishingly, from a legal point of view, will round up potential criminals who might commit a crime. Think about that for a moment…
Wife-beating Old Firm fans to be rounded up by cops before
Sunday’s Celtic-Rangers clash.
Note the accompanying picture in the sun which shows just how serious domestic violence can be, especially if it breaks out into a form of country dancing.
I’m not trivialising the issue here, I’m pointing out that others by trying to seem serious are maybe sensationalising something which really shouldn’t be sensationalised.
Detective Chief Inspector Sam McCluskey said investigators were trying to “create breathing space for the victim” before Sunday’s match.
“To do that, rather than managing the risk by just going out to attend incidents, we are trying to remove the risk by removing the perpetrator.”
Perpetrator? He isn’t a perpetrator until he’s actually perpetrated.
The word McCluskey is looking for is “internment.”
Of course victims, and potential victims of domestic abuse need to be protected, but if these perpetrators have indeed perpetrated , should they not be locked up already ? Or, if they are awaiting trial, be locked up already ?
Sounds to me like the police have a better PR team than most, and are merely justifying the g=huge costs associated with policing football, and whereas the Westminster government has doctors firmly in their sights as an enemy of the state, Holyrood has decided that football fans are a much easier target.
Then theres the clubs, who have little choice than to go along with another edict..
Police warn Celtic and Rangers ‘role models’ to be on best behaviour ahead of Old Firm Scottish Cup semi-final
- Rangers and Celtic clash in Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden on Sunday
- Players have been warned about their conduct by police ahead of the game
- Police operation will involve 450 officers before and after Sunday’s clash
- Chief Superintendent Brian McInulty has reminded players of their duties
At this point, I’d like to take a moment to remind Chief Superintendent McInulty of his duties…and those of his stormtroopers.. from their own website, of…
The Role of a Police Constable
What Does a Police Constable do?
To put it simply, police officers maintain law and order: protect members of the public and their property; and prevent, detect and investigate crime. But of course, it’s a much more complex job than that.
It needn’t be, but it is.
You will work to a shift pattern and whilst this is normally over a 40 hour week Police Scotland has a range of flexible working policies to suit individual circumstances.
For example, when hordes of rampaging ajax fans come charging down the Gallowgate, you must shift as far away from the trouble as possible.
We’re an integral part of the community – as much at home at major sporting events as we are in local classrooms. Our work is based in, around and for the local communities that we serve. That’s why it’s important our officers are respectful of the culture and beliefs of others.
Except the Irish diaspora. And their sympathisers.
Make no mistake, it can be a challenging and unpredictable job – as you leave for your daily patrol, there’s no knowing what you might encounter – but it’s also rewarding like no other. You’ll actively make life safer and more secure for everyone around you. And nothing’s more important than that.
Except for football fans. Thats how you make up your wages, with the “arrest bonus ”
As a probationary officer, you’ll come face to face with the community we serve every day: providing the initial response to incidents; searching person(s), premises and vehicles; attending calls; interviewing suspects, victims and witnesses; taking statements; preparing reports; making enquiries into crimes and offences; gathering and using intelligence; making arrests; preserving crime scenes and presenting evidence in court.
Notably “searching persons ” ,football fans for instance. Especially if they have pockets or bags where they can hide things. Or even if they haven’t, hit them until they tell you where they’ve hidden things. And don’t forget threats and intimidation, both handy tools for the young , ambitious officer. We like to encourage that. Helps build confidence.
You’ll need to complete two years as a probationary officer. Following this, you’ll need to prove over the course of time, that you have developed into a fully competent officer, across all aspects of the role before you even start to think about developing your career prospects.
Examples of this “fully competent officer” are available as soon as we find one.
Lateral development can be gained by specialising in a particular area of policing, such as CID, Road Policing, Licensing or the Support Unit. Of course, for some officers with the requisite skills and potential, the option to study for the police diploma can be considered – which is the very first step towards being eligible for future promotion.
Or, simply hit as many people over the head with your baton as you can. Then get your fellow officers to say they attacked you. Collating evidence is a crucial part of police work. Otherwise you have to be put on gardening leave until it all dies down.
I’m going to relate to you a true story, regarding the competence of a police force which surfaced recently. Not Police Scotland, but a major force down south.
A high ranking, but now retired , officer, thirty years service, allowed his daughter to throw a fancy dress party, it got a little loud, but he managed to sort it all out when he returned from his night out.
However, the police turned up, mob handed, and decided to check on everyone.
A particularly enthusiastic officer went upstairs, and arrived back in the living room, breathless, largely due to her somewhat rotund physique, and claimed loudly that there was a young man, passed out on abed, pale and with blood oozing from his mouth.
Our man helpfully, and somewhat sarcastically, pointed out that it was a fancu=y dress party, and the young man was, in fact, wearing the costume of “the joker “, from Batman.
At which point he was arrested, bundled to the floor, handcuffed and put in the car.
An ID check allowed him to be released.
Protect and Serve ?
anyhoo, back to the story about Obergruppenfuhrer McInulty..
The police chief in charge of Sunday’s potentially explosive Old Firm clash has warned Rangers and Celtic players they have a duty to avoid inflaming rival supporters.
Chief Superintendent Brian McInulty, local police commander for Greater Glasgow, will spearhead an operation involving 450 officers before and after the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.
Officers have already visited all four semi-finalists, which includes Hibs and Dundee United, to provide a list of dos-and-donts this weekend.
‘We have worked very closely with all four of the clubs involved in the semi-finals and there is a message there for the players. And it extends to supporters as well,’ said CS McInulty.
‘Let’s make sure we remember this for the right reason.
‘It is a football match we are talking about. For me, football players are role models, there is no doubt about that.
There should also be no doubt that the police should be seen as role models, but he didn’t mention that.
‘Quite often what happens on the pitch can influence people. We have reminded the players of that. Experience shows that.
‘Although we had a game 12 months ago, a lot of the Rangers and Celtic players have not experienced this fixture. So it’s about learning for them.
‘There is a real strong sense of anticipation for this game
‘We have reminded the players of the potential impact that their behaviour on the park could have on people watching that fixture.
Perhaps it would be an idea to remind his officers that their behaviour on the day could also have an effect on people watching that fixture.
And so to the fixture itself, which is becoming rather tiresome and starting to lose attraction every time it gets mentioned.
Ladbrokes have a deal on for new customers if you fancy sorting out your holiday money this year…
we’re going all out for the big game, offering new customers 7/2 on Celtic to reach the final and a whopping9/1 on Rangers!
Plus, if your bet loses, we’ll give you your money back as a free bet!
Simply sign up and place your first bet on one of Rangers or Celtic to reach the final and if your stake wins you’ll be paid out at the enhanced odds!
It appears that the bookies, who are a major sponsor of the Scottish game, have entered into the spirit and have decided that if Rangers can get away with paying their debts, they fancy a shot at it as well.
Look out next season for the “ladbrokes ” Premiership.
The game itself is becoming a mere sideshow…
Frank MacAvennie, who despite this picture, has not had a stroke, claims that a decision on Ronny Deila’s future has already been made.
“The decision’s already been made on Deila leaving don’t you think?
“There are three people who can make the decision – Dermot Desmond, Peter Lawwell and the supporters.
“The supporters will turn out in force for this one and I just can’t comprehend Celtic getting beat because it wouldn’t be a good city for Ronny. He’s got to change the way he plays. When people make mistakes learn from it.
“I understand one up front in Europe but against Scottish teams, especially at Celtic Park, play two up and get the fans back. Play entertaining football.
Celtic, of course, play with four up front.
“This season Celtic have not played entertaining football and the fans have stayed away because of that – no other reason.
“Ronny can stay if he wants as long as he learns from it but he doesn’t seem to be.”
That last sentence…maybe he has had a stroke.
Hidden away in the bowels of cyberspace , however, is some good news… with guardiola arrining in Manchester this summer, there were doubts around Patrick Robert’s loan deal…the player, however, has stated his intentions..
“I’m here for the 18 months and I’m a Celtic player, and what he (Guardiola) does will be for himself and City.
“My decision to come up here was a good one as this is a club with massive expectations. Some players perform better in these conditions and I think this is the case with me.
“It’s been a great experience so far and I want it to continue.”
He’s staying, but as the Etims twitter announced yesterday, Mark Warburton may not be, win, lose or draw on Sunday. His old friend and mentor Harry Redknapp, himself a trader of sorts, has marked him down as Derby manager for next season, beating off interest from Barcelona, who were knocked out of the Champions League this week, and want to take the team in a new direction.
The Record leads today with stories that several footballers will be hauled up to pay taxes they thought they wouldn’t have to, which is no real surprise. Any tax dodging scheme is likely to come under scrutiny at some point, so for the players, whoever they are, to whinge about it now is all a little pointless.
They won’t be the only ones. The 21st century celebrity culture has led to a lot of people making a lot more money than they are used to, and will also have found expert financial advice easy to come by.
This is just the beginning.
It may even be that one or two who are in need of a cash injection have re surfaced for exactly that reason, such as Walter Smith, former Rangers manager who also collected his wages in an unorthodox manner.
He’s been burbling away again, and has some advice for Warburton, who for a few weeks anyway, is in charge at “rangers.
Not financial advice, obviously. Warbs has to stop ten in a row.
“It’s a pressure that will come on Rangers, it will come on right away. I hear people saying that they’ve got time but I’m afraid time and patience were never virtues that Rangers supporters were blessed with.
“First and foremost the challenge is there for Rangers, having been out for four years. It’s a bigger challenge for them than for Celtic who’ve been winning championships.
“So not only have you to go in and do well, you’ve also got to stop Celtic getting that nine in a row towards, dare I say it, 10 in a row.
“Celtic have had a free run and nobody would have expected that circumstance. They’ve taken advantage of it and it’ll be up to Rangers to react.
“That’s the awkward thing for everybody at Rangers – they’ve so much to do to get back and they have to choose whether to sort things around the club.
“There’s a level of optimism there that they can do it and get back to near the level they were at five to 10 years ago.”
“Rangers will get back and it doesn’t matter what they say, it’s a good thing for Scottish football. We have missed the Old Firm. It’s taken an edge off Celtic, there is absolutely no doubt about that.
“Deila has had kind of a rough ride but he has not had the motivation that Rangers bring to the championship.
“If you look at Celtic, they have maybe downsized a bit from when I retired five years ago.
“With due respect to the players that are there just now, I don’t think Celtic are as good a team. Any assessment you have to make of Deila is a difficult one. Celtic have dropped a little bit of a level, maybe quite rightly, because they don’t need to spend the money they had to if Rangers were challenging them for that Champions League place.
“Motivationally, it’s difficult as well because you are going into a season and what is your motivation?
“You are going to win the league because you have won the league for the last five years.
“When that happened before for both Rangers and Celtic when they were winning nine in a row, they always knew they had to beat the other one the following season. Celtic have not had that for four years and that’s been a problem.
“Far be it from me to have sympathy for the Celtic manager but sometimes you have to look a bit deeper than the manager’s input.”
Astonishing.
Of course, Rangers period of dominance, inspired by creative accounting, was completely different…
“Deila has come here, he’s won the league title but it’s not just about that, it’s about the Champions League – that’s how you’re gauged.
Nurse !! He’s fallen out of bed again.
His own record in the Champions League speaks for itself, doesn’t it ?
I can’t read any more of that. It’s making my eyes vomit.
Meanwhile, in England, a refereeing appontment, and subsequent change, caught my attention
The Premier League has removed referee Kevin Friend from Tottenham Hotspur’s game at Stoke City on Monday, because he supports top-of-the-table Leicester.
Spurs are City’s closest rivals, seven points behind with five games left.
The Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) does not pick Friend, who lives in Leicester and has attended games in a personal capacity, to referee matches involving the Foxes.
The PGMOL said “the timing and context” of the game saw it replace Friend.
“It was felt unnecessary to add extra scrutiny on the refereeing appointment,” a PGMOL statement said.
Yet another aspect where the parochial SFA is miles behind the rest of the world.
Surely they should take their lead from England and appoint someone beyond reproach ?
Oh, wait…there isn’t anyone.
Mind you, i guess Celtic have their support in influential positions as well. Check out this impromptu huddle, tow days ahead of the cup game…
Remember, all is not what it seems…

I remember getting lifted by Strathclyde’s finest at the 1989 league game at the rat pit ( 5-1 defeat), in the process of being lifted, much to the amusement of my mates, a senior policeman called me ” a papish bastard “.
After being escorted to Govan police station and put in a cell beside two other Tims, the Polis shouted up to the cells with the scores, ” that’s 2-1 ya fenian bastards” 3-1 and so on!
This was my first real experience of institutionalised sectarianism.
When the former club died in 2012 I spared a thought for those cunts who gave us it tight in 1989!

Random ponderings on a friday,
I have still not decided if I shall watch the game on Sunday. At the risk of inviting unwelcome attention, I swing both ways! There is no doubt that I want a victory, but more than that I want it over with.
I am ambivalent on the return of some entity that represents whatever they represent to the top league. Under normal circumstances I welcome stronger teams in the league. Under competent management that can only benefit Celtic in the long term. However, when their fans behave like a marauding tribe plundering lands that they move across; when I hear the bigotry chanted by people that do not even understand any historical significance of their words, I think it is a poison that is best left in the bottle and buried out of sight. At the moment I am in the latter camp. The league is better off without them. However, reality has arrived and we must face it.
This will be a good test of Ronnies’ abilities. He will have to manage both his team and the environment, especially the ref. Two early goals will change everything. Not sure if Roberts should play from the start since their FB’s need to be monitored. Thst is not his strength. GMS has improved in that department so I think he should start in one of the wide positions. Rogic must play since he is one of the few who can shoot from distance. I really do not know if Commons should start….I am leaning towards NO. He is a bit slow for this type of game. As for the rest, I leave that up to Ronnie, but he better have a Plan B and C.
One prediction that I shall make, irrespective of the result there will be at least one major negative for Celtic. If we win, there will be critical injuries or suspensions for the final. It is the nature of the beast.
Rebus
Rebus you’ll be watching I think the updates you do are welcome by those who can’t watch the game
A post has gone walkabout. Can’t be bothered retyping it.
Have a nice weekend, everyone.

At Lennoxtown they are doing a Hertz,practising with ten players,in case they have one sent off.(sensible precaution)
Enjoy your weekend Rebus.
AH the Scottish Polis,Three days to find you if you have had a crash.
See wee Barry Maniglo is keechen hiself in case he gets a knock at the door,from Hector.
Willny name ma team yet cos thats between me and Ronny,but how could you expect suprises when the team has been playing slightly better,we will go with the Auldheeds,no the Res12 yin.The older experienced players.
Sorry Vinnie,but there is no way Hosie,that he would ditch Broony to let Allan play,apparently he is being steam cleaned at Lennoxtown to stop him giving the ball away in Development games.SOO we will be plying with the experienced pros.
Mike, I wanted the team from yesterday’s diary (I think it was) but with one change, bringing in Kris Commons beside Tom Rogic and leaving out Scott Brown. (didn’t mention Scott Allan) It wont happen but I think it would work. I’d just about guarantee Scott Brown is carrying an injury and has been a lot of this season. If not I would have to say he’s finished. Anyway, just as long as we absolutely tan that shower and sicken the Press, the ‘Polis’ an’ a’ the Pimps that follow them. Now you go an’ huv a wee bevvy and some toast and (lime) marmalade (nane o’ the ither wan) an’ a bit ae black bun fur bein’ a good Tim.

I have just built up enough courage to get out of the bunker. The wife mentioned there was a cop in the street and after reading the diary I thought it best to lie low, very low, and, although originally built to chain up her good self, there was nothing in the deeds to say I could not hide there in awkward situations. If I were a cop reading this, I would be on to Amazon immediately for a pair of my brown incontinence bloomers. The only bone I would pick with you, if you have left anything to pick on this particular bone, is the benefit of taking the abusers out of circulation temporarily must be for the greater good. Sometimes it is much more circumspect to be proactive with potential crime than the normal reactive. I believe this is one time given the statistics from past experiences. I fully understand your cynicism and there is much to justify it. I also fully agree with the precept of innocent before proven guilty and what should be the infallibility of human rights. However, I am also of the opinion there are exceptional circumstances in all of these things and abuse is one of them. I know from personal experience that the police who specialise in these crimes are a different breed who genuinely put the victims at the centre of everything they do. In no way does that mean I disagree with your attitude towards other policing especially that connected to football fans.
Now, having booted you hard in the balls – apologies to your dear wife unless I receive a bunch of flowers as a reward – can I ask a big favour. Please do not quote any more of the garbage spouted by anyone connected to “rangers” or the club their current “fans” used to support especially those who wear cardigans, are generally hiding in untreatable woodwork or are living off illegitimate earnings – apologies to all legitimate whores. I have had five baths and one shower – the numbers somehow seemed appropriate since I could not get the picture of 11 lasses giving it big licks out of my head (and that’s as far as it gets these days) – and I can still smell the stench. This is the sort of consequences I mentioned in my earlier comment on lancelt 1967’s blog. It is one of the reasons I wish these games were over for ever. For me they bring nothing but obnoxious hype and total disruption to normality. In spite of the poor football all season the atmosphere around Scottish football has had a distinct air of refreshingly clean competitiveness up till now. On the bright side, it has been pissing down here for three days. It says a lot when stinking weather is more appealing.
Heavens, Ralph, I am running out of space in the trophy cabinet. Oh, and by the way, I am aiming for ten in a row not a measly three. Might as well win the championship as that.

Well it’s the Friday feeling, I’ve stayed away from the tv as I can’t stomach the same shit we get every time we play them.
Scott Brown to be dropped, I read some say,you must be mad for this will be his game. This is what he does best,he was rushed back,to try and give us back our mojo after some really shameful performances by our team. He wasn’t natch fit,but try and stop him on Sunday get in Broony my son.
My ideal team I put on earlier in the week, two wingers to keep their full backs on the back foot,this is their strong point. Getting their full backs forward,which they could do in the wee league,but won’t be able to do it against our bhoys.

I’m away for more 20/20
‘See you Jimmy’-bee, I assume I was one of those you referred to regarding our Captain, as I suggested leaving him out against “Rangers”. My rationale was/is that he’s either injured or lost his game and, in either case, I stand by what I said. I think the Scott Brown to whom you refer is the same guy, but regrettably not the same player. I’ll be delighted to be proved wrong.
Aside, I’m really struggling. I’ve dreaded ever having to face “Rangers” as all I wanted for them was the same terminal illness that finished their bastard parents. The watp attitude buried forever. I’ve got a feeling I’ll weaken on Sunday lunch-time and watch the game, but I hope I show moral fortitude and just go out for the day and never watch it anywhere, live or otherwise. Just hope we crucify them into double-digits and that all Tims, wherever they may be enjoy their Sunday and stay safe.
HH and good night.
god bless jimmybee

Tell them to fuck of and keep your cash for the Tims and BT sport.Why support your enemies.
If your not in the huff why are you blanking me ya wee fud?
Mike,
I have no idea as to why you think I’m blanking you?
And less of the fud….any more of that patter and I’ll smack you in the pus with a Peh….Ken.
Smack———O,K. Dokey, message received and understood.
Ah well Monti we gazumped Allan from them
Iancelt,
I would never have done what that wee cunt did and change my colours for money, he must have known he was going to hurt the Celtic fans by doing what he did.
Some things in life are more important than money, I would never hurt the Celtic supporters!
Judas Johnston was the last straw , I have just cancelled my Sky Sports subscription . I don,’t need to self inflict their nonsense and obvious bias on myself
Got a really good deal with a huge increase in my broadband for the money with Virgin and made them fully aware of why I cancelled. What a bunch of Fuds SkySports are.☘☘☘
Correcto Monti.
Jim Spence in the ahem Dundee Courier today,saying that the National Stadium is a Disgrace and should have no more money allocated to it,he adds that the supporters cannot see the games except the prawn sandwich brigade in the main stand and that the Governing Bodies are a disgrace to continue to have games played on a surface that even juniors play better on.
He is correcto,the governing bodies need to get told to fluck off.

How’s about getting Desperate Dan down to make a cow pie out of the lot of them. After all they are a bunch of comics, useless ones at that. If anyone doubts the pie is one of Dan’s they just need to check the horns that will be sticking out. As for cooking, well, hell’s fire should be hot enough.
It’s nice to dream. Unfortunately I do not think Scottish football has even one strong pair of male accouterments to do anything about it. I think Turnbull Hutton RIP was the only one with the courage to tell them to “fluck off”. I am convinced our lot are either professional wimps. If not, I am suspicious of their collusion.
I hope you and Monti have kissed and made up. I was looking forward to the wedding 🙂
H H
Pensionerbhoy,
The wedding is still on but I insist on you leaving the werthers originals back home in your house.
I don’t want to hear sweetie papers rustling during the speech.

Mike,
These fucking clowns at the SFA couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery, they have been incompetent for decades….not to mention corrupt!
As the Quadrofenians say…” FUCK THE SFA “!
Monti, Agree with all of that,i hope that someday soon the truth comes out,then it may be possible to move on with a more cleansed game.We live in Hope.
mike
Sorry to offend your grammatical preciseness. The last line of the second paragraph should read “I am convinced our lot are either professional wimps OR, if not, I am suspicious of their collusion.”
Sincere apologies!

Pensionerbhoy, That wee Monti is a braw, braw lad,he like your good self expresses my own opinions better than i ever could.
But and there is always a but we could never be compatible in the Marriage bed,he snores like an elephant,he was staying last weekend near to Bonny Dundee and they could hear him snore in Arbroath.He.He.
And once again you are correct,the governing bodies give a good impression of being corrupt.Turnbull Hutton RIP was a man of integrity and bravery,a bit like Mr Stein,who i greatly admired,nobody would dare to dictate to him.How i wish that there was more like him RIP Big Jock and thank you so much.
My very first Celtic Game was the cup Final in 1960/61,Jimmy Mcgrory Managed the Tic and Mr Stein Managed Dunfermilne,he changed an average Pars side into EUFA Cup semi finalists,beating Valencia i think, when his genius became apparent.I remember to this day the excitement i felt when i heard he was coming to Celtic Park.
If we canny beat the Haugh/Spittoon tomorrow then,god help us.Take good care of yourself and Mrs P.Ghirl.

A good comedian doesn’t need to express himself and you have top notch humour. Your pater is like holy water so keep it flowing just like the Tay – not to be mistaken for t’ Irish drink. I have had many a good time along its long stretches from Crianlarich through Killin and along the loch itself to Kenmore, over the mountains to Aberfeldy wae its birks and braes and along to Grandtully from where you head for the fair city of Perth and the miles to Dundee. I have to confess my favourite town is a bit round the corner in St. Andrews. I am not a golfer but the historic buildings and the architecture in general is outstanding and I had my best ever Italian meal there a few years ago – can’t remember the restaurant but it was up a wee side street towards the golf course end of town. I was also meant to go to the uni there but got found out just in time and ended up driving bulldozers instead.
Good God, mike, free geography, history and architectural lessons too. Ye’re a true Dundonian, anything for nout 🙂
H H
Pensionerbhoy,
For fuck sake it’s Tom Weir!
I climbed my first Munro near to Killin last summer, Ben Ghlass.
Nice part of the country………unlike Dundee 🙂
Monti
Just as auld as him tae but I am managing to still breathe. A wee bit like a club that’s croaked and one that’s ready to croak.
Been up Ben Lawers along the banks of the loch and Ben More just near Crianlarich. Other than that, it has been many an walk but not much climbing.
Listen, leave Dundee alone. Think back to demolition Glasgow in the 50s, 60s and 70s. My, was that not a sore sight for good eyes? I get a picture of a glass house in ma heid.
Aye, the grass will be totally green at Hampden at the final.
I have to return to the bunker now the wife’s back from the shops.

I Bett it was Jessie Munroe,my misses and i love the beauty of this wonderful,lovely country,its just the Huns that put us off,saying that the world is full off marvelous,marvelous people.
We wont be put off by Fuds(love that word).
You are right to explore it Monty and enjoy it
That is what its there for.
Pensionerbhoy,
Ben Lawers as you know pretty much joins on to Ben Ghlass but I made the fatal mistake if looking over the ridge between the two, at that point much arse fell off and said to my mate fuck that.
Think I’ll do it in the summer tho.
Pensionerbhoy, Thank you for your usual insightful post,St Andrews is lovely,played golf there often,my eldest is a member of one of the clubs,he is much better than i could ever be,(Wee Shit)mind hes 6foot 5.
Well height is only relative,I am much better at tennis and ping pong (sounds a bit like an Airport Terminal),
The area you describe is Gods own Country and the beuty awe inspiring,mind we like to explore the Borders to,the misses family come from Selkirk,lovely rolling scenery.Back to the Bunker for you bhoy,dinny let your wifey catch you on the computor.Nice to talk,speak soon.H.H.
Selkirk is a shithole!
HA.HA.HA. is there any place in Scotia that you like apart from Edinburger?
Ralph
See we get the Hibees or the Celtic 3rd eleven. It will be interesting to see if Celtic let Stokes and Henderson play in the final. Oh, after ramora, of course.
Hope Dunoon is nice and sunny. Still pissing down here in NE and I will be adding to it meself the mora afternoon – I got the Iron Bru in yesterday.
