    Mays Away

    Here comes Second Lieutenant Rory Stewart then.
  2. It's been bugging me, but finally placed what that reminded me of... Got a bit of "What's the Frequency Kenneth" about it.
  3. I seem to have taken a note that it's between 26-28th March. Dunno how reliable that is, nor which of those days.
  4. I'm sure they'll squeeze one in somewhere. From Wings... Maybe Brexit-2 ref as well?
  5. Probably because other countries have not voted yet.
  6. Good on ye Niki. A decent age, considering. A fair few of my heroes came to grief in racing in your time. RIP
  7. Levein referred to something like that on The Hampden Roar interview. Not that he refused, but that he got let off on two charges he thought he'd be busted for, then next thing got the job.
  8. At least Bonny, you are a one line troller and not toooo tiresome. Any reason why the arrow exits to the right btw?
  9. I agree with you there, despite wishful thinking. However, with the games Alex Mcleish was handed, the run of (unsurprising) losses did not help. I'm sure some folk here predicted problems then too. Has June* ever been good for us? We need something soon to start getting enough momentum for those play-offs. *OK I'll stop mysel' there. Best result this decade was the win in Zagreb... in June
  10. Can I have 2 seats from Larnaca please Davy?
  11. I can present myself as an accidental foil of racism, though the loud one may or may not have thought himself as such. Once upon a time as a youngster I remarked that a young black American, a quiet lad (like me) had a Scottish name - Campbell. Oh dear, his boss, ex. navy (big, white and very loud), took that lead to rip the pish about his ancestry and his mother. All good banter like? Maybe. Wee Campbell kept quiet. I met young Campbell a year or two later and feck me, he had been working out. Jeeez, impressive, but I still feel bad. Was that partly me? I felt awkward at the time, but learning more about how Scottish names were taken takes me back to the incident and I feel even worse. That's why I remember it. I'm sure Glasgow named Jamaica St. proud in the trade and wealth created (Jamaica was worth more to Britain than the lost American colonies), but I'd be afraid to go and ask folk over there what they think about us.
  12. Glasnost. Best loud of course... Track one of Sonic Brew. Like ly to bust your speakers if you left the amp up loud from last time. So turn it right up 😁
  13. Cheers ET! I do remember the Outspan boycot, though more the blue rinse cringe. I however still cringe just waiting for a bus on Union St now though, so wish somewhere else's name like that was chopped
  14. I was waiting her joining in. That was a while ago, and this is surely from well before 2017 anaw...
  15. I plan on my first Munro of the year tomorrow. A wee bit late, but I'm a wee bit slow. The forecast at roadside level... hail & snow flurries. The wind'll rip my breeks aff at the top then. But it's May ffs!!! Mind you I've seen poor flowers in the garden shredded by hail in May before. Ne're cast a clout...
  16. Who or what was Sandton? A racist filled swamp? Well Glasgow renamed Sandton Square to Nelson Mandela Square, but didn't touch Queen St, George St, Waterloo St, West Regent St, Argyle St, W. Nile St, Dundas St. nor the other great and the good streets.
  17. Here's a wee contrast for youz. Musical and political. Bells of Berlin vs John Maclean.
