  1. He looked competent alongside McKenna recently at CH,but he's burned his bridges now,so he can clear off. .....Derek currently taking in the Finchley on the Minge game for a potential replacement
  2. Disappointing effort as far as rhyming goes.Have a dairylea
  3. We went up to Kintail last w/e to stay in a bothy(Camban) overnight and bag a few hills the next day.Got up onto the first ridge and realised the snow was a bit more avalanche-ish than anticipated and decided not to risk it. Thought I'd post some details up,as its well worth a trip to the bothy alone,with some of Scotlands finest mountains flanking the route,a triple waterfall(Allt Ghranda) on the way,and ending up in a remote glen with access to some great hills,if you can be arsed. Park at the Kintail outdoor centre,Morvich,near the caravan park,and follow the track up the rhs of the River Chroe..Its just a case of following this track all the way past the Allt Ghranda,and on to Camban. Total distance around 10 miles to Camban from Morvich.Total ascent appx 350m.Took us appx 3hrs with full gear and a shared 10kg bag of coal. Camban bothy IMG_4108 (2) by [/url], on Flickr Inside IMG_4097 by , on Flickr No electric,no water(stream nearby),no toilet.2 rooms with 4 bunks,and fire in each room(no fuel) Top tips - Get there before 4.We got there at 3 and thought we had the place to ourselves.By sunset it was a full house,(holiday w/e). Go in summer,no fuel to carry
  4. Aye,decent line up with what weve got.Think a Stewart /Christie swap could work,as could a Stewart/McGinn swap. Maybe better we had that limp effort at Hearts,and hope it was just a(nother) bad day.Got to be up for this.COYR

    Ach nae my kind of manager,but a likeable enough chap.Think he was manager at Hamilton when he gave the Souness Huns a couple of embarassing defeats. Chain smoked or inhaled cigars hence the rauch voice?.May be what finished him off.
  6. Always seemed a decent chap when he spoke,and probably wasnt aware of the more sinister side of the Hun relationship with Unionism at that time
  7. Another was the wee Gordons bakery opp the DSS on Dee St last year,and Kelly of Cults had a fine bakery section.Was there a Strathdee bakery somewhere,and are Chalmers still on the go? *Haha - just seen the new jam/dairylea/rowie changes in place of the the Simmie/Durrants.
  8. Top photos look a bit parched post summer,but some similarities to Scotland in a couple of pics.Bottom pics are more what i remember the Nelson/Motueka/Marlborough area, South Island looked like A couple of guys dropped out of hillwalking this last w/e,so my Sisters loon offered to come along to A Ghlas Bheinn instead. Started off quite promising.... IMG_4055 by [/url], on Flickr Got very near the top but the snow started coming in,and he didnt look too comfortable.Hung around for half an hour to see if it would clear,but decided to head back because it would get dark soon. Forlorn looking nephew IMG_4071 by , on Flickr 5 mins later the skies cleared and we realised we'd only been about 100m from the summit
  9. Noticed some butteries(ok,rowies then) in Herds the butchers of all places.Asked them where they got them,they said they make their own . Admiring their British entrepreneurial spirit,I splashed out on a couple,........ but have to say they were no more than average at best . Next stop is the much fabled Aitken rowie.
  10. A good 3 points. Coming into a bit of form at a good time COYR
  11. Nice one Kenny
  12. Sound well on top at pres.Stewart playing well...
  13. "Cutting edge fashion? " ....as opposed to renewing your Wrangler Jean/Jacket combo fae Mr Beaujangles etc Mind the Black Dog and when it was Cammies.Pool thru the back and a band in the lounge at the w/e.Me and another guy worked on a farm up near Parkhill,and used to motorbike in to the Don View thru the week in our stinking boiler suits for a couple of pints/darts.Owner was desperate enough for the custom not to worry about the farmyard stink. Mundurno mill now and again,though it was a bit up market for us peasants. Tobys and the Scotstoun later
  14. Cant see him getting that job at this time,....maybe after theyve been sat in the championship a couple of years.The Baggy fans seem a bit luke warm about him as a candidate too
  15. Theyve changed the way they calculate the attendance to include ST holders not present I think? 15k and 14k still seems very optimistic though.Looked around 11k in the ground both games
  16. Unexpectedly handsome win.Started off a bit low key,but the goal seemed to bring us to life.Good to see May getting a goal,unlucky not to get another. Coincedence that Christie excelled with Mcginn out the side?.Not suggesting we drop one or the other but be good to find a way to play them both. Hopefully a springboard for the rest of the season.COYR
  17. I rarely watch TV but I watched a DVD of Romper Stomper the film about 10 years ago. Not the most PC film Ive seen ,but an entertaining watch
  18. Haha had a wee look the other day,N + T,Donosaurus etc etc,is a bald middle aged ex pat in Oz.See he's still calling anyone a hun if they dont have his opinion Think he was banned a few times on Abmad hence all those user names.Unless he's visiting,nae sure RST realises he's in Oz In or Oot - Was oot,but now in I think Far - Mainer having a nap Pre - Driving Post - Kintail Prediction - Deek needs to try and spice it up a bit,or blood a youth for a bit of interest. 1 - 1 Considine
  19. Whatever the best rowie is supposed to taste like,the best one Ive ever had was last week from the wee sandwich shop on Esslemont Av,on the corner of Northfield St,or place. Flaky,with a wee bit of a crunch(might just have been stale). Was affa fine though.Nae sure of the supplier. Ah'll nip back and see if it wasnt a fluke....
  20. Yass..ish

    Wise words Doogie,i'm sure......just gies another hour or 4 to reflect on them
  22. Not sure Ive seen that particular clip.Am to be seen bouncing in the Paddock. What a buzz walking up Merkland road afterwards
  23. Curry night with a Black Label shiraz. Very nice indeed
  24. Whatever happened to proper courtships Dons wee 9 month dip in form to come to an end with a 4 - 1 Jute mauling. (King Kenny x 4) Season starts now.COTFYR
