Scarlet Pimple

Laurence --you had me in stitches..

IHE you are awful, but I like you.

And no doubt it would have to be played at Hampden Park or similar locale . Because ICT could not afford to pay any team big money with a small crows like that at Tulloch Stadium/ By the way I seem to remember that there was a recommendation to re-name Tulloch stadium the Jock MacDonald stadium....that's assuming I got his name right?

So it's no longer a rumour then? I hear the team is going to go out on the park in their kilts and then do a "Knees up Mother Brown" routine. Then the plan is for them to disappear up the tunnel , change into their strip, come out and handily beat Charlton since Charlton's guard will be down....and, hopefully,. out. It's pre-season guys! C,mon. This will get the fans cheering and laughing and we will make a huge number of friends , get our name in all the English papers and will be invited back for sure.

Charlton-- It's also a wee trip for the players to get them enthusiastic about the new season and the club.

If ICT can hold their own in the first ten games or so then maybe they can get better and better. But enthusiasm against some of the teams like Motherwell and Celtic might not be quite good enough. This does seem to be a young team and not much experience it seems. Foran will have to set the pace by example Comments from those of you who have watched these players in action?

About 31 players then? Full roster eh? Hope the fans turn up to support the team.

Laurence You are the man and I will if I can. I've placed a shortcut on my desktop and will no doubt get around to it soon. Thank you for the reference.

Oh sorry Yngwie I read it the first time as a kilted not kitted. And so I fully understood why she wouldn't come downstairs, right away anyway.

Thank you for that !

HSWHW--I was thinking the same thing. Aand then another thought entered mah heid...."Who would have thunk it?"

I ONCE FOUND AN OLD DOCUMENT RELATING TO A HOUSE PURCHASE TRANSACTION IN THE 1700'S.IN MY ATTIC IN MY HOUSE IN Edinburgh A LOOOOOONG TIME AGO. I AM THINKING OF OFFERING IT TO THE SCOTTISH MUSEUIM OF ANTIQUITIES. Anyone want to buy it though ?

You say that Brill was shouting instructions to the boys eh? Then was it Shrill Brill and not Kill Bill?

Praise indeed, King Beastie/.

Confident! ; Terry will continue to pull rabbits out of the hat and, assuming he stays, things will be fine.

Now we are being taken seriously. We've arrived. Whee!

Bughtmaster. Himself has already sent you a p.m. and is awaiting a reply with bated breath. He's muttering under his breath though "who is this guy..etc etc? ". Alex, one can never be complacent about sales. This is especially true of a business and it can creep up on you until one day you wake up and find that things are not what they used to be and it's a wake up call all right. So, onward and upward. Unpublished authors cannot attract an agent of Traditional publishers because they are paid a commission and thus if the book doesn't sell then they don't get paid, so they are nervous and timid right off the bat on taking a chance on any untried author. Thus self-publishers have to get off their buttie -wutties and sell their creation themselves. And, in the process, combat scepticism or inertia. But an ebook for $2.99 U.S. is hardly likely to have you crying in your beer if you don't like it so ..just take a chance and I will refund your $2.99 if you are not happy. BUT, you have to agree to read it from start to finish. Fair? Cheers S. S. P. P. -- Son of Super Product Pusher. Cheers S. P.

Keith in the news, eh? Och, well, it's pre-season so maybe I can digress a wee bit without attracting too much censure: The original Earl of Keith (and his family) ultimately became one of the wealthiest men in Britain. I think he came over to Britain with the Duke of Normandy in 1066. Then the Duke ran out of land in England to hand out to his buddies and he moved north to the arable lands around the Moray Firth. Then they built another stronghold higher up north of Inverness closer to Wick. The clan has a very interesting history....unbelievable actually. And bloody and dramatic like the time when the Fiancee of the Earl's son was kidnapped by another besotted north-western Chieftain , imprisoned in his tower and repeatedly assaulted until the poor lady could not stand it any more and jumped out of the high tower's window to her death. That really put the cat among the pigeons and all hell broke loose north of Inverness. Sounds like the basis for a good book ....smile ?

You naughty boys. Scarlet is blushing but you will never be ABLE TO TELL SINCE HE'S RED ALL OVER ANYWAY hA hA! It's also an American and Canadian term for a hot dog --or the meaty content, anyway. You know a sausage inside a hot dog bun with loads of mustard and all the fillings. Do I need to send you a PM Rainbow or ....er....do you now get the joke, like?

As far as Roddy Rhodes is concerned you might be on to something. Tell you what, Bughtmaster, I will ask him to send you a p.m. soon.. I do know he was out there about 1955 through 1957 at an air base named Jever doing his 2 years National Service but spent a lot of his time down a radar site hole in the ground at a place he once mentioned--sounded like Broxetel-- and felt like a mole when he came up for air.That's funny eh--should be, it's how I remember all this stuff. If you prefer to talk to him rather than me, whom I think you will find much more interesting, go right ahead.; Indulge yourself and get it out of your system. You'll be back though....you'll be back. Meantime go on, have a good read of Destinies in Motion; 12 Chapters at about 30 pages per chapter will have you ready for a nice kip every night for the next 1-2 weeks. Then you can let me know what you think of it. Then, of course, Mrs B. M. will want yer Kindle or Sony so she can read it too....she might like the young heroine falling for Validar, the knight in not -so- shining armour, who came through the portal from another world by mistake. He saved her life so she is quite taken by him! Of course he has a nice horse named Lachin, who can sure move his feet so....women, eh? Maybe Mrs B. won't be able to go to sleep otherwise because your laughter will keep her awake.. some of the characters in the book are real CHARACTERS and no mistake; thinks, reminds me of this site in a way, you never know where the next surprise is coming from...... Cheers, B.M. Cheers

Tichy take it you got the contract, eh?

I once went to the Doctor because I felt something sticking out of my back. He said, "My,My! Youv'e got a tick and I will have to give you an injection to prevent Lime disease." I replied " But Doctor but I was not under any tree, only in the attic, and now I am under stress not trees " " Och", he says, "that explains it, you had an attic of asthma and went to a cool , dry place. Where was the attic into which you entered?" "Just round the corner from Laurence's Southern Scottish abode" I replied. "Did you go there by public transport or in your atticulated vehicle " he replies. "Neither, just walked it so that my hair could be tick-led by the local zephyrs blowing in from the sea, don't you know" . "Atta boy, I see you have the right spirit. The tick must have emanated from Laurence's dusty tomes then? Well, you're all done and good luck with the Tick, Dick." "Uh uh! Doc," I quipped. "I'm from Canada on holiday and I think, from your tone, you meant dick-head.... eh?" "Precisely, because you certainly have taken up a dick-ens of my time so your Boeing 747 leaves in 30 minutes...eh? And now I'm going down to the Caley park to get some sanity back into my life. Have a nice flight Canada Goose --or is it Donald Dick.?" "Neither I retorted " I'm a little, lively, lesser loon, living a lonely life longing for love on a lovely large lake near Toronto, Ont. on a large estate owned by a fella named Scotty. Got some nice chicks there though..........

All I care about is that he scores goals and I can continue to riposte to good posts as follows: "Och aye, Jock Mackay.!"

What's this all about ,eh? It's about correct ness as in being self-rightwoeeusd and staid anda, and.,,,I think!? Why, what I am surprised about is that Bughtmaster can type anything on here correctly. After all , getting old, like he is, must be a real burdennnn,especially when you see three sets of characters at all times wth everylook. That's fine if you are luking at a pretty girl but most of the punters on here are no that and so it's ju[-ist a burden...eh? Spell checkers ar the ebes knees though exceopt that you need to be able to see what they produce to ensurethet aye doing the jobbie and all. Thank goodness owd Scarlet is gude at spennling-he shoudlbbe I learned at the feet of the maestro IHE.And thes days he is so tired and wan that he jist can't be bothered to spemd the time on reviews allt he time.But I have to hand it to hom, he does try, most of the time, onyhoo. Right! Back to the splell chicken.
