  1. :P teat I posted a word at post #500 which was not a word and no-one noticed, or they daren't challenge me. yazr coloquial glaswegian - pre-empts a general insult - yazr aw a bunch o gullible bawbags
  2. Did a google search for Dalneigh farmhouse. And very much on topic too. :P farmhouse_google.bmp
  3. Yes, I was looking at the Dalneigh bit with great interest as well. I reckon the buildings marked "Dalneich" were probably the buildings for Dalneigh Farm. Before I saw Scotty's overlaid maps I guesstimated they were round about where the right angle between St. Valery Ave and St Ninian Drive now is. It seems I was about 150 yards out since they seem to be between the St Ninian cul de sac and St Mungo Rd. Interestingly enough "Dalneich" was how my granny (born on Shore Street in 1899) pronounced it. At leisure I must zoom in on other part of the town. I always thought the Manse was the farmhouse. Note the Militia Depot on Telford Road. It's a matter of time 'til it returns.
  4. Why is this in the rumour mill?
  5. But they need the Scottish game more than the Scottish game needs them. Time to call their bluff.
  6. Finland play 26 games in a 14 team league. This could release the ugly sisters to tour the states or wherever and generate spondoolachs. Win win?
  7. Continental 1s look like 7s don't they? So are you sure that's not 77? :D
  8. Sweden play 30 games in a 16 team league, I'm sure fans would be willing and able to shell out more per game if there are less games to pay for and Scotty's idea about a revamp of the cups could make them more interesting (qualifying leagues tables? More teams in the mix?). I''m sure it can be done.
  9. More maps here and here. Interesting to see the Muirton HOTEL on Telford Street before there was a distillery there. This one is from the same era as the one I posted and is superior scan quality. Interesting to see all the landmarks that my father would have seen as a boy. Click on the top cente map to zoom in. HERE
  10. Talk slower Richie. :D
  11. That can't be? Is it Legal? Is it Moral? Is it Fact? Surely not? FFS!
  12. It's from 1913 extracted from "A Handbook for Travellers in Scotland" by John Murray (maybe Mr Leakey can find one for you) and there are many more HERE
  13. Well there you go, the baths and laundry were in the same building at the same time.
  14. Are you sure you weren't duped into paying for a dunk in the boiler?
  15. Does baby look like John Terry?
  16. Are you sure about there being a swimming pool there Charles? I remember hearing about my Granny and Aunty working there and taking my baby cousin to work with them. They left her in a laundry basket sleeping while the worked. She died a few years ago but would have been about 70 now so that would make you what? Were you in school with Johndo?
  17. Would that not be the laundry Charles?
  18. Thirty twelve, eleven quarters and two weeks. :001:
  19. Condolences his family and his colleagues/team/fans, etc. I fail to see how the cause of black managers differs from other managers though.
  20. The thing about unspoken rules is that they are also unheard. If one of my mates went off with my ex, I'd have to buy him glasses, a stiff drink and a course of penicillin. ;)
  21. Grounded?
