Caley 5 Thistle 0 circa 76 :003: Thistle 3 Caley 4 circa 72 :003: I believe The Mantis is now custodian of a very rare programme from the 76 game

And who was ref on Feb 8th 2000? :006: A fact too often forgotten.

I take it IHE's stint in the York Ward will have caused psycological damage a plenty and thereby created a new career for him in later life. Quite ingenious really. :006:

Yes, I thought rig-opodopolis did remarkably well.

I hope Cuthbert is not his Christian name. That would be too much! :015:

300, and if there was room at the Drumossie we could have sold 50 or so more. It was a really good night with 9 bouts from schoolboy to Superheavyweight. All the bouts went the distance and a few of them were very close indeed. Final score was 4-4 with one bout not scored because of the weight difference between the two fighters.

On first hearing about this incident I suppose I jumped to the conclusion that teenage bravado was at the root of it. That may well be the case but a low sun obscuring the flashing lights could also have been a factor as I see often with traffic lights around Inverness. Two years as a Driving Instructor has both firmed up some opinions but also changed my mind on some others. One thing that concerns me greatly is that new drivers tend to want a licence more than they want to drive well. Occasionally I have learners desperate to do their test before they are ready and putting pressure on me to let them go for it. In the early days I let them do it once or twice but not any more. Those who do pass their tests are very vulnerable. From time to time I do Pass Plus courses for those who have recently passed their tests. They can handle the cars well but lack the experience and savvy that will come with years of driving. New drivers, particularly teenage ones, deserve extra protection though many would not thank you for it. I would make these changes. 1. Limit the size of car new drivers can drive for the first two years to around 1200cc 2. Make P plates compulsory for the first two years 3. Limit new teenage drivers to one teenage passenger for the first two years Other possibilities could involve going down the Northern Ireland route of limiting new drivers to 45mph in their first year. Increasing the age to 18 might also help though it would not do my business any good for 12 months!

Performing mass on a cycle will be an interesting experience for the Catholics of Beauly. :001:
