The other side of Bridge Street was never the easiest place to have a business due to the unwillingness of shoppers to cross the street ! I recall the Cydesdale electrical, Liptons, R.S. McColls, a carpet store, Marley tiles being there. Upper Bridge Sreet had the Lipton's cafe, A4 Print and an office of Olivetti.

Agree with most of the posts here. A tired clapped out format badly in need of a revamp - a bit like Top Gear.

As Winston Churchill once said "Jaw, jaw is better than war, war".

Happy Christmas to all on the forum and at ICT. :018: :thumb04:

Bruce Rioch for Caley Thistle ? I'll believe that when I see it. Interesting possibility though.

Utterly shocking display by ICT. Things are at a very low ebb at The Dump. Major changes are required - NOW !

Aye, old Inverness was a cracking place to grow up in years ago. It was a town with character and characters but today it's become so cold and impersonal. You could be in any other city in Scotland or Britain.

My dad knew him well when he worked at the Tomatin Distillery. One thing for sure, they don't make them like Jock any more. Sad news.

It'll be Lewis Hamilton but he'll need a personality transplant to qualify !

Aye, I've tried to give Brew the benefit of the doubt but I'm beginning to question my judgement here.

Aye, he'll have a point to prove next week - and why not ? Good for him yesterday though.

I came across an old book The Royal Burgh of Inverness - Street and Householders' Directory under the stairs which is quite fascinating. I know Baron Taylor's Street has been mentioned in previous threads but it lists the following businesses:- Bunny's Bar 15/21 D Davidson, plumbing and heating engineer 23 Wm Taylor & Sons, slaters 2 DHSS 20 Health Food Store 22/24 Nairn's, photographic dealers 24 B Gordon, optician 28 J E MacDonald, kiltmakers and tartans 30 Inverness Slaters Ltd 32 Macfloors 34 Inverness Thistle Football Clubrooms 34/36 Hays of Inverness 40 Emslie & Simpson, electrical appliances 44 Nursery World 50 Eagle Bar 52/54 Hugh MacKenzie & Son, bootmakers

Mystifying decision - like so many others at The Dump.

Surely things are going to look up for us soon. This dreadful run of results can't go on. Or can it ?

Robbo as manager; Pele as assistant/scout.

Can't argue with that after seeing the Rankin goal.

Not the kind of thing a manager should be saying about the fans. This is supposed to be a team of professional footballers who should play to their very best with single-mindedness and think about nothing but winning.

Quite a goal and it didn't half make Boruc look stupid. Selling Rankin to the Hibees - Brew's worst decision ? Oh, apart from buying Barrowman that is.

Surely we can do a lot better than this. Listening on the radio it sounded a pretty dire performance. Why wasn't Rooney on from the start ? As for Barrowman - waste of space (and money).

No, we'd better not laugh at Livvy because if we did we could be laughing on the other side of faces before too long IMO.

Leeds United were undoubetdly one of the major English sides of the 1970s but their current status is indeed a sad one. I am sure they will come back into the Premiership in the next few years just as the English side I follow - Burnely - just might under Owen Coyle.

With 2008 drawing to a close, which albums have you bought this year ? Mine have been:- Metallica - Death Magnetic AC/DC - Black Ice Buddy Guy - Skin Deep Walter Trout - The Outsider Joe Bonamassa - Live from nowhere in particular Jeff Beck - Performing this week ... live at Ronnie Scott's Walter Becker - Circus Money

In recent years Gaelic has spawned its own support industry of big money jobs for Gaeldom's mafia in the quangos with millions of pounds thrown at it. Let it die quietly and let's move on and the Gaelic fat cats can move into the real world and earn their living in a real job. Rather unlikely I would say.

Very pleased indeed for Jamie. Well done and hopefully the first of many caps. :thumb04: :015: :018: ;)

Yet again Caley Thistle players overlooked by Burley. When will one of our boys pull on a Scotland shirt ?
