Glen Mhor

Barry Robson for Middlesbrough against Derby tonight.

Aye, just what has happened to IHE ?

Difficult call this one. On one hand I would like to see them do well to prove to these snooty Central Belt fans that there is football elsewhere in Scotland. If they did go further in the cup and did well there would be no end of crowing and gloating from the Gadgies though. On balance, yes, good luck to them but go to the final ? Nope.

Och, for the sake of north football - County.

Wasn't it called the Telford Bakery too ? It was owned by Francis Gordon Harper and supplied the locally based armed forces with bread during World War 2. His son, Frank, won the Military Cross for bravery in the Mau Mau campaign in Kenya in the 1950s. Frank went on to become a councillor and magistrate.

Well done the boys. Cracking result. Well done Terry and Maurice too. :D

Not one of England's luckiest footballers but at the same time a very good one. Should give him plenty of time to devote to his No.1 interest in life - gambling.

I think the way that Jack Straw and the English legal establishment is trying to keep his latest offence (which appears to be a very serious one) a secret is only further stoking up the public's anger. I hear that The Sun today says it knows the exact circumstances of this offence but is being threatened with a gagging injunction from the Government. How long can they keep a lid on this and how long before it's all over the internet ?

I'd love us to win tomorrow but it's not going to be easy.

I remember when Boots ran a lending library upstairs. I remember when there was a police station at the castle. I remember McLeays TV, model and toy shop on Church Street. I remember when Melven's first brought Private Eye to Sneck (1968 I think). I remember when there was a boutique on Queensgate (where the property centre is). I remember when the Labour Exchange was on Queensgate. I remember when Sneck had three distilleries. I remember Myrtle's Bakery and their great mutton pies. I remember Watson's Handicraft Supplies I remember the Maureen Mhor and the Chrsitian Bach on the canal. I remember the Round Britain Powerboat Race calling at Sneck in 1968. I remember when you could park on Academy Street. I remember when there was a post office in Eastgate. I remember Bowes the newsagents on Young Street. I remember when Wollies had wooden floors. I remember the York Drive Laundry. I remember when MacRae & Dick had a TV and radio shop on Academy Street. I remember the National Commercial and British Linen Banks. I remember the Queen visiting Sneck and trooping up to the Bught Park from school to see her from afar. I remember when there was a ladies' clothes shop called Hoares on Lombard Street. I remember Cairds. I remember Highland dancing and roller skating in the Islands. I remember when there were terraced houses on Railway Terrace. I remember when High Street was two-way. I remember the Stratton milk dispensing machine outside Clubb's shop in Eastgate. I remember Cooper's Fine Fare. I remember the Fairfield Dye Works. I remember J.T.L. Parkinsons on Tomnahurich Street.

I'm 57 and heading for the departure lounge.

It's A Jungle Out There by Buddy Guy from Sweet Tea.

I have a feeling that Barrowman could yet come back to haunt us now he's playing for Them.

There are quite a few hotels which used to be notable on the old Inverness scene and are now no more - the Douglas (Union Street), the Queensgate, the Royal (Academy Street), the Eastgate, the Albert spring to mind. Any more to add ?

Yes, it's a captured Luftwaffe Junkers Ju52 OK ! BEA used 11 from 1946 to 1948 on internal services. They were converted for civilian use by Short Brothers & Harland in Belfast.

As is well known in Sneck, before there was an industrial estate and a football ground, the Longman was the site of an airfield. It was used pre-war by Fresson and by the RAF during the war. Is there anyone on here who has any recollections of the Longman as an airfield ? ;)

Where The Light Is - Live in Los Angeles - John Mayer.

As usual the people who keep the game going - the fans - have been treated very shabbily indeed. Football just never seems to get it - they can't treat their customers in this fashion. It's just completely unaccaptable in the modern world. :D

Skin Deep by Buddy Guy

Catriona is a real honey. A lovely, lovely lassie.

Absolutely superb.

Difficult group, even though the Czech Republic aren't the team they once were.

A Blackburn Rovers fan accoring to Sky News. Very sad that a boy goes to a match and ends up dead.

Aye, Don seems to be doing really well at Watford. How long before a Premiership team come in for him I wonder ? :024:

Aye, good luck for the future Dougie.
