  1. Kilmarnock are not letting Celtic on the plastic pitch tomorrow afternoon before their game at night! Is it different from other ones?
  2. Very true we played better against Aberdeen and got feck all!
  3. Poor game but delighted with the goal and 3 points before some tough away games!
  4. And we are of to a good start for 2015!
  5. Mantis, think positive we could get an away draw in the cup next year
  6. After the game today it's a Very Happy New Year
  7. Great game and performance today from all the team The only thing missing in Dingwall after a result like that is Adams on the touchline
  8. Danny Alexander's calculator That's where they went wrong!
  9. Typical Dougal even at this time of year his glass is half empty
  10. That's good for Aberdeen but we don't want any sheep in the north stand!
  11. Well Kingsmills you will not be getting a Christmas card from Laurence!
  12. Going a bit of topic DD I was once told that there is a spring or well on Glentruim Estate just west of Newtonmore that the Laird claimed was the center of Scotland. Your geography is quite good!
  13. I think you forgot this!
  14. Yes. I made the point that it was more important to get any changes to devolved powers right than get them quickly and that therefore the Commission should not allow itself to be bullied into meeting unrealistic timetables. It was the three musketeers that stated the timetable for the delivery of all the extra power that they promised, they should not have made promises that they could not keep before the next General Election! I also made the point that the referendum was about independence and nothing else. There has been no democratic test of the appetitie of the electorate for further devolved powers. I therefore requested that any proposed legislation to make significant changes to the legislation should be put to the electorate in a referendum. Another referendum CB would enjoy that Interestingly I recieved no acknowledgement of my submission. Now that's no surprise.
  15. An exceptional result today , this was great after listening to the radio all the hype about Dundee United in second place and if they beat Aberdeen the can challenge Celtic for the title! Now we are back in second place, well done again to all the team.
  16. Derek Adams will be lucky if he gets a job as Santa Clause this Christmas
  17. Thanks Tob, took a long time watching that!
  18. Well worth going out on a cold night for that great performance from all
  19. Yes Charles it was closed from 1917-1919, the Muirtown Basin would have been a lot more active at that time. I wonder if the Americans managed to get a dram might be why there was the odd episode of bother!
  20. Crackers indeed IHE. In the first one the only buildings still standing are the large white one beside the canal on the north side of Telford Street and the two large houses Pine Lodge (I think) on the corner of Cameron Road and Telford Street and the one next to it towards the town center. The two cottages to the left of the old Glen Albyn distillery on Carse Road were demolished when the COOP supermarket was built. The two distilleries Glen Alby & Glen Mhor were demolished in the eighties. The Glen Albyn was used as an American Naval base during WW1. I note on the picture the rail track which must have run along the canal side to the main line at Clachnaharry. Just got me thinking, where did the distilleries get their water supply from? I remember the old (smelly) burn that run down by Carse Farm which took the effluent away from the distillery.
  21. 40 mins walk from Milton of Leys to Bught park! How fast do you walk!? The Bught park idea would be a total nonstarter. The roads at the river side are far too narrow and slow moving. There would be gridlock on the other side coming through town. Would be a disaster. 40 mins-it is all downhill, 2 hours to walk home!
  22. At least we are still in it, hope we get a good win on Tuesday night.
  23. I think they are Scarlet although I have not bought the Sunday Post for years as it was not only the Broons & Oor Wullie stories that were recycled others were a well. Remember most would start with A Sunday Post Man overheard.................... It was good as a youngster though! It was launched 100 years ago to report on the war and continued on from then although it changed over the years.
