  1. Im wondering if one of them you are thinking about was Munros the Bakers? I just remember them having the most tasty pies EVER. Only downside was....they were a little on the small side...but i have yet to sample a tastier pie. I think they were certainly about in the 70's, very early 80s, roughly where Scotscoup bookies was (before it shut) That was Munro's on Tomnahurich St, One baker who worked there was Alan Mackinnon from Delneigh who was a friend of my inlaws, baked our wedding cake in 1982 a good present! He was a POW in WW2 and after escaping was living undercover in France with a baker where he was taught his trade. I think he may have played for Caley but am not sure.

    Jokes

    The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Hodaiki a bright foreign exchange student from Japan, who had his hand up: 'Patrick Henry, 1775', he said. 'Very good!' Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?' Again, no response except from Little Hodaiki: 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'. 'Excellent!' said the teacher continuing, 'let's try one a bit more difficult...' Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?' Once again, Hodaiki's was the only hand in the air and he said: 'John F. Kennedy, 1961'. The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Hodaiki isn't from this country and he knows more about our history than you do.' She heard a loud whisper: 'F . . k the Japs,' 'Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded. Little Hodaiki put his hand up, 'General MacArthur, 1945.' At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.' The teacher glared around and asks, 'All right! Now who said that!?' Again, Little Hodaiki said, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.' Now furious, another student yelled, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!' Little Hodaiki jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouted to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!' Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, 'You little ****. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Little Hodaiki frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witness testifying against him, 2004.' The teacher fainted. As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'that`s it, we're fecked!' Little Hodaiki said quietly, ‘Ally McCoist, 2012.
  3. Should that not read The Rangers and be last?
  4. And your point is? By horse drawn caravan, thats just about correct. Maybe even an under estimate! Even longer via The Clachnaharry, The Bogroy, The Priory, The Ord Arms, The Drouthy Duck and Shunters!
  5. I second that!
  6. I will be checking carefully to see if any of Club 12's home matches clash with Celtics home matches. Somehow. I don't think they will. You will be right on that one!

    Phone rings, woman answers... A pervert, with heavy breathing, says: "I bet you have a tight **** with no hair?" Woman replies: "Yes, he's watching TV - who shall I say is calling?"
  8. I dont know but it looks like his bonnet!
  9. I was following a Macbraynes Bedford from Fort Willian to Spean Bridge yesterday. Brought back boyhood memories travelling from Fort Augustus to Inverness. Here is another AEC in good nick at the castle in 1994.
  10. NO preference for Rangers as a New Co, they should start in the third division if the are accepted at all!

    If that turns out to be true it will be the first decent news from that paper for years!
  12. Thats no way to talk about Prince Philip!
  13. I will agree with you on that! All the best Ross.
  14. Same with me, the whole setup in Scottish Football is ***** but I have renewed mine or it is me who will miss out next season!
  15. The same starting line up as Sunday and even add Christie, Wilson, Macbain, Wilson, Mann and Calder as Subs! :lol:
  16. I agree with all that and as for Mapplebeck he was a Legend of a different type!
  17. Was not expecting much in the way of football today but it was even worse than that!! I am sure we will see better from the Legends tomorrow.
  18. She believes that the town planners of the time quite simply expected an increased volume of traffic with increasing car ownership and the extra housing on its far side so decided to make Laurel Avenue a dual cariageway for that reason. She is not aware of any plan to link the A9 north and the A82 but couldn't rule it out. The town planners must have had a bit of vision back then, more than the planners and officials we have now!
  19. 'Many Scots have died for the Union flag, It is flown proudly throughout the world on all British merchant and naval ships, It is reconised as the symbol of a proud nation. Dont take the blue out of the Union jack' Very good point Laurence, there was once very proud Highland Regements who fought and died in many wars, Camerons, Seaforths and Queen's Own Highlanders all had great family connections throughout the Highlands. Where are they now after all the Tory and Labour cuts? Scotland can survive without Westminster we just need to have faith in ourselves!
  20. He will be out of a job if we all vote for independence!
  21. What about Sir David Murray, could he be the next one to fall and become just Mr David Murray?
  22. Something tells me he will be called Gnasher
  23. Great performance today! The first time this season you could not fault any of the team for effort and determination, a well deserved win. I would be happy to see the same lineup next week if they play like that. A good 8 days for the whole team well done to all. :clapping:
