Might be to much voddie or have you gone back in time IHE? A happy New Year to one and all! What a great start to the year something good to build on and I am looking forward to next weeks game again. Well done to the team and the away support today, even on the BBC they mentioned Doran's goal more than once!

Yes that's it the view from the telephone exchange

Well Dougal was wrong but I thought someone might have been there, I will leave it till next year

I did hear recently that there was no sell on clause in his contract which if true is very bad business but we will just have to wait and see if he makes a move and if our club gets anything. I hope for both!

We might have been better watching the Happy Clappers on Saturday ?

I don't know who has it but remember seeing it stopped for speeding by an unmarked police car on the A9 coming home from a cup game a few years ago

Well Jaggie you watched a crap game and got no macaroni pie. Not such a good birthday!

Thanks for all the reports and all the good work done on the forum ? As for the team on reflection I think it must have been to much turkey and ??at Christmas.

And that's what we need to do again starting in January

Honking today ? Nothing else to say!

Just heading down hoping for a good 3 points!

Where is this?

It was late 1995 when I first traveled to the Western Isles and on my first trip on the Isle of Lewis there was a hell of a clatter every time a wave hit the bow! I also think the Loch Seaforth (photo below) is a far superior boat which seems to glide through even rough seas although I think they could also do with a freight service as well but it will be down to lack of money. I was never on the Suilven but heard many stories about it, one from a friend who was a lorry driver and regularly traveled the route who left Stornoway and by the time they reached Loch Broom it was to rough for berthing in Ullapool they sailed back across the minch and it was to rough to berth in Stornoway, after sheltering outside Stornoway for 12 hours they sailed back across the minch to Ullapool and finally berthed after 30 hours Here is a link of the Suilven when sailing as a freight boat in New Zealand don' look at it if your going to be travelling on a ferry soon!

Yes an easy one for me Alltsigh Youth Hostel. There was an old BT Repeater Station just across the road.

I would pick Ryan Christie as he came from our youth teams to first team in the Scottish Premiership and was part of the winning team. Although he left for Celtic halfway through he is still 'One of our own'

That was in Lerwick but it was on loan to Cal-Mac for a while doing the night freight sailing from Stornoway to Ullapool at midnight and returning early morning. I managed to get on the Hascosay with my van one night as there was a storm brewing and I was due to sail home from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis at 07.00 the following morning. It was a better sailing in rough seas than the Isle of Lewis although there were no services on board you just grabbed a bunk and went to sleep till they woke you up at 3.00 in Ullapool, lucky I always carried a sleeping bag in the van

This one should be easy for Boxing day.

I have not been on that one. I think you have been on more ferries than me but I bet you have not sailed on this one!

Finished my pudding (second Day leftovers) and that's The John Cobb Memorial on Loch Ness side

Mantis that's another I have not been on I think you might have more photos of ferries than me I will post some more after Christmas. I hope you have a good one.

It has to be a double for me. The Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic which was a fantastic game of football with us beating the best it was just brilliant. Winning the Scottish Cup although not such a good game was the icing on the cake and as Alan said (something we may never witness again) I was speechless after the final whistle and for those who know me they might find it hard to believe

Yes it was the reserve for the Maid of Glencoul. It is now a based at Invergordon.

The old A9 bridge at Helmsdale.

Just as well you forgot to pee on him if it was blowing a hoolie

That's it the bridge over the Atlantic.
