Yes, I believe 'walking the dog' at the carpark at the far end of the caravan site in Nairn is very popular of an evening. In fact, Nairn was voted the top location in the country for outdoor shennanigans by no lesser a journal than Tatler, the Shanghai society magazine ....see paragraph below the church picture... as it says.... "The council was surprised in 1997 to have Nairn named by Tatler magazine as Britain's number one venue for outdoor sex. " So there you have it - if your up for a bit of a houghmagandie, then Nairn's the place for you.

imagine expressing surprise at Rossco regularly getting booked - it's what he does he puts his right leg in his right leg out he does the Rosco Tokely and he shakes it all about Oh Tokely Tokely Tokely...etc Then he normally gets booked for it.

Ach, living in Nairn is a bit like living on St Kilda, remote, isolated and we work to our own times in harmony with the moon and tides. I note how quickly you picked up on my dogging headline though - I knew it would catch certain peoples attention If anyone Googles 'Dogging Inverness' they should end up with this story about Bill McAllister. I note that Vice Presidential **** Candidate Sarah Palin has a spokesman called Bill McAllister - it couldn't be could the same one could it - can you imagine one of his announcements !!

Correct ! The signs are all there and if Johndo summons up the influence his spirit friend, the great meeting at Station Park will become reality. I'm sure you'd love that too Charles.

The recent Highland Snooze leader on the discovery of a 'grotto of filth' at North Kessock is an exemplary example of sensationalist journalism - it's got every cliche in the book - a 'catalogue of depravity, a 'whistleblower', an outraged councillor............Pervs in the Wood Talking of Highland journalistic excesses, does Bill McAllister (at least I think it was him) still do his pun ridden Highland League radio report which was normally themed along the lines of one of the weeks big news stories - I haven't heard him for a while, but they always made me laugh/cringe.

Anyone else been for a visit to the new centre at the battlefield - I only got there the other weekend ad must admit it's most impressive, if a bit expensive to get in (but then I think everything's too dear these days) I was surprised though, to find no mention or recreation of the later follow on battle of the Keppoch Inn which took place between rival Highland clans the MacNairnacs and the MacHowdenEnders in more recent history

He's got a great Highland name though, sounds like he should have a big mad red beard and carry a claymore.

It's no coincidence that the Bermuda Triangle started to disappear on the day the Hadron Collider Black Hole Generator was switched on. I've had to put a spanner in it's works before the Caley and the Star disappear too. The Vic is the one on the corner and last I knew it was available for lease if you fancy trying your luck, you could be running the bar and DJ'ing at the same time so you'd save a packet. Imagine that, living and working in the Bermuda Triangle and never having to leave it - could life get an better ? As for the football Nairn/ICT connection...er,....umm...ah, - County are away to Edinburgh City in the Scottish Cup on Saturday and if they get through this and the next few rounds until the footballing aristocrats from TCS join the fray, County could possible get ICT at home and you could all get the chance to visit the Bermuda Triangle and Station Park for yourselves. How good would that be ? Must get Johndo to check his tea leaves coz I've got a feeling in my water that this year I'm going to get my wish. The last time County had a Scottish Cup game in Edinburgh (about 1985/6 - I was there) they got through against Meadowbank and then got Dundee (when Dundee were a big team) at home, so the signs are good. Nairn calling Johndo - you must apply the full force of your mystical and ancient powers to this one. Speak with the gods at King Brude's fort, the fairies on Tomnahurich and with the Nessach to make this happen. With the combination of the internutters, Granville, Toich and Willie Bell meeting up with Willie Tiptoe and the Nairnacs in the Bermuda Triangle something magical is certain to happen. Then County can go and and thrash the Invernessians again at Station Park just like in ancient times. COME AWAY THE COUNTY

CB - ah 1976 - a vintage year. I didn't get the dubbing, but I've still got the high waist, side pocket trousers and tank top I wore at Borough Briggs that night. DH - how could you get depressed after a weekend in Nairn when there's the delights of the Canteen and Star to provide all the distractions and temptations a young man about town could desire. When is the Vic gonna re-open ? the Bermuda triangle has been broken and that just aint right

With the rampant levels of dissatisfaction, unhappiness and dishillusionment expressed on this board I think more of you should come back to the HIGHLAND league fold. You'd be made welcome to join me and my old friend Willie Tiptoe at Station Park if you publicly repent your sordid pasts as HowdenEnders/Kingsmillers and ultimately Caley-Thistlers and subjected yourselves to the necessary self flagellation in the centre circle at half time by way of penance. You'd love it - you'd feel right back at home - the clue is in the title - 'HIGHLAND' league - **** the central belt. I know you've got soul If you didn't you wouldn't be in here COME AWAY THE COUNTYYYYY

No tradesmen in Inverness, that's odd, because I'd heard that the use of the tradesmans entrance was particularly prevelant in the sneck, whatever could they have been referring to there then?? At least I must've got the collective noun for Dalneigh residents correct :thumb04: The residences at the East Beach are now euphemistically marketed as 'holiday homes' and prices seem to start at about 25 grand Tilda Swinton had her Cinema of Dreams to compliment Station Parks Field of Dreams, in fact I'd say Nairn is one big town of dreams, with a few dreamers living there too. I love the Highland League mentality so hated by so many of ICT's supporters. It's still got the soul which Caley and Thistle sold to the HIE down at the crossroads. Money - it's the root of all evil. COME AWAY THE COUNTY

You're probably right, most houses in Shanghai have croquet pitches and peacocks strutting the lawns, they are somewhat impoverished though, there's only one polo pitch for the whole community. Artists impression of Shanghai and typically attired resident Dalneighans preparing to head to Nairn during Inversnecky trades holiday

I've just noticed that the Caley U-19's are coached by Scott Kellacher who I think was thrown out of Station Park for being morbidly obese, so give him a few month and he'll have those loons in similar trim to County's thoroughbreds

C100 - That would be the county lads on a quiet night with no fish suppers or narcotics for sustenance and they can still show Caleys pasta and meusli munching metrosexuals a thing or two on the pitch CB - Being more of a cyclist than a runner I'm not sure about the 10k route, but Shanghai (aka Queesnpark) is the salubrious and desirable suburb behind Station Park at the opposite end to the railway line. Similar house styles to Dalneigh actually.

more likely to end up with methodone or alcohol dependency if they're from fife yahoorsir

tut tut Charles, sound like sour Invernessian grapes there as normal service is resumed with Nairn thrashing the combined ******* remnants of the unholy alliance of Kingsmills and Telford St. Whats more, this would be after the County boys rolled out of the Star at 2am last night , staggered to a party in Shanghai until 4 or 5 before waking up in a drunken heap in a strange flat with one of Nairn's fine young ladies, quick taxi home to grab their gear then a couple of refreshers in the Legion before heading through to the sneck for the game. That's what it's all about. 'Athletic and conditioned' indeed Championes etc etc....

Correct what we need is a strapping scottish centre forward whos just the right side of psychotic we'll never get anywhere with a forward line of lightweight midgets a Big Joe Jordan type or a Duncan Disorderly seen here discussing a difference of opinion with the ref I'm sure he's not too old for a comeback

where he go? (or should that be why he go ??) ((I'm a bit out of touch)) (((no comments please about that being obvious from my NCFC support)))

Definately no glory hunting going on here for this one, if anything my glory hunting is done at the TCS It's games like these which reveal your true footballing allegiance and there's no question where mine lies. Inverness can take our dole office, court and council, but it can never take our football team.

You're right Alex, if they're lucky they might impress Les Fridge and get the chance of a lifetime to move up to the big time at Station Park Come Away the County

?8 for the privilege of an afternoon in the company of a crowd of Nairnacs is the best value you'll get all season - better than paying ?20+ to see the showers of foreign prima donnas and their disagreeable supporters that make up the SPL. County supporters giving it to Pele in his days at Forres

3pm to the best of my knowledge

Grant Street Park tomorrow (Sun) afternoon if you want to witness a dazzling display of footballing wizardry from the finest team on the inner Moray Firth en-route to their first silverware of the season. Sadly, I am stuck offshore for it, but a good afternoons entertainment is guaranteed, particularly if combined with a nip in to the Nip Inn, the Nairnacs home from home in our neighbouring 'city'.

That is the rip off culture of Hollywood and the multiplex for you. You should all be boycotting Vue and the other Multiplexes in favour of home knitted cinema experiences.....funnily enough.......... As always, Nairn is leading the world with it's very own film festival to rival Cannes and Sundance....... Tilda Swintons Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams showing obscure Scottish and international classics (everything from Busby Berkely to Singing in the Rain to a 1964 Ukranianian movie) all shown in a homely home grown environment - Entry ?3 for adults ?2 for kids or free if you bring a tray of home baked cakes or turn up in your kilt/pyjamas/buff/whatever The cinema revoluion has started in Nairn.
