Gosh I've rememberd he gave me gas when extracting a tooth and I awoke with blood streaming out of my mouth, he said it's only a short term problem. My mother who was with me nearly fainted at the blood on my cardy, and I said no matter the pain I will never go there again (Poetry)

Does anyone remember a Science teacher who kept his tawse over his shoulder, under his jacket .. gosh I hat.him , and Miss Kinnaird who taught French, called Canary as I recall I also remember a teacher who taught us in the HUTS near the platground and as soon as the weather got good we would say sport and he would drag out a tea chest with cricket gear in it and we would play for the whole period. A lost cause cricket for most of us but at least it got us out of the huts.

Checked the fixture list and when I am home the team is away, I only have 10 days and looking at who they are playing ???? perhaps will save my pounds and go to the Innes bar and look for a baldie headed man

Does anyone remember a shop in Academy Street with a tobacconists at the front, of the shop, before you entered the salon, (loose word) it was modern with basins, I was sent by my late Father to get a haircut and asked for the works, brylcreem hair wash etc. My father said next you go to Diggars!!!

so it is a slow build up eh! LG

What time do you all gather? seriously will/would not wear a Russian hat, but look out for a stranger .. am trying to remember where the Innes bar is!!!

I can remember the Waltzers, spinning round like a maddie, and when I got off no money in my pocket. Nowadays I suppose it is called staff perks????

Nuh thought if I wore a Russian pelt/ hat would be recognised

Well we are over in January for a fortnight, and hope to take a match in , so where is the pre match boozer, I would really like to meet some of you, then. You will recognise me by the pelt on my head Doug

I remember the Ballerina and Two Red Shoes, think they were run by Albert Bonici from Elgin. he brought a lot of groups Shane Fenton Freddie/ Dreamers and others He also staged a few shows in the old Empire theatre, I remember, Johnny Mike and the Shades, Barron Nights, still going!!

I too remember renzo's . Olga running her socks off but always with a smile. I remember renzo intoducing Anchovie rolls, they didn't exactly set the world on fire but I still like anchovies, but his bacon butties were the greatest- worth standing in line for. On a different line, does anyone remember the 50/50 club ?? I remember a guy called Peem ? was it Guthrie, I begged my mother to buy me a guitar for my birthday, so I could play like him, so we went to the arcade and bought one from Captain Hendersons music shop. I remember it cost 20 gbp then I still have it and it is now so old - like me .

OH treaded in s**it again did I create that?????

Well with a limited choice I suppose we had no other options, and do you really believe Neil Warnock was approached. So where do you obtain shares in ICT??? serious question as they are not quoted

everything you write I am in total agreement with, and yes I am serious

With all you people who know and love ICT, how much would it cost(ball park figure)to take over the Directors interest. As you know I live away, but am pissed off the way the club is going, and have many connections over here, and my wife loves Inverness, so perhaps might dig into the sweetie jar, and it is a big jar. Serious

Were you being sarcastic or was he the best on offer at the time? if so he did ok!!!!

As for my being far away , did he (Charlie) not keep us up in the SPL last Season, which was good, and IHME who are the backbitters you threatened to name, if they are threatening a great club let's all bite there bums too, call them to reckoning. Och well off to bed!!!!

CB I was not even aware , till I read on this site that Ladies of the night frequented, Boots corner. I tried to find Rod the Mod but was unsuccessful, so including the football match nothing to smile about, mind you my wife enjoyed the pies at half-time, so maybe that is a bonus. We did hire a car and did the grand tour so she has seen the Monster, well a replica, she is now checking on the website to see what I did not show her.

Just returned from Inverness, took my wife round my old haunting spots and they have all gone!! It seems the heart has gone from the town, even the Market steps do not seem the same The worst thing!!!! 3-0 on Saturday, we watched the match and she liked the pies but not the score, was it seven points we took last season ?? Anyway will watch with interest, and keep in touch, and keep the memories coming Doug and Natasha

Does anyone remember the Market steps , am I correct , was there a hairdresser on the left hand side, and I remember a house on the right, which we called the haunted house, all boarded up but we found a way in , and I think there was an air raid shelter on the left after the hairdressers shop, anyone remember. Does anyone remember Mr chin the Dentist in Castle Street CB will correct my demensure If I am wrong

Does anyone remember Stratton Dairies when they had horse driven milk floats? I used to help by gathering the poo and delivering the odd pint of milk... I used a wee shovel for the poo!!

Now I have replaced my computer over here in Latvia catching up on all the banter. I claim to be a true Inernessian having being born and brought up in Inverness, although I left to join the RN later well 20 years old. I do remember the chipper at the bottom of Stephens Brae as well, and also Mr Bernadi's shop, what was the bar next door called??? Plough

During a reunion of WWI airmen, decorated fighter ace Ole Olsen of Denmark was introduced as a speaker by the MC. During his presentation, Ole was asked by a member of the audience about his most trying moment in battle. "Well," he began, his nordic accent hanging heavily, "One day, flying over the North Sea, I look behind me, and there's all these Fokkers quickly closing in." At this point, the obviously distressed MC rushed to the microphone and hastily explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Fokker was a warplane used by the German forces." "Ya," continued Ole, "that' true, but THESE Fokkers were flying Messerschmidts!"

A young woman walked into a police station and said she had been raped by a pilot . When she was asked how she knew it was a pilot she said "Well he had a big watch, a little **** and couldn't stop talking about himself" sory could not resist
