Why do people persist in starting such provocative threads???

Don't they realise that in some cases this can be like a red rag to a bull?????

Personally, I like Runrig!

[The Mantis]

Wolfstone  :021:

Its illegal in Scotland to mention those bland has beens in the same sentence as the Peatbogs  :018:

[The Mantis]

Even if I liked those feckers I would never say it in front of Mee  :015 :015: :015: :015: :015:

Only good thing about Runrig is, Donnie Munro used to live near us and his crackeen wife used the same swimming pool as I did :crazy04:

Born in Glasgow

Born - 12th August, 1949, Glasgow, Scotland. Mark was seven years old when his family moved to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in England.

another source:-

Mark Freuder Knopfler, OBE (born August 12, 1949, Glasgow, Scotland) is a British[1] guitarist, singer, and songwriter. His vocal style is best described by the German phrase, Sprechgesang – not quite singing, not quite speaking. His use of guitar has been compared to adding another 'voice' to his songs.
