Re: FANCY GAUN FOR A WALK? Ardrossan

I never did understand what FOBEL was supposed to mean. Anyone shed any light on it? It had the same name when it was in smaller premises at the corner of Glasgow Street and Prince's Street.

So they weren't really designed to be kept in a wallet then.

Re: Don't touch my bone

I've seen this kind of thing before where the dog doesn't recognise its own body parts. A type of mental illness sadly. :(

Re: strange things on Stevenston beach

I gave up swimming in the sea after a toalie passed me once at the North Shore. I gave up for two reasons -

1. It was s**** and I don't like swimming with s****
2. It passed me by so clearly my swimming was fairly s**** as well.

Re: parts of threetowns threetowners have never set foot on

Same here, Morag. I don't think I missed a Park Church jumble fair for ten years straight, but was never inside the door. The one I really want to get into is the episcopalian church on South Crescent. I'm dying to see if it has a rood screen. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the beautiful rood...
