And Then The Fight Started
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started... One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gif...

As reported in Australia: QUOTE A church bell that chimed every hour for 200 years has been silenced following a single noise complaint. The 24-hour ringing at Beith Parish Church in North Ayrshire has been stopped after a resident complained to the council's environmental health department that the...

Attn: Roger Pirnie Roger, good morning, this being Monday, 13 Nov 2023. We attempted correspondence last year but as I suggested you needed to register to continue. I remain extremely interested in William and believe I have in my possession several Freemason documents of his which rightly belong to...

Re: Happy Birthday - Jim McCreadie
Thanks to all. I had hoped for a family get-together on Sunday 17th Sep but our eldest twin daughter and son-in-law of second twin will be absent as work on their respective mine sites calls! Ach weel, there's always my 75th next year.
Once again, thank you.
Once again, thank you.

Re: THE BUDAPEST CUP
Neither have I. However, I know of a trophy in Celtic's trophy room inscribed "Awarded to Rangers F.C.". This trophy was first won in 1901 by Rangers as the Glasgow International Exhibition Cup. The following year, to their credit, Rangers put it forward as the "British League Cup&quo...

Have You Ever Wondered?
A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter. What's the big deal about railroad tracks? The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches; an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England,...

Re: Celtic's new Manager?
With West Ham beating Fiorentina 2-1 in the Europa Conference League final, that's Moyes out of the equation! Rodgers? Too many fans will never forgive him for jumping ship. Lennon? Although hard done by, many fans blame him for missing "ten in a row". Broonie? Has insufficient managerial ...

Re: Canal street / Factory Place
As a young boy, I lived at 2 Braehead Place and regularly spent time at the garage in Factory Place. If memory serves correctly (now almost 74 years), it was the A1 bus garage. Viewing Google Earth, 17A/B/C/D/E and F Gladstone Road was then a Post Office behind which there was a park of sorts which ...
