Re: John Reid, Headmaster, Eglinton/Stanley Schools
Hi, all, having left Eggy school in 1958 I never knew Mr Reid, but it seems that he was a good person and should be remembered kindly. I do, however, remember his predecessor, Mr Alex Morrison with great fondness. Quite a few ex-Eglintonians may rember him lecturing us about the dangers of smoking w...

Re: How Bonnie Leslie came about
Hi, all, Was in the car park opposite the "Champion Shell" in Stinson on Monday night and came across a plaque relating to the said boozer, which I'd heard had been erected by the International and Cultural Agency (hope I got that right). I'd been told about the plaque previously, but thou...

Hi, all, It was in the papers that Kenny McCaskill the Justice Secretary, has decided not to accept a recommendation from some other high heid yin that prisoners should be allowed unlimited access to telephones while inside.

Re: A poem to ponder
Alexmac442, Only just read the poem, thank you so much. Very moving and thought-provoking. I'm tempted to try printing it out and send it to "Phoney Tony" Blair, but I reckon the bar steward wouldn't read it. It should be publicised, however, as at least 90% of the world's population would...
