    was just going to tell you i had pictures of your old man in a dress and then i noticed this!!! i'll need to look them out, think i gave them back to my mother, i've got ones that have kemmel and cecil in them as well as this motley crew, i remember the day well, kemmel got foo and went on the greasy pole that they had set up at the head of the quay, must have been lot more water at high tide in the corner at the steps in those days, kemmel kept falling off intothe water, dressed in a lovely frock, he then stripped down to his Y's and tried again, hilarious, as you can see my old man chickened out and went for the hotpants look, bib and brace dungarees cut off at the knees, braver men than me, you wouldn't get me sitting quietly while my son murray applied make up to my face, tho i reckon i'd make a better looking tranny than that lot, c'mon, naw even rikki wid chance cubby!!!!!

    got you now, i was gettin a flash of a pic that was in the courier, as for this pic i just realised that i'm older than all of them in the picture, i think it was 72 or 73? i remember my faither's half brothers son, the other john shaw(old fla got called murray instead of john, his first name cos there were two of them in carradale school) was visiting that day, last time i saw them. the old man wouldn't have been forty in that pic, cubby was a bit older but still youngerthan i am now, jeez i must look good for my age!!!

    just had a thought, that might naw be tae in the red hotpants? it could well be kemmel, i'll need to look my pics out to be sure, to be sure!!!:)

    true, that crowd helped me decide at a very early age that strong drink was not for me!!! as a young boy we lived next door to bill and cathie stewart who's daughter doreen was married to billy wareham and at new year all hands would end up in our hoose, billy and cecil and yer faither providing the entertainment, hamish and moira tae, ginger wine tae, a wee danish pastry tae, cubby was aboard with the old fla so him and flo would be in attendance and that Ahole alex kennedy and his missus, even at that age i knew they'd had too much when my old man started singing, he was as he used to say "timmer tuned" whatever that means? all i know is he coona carry a tune in a bucket, he coona even tap his fit in time to music, thankfully we all take our musical ability from our mother, tho the jury is still out on allan!!!
    good chance i'll run into tae this morning when i'm over at the hospital, usually do, i'll ask him if he got any offers fae biter when he had his outfit on?
    I carry a tune just fine, now your sister is a different matter all together. Apparently I'm going to see Nickelback for my birthday. Strange that it's not me that has their albums, but the wife does......

    not sure i could sit long enough to hear the one hit? said for years now the only person you'd get me to go and see is springsteen, he plays for longer than the 45mins that most of the current heroes do, but after watching the hammy superbowl performance i'd hate to sit and watch them do rosalita note for note, action for action, the same as the video clip i have from 1979!!! i've a feeling they would.
    your neice is affronted cos her mates have all added the space invaders clip to their bebo pages, back in fashion after 27 yrs
