Not 100% sure what you mean by that CS.

But if it's a compliment I'll take it - get few enough wi my family.

I know why I'm on here to have a laugh and to be informed.

Too many folk IMO take the forum too seriously too often.

And at times I'm one of them.

Minute I take JA serious you can take me out the back & shoot me.

Is that a promise?

I'm up first. I know how to shoot

I was taught well...

Aw fvk furgoat you were a sodjer.

Speaking of the which CS - if you've got 5 mins to spare.

I wasn't a Dire Straits fan but acknowledge Knopfler's guitar gifts.

He wrote this song in tribute to a family member.

A Scots uncle who was a Piper in the army killed 1940 aged 20.

Guy I know John McCusker playing the fiddle there beside him.

Knopfler was crippled with sciatica at the time as well.

Not rock & roll bu worth a look.

As usual he wrote his lyrics before the melody.

Haunting IMO, and in the spirit of Brothers In Arms.


When I leave this world behind me
To another I will go
And if there are no pipes in heaven
I'll be going down below
If friends in time be severed
Someday we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end

This has been a day to die for
Now the day is almost done
Up above, a quiet seabird
Turns to face the setting sun
Now the evening dove is calling
And all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling
Clouds are lined with golden thread

We watched the fires together
Shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together
Came so many miles

This has been a day to die on
Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Silent with the battle drum
If friends in time be severed
Someday here we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end.

I had a computing teacher that was quite into them. Years later I found I quite liked them.

<I had a computing teacher ....

Phew!

Glad it was about music.


Miller I get their craft but a bit too mainstream for me.

But then I remind myself they started out early 70's.

Knopfler is an exceptionally gifted lyricist & guitarist.

So..it's no all my fault then

Have to say that I'm slightly disappointed that no bears have told this utter reprobate to gtf.

So much for self policing.

I hope he's here ages if it means we're not shiite.

Fair enough. I'm not sure that's how it actually works though.

Probably not. But im making sure I'm making sure I'm not seen to be driving off the site. Although if it is the same guy as mentioned I hope he goes away.

Lot of making sure in my last post.

Won't be my doing either. He's a sad character. I actually feel sorry for him

Not at all. But I'm fine with letting you build a reputation even if it's undeserved

Magnum<slightly disappointed that no Bears>

Magnum on the surface I agree.

But Bears on here have been at Stalingrad for 5 x the real Stalingrad.


And gey few of us called out Cap Bhoy.

I did a few times - but being a young 50 something I whispered it.

Pre internet quinn?

Well it's -3c in Lochaber and I shall now have a dram

Gotta be back in Sin City by 11am.

G'night all.

I used to like you Miller

I am not averse to stooping low. Old age fun poking is not yet frowned upon in society so up ye

‘ I really don't understand people like you.

Is your marital life (or life in general) so grim that you try and pick interactive fights online?

Weird.’



Yeah, you tried this approach the last time as well. Mate-you defo need new patter.

As for trying to pick interactive fights-

Can’t believe you’ve thought that’s a road that you could go down with clean hands.

My missus might not be ebony clunge, but she’ll do for me.

And most others if the stories are true.

Have you looked at yourself and not thought 'You know what - I am looking daft here'.

Just a thought

Get yourself a new tv, we were world class.

Partick never got out of there half the whole game and we should have had a cricket score.

Very pleased with that and nice to see the hunger is back.

Apart from hitting the post when it looked easier to score and banging in a late penalty you mean?

Ok

Yep it was total dominance and at no point were you ever worried

Interesting...very interesting
