PS A -1 for my choice of book to read? Fantastic!!

Go write a book then.....

During my weeks' holiday in June, I was out in the back garden, basking in the sunshine reading this: http://www.quintinjardine.com/sections/Bob%20Skinner/skinnersordeal.html It was lying in a bundle of old books my partner had bagged up for the charity shop and, in lieu of anything else, I started browsing through it. It was surprisingly gripping and, after I compared it to Ian Rankin, Alex Gray and St.Brookmyre's stuff, it stood up extremely well. It is definitely a page turner but plausible and darkly entertaining. So much so that I finished it in two days and went on to the other book she had: http://www.quintinjardine.com/sections/Bob%20Skinner/skinnersmission.html Again, a gripping story and it is linked to the first book I read. In fact, I liked them so much that, with some Father's Day book tokens I bought and read: http://www.quintinjardine.com/sections/Bob%20Skinner/skinnersround.html The Witch element in the storyline could have got my hackles up but it was very sympathetically dealt with and the story as a whole was entertaining. My only disappointment was that I didn't start with the first book in the series, but I am now reading: http://www.quintinjardine.com/sections/Bob%20Skinner/skinnersrules.html and am beginning to put the background family plot lines into place. For some realistic, gripping, page-turning and thoroughly entertaining police detective fiction, I commend to you: http://www.quintinjardine.com/sections/Bob%20Skinner/Bob%20Skinner.html

Sure it wasn't Cowden down on a pre-season friendly trip!

What's the betting that if, (sorry), when it all goes tits-up, Morton will blame the "dodgy" floodlights they bought off St.Mirren when Love Street closed as a contributing factor!

And the Honours Degree from the School of the Bleedin' Obvious goes to.....

I'll leave this one to speak for itself... Paulo Nutjob - The ring - Just in case anyone in the PA1 locale is offered any dodgy jewellry in the next few days.....

I didn't say what the dribble tasted of, did I?

Absolutely knackered after the weekend and needed today off to recuperate. Must remember I am 50 not 25. Still shattered and woke up in my arm chair with dribble down my chin. I fear a nursing home may not be far off.....

I concur, but they are also more dense than any other bird I know. The one on Arbroath Station trying to peck to death its reflection in the Waiting Room mirrored window for example!

Then move out of Arbroath......jeez! (I have never fucked a seagull but I have suspicion that if I tried the seagull would win... ) I am not very good at mathematics but I have discovered an unarguable theorem: - Time expands exponentially in direct proportion to the proximity of a long weekend off work.

Next door neighbour has got a Vevuzela.....

Oooofft! Ma feet are lowpin'.

Emirates has just landed. The first of 9 flights to arrive in the next 20 minutes, with a total of 1,800 passengers. Nurse, the screens please.....

The South East of England in "extreme weather" crisis - what a shower of attention-seeking fannies! I didn't notice the STV camera's rushing into the back garden when I was getting sunburnt in Kings Park that week off I had in June!

The summer charter flight season is well and truly underway. We are getting slaughtered between 1 and 2pm with around 6 flights and 1,500 - 2,000 pax all arriving within 15 minutes. It's moider, I tells ya!

I'll stoop to your level; unfortunately not. Rather like the German National Football Team, I failed to score as well! And, by her own admission, she really is a mardy mare first thing in the morning...

Clothing - don't forget clothing. According to Clyde 1 Weather, there will be rain and sun over the weekend, so you are advised to take warm clothes, jumpers, long trousers, thick socks, and shorts, t-shirts, sun-cream and a hat and wellingtons. Good luck with that!

It wouldn't surprise me......

And now she's posting on here.....

I did last night's dishes this morning and fed the guinea-pig and rats, only to get a row for not lying in bed for another 30 minutes instead.....

No, that was the two "stewards" at East Stirlingshire who invited us into the car park for a fight and assaulted several of our support without cause. Fatty in the brown coat and ringleader fatty in the black leather coat, who had also been dipping into the gate monies at East Stirlinghsire and Ochilview. As the defence solicitor said, when they failed to appear for the prosecution twice, it was surprising as they were frequent attendees at the Court and knew their way there perfectly well!

On the contrary. We looked very smart when successfully defending the Falkirk Two at the Sheriff Court... ...who were exonerated from the heinous crime of causing a grazed heid by means of a lobbed toilet roll.
