NJ2 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Johnny Cash's claim that he'd been everywhere, yet could only only seem to run through a long list of cities across North America*. Bloody American. *He included Argentina tbf, although I'm not particularly convinced that he actually did and may have made this up for nothing more than rhyming purposes. Had he done so then you would think that he might have popped into one of the adjacent countries, particularly if you're going to be recording and distributing fairly bold statements such as "I've been everywhere". Uruguay is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Buenos Aires after all. I also find it suspicious that neither New York or Los Angeles make his list, these being the two largest cities at opposite ends of his own country that you think would deserve a mention. Personally I think the c**t's was at it. Not once did I see him around Aberdeen, never mind Brechin. I can mind seeing him in the goth in rosyth once or twice so I think he’s telling the truth. Or he was played on the jukebox. Could be either tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just wandering around pleased to talk to anyone who came from the village. A mate of mine at that time stayed in Cash Feus in the village and JC was anxious to know if there were still people in the village with the name Cash. He was an okay guy to talk to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what it as? A lot of wanky shite with no relevance whatsoever. (stattos incoming)What's even worse is that there's more than one way to calculate "XG" depending on which stat firm do it.

Some folk said Shorty was just a nickname because his surname was Cash. I prefer to believe he was Johnnie's brother. He certainly drank like him in his early days. Shorty was actually among the saner clientele. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd been to Folsom Prison and San Quentin so he did get an idea of what visiting Aberdeen and Brechin is like. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The gig ticket shop in Glasgow used to have big posters all over its window, letting you know what was on for the next 6 months or so. Now they've gone all modern and have a feckin digital screen which shows you what's on next week...... so you wait 10 minutes to see the whole lot. This is not progress. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Had a new cooker delivered today and not only do they not connect it, there isn't even a cable to do that even if you were daft enough to tackle it yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 9 hours ago, GordonD said: A certain Thistle supporter once bought another one a pint but the pub shut before there was time to return the favour. A few days later they met in the street and Stocksie the first guy said, "Remember the pint I bought you on Saturday?" "Well, yes, but I'm not going to the pub just now." "In that case can I have the money instead?" This is Edinburgh, though. Probably standard behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-dee Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I try to avoid rounds without being a c**t about it. Sometimes I might want to switch from pints to a large malt when it's someone else's round and you can't ask for it without being an even bigger c**t.if they are mates they wont mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, I went to see if they were selling Dandy Warhols tickets today and normally I'd have a wee look at the list in the window and see if they they're were selling tickets or not. Went today and the list on the screen was at November. Would've spent my whole lunchbreak waiting for it to get to January. For the record, they were selling tickets and I purchased two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
