BAWZ Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I would dispute Number 2. I did a quick calculation, counting back on the Gregorian Calendar, and that would indeed put the demise of the Dinosaur on a Tuesday. And that is where the error has occurred. As any schoolboy would know, the Gregorian Calendar only came into being in the late 16th century. If we revisit that caluculation, using the Julian Calendar pre 1582, then the demise of the last of the big chaps can be seen to have occurred on a Friday, probably late in the pm (after the pubs came out). This has been yet another public information announcement. Edited August 28, 2013 by BAWZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However , the other thing that is often not realised is that there is even more of Stonehenge below ground than is seen on the surface. . The word "henge" is from the ancient word for , subway station. Stonehenge was originally a subway station back in the days when the subway system was extensive and there was even a station in Paisley , just outside the Tartan bar in the West End. .

BAWZ Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ayr have tried to steal William Wallace! They might have a valid claim there. William Wallace played a couple of seasons for Craigmark Burntonians, the team that gave us Bobby Pinkerton, before he quit football to pursue his dream of kicking Edward I and his armies out of Scotland. Chic Young saw him play and told me that, in his opinion, Wallace could have been a Saints Legend if he had preceded Pinkerton in moving to Paisley.

Yes I know this....was born at 5 Park avenue Elderslie with my bedroom window looking on to the monument....spent many a childhood day playing in the house which is now a few bricks.....climbed the mighty tree which is now cut down to size and protected.

I was never in it and I know it wasn't Bill's tho' , it was on the same site. I remember hearing that Reo Stakis wanted to turn the house into a restaurant , at which point the council promptly demolished it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
