RickMcD Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Kept looking at the date earlier and knew it should ring a bell. Then I remembered I'm meeting my son at 6 o'clock tonight for a few jars. If anybody else has anything to celebrate, more power to your elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Have no celebrations planned for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky1 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Celebrating Sma Shot's day today but if this fine weather keeps up I will probably just stay in the house or go the the pub. Whatever I choose I will celebrate my decision and the 4th July will always be remembered by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deferably not a yank. Enjoy the wedding. Ain't been in Ardrossan for years. Are there any good venues for wedding there nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 A lovely Elderslie woman, still sharp as a tack and active, is 100 TODAY. She and her sister were my Mother's cousin and great friends. I'm hoping she has a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Are they not your mothers cousin(s) any more? FFS faraway, maybe someone is not with us any more? Hope you have a good day Bluto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluto Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Sowwy. Naaaah..... You're possibly correct. I was thinking that each of them were cousin to my Maw - and that would have been a perfectly accurate way to describe it... ...then I subverted myself (ooooh Matron!) by using 'friends'. So this is a memorable 4th of July - you got something right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm celebrating Sean Batty and Judith Ralston actually getting today's weather forecast correct. They both said it would be pishing down, and it is. Congratulations to both - first time in 2015 they've managed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Like a mcgills bus, you wait ages for 1 then 2 come along at the same time Indeed. Seriously, this year the forecasts have been pish. Need to up their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 A lovely Elderslie woman, still sharp as a tack and active, is 100 TODAY. She and her sister were my Mother's cousin and great friends. I'm hoping she has a great day. I'll toast her health with my first swally tonight. Never joined in our Thistle supporting friend dave.j's Elderslie thread but I've always liked the place for several reasons. 1. William Wallace. 2. I got very friendly with a Grammarian girl from Elderslie. And you know what they used to say about them. Eddy, if you read this, I know things changed a lot in later years. Allegedly. 3. Davy Orr lived there. 4. I liked playing fitba in the pitch beside the church. 5. There was a gorgeous lass at Camphill with me who was from Elderslie. She was a minister's daughter. 6. Had some good nights at the golf club. That's probably crossed umpteen threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'll toast her health with my first swally tonight. Nice thought. Good man. Me, too. 4. I liked playing fitba in the pitch beside the church. The fenced one? Was that no ashy...? 5. There was a gorgeous lass at Camphill with me who was from Elderslie. She was a minister's daughter. A minister's daughter...? Who? PM me.... That's probably crossed umpteen threads. You'll not be the first Buddie to have done that. In fact, I believe an industry could be created from simply that...

Wilbur Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 The orange muppets will be traipsing through Glasgow city centre today, no doubt creating a din with their flutes and drums. Looking ridiculous and getting very wet, I hope. If so, well worth celebrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
