Guest Balfy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 HHiBSS, Your are indeed the "memory man" - no doubt you can tell me what the score was, when the goals were scored and the name of the stand side linesman. As for the 2 pints of lager - nah - cannae be true - as I tend to drink 80'/heavy or Guinness when in Paisley - until I get stocious. As for the waitress in the Ayr curry house - well that was an eye opener and another cracking story! That was the 1st game at Ayr in the 99-00 season - yes? Aye the mammories..... Balfy. Quote
Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 The score was 2-0 to Raith, they got the second in injury time and Lys said that she didn't think much of the referee. Dunno who the officials were; I don't buy a program. As for the beer, well it was to fit in with the stroy that I mentioned the amber necter. Just go along with it, eh? You are correct with the Ayr curry house. That game was the first time I met you after that and it was Everton wot collared me in the queue for the pie stall. When she started speaking I admit, I had to keep my hands covering my pockets. You can never be too safe. The score that day was 3-0 to Saints; a Lavety volley and penalty in the first half, then Yards breaking away midway through the second half to make it three. And as for the waitress, yes you could have drowned in her and died a very happy man. Was so taken with her voluptuous bosom that I can't even remember where the flippin' curry shop is. DAMN! Quote
Guest Balfy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 Twas next door to the Ayr Theatre....I'm sure it was a good curry with TREMENDOUS (ala Ally McLeod) service! Quote

Reidy1987 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Remember Stringfellow's at the Caledonia Street end of the ground. Think it was also called the Bobbin. Quote
EL NOMBRE Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Remember Stringfellow's at the Caledonia Street end of the ground. Think it was also called the Bobbin. Oh yes....I used to frequent Stringies in my plooky youth.Always seemed to end in a punch up in there...for one reason or another. Quote
allym1877 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Remember Stringfellow's at the Caledonia Street end of the ground. Think it was also called the Bobbin. A funny, quite possibly apocryphal, story from Euro 96. A couple of Scotland fans found themselves in Peter Stringfellow's niteclub after the England game. At the end of the night the man himself is standing at the door to bid the revellers farewell, so one of the Scotland fans shakes his hand and says he was gutted when they closed their Paisley club. Cue bemused look on The Sleazy One's face. Quote

Reidy1987 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 I remember when the Elbow Room was the Sheep's Heid. I also remember a pub in Springbank Road called The Vaults (way before my drinking days). And the Bowlers being reopened as a trendy pub called Jorries. You may have mentioned this one Tom and I didn't notice - what was the pub that was on Broomlands Street across from the Crown? Broomlands Bar perchance? I think Jackie Copland owned it for a while but it's now a curry house... Quote
