       Hi. jeff
       your either up very early this morning, or very late, depending
       on whether you live on the east coast or the pacific coast.
       Aye my wee tale, i suppose could have had a different
       ending..... but, as it's a family forum I have to be careful. I
       kind'a pick on people who I don't think will be offended with my
       rambling's, and it is just that. it's all meant ta be a bit of
       fun to cheer folk's up.

       Hello benji and Maree, wid you like a wee brandy,I'm having a
       wee dram tonight. god sake, whit a day its been..
       I motored aw da way up tae Eshaness hoping tae get a cup o
       coffee frae da Braewick cafe.. Pat said if da lights were on
       jist chap da door een Christina wid give me one ...
       But she must have seen me coming I saw da lights go oot as I
       drove into da car park .... A doot Pat must have telt her I wis
       a bit o pest, which I am... he.he. Anyway I went for da sole
       purpous o shooting a wee video fur da Northmavine forum wa a few
       pictures to boot....
       So I tottered along da edge o da cliffs watching da fulmars ..
       not so many hoodies aboot. Nay doot they will be adorning they
       big viking types helmets, for Up Helly AA..
       Anyway.. I wis creeping oot the tap o a cliff to get a good
       position to shot da video. I wis only aboot three feet aff da
       edge, when I slipped on a wet rock an nearly went ower da
       side..... man.. it fairly shook me for a .second.....
       Then I went doon tae da hole o scraada an took some pictures o
       it.. da rain came on for a bit, so I decided to head back to da
       car, I wis hoping to climb up da Grind o Navir, een shoot more
       pictures from it. but it will just have to wait for a better
       day... I tried da tearoom on da way home but it was still
       shut.......... hence. I thought I would call into da magnies
       rest, for a wee drink.. and believe me I need one.........whos

       The Clarkston Disaster. Thursday the 21st. October 1971..
       Hello everybody...
       Thought I would drop in and tell you all a wee story which I
       mentioned earlier in the forum .. This one is about the
       Clarkston disaster..
       This happened on Thursday 21st. October 1971
       There were 22 killed and over 100 injured...
       My recollection's are slightly different from the the news
       report which I have put below .... In the report it said 20 were
       killed.. I believe it was 22.. It said it happened about
       mid-afternoon .. We got the call at 12 noon..
       The double-decker bus which was passing the shops at the time of
       the explosion  one female passenger was one of the fatalities.
       The bus was shredded by shrapnel from the explosion .......... I
       was the driver of the Barrhead Fire engine that day ... We got
       the callout at about 12 noon and I drove at speed to the scene..
       About halfway there, I heard a message come over the radio..
       From Mike Tango 5 at clarkston shopping centre .. Series of
       explosions... person's reported... make pump's five ...
       I said to the officer.. it sound's like a bad one ..
       By this time I had been joined by a police car which was
       leading me to clear the traffic ...
       When we arrived I could go no further because of the debris all
       over the road. So I pulled up next to a roundabout .. and we all
       went to the officer in charge ... He told us where he wanted us
       to search for the injured first... and then the dead...
       The blast had blown up through the basement, through the
       floors, and on up through the roof..
       The roof was a car-park for customers, and some of the cars were
       blown off the roof and landed on the main london to glasgow
       railway line ..
       All the shopper's which were in the shops.. all had fell into
       the basements ..
       And that is where we concentrated our search for any survivers..
       We worked for many hours, bringing up the poor souls.. dead and
       alive ..
       Then we were relieved by replacements ...
       When I eventually got home to my wife, she noticed that I was
       very shaken up .. and good on her.. for she run down to the
       local shop and bought me a half bottle of whiskey..
       The next day I went on to nightshift .. and was back at the
       scene ..
       We were only looking for bodys now ...
       The salvation army set up a soup-kitchen for the emergency
       workers .. which was truly welcomed..
       These shops all had a basement, and a sealed sub-basement ..
       Through the sub-basement ran a gas main, which was laid on a bed
       of sand.. Except for one part.. which rested on a rock ..
       Possibly the vibrations from the trains running past the shops..
       that may have been the reason for a leak of gas .. Which
       filtered into all the basements ..
       That is why there was a series of explosions .. seven blasts in
       seven shops ......
       Thats another ghost laid to rest ... Only about another eight or
       nine to go .. then I'll be happy..
       CLARKSTON TOLL EXPLOSION
       Just before 3pm on Thursday October 21, 1971, a massive gas
       explosion ripped through the shopping precinct at Clarkston Toll
       on the south side of Glasgow.
       Twenty died and more than 100 were injured, many of them
       seriously.
       A strong smell of gas had been reported the day before and
       repair work had been carried out.
       On the afternoon of the blast, gas board inspectors and workers
       were checking the repair when the row of shops along the Busby
       Road erupted with the force of a 300lb bomb.
       The car park above the shopping terrace collapsed with more than
       20 vehicles adding to the debris.
       A passing double-decker bus was also caught by the blast.
       Passers-by started to rescue the injured until the emergency
       services arrived.
       More than 100 police officers and 20 fire brigade units and
       every available ambulance in Glasgow were called to the
       scene.Most of the victims were young female shop assistants and
       housewives doing their shopping.

       Bod.
       Sorry to hear you've been sad, not nice I know and sometimes
       it's very difficult to lift yourself up. Your story was very
       moving and obviously something that you will always remember,
       you never forget things, you just learn to live with things Its
       a sad old world we live in and I can never see any reason for
       things like that happening.
       One sad story which will always be in my mind is of boy, a
       friend of my sons, who died in a tragic accident on a school
       trip. The party of 10 had been down a pot hole when it started
       flooding, they got out, did a head count and he wasnt there,
       he'd got stuck and didn't make it out. My sadness was and still
       is for two reasons, what he must have felt like down there and
       for his parents at loosing their 14 year old son. As a parent I
       really felt for them, don't think I could cope if something like
       that happened to mine.
       Anyway, on a lighter note, seeing how George has left his wallet
       behind, thought it was only Yorkshire men who did that, I'll buy
       the drinks and we can get slowly "wasted" and put the world to
       rights!!
       Admin.
       Horrendous, George, but you should be proud of the part you
       played in the aftermath.
       Maree.
       It' s only relatively recently that folk in the armed services
       and the emergency services have begun to receive counselling for
       Post Traumatic Stress. I guess there must be many thousands of
       folk carrying the trauma of scenes witnessed before such
       services were available. Often such things can hit suddenly out
       of the blue many years later, perhaps brought on by another
       unrelated trauma or event.
       Chin up George..........keep takin da photos - much better than
       tablets!
       George.
       Thanks to all of you for your concerns about me .. But I'm
       really fine .. I just had to do something for someone.. and it
       was not a very pleasant task, [ I got an enquiry from the son of
       one of the dead in the Brown & Polson explosion] He asked me to
       describe what it was like to recover his dads body, and not to
       spare the gory details. he was just a baby when it happened..
       and it sort of triggered bad memories from my past life .....but
       I'm ok now...
       Now then .. anyone know where I left my wallet, the moths in it
       must be starving..
       george..
       From Lynne.
       George, I take my hat off to people like you who, during their
       working life, have to face danger every day. I hope that you are
       not so sad just now. I could never have done the job that you
       do. So, you are one of the best along with all the other folk
       who work in our emergency services and our armed forces. That's
       all I'll say. Have a wee drink on me now!
       Bod.
       Come on now BM dont be so tight offering George a WEE dram,
       shouldn't that be a LARGE one.

       I'm escaping on da ferry da morrow night .... I'm off tae
       Paisley Toon ta ma wee lasses hoose fer a month..
       Its a working holiday.. I ran a poll to see whit da punters
       thought o traveling doon on da bus or tae take da car...the car
       won.. Cause ma lassie gave me a list o da jobs she wants done.
       And its as long as a giraffes neck .......
       So I need tae take my rip-snorter... and my electric hand saw.
       three foot crowbar spirit level etc.etc.etc. I think she thinks
       I'm an octopus, plus my new camera in its brand new super dooper
       rucksack, and my holdall... crivins... I think she thinks I'm
       super man ...  O, I forgot my sawn off billard cue just for da
       muggers.....
       So Alky, dont tell the misfits dat frequent da magnies rest
       that I'm off..
       Aye nay doot .. I think she will be putting me under a lot of
       pressure to get her new shed built.. and to demolish her other
       two sheds .. I've no doot the wee grandson will be out helping
       me...
       As for the son in law. don't see how he can help me as he is
       working ten hour shifts....... never mind. my lass can help
       me....
       Hello Lynne. Whit a day I have had.... I dug out da foundations
       for da shed .. then karen said it was in the wrong place..  So I
       dug it oot again .. Noo it just looks like da trenchs at the
       battle o the Somme. MG was probably there ... So he will know
       what I'm talking about. .....
       I got stuck in the mud and my karen had to dig me out o it ...
       She then slipped in the mud and fell full face into it .... I
       had to leave her there about half an hour till I stopped
       laughing.............. then I woke-up..it wis just a wee dream..
       I just popped in for a wee break, it makes you tired watching
       other people working, I mean of course alky, I conned her into
       coming down to paisley with me.
       told her its a wee holiday..
       So I have her oot digging the foundations for da big shed I
       have to put up, and she is up to her neck in the mud, cause its
       been raining for the last couple o days ...
       the kind o weather you wouldna send your dog oot in... talking o
       dogs. she even complained aboot sleeping in the dogs kennel...
       even the dog was complaining aboot her sleeping on the dogs
       blanket
       You just can.t please anyone these days...
       Alkys up to her neck in it again, she seems to like playing in
       the mud ... but I think I better stop her from sleeping in the
       kennel.. the dog seems to have taken a fancy to her now.........
       So from tonight,  she can sleep in the old shed it's all she
       deserves as she isna pulling her weight....
       She has only shifted about two tons o mud from the foundations
       ...... see these younsters, I don't know where they come
       from........ Anyway,  I better go back and see how she is
       getting on..
       Thought I would just drop in for a wee drink, get really dry
       watching folk work..........
       Alkys really doing well, I've got her mixing da concrete for da
       foundations now, but she has a wee bit o bother wheeling it by
       da barrow load, I could have helped her but I had a prior
       engagement [ I was away birdwatching ] and today it was pouring
       cats and dugs but I managed to find her an old torn waterproof
       jacket, it helped a wee bit, I think she has lost a bit o
       weight, dont know if its the hard work or maybe not eating her
       meals, I might have to give her a wee bit extra at her lunch
       break [ she gets a half-hour break ]
       I think da dog feels sorry for her as he keeps giving her his
       leftovers....... I have da feeling that she is pining to get
       back to Shetland, but I telt her I've lost her boat ticket ..
       So she will be here for another couple o weeks ..... only joking
       he.he ........... just as well she is a virtual barmaid and not
       real, or I would be done for cruelty.......
       I think I will go birdie watching da morrow... and gae you an
       update o da shed ..... I want to take a burst o pictures o dat
       kestral .. My nephew thinks he could use it to make me a new
       avatar with it... clever wee lad that he is [ he is 48 ] but
       just a lad in my eyes ... ok. then.. I'm off just noo.. see you
       all later....
       Hello all .. I have to tell you all that alky has done a
       runner, she even took the dog with her, but at least she managed
       to lay the foundations for me......... maybe It's for the best,
       she was always complaining about me going off birdwatching and
       leaving her to do all the heavy work....
       So I think she might be on da ferry tonight, I think it's to be
       a force 11 storm da nite, serves her right, it's all she
       deserves for leaving me in the lurch... Anyway if da rain goes
       off I might get the joists laid and the floor finished, then I
       can start to erect da steelwork o the frame o da shed ...
       There again, I might go birdie-watching ...  but I canna make my
       mind up...... think I will go looking for dat kestral and try to
       get some shots o it wae da camera...
       more to come tomorrow, i've an appointment wae a rough legged
       buzzard on the moors..

       A wee update on the shed..
       Alky missed the northern isles ferry.
       So she is back fur mair punishment..
       Anyway.. I though I would give you all a wee update of the saga
       o the shed and alky...he.he...
       Alky's really doing well with the construction side o things..
       But she has worn out her fourth pair o wellies.. But I think I
       will have to get her a pair of gloves, as her hands are full o
       blisters.. but I did take her to the doctor to get them seen to,
       but the doc. fainted when he saw how ugly she is .... ooops,
       sorry aboot that slip up.... But she looks ok after a good scrub
       up with a brillo-pad....and a thick coat o paint ......
       I'm really getting worried about da dug, it has started to
       seronade her ever night ootside her kennel .. oops shed.. she
       isna very happy with da food that I serve her. I give her good
       wholesome food every day.. Yesterday she had two slices o plain
       bread and water, and today I gave her two slices o wholegrain
       bread and washed down with milk [ it was only off a wee bit ]
       and me, I just had to make do with a medium rare rib-eye steak
       mashed tatties, onion rings, carrots basted in butter, and
       garden peas.
       O well, I better get back to make sure she isnt
       skiving............
       Alkys back in Shetland..
       hello all, just popped in for a wee rest, thank god alky's away
       back tae shetland, it'll save me a fortune in breed, an as far
       as da dug is concerned, it's barking wis doing my heed in..
       he.he.
       Well da steel is all erected now, jist tae pit da profile sheets
       on next ... dont think da neighbour will be very happy wae da
       size o it .. but it's not my problem, it's my wee lassies
       ..he.he ..........
       So alky, you managed tae get back all right, wonder how you
       managed to pay your fare, whit wae nae money an awe dat .. Did
       you stow away on da boat did you.. or did you compromise wan o
       da crew members........
       Anyway its nice to see you back in da magnies rest... my, you
       hiv fair lost a lot o weight alky, your needing a right good
       feed by da look o you, you wid think someone wis starving
       you....
       Next time I come, I will bring you a new pair o wellies, the
       one's you are wearing hiv a big hole in da toes, and I notice
       your hands are healing up good as well, pity aboot dat dent in
       your skull, wis dat where da steel joist fell on your head, I
       warned you to wear a hardhat.......
       Right alky, I'm away back doon sooth to get on with da shed...
       and tell all da punters I wis asking for them.... and watch oot
       for that MG, I think he fancys you, I hear that he has to go to
       da opticians quite urgently.. then he will see you, as we see
       you.. god whit a sight...... Whit dae you mean, get oot, did I
       say something to offend you..

       got any kind o sense o humour.. So I thought it my duty to offer
       you a wee drink, have a wee glass o creme de meths and I will ha
       a wee gless o watter... [ that meth's should make it a bit
       interesting ] aye igor here's to your ald mate stalin....
       Lynne.
       Hello George. Sounds like you had a terrible journey. Hmm - your
       experience of eating at that place sounds similar to mine. Dirty
       knives and forks was my experience and I've never been back
       since.
       Anyway, now you're back, I think you should get this pub back in
       line. The things that have been going on since you've been
       away!!!!  It's been terrible. The Alkies are out of control, Mgs
       not been far behind. Then we've had these very strange folk in
       here too.
       My sister has joined too - Bod. She poked her head round the
       door and I'm sure she'll be in again soon. She tries to talk
       with a Yorkshire accent sometimes, but she is not from Yorkshire
       at all!!! Watch her though, cos she'll probably be after your
       money. Apart from that she's a bit like me!!!!
       Bod.
       Ere George worra pleshure t ear from yer at last, av erd a
       lorrabowt yer, am gerrin t nur me way round this pless.
       Sorry yer trip wer fulla snorrin, my usband snores and I get
       WELL annoyed so I pinch is nose and is lips, e goes a right
       funny colour.
       Get yersen a drink, av put sum money beyind bar, you gerrup cos
       av bin at wuck all day so am WELL tired.
       Me. Wa a sair heed.
       O ma heed, it's fair throbbin wa aw da drum dat MG wis
       bashin.... a did notice last night dat Bod got aff wa dat Igor,
       think they were in da peat shed, just wait till her sister Benji
       finds oot, but she'll no find oot frae me, ma lips are
       sealed.........
       It wis a good idea tae invite da local constabulary, as efter a
       bit o pestering fra mally they eventualy gave in and gave him a
       lift home......... I think dat I maybe hud a wee bit to much o
       da drink, cause I think I wis chatting up alky een her twin
       alkopop.... god I feel really rough.....
       george.

       George,
       I hope you are going to leave a bottle of red wine paid for
       behind the bar (aka 'in the wood').
       I'll remind Alky and her twin aboot ye while yer stoatin aboot
       Paisley.
       And have the polis been advised of your imminent arrival?
       
       hello mg..I could only get an old bottle o VP I found it in da
       attic, I brought it up here 30 years ago, there is only a wee
       drap oot o it.. but it might be ok ta drink, try it oot on fifi
       first, I think she likes a wee drink, if she dusna throw up
       after 15 minutes then it should be ok ta drink............ tell
       da twins to get thereself ower to the plastic surgeon and get aw
       they defects sorted oot before I came back, I'm fair scunnered
       looking at dem....
       see you later I m off to load up the car.....
       Oh dear, the pub is so quiet today. What's missing??? Ah, no
       George that's what's missing. He did say he'd leave money in the
       green pig for us all to have a couple of drinks on him. Hmm -
       50p that won't get us very far. Ah well, put it on his slate
       Alky there's nothing on it at the moment and I could do with a
       wee cider. OK, that's £2.00 he owes you so far. He'll be only
       too willing to pay when he comes back.  A more generous man you
       could never wish to meet.......now who's next for a drink on
       George?

       George?
       Another bottle of your best red wine please Alky. 1928 Chateau
       Ecosse? That'll do nicely. Cheers I'll have it as a carry-oot!
       £40 you say, yes put it on George's slate will you!
       That's £47.00 so far.
       Oops I've just spotted that George is on line. I thought he'd
       gone to Paisley toon building sheds and things!!!!
       I'm going to hide behind the bar before he spots me!
       I'll have another cider and put it on your slate thanks and I'll
       have scampi and chips followed by hot chocolate fudge cake with
       ice cream please Alky. I've no kitchen until Friday, you see.
       Yes, no problem put it on George's slate again - he's not
       noticed yet. No, he's too busy having dreams about building
       sheds or something.............................
       The bill? £20 no probs. That's £67 George owes you. He'll be
       back next month to settle up with you.
       Any one else for a free dram??
       George......I think you'll need to do a few peerie jobs for cash
       while you're away, otherwise these gluttonous alkies will have
       you bankrupt by the time you return..
       Morning all,
       I thought I'd come in da Rest for a full Scottish breakfast wi
       all da trimmings:
       Ayrshire bacon
       Steak Slice
       White & black pudding
       Cloete dumpling
       Sliced haggis
       Eggs
       Griddle cakes
       Tomato
       Mushrooms
       Fried potato
       c/w Morning rolls and coffee.
       Please put it on Georges slate, he left firm instructions that I
       had to keep my strength up for the Alky twins.
       Yes, I'm sure that he can forget his cholesterol until tomorrow!
       Now that's a full Scottish breakfast at - how much Alky?
       £10 - that's OK!
       £77 on George's slate!
       It'll be more than a few jobs he'll need to do to settle this
       bill!!!
       Just dropped in for a quick stiffener. I'm of oot for an Indian
       curry tonight. I will not return later as my garlicky breath
       will probably kill vampires at twenty paces.
       As an afterthought make that malt a large one as it's going on
       Geo's tab.
       Hope you choke on it. efter running up my bar tab, its a
       disgrace taking advantage o an auld codger like me... ???...
       thats nearly a weeks pension up in smoke.. you should all hing
       your heeds in shame..... .......................... Hi. Alky,
       wid you like ta hae a wee holiday in Paisley toon wae me..... it
       will only cost you £77 the same as my bar tab.....
       Hope  you all enjoyed da banter till da next time..
       george [aka] geordie..

       standstill, it took ages to clear out o glasgow.. then Dundee

       at aberdeen the back o 5pm.... I did stop for a meal in da
       little chef in Dundee.

       fancied me, so I went ta hide in da lifeboat, only to discover
       it was full o ruskees, they said dat they were emigrating ta
       Shetland as a mate o theirs telt dem it wis great [ even had a
       free pub up in northmavine ] their mate wis called igor [ does
