Moan, moan, moan----get it off your chest or have a chat

[Lesley Cox]

Thanks a million Cliff. I was thinking I was the only one who noticed that missing "h." My usual slightly twisted thinking. Maggi, I hope you're not into spoonerisms. Now David, work THAT one out but don't say I didn't warn you.

Profound sympathies by the way, re the wing mirror etc.

Royalists, Republicans, what price an Independant Scotland!
Yesterday the draw for the next round of the CIS Cup (football) took place in the Scottish Parliament - for some reason unknown to all.
This was for the semi-finals, right? Four teams, two matches, right? Can you screw that up? Yes!
The First Minister pulled the numbers out of the bag and the Speaker translated the numbers to football teams but had problems with his reading glasses. Do the words Aberdeen and Hearts look too confusing? Not to me but our Lords & Masters in Holyrood couldn't manage it.
Why am I so sceptical about the future of this poor little country of ours?

David, if they only could enter Rotherham United would be certain of winning the Mickey Mouse Scottish Cup

Here's a moan for you.......

What is WITH Heather Mills?  She wants some privacy, so what does she do.... goes onto any interview show that'll take her, making veiled threats about knowing this and that, and whining about the fact that she has no privacy (while giving an interview... etc).  Obviously she's pushing for more money in the divorce, hence needs to improve her public relations a bit.  Sheeesh!!  And she compares herself to Princess Diana, and Mrs McCann?  Does she have tickets on herself or WHAT???

And that goes for any of these celbrities who make their money out of being famous...... you don't get privacy by whinging and whining in an interview, because that just makes you more notorious, and so they follow you more.

OK, moan over now.  Just irritated at these empty headed morons who can't seem to see that biting the hand that feeds tends to leave you starving to death, although in a lot of cases with celebrities and supermodels that seems to be the idea anyway doesn't it?  But that is a whole "nother" moan!! 

[Anthony Darby]

Not sure about 'Independence', but me, I'm a Democrat.

[Ian Y]

David to be fair to the Speaker of the Scottish Parliament it was the numbers on the balls he misread saw a 3 as a 2 or vice versa. He wisnae wearing his specs.
Still makes you think how they think they can run a country?
I should point out he is a Tory.
 And David N' what do you mean Mickey Mouse Scottish Cup!!!
We take oor fittie very seriously up here

[David Shaw]

David N.,
Rotherham have not won anything since Danny Williams retired and Roy Ironside stopped keeping goal!

David S.... I had no idea you were such a student of ancient history

Was that before or after 'Moon River'?

I think that was Andy Williams? I seem to remember I had to wait until his show was over before I could be taken out of my high chair/

Yes, I know you do, but really Ian I'm pretty sure I could score goals in the Scottish leagues and I'm nearly 65! Judging by the attendances in all but the 'Old Firm' matches we get more watching paint dry in England and I speak from from a football desert close to the end of the known world!

Anthony, you are far too young to remember, see http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1667447,00.html  Ididn't know he was no longer with us>

[Mick McLoughlin]

Dark when I set off for work in a morning. Dark when I return at night. No more midweek gardening for me. I had to sow seeds Paul had sent me by torchlight last night. Least if we hadn't put the clocks back I would have had one hour of daylight at one end or the other (can't work out which!!!).

[David Shaw]

Maggie, I am ancient history personified!

Enjoy the wedding tomorrow.

[Maggi Young]

Thanks, David S... we'll have a good time, I'm sure and I wish the newylweds a wonderful life together but they could have chosen a better date for their wedding than SRGC AGM day!!


David N. your link may be to a  man who sang Moon River, but the rest of us are speaking about ANDY Williams, not Danny.... the american crooner who had a TV show and was instrumental in the early career of the Osmonds!!   http://www.andywilliams.com/

He performed on stage at the Moon River Theatre, Branson Missouri, as recently as the 27th October!!
NO! I take that back, he is performing all the time... two shows today!
