Some occasion would happen and my auld man would say to the auld dear I'll have to have a drink to wet the bairn's head for example the auld dears comeback would be christ you dinnea need an excuse to have a drink

My father was a member of the Ex-Servicemens Club. He would mark the date of the AGM on the calendar at home. However he would be well warned about his drinking as soon as he had marked the date.

 

He decided not to mark the calendar. On the evening of the AGM would go and get ready then announce he was away to the AGM. Smart thinking. Would say "Meant to mark it on the calendar".

Okay the school holidays started today. When I was at school it always annoyed me, when a neighbour would keep asking ""When are you back at school?" and always got "We never got the holidays you do".

 

 

AND as for the "Back to School" notices which appeared in shops..........Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
