Welcome to the site.

The green contraption on the right of the pic with the dog symbol on it, or they can be two legged ones also

Don't think so, it would be a waste of time because the Campbell's (Glen Bar and Restaurant proprietors for those who don't know) retired many moon's ago and nobody could match their recipe .

[Beachcomber]

Can't speak for the Campbell's recipe but the Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae I had there this lunchtime was delicious!

Thoroughly recommended, although I'm not sure you're waistline could take it, JD

[white settler]

nice picture jdcarra is that in kintyre?
i'm still in the dark as to what a keech collector is though?????

i can't find the word keech in my dictionery anywhere, it's very frustrating when people don't speak english.

i will try some of that ice cream in the glen though sounds good

[general jack o'niell]

and you don't think i know that? thats how long its been since i visited, still i could go to the portinastorm for a bag o chips

worth a try, but the only chips you'll get there are the left over's from the roads department .

Gary, we all envy you, or do we?

Since you have taken over as houseman duties, child carer, bottle washer............... (poor Steph slogging it out up the road), have had a new multi million pound kitchen fitted, I notice that there is a table in the Glen with reserved on it daily . Watch out ma boy, it's easy putting the waistline on, but a lot of hard grafting to get it off again.

Talking about waistlines, I hear I was to be nominated for the slimmer of the year .

tell me, is attie still alive and if so hows his hernia holding up? i truss he is in good health?

I, the Starlight boy is still alive, working for Cal Mac. Hernia holding up !!, can't answer you on that one, don't see him very often when he is on leave, bit of a recluse now .

[general jack o'niell]

shame, this sort of banter would be right up his street, him being the most sarcastic person i've ever met, and thats saying something, its the only thing i miss about the auld trade as someone called it, is the hours spent yarning with himself and bob, that and taking the piss oota thon daft fla fae waterfoot, patchy's boy,him thats building a new abode, any truth he's calling it "ayegullable"

[Beachcomber]

Cheers

I'm sure he's grateful for you 'support'

[general jack o'niell]

[morenish]

he's another wan thats gettin younger lookin.it must be somthing in their diet, drinking from bottles of youngers years ago maybe? (sorry!)


an welcome to the white sttler, and as these gentlemen havn't explained "keech collectors" are dog sh*t bins(dog shi** b*ns??) keech being colloquial gádhlic for sharn.


gary had two erected in the village so that the only shi** he steps in now is from steph when he spends time in the glen instead of the kitchen sink.

but this isn't a "quaint" little village as you'll find when you get aquaint wi it!
