Taken from Bebo, this brought a few tears to Kintyre84's eyes. :cry: :cry: :cry:
If this does'nt put shivers down your spine, then nothing will.

you try being his uncle and watching it, i saw it first time at my mothers when dunoon was putting it on youtube, i tried to take his mind off it by being my usual stupid big joke a minute uncle, then i watched yesterday after i'd said my final farewells and found the bag that morven had left for me!!! an enormous jar of coffee and 40 fags, needless to say i've drank the coffee and smoked all the fags already.

my boy has been pretty quiet since yesterday, suppose losing you cousin and best friend is hard at that age, i see it was he that added it to bebo.

damn i've even got the daughters new singstar game playing in the background here that his cousin and his mates have left playing when they went out today Lemar "it's not that easy" especially the chorus, good job i'm not a big softy (ok i am, but don't tell anyone)

Just want to wish Gary and Morven and family all the best and good luck in Australia.

Was on a night out with Morven on Friday night at the Beachcomber, think I may still be suffering today! :roll:

so it's your fault she buggered off and forgot to pick up the money she'd changed from the post office, obviously the bloody ticket she got yesterday morning put it right out her head, but i'll be dealing with that incident in my own sweet time, thats a promise, i hold a grudge longer than an elephant and the rage smoulders stronger with each passing day, but it will be served, the revenge that is, ice cold, just the way i like it and it won't be in some cowardly newsletter either!!!!

i'd never survive the flight, i have to stop and get out at tarbert in a car, will send the kids but its right wrong time for the big fla, what with next year being fourth year and the band and all that. tho we do wish them all the very very very best we privately say they'll be back, it's the only way to get past the kids going, the adults can take care of themselves, nothing will ever be the same, not the beach, and i suppose it'll take me a while before i stop setting a place at the table for at least one of them every night.

thank christ for webcams, i've already got it set up for first thing thursday morning which will be early afternoon there. if you'll excuse me i'm off to wash my face before they all come in and find a wreck

Click on the play button in the middle of the screen Ags - if not, press again.

All the best to Gary, Morven and family. No doubt we will hear from you soon.

Tribute is very fitting and great speech Campbell! 8)

Is the music Alison's Song or Alison's Tune?

Wonderful tune which is very haunting.

Will have to tell Ian McKerral that when we were in Inverness on Saturday night a local band and piper played this tune! Cannae go anywhere without the wee toon about you!

All the best! 8)

Davie - it's Alison's Song - composed by Ian. I put some videos of the band on 'YouTube' and this is the one that I get the most enquiries about and it's easy to see why!

they arrived safe and sound in time to enjoy their first australian sunrise, expect they've had a sleep by now, so hope to talk to them soon.
