The Kintyre Forum

Hello to Drumlemble and The Toon from the frozen north of the US! You would think after leaving Scotland that I would have chosen somewhere warm but the average temp here in the afternoon is -5C!!!

Just checking in for the first time and thought I would say Hi to all that know me.

Going to throw another log on the fire!



Stephen Cahill

You certainly went far enough from home young sir, but if you pop in here to see what's happening, you are going to feel right at home.
Welcome to the Forum.

Hi Stephen,
Welcome to our wee Forum.
Sound like it is very ''Frosty '' where you are.
Actually it has been about 0C in Derbyshire for the last 3 days.
I hope you enjoy your visits here.
All the best
Frosty

I didn't expect anyone to take notice of my posting!
Woke up this morning to take my son to the school bus with the temp at -16C. Best advice I gave him......don't lick the swing-sets.
Still long for a decent beer in The Commercial......but the Malts over here are cheaper by the bottle than back home......figures, eh?

Hi Stephen good to see another Drumlemble man on the forum.

Hope you have had a look at the photos on memory lane (football and school)

John

I am assuming that it's you Tin Man from up the hill?

I was having a look at some of the photos again last night as my Auld Yin sent them over some weeks back and made me aware of this great Forum. I was also thinking what a man you must have been to handle a bunch of rowdy kids from the village and turning them into footballers.......you guys in The Toon may well laugh but when us country boys managed to muster a team together 10 minutes before the match and stopped shouting at each other......and you John (sorry)...I think we did a good job! We didn't always lose 18-1 to Calton Thistle. Funny, we always managed to get that solitary goal back, didn't we? Hats off to you John for your patience

Unfortunately, over here in the States I can't get to watch "Soccer" unless it is the Mexican League or Premiership which costs a bundle so I have to listen online to the likes of Livingston, Hibs, Hearts etc.....did I say Livingston....sorry my mistake!

Anyway John thanks for the Hello I appreciate it. You still involved in the Footie? Is Andrew still living/working in Kirkie?

Welcum Stephen, tell me this, whin did ye ever get tae pley fur the lemmel, ye wur aye used as a goalpost whin a wuz thur wae ye.

Welcome on board Stephen!

Some of us yearn for a Commercial pint these days and we live in the toon!

Yes there are a couple of good photos of you in DML and I have a few more to add once I get the scanner sorted out! You got any you could send me?

Now, with a surgence of members from Drumlemble and Machrihanish we might have a thread to rival the infamous Carradale one!

All the best

Sorry can't help with the photos. I've lived in so many places and photos don't ship too well. Any photos from back in time would be stored in the vaults at my Auld Yin's (Jenny C c/o Woolies).

You have to admit though....never a better goalpost there was....

But it is the finest of keech.
