Fuckin hell man your old man was a fuckin card My old man didn’t go to the extent of phoning old flames up but he didnt have to really…he let it slip once that the old lady across the road who was then a Kirk Elder had been rifled not only by him but my uncle Bob too he chatted to her most mornings

There’s a chance but it’s unlikely. G grandfather was an itinerant gamekeeper and sprogged half a dozen all over the Borders but none in Kelso…if you can see this it’s his family in the 1911 census.On the second page you can see the birthplaces, the bottom 3 ie Maxton and Makerston could’ve conceivably been actually registered in Kelso especially Makerston… I got the census pic from https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-our-records Youve got to buy credits but it’s not that expensive definitely cheaper than a month on Ancestry so if you’ve got details for the Kelso gadge I’d give it a go. I was astounded to find this census form. gutted I couldn’t show it to dad or his siblings . I also got my G Grandmothers death certificate on there, written only a few months after the census. The Laird unceremoniously kicked the family off the estate (Makerston) as he wouldn’t have 6 youths and a piss head father on the estate without their mother 😕 Edit: actually both G Grandparents were from Ednam (so was Captain Cook’s father, who Mrs PL is descended from ) which is only about a mile from Kelso…

Twa Ts is English likesay 😆

Has she done her tree?..

One T or two?

Go on then, this is going to be interesting NB: it’s not Withe, Monkeys Fist is just upholding a fine TT tradition in never forgetting absolutely fuckin anything, ever

There’s a lot of it about

In my defence I got home at 4 at which point the first can was opened, purely for medicinal purposes as I’ve come down with a severe case of CUP FEVER this weekend And you’re right, the player am thinking of sounds like Covid’s little brother

Fuckin don’t start mr just got out of fuckin bed!! 😆 give me a minute, I know the player I mean…

Surprised Spurs will apparently do business with us. As a loan he’s fine but he was replaced by Ndoggie who on current evidence is miles better. He was though dumped into the “not good enough” pile by Spurs fans last season but half of them have looked different players under Ange. So there’s little risk and a lot to be gained if Eddie can up his game by the normal 25-50%

The rest goes on extra security to keep Fist away from his missus when he turns up with the Sainsburys order

Do you think he’d take it before he’d go to Madrid? Ancelotti won’t go on forever. Am absolutely fuckin certain that the scousers would want him but in the end I seem to remember he couldn’t wait to leave..

Naglesmann is national coach for this summers Euros only, free agent after that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Crikey that’s a stroke of luck for your old man A mates dad was in Suez, drove and fixed trucks I think. Korea was another cunt of a posting. One of my dad’s mates went and never came back, he was the opposite to your dad, got backlisted and ended up there. Dad was involved in getting his name on to the war memorial in his village https://www.thesouthernreporter.co.uk/news/williams-sacrifice-is-recognised-in-special-eckford-ceremony-761256 My grandads cousin is on the same memorial but he lies in a commonwealth graveyard somewhere near Vimy Ridge..they added him at some point but there was no room on the front so he was covered in shite round the back and they only rediscovered it when the cleaned it up for the rededication

Would we sign a player who’s still at AFCON?…

Just remembered that I also witnessed this live

My old man on the right and his mate Tam on the left. Must be at the depot in Berwick because they spent two years in the Malayan jungle in rather less clothing…
