Hope the bairns had a great time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crying.....it's hayfever! You're crying now; just wait 'til it's their last day at the high school and you realise you're also graduating - from "mum" into "granny" territory. According to a mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dance with pizza at school hall to celebrate finishing P7. No limos to be seen! She has a great night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad she enjoyed it, I've got two granddaughters just about to start school so no doubt I will get to experience their major schooling events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There always seemed to be some kind of retribution on the last day of school at the place I went to. Someone thumped one of the teachers, and another did some kind of damage to one of their cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened a tin of sardines and put it in the air vent (hoping that it would spend the summer holiday stinking the place out). Stole the cue ball from the pool table. Took the fuse out of the hi fi plug. Happy days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Was at a farmer’s market in Cumbernauld last week, down at the Craigmarloch Tesco car park. It’s really good, some cracking local butchers and bakers have stalls. I nipped into the Tesco for a lavvy trip while Mrs P and her sister head into the market area. I find them at a stall where the baker has a tasty looking selection of sausage rolls, pies & bridies etc. Mrs P pipes up ‘I fancy one of these chicken & mushroom pies, anything you fancy?’ I have a look and say I’ll have one of the chicken, haggis, and peppercorn sauce pies. The stall holder says ‘They both look the same, want me to bag them separately so you know which is which when you go to cook them?’ Without thinking, and without hesitation, I reply ‘Ach it’s OK, we don’t mind munching on each other’s pie’…. Couldn’t stop it, no chance. It was out there… to sniggers from everyone in earshot. Instant beamer, whit’ a riddy’… spluttering, vague noises of ‘erm, eh, oh shit’… then I looked, looked everywhere, but just couldn’t find a Kenneth Williams gif anywhere in that car park. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a final assembly, then prize giving then that was it. My lasting memory was seeming some of the 6th year girls (down boy!) clinging to the pillars at the school entrance. The only school based party we had was the usual torture of the Christmas disco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
