Fratelli Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hawick Common Riding was on over the weekend which was decent as always, although i'd imagine it'd be weird as f**k if you weren't from the borders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Skinner Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think it was the govan fair a few days ago? I've not been since I was in P7. Utter nedfest, it used to always get cut short due to someone being stabbed or something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthewing Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It was the Leith Gala Day on Saturday, from what I was told about it, it's probably a good thing I decided to watch the Scotland game elsewhere. Next up is the Linlithgow Marches tomorrow, where I'll be catching up with a few mates and trying to avoid all the utter cu[test][/test]nts I can't stand, as well as wondering how anyone can get up to go to the pub at 5 in the morning. That said, I'll probably start at about 10 and make a feeble attempt at pacing myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Woodhorn Mining Festival (or whatever it was really called) on Saturday. Wife wanted to take the kids. Alarming number of hi-vis jobsworths telling us exactly which space to park in, in what could generously be described as an unkept field. Entertainment comprised some morris dancing, a brass band and an utterly bizarre act that I can't even describe (it had a man wearing a kilt, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be traditional Scottish or something, it certainly wasn't). The kids seemed to enjoy it though. They had a display all about mining and my 3 year old son decided to dash off inside the model mine. Cue hilarity as I had no idea if he was even allowed to do that or where the other end of it came out, if indeed it came out anywhere at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm riding for the first time (fnar fnar)so will report back on my experience of the day. No doubt I'll be quite buckled by the end of it, but I'll be heading up to a mate's house for a barbecue, and while I said I'd start drinking at 10, if I'm up there earlier I'll probably have a can at about 9 or so, and my plan for pacing myself will go out the window. It'll probably be early afternoon before I head into town to take in the procession, and I'll probably eventually end up spending a few hours in the Swan, bumping into a load of folk my dad drank with while he was still a regular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pccabe Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gala days are reserved for the sort of shithole towns that have Junior football teams What like Glasgow and Edinburgh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Never beat the Carmunnock Highland Games in the 1980s One mile away from Castlemilk. But back then a million miles regarding general lifestyle choices. The local anarchist group put a leaflet through every door in Castlemilk inviting the locals to a free day out. And bring your own carry out. It wasn't free of course and since there was a paying beer tent no one mentioned carry outs. Usual attendance 2,000. That day 22,000 turned up. Think there was 98 arrests on the day. One of the funniest days of my life watching the local Tory farmers doing a runner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The Castlemilk Family Day. Family, my arse. It's just pissed up schemies cutting about shirtless. Fucking horrendous day. Paid for by the Carmunnock residents group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The Govan Fair parade on a Friday night used to attract 50,000. Was never the same after they dropped the Orange/Green flute band thingy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 When we visited London last year, thewife was frisky and finally said she would let me take her up the arse. They were away though, so she had to settle for Brentford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
