He chatted with people for ages outside the putting green on the first practise session.....according to those who waited. My mate and I missed it following Colin Montgomery on his round. Livid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 About 20 years ago, my mate's mum worked as the council's arts officer in Alloa. She organised a few gigs - beer festivals and the like. It was good, as my mate and I got to listen to the bands who sent in their tapes and give our opinions. Anyway, she was organising some sort of charity event. People paid money for tickets, silent auction, dinner and all that. She got us in for free, so long as we wore suits. There was talk of a free bar. So we went, and the MC was Fred Macauley. We sat through his awful stand-up routine (some Rangers/Celtic jokes that landed like a lead balloon in Alloa - might have worked better in Glasgow). And afterwards, we hit the free bar with the VIPs - and ended up talking to Fred himself. Nice guy actually. Kind of spoiled by the fact my mate's mum told him my nickname was Crispy, and he kept asking me why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 A guy in my school was called Shitey Sandwich. Not sure if the story was true or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I knew a boy growing up who was christened Davy Ten Da's because his parents split up and his mum remarried very quickly and he came to school after the summer holidays with a new last name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Saw Paul Foot last night - unsurprising since I was at his show. Also spotted Chris O'Dowd and then Stewart Lee - he's let himself go. It's all happening on the Cowgate.
