Sad news. The third ex-Saints player to pass away this year.

What's this pish?

Was The Shish Mahal before that.

A shop which has been around for as long as I can remember, Alastair Steel, the shoe shop under the Methodist Halls, closed its doors for the last time today.

Incredible how much of this has changed. The only reference point is the wee spikes, top-middle-right, of the Episcopal Church.

Bump. 10 year anniversary.

I just don't get the whole craft beer thing. Beer shouldn't taste like grapefruit, the water from a vase of flowers or the syrup from a can of fruit cocktail.

The former Toby Jug/Thai Siam was getting new signage painted when I passed earlier. They hadn't finished so can't tell you what it's being converted to.

Ah, wee Leslie, another of the good guys. One of the teachers who accompanied us on the school trip to the Isle of Man.

Physics. My favourite teacher.

I was in Heron. George Craig (Art teacher) was the House Master.

Nah, Redford was offside when receiving the ball on the left wing.

Aye, it's still the Mirage. I haven't tried a sit-in at the "award winning" Indian in Moss St and in fact the only sit-in I've had in the last couple of years was at The Phat Bhuna and it was perfunctory at best. Indian Scene has always been excellent although the portions are quite small, The Multan was always consistently good as was the Koh-I-Noor although sadly they no longer do a buffet.

58/59 not 59/60. After the cup final that 11 only played together twice more, the 2 legs of the Renfrewshire Cup final in May 59.

Does anyone have the picture of Jim Gallacher saving Gardner Speirs penalty at Love St in 1986? He was winding me up about it last Sunday and I'm sure I saw it on here somewhere.

Add Gallagher to that, a hamstring injury is usually at least 4 weeks.

There were a few Urquhart's around the town. As well as this one in High St there was Well St and Moss St.
