Save Bo'ness Hillclimb Campaign
Noo thit Museum hus been saved, lit's keep the push oan fur the return i action like this back ti Kinneil Estate!! Sumbdy must hae an auld relation in that foaty tae.
Huvn said that, I took the bairn up the Golfy last year when we hud a fit i snaw. The piste fi the 18th (?) green doon ti the auld coafin tee wis tremndous. Altho' its sum climb back up - the sweat wis runnin doon the crack i ma erse!
When I was at primary school, Tootie went down on a sledge one winter at the back of the bakery, was going too fast and to stop himself he stuck his legs out in front of him as he hit the bakery wall, breaking both of them, or at least doing serious damage. I next saw him at school in crutches.
Ah huv ti err wi Futin oan this yin. A remember when the crossbar i the goal wis hingin half oaf it yin side. Stu Cannon went fleein doon n misdirected his entry under the bar n burst his face right oaf it. Blood ivirywhaur,de you remember that Futin?
This site wis set up by a group i bored thirtysumhings who grew up thegithir in Bo'ness, a quaint former whaling port and mining town oan the banks i the Michty River Forth windin thru the Glens i Scotland. The site is carefully worded in the Bo'ness dialect - please let us ken (know) if u canny understaun it afore breengin in. Be shair ti look it the comments under each poast - they are usually funnier than the stuff we pit up, and feel free ti poast yir ain!! We especially want ti hear fi aw they local petrochemical 'workers' who dae nuhin bit read this site n watch porn oan the nicht shift, in between turning a couple i valves n takin a fly heid doon.

We built better boogies. Docot brae oan a skateboard. Skint elbies and knees enough ti bring a tear ti an open wound.
What about sliding down the Links on yer hunkers - before they closed it to cars. Come to think of it, where was the best slide in Bo'ness?
Back i the Bakery, Gpans wins haunds doon.

Back of the bakery was also a twin-season slide - winter with snow and summer with cardboard boxes.
