Fair 2008 Memories

Jist in case yees missed it.
Whit a great bit i publicity fur the Fair that wis.

A look back it the Tommy Boatil Memorial Maisters 2009

The Annual Tommy Boatil Memorial Maisters wis played it a virtual Pebble Beach recently in the hert i Embra. Due ti work committments oanly fower BOOBers wur available ti participate namely Nots So, Davie S, Carrier n Superplumb wha coincidentally wis celbratin his 40th birthdiy. Eftir a herty free brunch i roals oan Sossage n Espresso it the famous Lorne's Bistro - if yir visitin try the "Ah've nae chinge" routine it works eviry time - it wis aff ti Fountain Bridge ti try oot the new Gowf in the City idea.

The teams wur Superplumb n Sags, versus the younger pairing i Carrier n Davie wi the gemme a Texas Scramble Fowerbaw fur skins. Here we see Superplumb givin the honour n teein aff it the furst. A nice long one up the valley.

Here we see several of the participants eftir thir first drive obviously enjoyn themselves. The difference between this game i gowf n previous Maisters tournaments  involves several roonds i bevyy between each hole.

Fower n a hauf hoors later n Davie kin hardly see the screen, nivir mind the baw, oan the par 5 14th hole.

Superplumb findin it hard ti focus oan the bag. Bi this time we hud been playn 5 hoors, wur oan the 5th (!) extra hole, gowf baws wur hittn aff windies n tables n the owners hud gied us a final warning fur the third time. We decided ti caw it quits n heid aff fur the train, the result an honourable draw.

The efternin wid end in the usual chaos is the boays made thir wey back ti Haymarkit via several hostelries.
A grand day oot, although ah canny mind much i it due ti a bump ti ma heid.

Cassaloan Memories

In an interestin article oan the miner's strike i 1974 bi ma Great Uncle Walter in a recent Jurnal, the foaty i Cassaloan, shown above, appeared bit wi very little info.
Careful research bit oor team i BOOB historians hus shed sum further licht oan the matter.

The foaty is tain lookn South ower the rows i miners cottages thit formed the backbone i Cassaloan. The tenement buidn oan the right is the famous Piany Bloak whaur half i Bo'ness comes fi. To the lhs, up a bit whaur the auld Eastern Scoattish bus is headn, presumably the Toon Service, is the bloak whaur ma late Auntie Isabella n Uncle Eric bided.

Ma very ain mithir n faithir steyed up the road fi Ishbel's shoap jist oot i foaty awa ti the left, bit the building in the foregroond is the very first Kinneil Miners Welfare Club thit hud a snooker table in it we are reliably informed.

Any aulder readers shed further light oan the foaty or Cassaloan in general?

Fi Hadrian's Way ti Hadrian's Wa'

Jist back fi a wee trip south i the border whaur we stoappt it yon Hadrian's Wa'.

Wee Gill hidn in that foaty above - see if u kin spot her? She loves hidn fi me fur some reason.

This last foaty shows the Latrinae, the average centurion's Mary Whitehouse, modelled oan the famous building on the Palatine Hill in Rome, the Cludgius Maximus. Handy, even ti this day, is the cauld wind wis playn havoc wi ma bladder.

BOOB Bo'ness Hippodrome Memories

In whit sum may see is a gratuitous zeitgeist opporchancity, to celebrate the "grand re-opening" i the Hippodrome (nae expense spared bi Fawkirt Cooncil - a bit i rid carpet flung doon it the entrance - this isny Fawkirt or Grangemooth eftir aw) whit's the best film ye saw thair prior ti it shuttin?

Ah kin mind watchn twa Planet i the Apes films in the yin sittn.

Stalked By The Boundary Two

Last week I met Binz oan ma travels whilst reffin and yesterday I met Yan. Coincidence i think not. Both meetings happined at opposite ends i the country. Sorry the first took place in anither country. Berwick Rangers v East Stirlingshire and Morton v Dundee. Could be a case for Mulder and Scully.
I then met Binz it the fawkirk/raingers game the day. Am chingin the locks i the hoose.
