22/10/05 Retro Night Out



Just like back in the olden days, I'd arranged to meet some drouthy neebors at the incredibly early kick-off time of 7.30pm.
One of the dangers of going out that this time is the realisation that you are afforded a large window of opportunity for quaffing beer.
And so it proved!
Bert's Bar in William St was the venue. Present were Mark, Lorna and reformed Dundonian ned, Grahame.
Topics covered were ;
An analysis of various conspiracy theories relating to the surprise exit of George Burley the Hearts manager, (could it be dodgy bookmakers blackmailing Burley, as they anxiously pondered having to pay out on Jamie Frain's bet?).
Shock news of Samba Ya Bamba's upcoming appearance on the critically acclaimed "Craig Hill" show this Friday on BBC Scotland.
A discussion of the merits of Jack Vettriano. I argued in favour of the man, even though I don't really like his stuff at all. I suspect this was the Deuchars IPA talking, as I assumed the role of a ventriloquist's dummy for the shaky midnight till 1am slot.
We agreed to do the Elie Chain Walk with Grahame. This involves clambering along rocky cliffs holding on to a chain, occasionally slipping onto the rocks below and getting airlifted to hospital.
It sounds like a good day out indeed.
