Bhoys Visit Supermarket

They tell me the present is only history repeating itself over and over again.

Celtic travel to Edinburgh (or Leith if you like) on Sunday having raided the capital for personnel on several occasions over the last twelve months. Whilst the Tynecastle soap opera more or less set Pressley and Hartley up as shopfront dummies (well, they've played like two since moving to G40) Hibs fans will feel they have been transported back to the late 19th Century when Celtic (in)famously asset stripped their club. In their manager, John Collins, they will be reminded of similar plunder. Inevitably the Hibees use such acts of pillage as evidence and a basis for their perennial and bitter recriminations. We could be in for a hot reception in what I believe will be a low-key match from a Celtic perspective. Is there any other ?

I wish Chelsea well at New Wembley tomorrow.

Do you deliver to Aberdeen? If so, would this be by courier, 1st Class or 2nd Class post, or Parcel Post? Can the food be reheated if required? What additional charges would be levied for delivery, or is that already included in the inflated costs you have stated? If so, what discount do I get for picking up myself? Do you take telephone orders? What waiting time is expected before a customer can pick up his order? (it takes around 2 hr 45 mins from Aberdeen to Wishaw) Do you supply cutlery when such equipment is required in order to consume said comestibles? If so, is it cheap and nasty plastic, or ENPS, or solid silver?

Think that is enough questions for the moment, don't you? Bolloz, that was an extra.

I look forward to receiving a prompt reply from your good self.

Thanks and Regards,

Probably when I am picking up my breakfast feast from that bastion of culinary excellence that is Chez soal!

Seriously, it won't be for some time as I am tied up with work and the hooligans for the next couple of months worth of weekends. I would imagine that Curly Junior Junior will want to see some of the pre-season games, so that will probably be the next run south.

Hi WG, I see you rattling on about the band Spirit, was that the band of Randy California?

Saw Randy in Northampton, must have been '79, when i was 18, maaan I remembering thinking this must be how people felt when they saw Hendrix, really mindblowing.

Nice to see you list 13th Floor Elevators, not heard them foe a long time, another band that the Great John Peel gave my ears, must download some again.

Peace.
