On this day in History...

Few years back I'm at a corporate event, company organising it say we've sat you next  to the after dinner speaker as you speak the same language,,, Docherty... During lunch we got on to the subject of Ferguson who was still with United at the time, strange fecker Ferguson  he says, and goes on to tell this story, Fergusons  fell out with his wife and is  living in a hotel, Docherty says I consider him as a friend so I say to him  come and stay at my place until things blow over, it's a big house and there's only me and the wife there, Ferguson accepts the invitation,,, Dochertys wife's well pissed off, couldn't get rid of him, treated the place like a hotel, expected meals to be brought to his room, left the dirty plates outside the room door along with his washing and shoes to be cleaned,,, This went on for weeks, eventually he moves back in with his wife... Then a few years later Dochertys working with a local Manchester radio station, he done a Saturday morning football show, Docherty says he criticised  Fergusons team selection for their previous game which united had lost, Ferguson never spoke to him ever again...

2014 tour de France around Leeds, We still have yellow painted bikes fastened to trees and walls and on a lot of roundabouts, cant believe the scrap man hasnt taken them,

posh name for Romanys

saw a documentary about Piper Alpha. Of any way to die, that was probably the worst I've heard about

One of those things I remember where I was when I heard about it...

JFK
Lennon
Nine Eleven
Seven Seven

In order:-

As a kid getting on a bus after seeing the Gang Show, didn't really understand what it was all about, but it was on a bus at the side of the Kings Theatre Edinburgh...

Driving to the eye hospital Edinburgh after being to a local optician where I worked who told me I had a bit of metal stuck in my eye (I knew that cos that's why I went to the optician in the first place), exact place, M9 motorway just under the Kirkliston flyover...

Arrived at one of our depots, gave all the staff a ticking off for standing around listing to the radio, I'd had a CD on driving there...

Landing mainland Spain for a weekend break and wondering what's all the security about...

Oh and Piper Alpha, driving to work, M9, just opposite Tams place...

That would be "The Binns" then...

1575 Last major battle between England and Scotland...what about Culloden 1746?

Yip, that's the one, Sir Thomas Dalyell of the Binns, 11th Baronet, or robbing loud mouth bas#ard whichever you prefer,,, £18,000 expenses bill for bookshelf for the Binns to hold his parlementary papers,,, purchased two fecken months before he was due to retire...

The voice over for Bill & Ben died Brian Denson could do that, Man was a shambles 

I remember that Lisa Pott's teacher. She physically put herself between the attacker and the children. They are the sort of people who should be running countries, not the old boys network that has dominated for 2 centuries.
