Wings Over Scotland

Hi, Marie. Sorry to hear about your wee goat. They’re awful cute at that age.

Haven’t heard Chick’s Beatles number for ages. It was an oddity I liked.

Harvey had snapped put of it. He went sledging in the heavy snow and really enjoyed it. He also liked the Delibes but now wants a dress “like the pink lady”.

Just when things were getting back on an even keel…

Tinto You shouldn’t watch Pravdasound, it’s bad for your health. I reckon Wednesday or not, I’d have opened the bottle.

Funny that Harvey likes the Prodigy. That song put me in mind of quite a few years ago now, my then teenage son (late teens) had a poster of Keith Flint, in all his firestarter garb, up on his bedroom wall. My oldest grandaughter ( she was the wee one I used to play Guns & Roses sweet child of mine to) wouldn’t go into that room cause the poster frightened the life out of her, poor we soul.She was only about three at the time. I don’t know how that wean grew up to be the lovely, sensible lass that she is.

All three of the grandweans are rarin to go when indyref2 comes round. They were too young to vote the last time, but they’re meanin business this time. Good, cause it’s their future.

Hi wingers, i have a task for you, for the last two decades off and on i have looked for a copy of “We’ll be there” the B side of Blue Mink’s Stay with me, i have searched high and low but can’t get it, i could of course bought the 45 but i have no way to play it, so any sugestions?, it means a lot to me….thank you in advance

smithie @ 12:44am if you can get a copy of the song on Vinyl or a copy on tape ? there are companies out there that will transfer the song onto CD for about £15 plus postage. one such company is Squiggle Media Limited. look them up on line for all the details. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies folks, yep looks like i may need to buy record after all and worry about getting it into digital form later.

so here’s a wee song for you all

Could I ask that whoever moved the lava lamp from the ladies’ excuse-me in the PRMG return it immediately?

I have received a strongly-worded letter from a Concerned Patron on this matter and would appreciate a quick resolution.

And oblige,

TC.

Don’t know if you read WOS OT while you are on air.

I’m tuned in right now, you come over really well.

Will say, the equalisation between voice mic and music is off. The music is much louder which means continual volume control adjustment required.

Also when you move the cursor off the speaker icon to adjust, the volume control slidebar more often than not disappears

Maybe just my set up but thought I’d mention it if it helps.

Bloody hell, feels like I’ve spent all day carefully fending off crocodiles, then a big box of packaging boxes (for business) arrives at 19.30 with a wet bottom and some boxes wet. Should have used a nappy. Turns out the delivery van had loads of flowers (Mothers Day) and it wasn’t easy keeping a flaming huge but fairly narrow unstable box out of harm’s way. The things delivery drivers have to do to earn an honest crust. And me come to that, though most of the crocodiles weren’t business ones but about Indy and all that.

I fucking hate crocodiles.

Where is MS. Daines?

This comment is prompted by the fact that I was watching ‘Pointless Celebrities’ and, in the ‘head to head’ questions, Wonder Woman was featured.

(This will probably be of more interest to Smallaxe.)

When I did my first search on YouTube, years ago, for the “John Dummer Band”, this was the only video that turned up. I thought it was ‘quite clever’ – and did feature Wonder Woman, whom I have always admired. (It’s her eyes…)

JEEZ! It was uploaded to YouTube in 2007!

@Ian B: that’s teaser. Je n’ai pas de scoobie, mon vieux. Who’s the wee guy skulking at the back?

Are any Wingers going through on Fri 23/3 to the Hands Around Holyrood Demo?

I suppose most folk will be at work so it leaves just deadbeats and non-productive members of society like me. Might even wear my beret…..

No it’s not Elvis Costello and no he was not a roadie – Tinto I’ll be there on the 23rd.

There are better cures for constipation than lava lamps (and make sure you clean it proprely if you succeed!

Can’t do 23rd as I have to go down to the big cities this weekend to get another car.

Anything good happening in Glasgae (or Edin) on friday night?

Nah, that’s wot that sciency bloke’s cat did or didn’t do in the box.

hackalumpoff: excellent news. I’ll be “under supervision”, hem, hem but hoping for a big turnout.

cearc there’s a Yes gathering in Glasgow Saturday afternoon and evening.

@Tinto, Masterchef tip, take the spaghetti out before you walk about with it.

Already March & my new colander is still in the press!

Ms. Daines,

Thanks for that but I am already doing stuff saturday.

Yep, buds still tight Where I Am, Dave. Snow forecast for the weekend, though my forest flame is showing signs of life.

The elder brother of a notorious Glasgow criminal has been caught with 25 kilo’s of cannabis in his possession but apparently he’s a Buddist monk.
Om mani padme hum!

Just popped in to ask if anybody knows if there’s loos, parking and cafés near Holyrood? Me and him are going on 23rd but not if there’s nane o the above. Couldnae last a’ day without them!

Thanks Brian, I’ve just noticed the post you typed above and coincidently just received a copy of John Dummer’s Famous Music Band “Blue” album on cd from Amazon this morning, so consider this track dedicated to you, my friend.
link to youtube.com
🙂

Thanks for that Smallaxe.

When they played that at the Uni, it was introduced as “Nine Bar Blues”. When the “Famous Music Band” album was released, it had changed to “Nine By Nine”.

BTW: all their albums are available on CD, as far as I know. I bought a reissued vinyl version of their second album and burned it onto CD. Managed to get the rest via eBay and/or Amazon. (All my JDB albums were pinched in the great album heist at the Bowlin’ Alley in the late 70s.)

You’re most welcome Brian,

I intend to buy more of JDs music, I haven’t found a track yet that I don’t like. This one, as you know is from the “Cabal” album.

Thanks Smallaxe. Alastair also has a serious health issue and he is very clued up on this.We’ll see how much he can tell us from 7pm tomorrow.

Problem we face is the careless conflation of the medical uses of cannabis and the multitudinous uses of the hemp plant with the “recreational” use which is a different issue (which we also need to think seriously about).

Talking of biblical songs Brian gives me the perfect excuse to play this song based on the text below!

@BDTT
I suspect they support Independence 🙂

Yes, maybe some tracks put together and people with cars as well playing them loud through the day, get the mood.

For that dance one that Km Music have got some good ones, I was watching a fair few some nights ago, there’s what is love, rhythym is a dancer and so on. Daresay they’d have to be paid for the performing rights for anything formal. Could be done even with mobile phones and bluetooth, or laptops.

I think we’d (or Gerenation YES is it?) need to get some dance classes going early, get loads, thousands, a hundred thousand into it, taking the hands of the old ones (being careful not to break them!) and dancing them into a YES polling station. Who could resist? Might even get a laugh and a YES vote out of that James Kelly and Murdo Fraser 🙂

Dance and smile Scotland to YES. It’s music wot dunnit.

Hi yesindyref2.
This was one of the first “mashups” I found when I first started exploring Youtube. I revisit yearly.

@ Tinto, anent Tulip Trees, there’s about half a dozen planted at Morrison’s in Glasgow’s Gallowgate! also three Giant Redwoods opposite the Ranza Bar in Provanmill.

@ Smallaxe, thanks for young Fran & Anna wagglin their wallies as Jack McLaughlin used to have it! How aboot something classy like Neil Gow’s “Lament for the Death of his Second Wife?”

I love tulip trees for their leaf shape: passing strange.

My Asian newsagent is quite a filosifer. I was buying my Vile Sep News and other requisites this morning and after he’d finished totalling my stuff he said, “Is that you?”

“Yup, that’s me,” says I.

Then he looked lingeringly and significantly at me and said, “Are you sure?”

Things can get pretty deep at my corner shop…..

Thanks for that, Fred. I see it gets good reviews. Have taken a punt on it since I’m really a multi-millionaire.

In return: The Douglas Affair by Alistair Mair (M.D.). Have you ever? Fifty years old but bang up to date. If reprinted it would sell like hot cakes, or even cold cakes. I’ve lent two copies over the years and never got them back. Chilling and believable.

Kinda getting suspicious as to why it languishes in obscurity.

Memo to senior SNP politicians: never drive down The Switchback…

Think Petra’s taking a wee break. Things certainly haven’t improved in the Tumshie Stakes on the M/T since her absence, have they?

Have a good weekend yourself. I’m going out for more snow shoes and Harvey’s knitting a new muffler.

Would be interested in your views on Devine’s tome.

I have my own, of course……..

*enigmatic smile*

Evening, Ian.

May I offer you something really weird?

link to youtube.com

Now I know what my newsagent meant this morning…..

@TC –

Aside from anything else, what incentive does such dross provide for genuine actors to work on their craft?

Ian Dury knocked back £1 million gig to do ‘CATS’ lyrics for Lloyd-Webber because he couldn’t stomach the guy’s music. And that was, what, 30 years ago? (Richard Stilgoe ended up doing it.)

The array of wonderful actors in that clip have banked ??? squidlings, they’re working elsewhere now, it’s all over. But what did they get from it otherwise? And what do they expect/hope the audience will get from their performances?

Ach well, I suppose the most likely defence would be ‘If I hadn’t done it someone else would’ve had to!’

Aye. Indeed. How often have we heard that one in other contexts?

@Shinty (10.42) –

🙂

Hoots aplenty!

Hi Macart.

Ronnie Anderson organises the WOS stall. The May march/rally is a two pronged effort. The march is AUOB and the rally in George Square is Hope over Fear/Solidarity.

I think there is a problem in that Hope Over Fear are looking for cash up front from potential stalls in George Square.

Ronnie will know more.

Liz rannoch – loos in the vicinity, 1/2 hour of birthday left – still sober. off to twitterland.

Ian B: I’m still looking for a talent I can shamelessly prostitute for oodles of shekels.

Thanks for the Frankie Boyle clip, Shinty. After independence he’d be an obvious candidate for Scottish ambassador in NY or London.

Indy2 and Rock are really Fükkin’ up the main pages, iye?

Tinto Chiel at 10.06

An idea worth considering. Would be better if somebody like Eva Bartlett, Vanessa Beeley or John Pilger could be persuaded to give us a piece

It is a far from simple situation. Both Beeley and Bartlett are routinely abused as apologists for the “the butcher” Assad.

Regarless of the behaviour of Assad their is no doubt that the US/UK have been plotting to remove him since about 2009 and the fiction that there is a civil war in Syria is used to obscure the fact that what Syria is fighting against is an invasion of Syria by externally armed and very well funded Islamic fanatics.

@DMH: indeed, I can understand that. The USA and UK will use any weapon to further their planet-ravaging ends. Ironically, they will spend billions short-sightedly supporting Muslim terrorists against peace-loving Muslims if it furthers their aims of weakening the Soviet Union/Russia/any opponent of Saudi Arabia/Israel.

Craig Murray has produced some excellent blogs on the whole Salisbury Incident over the last few days, as you are probably aware.

I can’t believe the Russophobe MSM of the last fortnight: crazy and utterly irresponsible propaganda.

I’m beginning to think they’re bigging up Strong&StableTreeza for an impending GE: the Britnats love a good war footing.

Dr Jim’s right on MT, it is an “attempt to get this site shut down by filling it up with badness”, or at least discredit it completely. A couple have tried picking on regular posters to provoke a reaction, but another couple are trying to stir up threats and abuse in response to theirs. Response is best ignore or treat with humour I think, within limits that’s not against the law!

Thanks for that, Dave. Something else you’ll never see on mainstream broadcasting in the UK.

Yet the only Syrian commenter that Pravdasound4 seems to know of is the wee guy in his English bedroom who calls himself the Observatory.

The sad thing is the American military-industrial complex must have perpetual wars or their profits fall. The “Allied” actions in Libya and Iraq were all about oil, yet they destabilised secular heads of state and fragmented both societies by terrorism or religious extremism.

I see we have an infestation on the M/T. Obvs all that money racking up for the Rev is getting them into an hysterical state. Quite why anyone replies directly to them amazes me. The only thing worth reading at the mo is Nana’s links.

All their nonsense is a big turn-off and needs to be dealt with. Can hardly be bothered myself to read the blt comments myself.

@ Lizg

What Nana said. You are a lovely person and thanks for always taking the time to look out for others (myself included). Keep on keeping on. Big hugs. x

Tinto Chiel at 9.46

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,as you point out, is wee single guy in a semi detached house in Coventry. He hasn’t been in Syria for fifteen years and fled the country fearing arrest for anti Syrian behaviour. He is an Islamic fundamentalist opposed to Assad’s secular regime and has absolutely no reliable information about Syria as all the information he has he gets from friends on the phone. Yet he is regularly featured in our media.

I actually find the huge lie we are being fed about Syria and the Middle East now the most compelling reason now for us to get out of this UK – and I never needed any other compelling reason than the ones I have had since I was a teenager.

If our decent people knew the depths of wicked depravity of the US/UK axis we would very soon be independent.

I wish I knew a way to get the whole truth to them.

What is needed are a couple of Moderators on here, nae mair prob’s. Personally I would like a button to administer electric shox!

Thank you all very much for your kind comments..
I won’t stop posting.

But I will be taking Macarts advice and not be engaging with the fool’s…. Or a least tryin harder not to….I didn’t actually recognise that poster’s name last night,before responding.
…….Note to self ….pay more attention….

Anyhoo, let’s just (as William said) keep on keepin on!
Hopefully last nights carry on will have a bit of a Streisand effect for those who try to disrupt….

How come U don’t get wummin trolls? well, unless the Rocket is a wummin? Possible subject for a PhD, naw! Chin up Liz, where’s that Petra when U need her!

@Tinto Chiel

As you know I felt like that for a bit and came on here to moan about it, Things is I know that that is what they want to get rid of the good guys and gals.

I made my mind up after yesterdays episode with the abuse Liz g got and today I came out fighting, have a read of the posts on the main thread on todays topic.

Rock slinked off with nary a word. They won’t be pushing me off this site, I’m a stuborn auld git and I’ll push back. Bit more subtly than I would have done in the run up to 2014.

Older and wiser when it comes to posting online but the still the same guy but I’ve learned to bite my tongue as I know others are reading and I want their support for Independence.

Best we can do now is totally ignore and only respond nevr by name but just to make them look foolish. Please stay 🙂

PS I don’t think kinters will be back.

As I said, Alex, I may drop in here occasionally to see if the lava lamp reappears and to get the barbie on.

I hardly contribute anything on the M/T onywise and many others say things better and quicker so I’m off to contemplate my omphalos.

I may be some time, hee, hee.

P.S.: Hope to see some Wingers on Friday at Holyrood.

Tinto Chiel and all of the rest of the people who ‘used’ to be frequent visitors to O/T get your arses back here and show the unionist trolls that we can laugh in their faces.
Are we going to let a shower of bastards on the Main Thread who support this Corrupt, Rotten, Paedophile Protecting Government and the BBC stop us from showing them the contempt that they deserve?

We are Scots, we do not retreat. Either ignore the trolls or rip the shit out of them verbally but FFS get O/T moving again, tell a story, play some music or share your thoughts and worries here, amongst friends and fellow Patriots, one of our own my dear friend Liz g was abused by a unionist pig on the main thread just the other night, are we going to let this continue?

I’m not and I don’t think all you people will either, so let’s get things moving again on O/T and let them know that they will never keep us down!
