Not sure you needed to say pre catastrophe ?

Why not? If it was before the catastrophe why can't he say so. Doesn't take much for people to get offended on here does it?

It's tedious shit and I hate it.

But we do it every year and short of feigning illness, I can't get out of it.

Does your wife know you've wrote this about your outlaws?

Yeah, she knows how I feel about it and, to be fair, she's no big fan of the whole thing either, as she's never really seen eye to eye with her brother's wife.

As for Wessy's point about it being unnecessary for Okocha to have said "pre-catastrophe" when talking about his trip up the Twin Towers, the way I read it, I don't think he was offended - it was more an observation about it being pretty obvious that it must have been "pre-catastrophe", as they aren't there any more, so it would have been pretty hard to take a trip up them after they'd collapsed.....

I may be wrong though......

Never been a big fan of NYE either, i have many memories of going down Bradshawgate and being made to "donate" to the bouncers in every pub, putting the cost of the night out even more Mad

A few years back we decided on the spur of the moment to drive up to Edinburgh on NYE and see what all this Hogmanay fuss was about up there. I think it was right after a Bolton game finished and we set off through the rain and fog and got to the city centre about fifteen minutes before midnight only to find they'd erected a big fence round the middle where all the action was and if you didn't have a ticket you couldn't get in! Nice fireworks though.

I should really have been forewarned by stuff like that. Back then it wasn't new year proper till you'd seen Andy Stewart without his kecks on.

Stanley Baxter's another one.

And I've just discovered that he's not dead yet.

Amazing!

I reckon him and "the other fella" must have a deal going with Old Nick.......

As a kid I was forced to watch 'The White Heather Club' on a regular basis.
I'm still suffering the trauma.
There'll be no shortbread biscuits in our house this or any other year.
Stanley Baxter worried the 14 year old me. Scary.

He was great in Zulu though.

Breadman, you've changed. Still, at this season probably as well to have one Wise man.

He's the only wise man you'll find on here, Manda.......

There are several generations of kids forced to watch Jules Holland's Hootenanny by their middle class parents and who will undoubtedly remember it with the same fondness we reserve for Andy Stewart.

Cheap pedantry at its most unreasonable and unnecessary, Wessy. Now I know why you are dressed as you are in your avatar..........

More seriously, we've been back to NY; The One World Trade Center (sic) is a magnificent monument full of symbolism, but somehow the little chapel nearby, where many of the dead and dying were lovingly tended, is more poignant.
