Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 9-in-a-row CQN Charity Golf Day at Aberdour in Fife, yesterday. The event, auctions and raffles leading up to it raised £6000, the bulk of which will go to the 1254125 appeal, while some will go to Clic Sargent, who help families with children with that dreadful disease.
Lisbon Lion, Willie Wallace, and his wife Olive, were fantastic guests, who enjoyed spending a day with 70 or so friends. It doesn’t matter how far away Lisbon Lions live, you always find them the same way.
My sincere thanks to everyone who came along, bid of the auctions or bought a raffle ticket, all in aid of people you will never know. Thank you from all of us to John, Kevin and John, for their stressful work in pulling the event together, for the ninth year!
125 years ago a handful of people, living in a community devastated by hunger, destitution and TB, but who could make a difference, decided they would make a difference. As a result, Celtic was born. Celtic is not just something to brighten up your weekends, it’s not purely there to build friendships or to create common-interests across the generations, it is a movement you are required participate in.
The clarion call to all Celtic fans this year is to do more than just put your hand in your pocket, the spirit which gave birth to the concept of Celtic will only survive if those who can get involved, inspire a fresh generation by doing so.
Go register for 1254125, and commit to doing something to raise £125. It can be anything. You can walk a 1888 meters, go to the barbers and get a baldy to celebrate the signing of Amido Balde, it doesn’t need to be as ambitious as the 150 brave souls who right this very moment are atop Ben Nevis about to undertake the world’s highest huddle.
If you believe in this club, don’t leave it to someone else to take care of what’s important. The same goes for your season ticket. It has been over a century since we have been as close to the founding spirit of our club, but the sporting dramas which inspire us all are not achieved by new strikers, they are the fruits of tens of thousands fans buying season tickets.
Go stake your claim on Celtic.

I know the cqn’rs are world wide…and I know there are more than a few in or around Toronto…just reading of the Aberdour nine and a row golf had made me jealous. Do any of you pay golf and interested in a wee wasted walk. Nothing fancy or expensive…I’d be interested in meeting up. Email…jellynicecream@hotmail.ca
Got…Git…Get….
Leeds looking to sign Stokes. Story has originated in Sunderland which is strange.

Don’t worry, my friend about time. I hope I will write before you do.
Keep fingers crossed tomorrow.
got the best ever fathers day present today…….a card from my future grandchild…. I was nearly bubbling :-)
Caught my wife putting tattie scones in the toaster once – that turned out to be a lively morning.
Jamiebhoy:
Glad to see you taking oldtim’s advice, not a Bhoy to be messed with…:)
The Dunblane three looked resplendent in the white T-Shirts and green trousers.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Zbyszek
I sure will. But of course these circumstances dominate our lives.
Thank you.
Feyenoord 1970 – the reason we lost that game was we didn’t play George Connelly, who had started both semi-finals against Leeds.
Cheese on toast needs Worcestershire Sauce.

Sorry m8
I know it’s a crap rule but I have watched it happen again and again
What gives women – and some men – the idea that handbags/man bags don’t count as a piece of hand luggage???
ONE PIECE OF HAND LUGGAGE APPLIES TO EVERYBODY – NOT JUST OTHER PEOPLE
Gherrybhoy @ 8.32
I read your post. Anyway, the SNP has form on this – Salmond cosied up to Cardinal this and Bishop that but when the chips were down the Zombies becam the ‘fabric of our society’.
Look too, at the shameful SNP Disorder at Football Grounds statute. They couldn’t face down their own bigot element so they tortured the legislation to make sure Celtic supporters would be arrested.
If it’s Yes the population will be softened up with anti-sectarian cant and one Kirsty Wark story after another. Mind you, there’s plenty out there don’t need any softening up when it comes to getting rid of Catholic schools. Remember you heard it here first – RC schools will vanish within five years of a YES vote.

For women a handbag is an appendage not a piece of luggage
Canamalar – you can get toaster bags for such tasty treats – so I’m told!
Never liked baked beans until one day when I was really really hungry and I had beans and toast put down in front of me with a big steaming hot cup of tea. I learned that day the meaning of the phrase ‘Hunger’s good sauce’
Beans beans, they’re good for yer heart
Must admit, British airways luggage policy can be very annoying, they are very relaxed, so if you no on the flight jig time you end up having to put your luggage down the other end of the plane because all the selfish smartars s have taken up all the room with their 8 bags they did not want to check in.

Aye but for toasted cheese do you grill both sides of the bread?
Jimbo
Jimbo, in a word, Yes! Toat the bread then put the cheese on it and toast the cheese. Simples!
It’s no beans and toast it’s beans on toast ffs here we go again :oD)))
I usually just leave the mess for the wummin to clean up

On the airline issue for anyone flying sleazy jet they are reducing cabin bag size as well, best check that before attempting to board or its another £40 to get it put in the hold.
—————
Not quite.
There is another set of dimensions that will be guaranteed to be in the cabin.
The current dimensions remain but may be put in the hold if there is insufficient storage in the cabin. This is the current practice.
Thursday night in the Greenock Celtic, was talking to BRTH, told a story about a dodgy situation in Basra that was resolved by the famous Glasgow Celtic being mentioned, a pleasure to be in the mhans company, and hopefully he will appear at the sportsman’s dinner in August.

I thought Sensatori resort in Sharm el Sheik could not got any better….
They have now reached “new heights” as described by miss vic 67.
John (really ghood acoustic player) decided to churn out wild rover whilst getting the lobby bars emerald to join in…
The obese, creepy hun that has been lurking around the pool with a painted on zombie top for the last few days was present in the room and far from impressed!
Bye bye bye ya hun
Gene I thought that was called a bawbag
Addendum …….. ” insufficient storage in the cabin, at no cost to the passenger.”
It’s a roll on sausage. Sausage roll is a pastry u get from FPLG’s favourite shop . Mind u , u can get a roll on sausage there as well.
Confusing or what.
Great value from Greggs is a double decker roll, square/link/bacon , perm any 2 from 3 and a coffee for £2.
Nae wonder Ally is a regular .
Mind u come to think of it so am I.
Think I had one if they £2 deals every day last week on way into work.
Is it any wonder I’m putting in the beef!
My God , that’s shocking. Need to limit myself to 3 this week.
I need to have a serious word wi Masel !
Just saw the Pirlo goal, first thought, match fixing due to the way the keeper pulled his arms away.
As for the cheese thang, its only roasted if its been cooked in the oven

Sipsini, pool champion I’m not, I put it down to the alcohol consumption. I’m also putting the blame on alcohol for my shot at the 16th, which shall we say, wisnae the best….
Lennybhoy, we’re working on next years outfit already, a tricolour anyone?
Should that be burgherbhoy
Transfer windows…
I probably said that before, Artur Boruc could move to Bayern Munich in 2008 if he told them, Yes.
When the season finished, two Legia Warsaw players ended their careers. I read interviews with both of them few days back.
Legendary Black Gold, or Black Tower from Zimbawe, centre back Dixon Choto got contract offer from Celtic few years back. Transfer fee between Legia Warsaw and Celtic was agreed. Few days before sides were to put signatures under the contracts, Choto got injured and Celtic resigned.
Michal Zewlakow, centre back who played for Anderlecht, got contract offer from Celtic in 2010. Zewlakow who since now is Legia Warsaw Sport Director told , that his wife did not want them to move. She said that :”Artur Boruc , your best friend is still there. One club, one place won’t stand two crazy Poles.”
Jaroslaw Fojut, Legia Warsaw fab, guy from here, still can’t forget he missed chance to be Celtic player. He said that few days back in his interview for the Polish media. He plays in Norway now.
I suppose you can grill both sides of thebread if you are that way inclined, but can you roast both sides of the bread?
‘DO you want roasted cheese son?’
‘Do you want toasted cheese son?’
I knew what was meant when both questions were asked.
Just as I knew if I was getting a roll on ham it was gonna be bacon and not what the rest of the world calls ham.
Coloquialisms. Quality.
I still occasionally talk about having a ‘piece on cheese’. It’s never made grammatical sense but we all know what it is. Just as we know if we ask the shop assistant for a poke we’re getting a wee bag, an ice cream or a slap in the face if she is from other airts and pairts.
Even different families or branches of the same family might call their food stuffs different things.
Go to any city or town away from your own and getting the proper meat on the right type of bread based delivery system can be a near impossible task (‘Can I get a roll on sausage please?’ ‘A what? Oh a sausage bap? What did you call it? Why do you want to roll on a sausage? Oo er missus!!’). To this day I don’t know how to get a single nougat from an ice cream van in Ireland – and I have to admit I don’t ask out of embarrassment. When I’m in Scotland I always go mad and get a double nougat to make up for lost time.

Language – crazy thing.
GordonJ, great photos.
I’ve just realised I call it toast and cheese not toasted cheese…
Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo – Don’t let my Eritrean fiancée know about the Somalian! ;)
I’d like any photos anybody may have of a small black girl on Ben Nevis yesterday. She left me at the foot of the mountain carrying all her stuff, including waterproofs and food, while rushed to the summit where she had to wait for me for two hours. I think she thought it was a race.

In fact, cheese on toast!
Does anybody know of a Greggs open at this time ?
I’ve got a problem?
