Is this a humiliation for Glasgow? ?

P.s. he chuckled when I told him I’d started this conversation and with a twinkle in his eyes said something in Gaelic and grinned.

Hi everyone, I’m back from lunch! I was chatting with my stepfather (Scottish, West Highlands) who is in his 90th year. Time for me to settle down & read all your posts. Can’t believe this thread has generated such interest!

I didn't know that about Frankie Vaughan. Good for him. Not a Toom Tammas, was he!

I was thinking about the rats, are we sure they are not just timourous beasties?

Keep up, Granniesunite!!! ?
Do you want to come to the Burrell too?

Dunno about tim and teem for empty, but I've encountered toom a few times.
Toom Tabard (derisively meaning empty coat, or no coat-of-arms or history of achievements) was the nickname of John Balliol), King of Scots from 1292 to 1296. Little is known of his early life, but he was chosen as the new puppet king of Scotland from among several claimants, by a group of selected noblemen headed by King Edward I of England.

I remember a Toom Tammas, too, but not anything about him.

Frankie Vaughan Easterhouse?..

I’m a bit slow………

I didn't want to volunteer you Kalu, in case you felt put on the spot!

I am looking forward to visiting the Burrell again Marydoll equidistant I think for you and I to visit. Please count me in for the coffee meet up with Blossoming too.

I will also ensure this debris filled filthy city is spik and span for your visit Blossoming?

I thought Tims might be something like Tim Tams.

Shame, never mind.

Blossoming hope you get to the Burrell and enjoy your visit.

That would be lovely Marydoll!

My auntie loved Frankie for what he did Marydoll.

But awa ye go, its yoking time where I come from

And also where I come from teem = empty.

Anyway, back to the Queen's English and defending Scotland's honour from all comers

Blossoming, they are trying to make it much more accessible for everyone. I will keep you up to date. I'm hoping to blag a visit to the opening. It's not far from me.
We could have a GN meetup for coffee!

Tim means empty is Scotland lets just hope the bins are tim in time . I don't think it's that tim.

Thanks Marydoll I’ll make sure to check it’s fully open. I think I will need a few days to see it all, as my mobility is not so good.

I’m not sure the Tims will like being described as ‘empty’ FloraDora ..

Alegrias, I had forgotten about Frankie.

We had better be careful, this thread is in danger of becoming quite cliquey and that is not in the spirit! Of GN. ?

I'm awaiting Urms return, with anticipation. She is out for lunch, I hope she returns in a mellow frame of mind.

Am awa ben the hoose, I huv a delivery tae unpack an youse yins are keeping me back!

*Tim obviously should be tin

Tim means empty is Scotland lets just hope the bins are tim in time .

Blossoming, the Burrell Museum is being refurbished and is behind schedule, due to Covid.
My future DIL ( the one who got my craft stash) is heavily involved in this. It sounds as if it will be worth visiting!

Ladies, shall we talk about Frankie Vaughan?

(Another coded Weegie Message, like the Tims )

I am hoping to visit Glasgow next year. I really want to see The Burrell Collection before I run out of time. It’s many years since I was there (apart from passing through on my way north) and I’m sure there will be many changes.

My DH was born and brought up in Glasgow. Up till a few years ago he was frequently through there on business. However, he had to go through to Glasgow last week and was genuinely shocked at the state of it. He said the streets were dirty and rubbish strewn and was very disappointed at his 'dear green place' in such a terrible condition. What's gone wrong? There are petitions to sack their council leader I see. A bad time for such dirty linen in public. A bad time for poor Glasgow.

It’ll be in amoung that stash of craft stuff you have hidden away…

I do a lot of reading

Oh, you are so wrong! I hate the stuff andwould never have it in my sanctuary! I keep it for when my children visit.
