The High Wall: December 2009
http://highwall.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Friday, 25 December 2009. The Ghost of Christmas Past. Merry Christmas High Wallers,. By aboot 4pm the auld boy would be snoring in his chair. yer Ma would be fussing aboot, doing dishes and offering you mair food. We of course had ate oor body weights in Selection Boxes, knelt on Charlie George (permanenlty reducing Arsenal to 10 men) and lost the rat from the Forgotten Prisoner of Castel Mare. Nae Two Ronnies but at least we've got The Royle Family.

Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Sunday, 31 October 2010. Halloween and visits to Strachans the joke shop. It's that time of the year again!

Yeah, I told you there was a link coming up! Us High Wall lads often bought oorselves a smoking monkey. They were braw! Hae a guid yin! Oor Grandadused...

Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Sunday, 15 July 2012. Don't know if Facebook has officially killed the blog yet, but we High Wall lads certainly havnae been so active o' late. Time to change aw that. I gave the eggs a right guid blast o' powder and the ants immediately reacted by takin' the eggs tae "safety" doon intae the bowels o' the nest. A fatal mistake. Half an hour later and there is nae ant activity. Job done. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sorted, sort ay. Blogs worth a deek.

The High Wall: April 2010
http://highwall.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Monday, 12 April 2010. One of the best things to happen to the High Wall was the 1970 Commonwealth Games and the decision to build the swimming pool just up the road fae us. Once aw they Fancy Dan Australian swimmers used it for a week or so then pissed aff, the facility was left tae the bairns of the South Side, Craigmillar, Niddrie and anywhere else on the Route number 14 bus. I passed the Commie the other day and saw it's getting a full refit....

Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Wednesday, 28 July 2010. Aint that a kick in the head. One of the hazards o' being a 70's High Wall bairns was the the amount o' gangs runnin' aboot the toon. Now I know there was a wee "casual" scene back in the 90's but that was a bit mair sophisticated and confined tae the fitba and clubs. In oor day a guid kickin' was literally just roond the corner. Purely territorial. Friday, 23 July 2010. A shaggy dog story. In Curlies gaerdin thir wiz once a ...

Nostalgia and nonsense from Auld Reekie to Perthshire. Monday, 30 November 2009. We used tae love gaun doon tae Porty. A day at the shws wiz like the High Wall highlight o the year. Wi about 10 pence in yir grubby mit thit wiz more than likely earned by collecting auld juice bottles, ye were through the door and intae Nobles arcade wonderland wi its smell o Westler hamburgers and sweeties. Now came the hardest part! What tae spend the pennys oan? Labels: High Wall trips. Saturday, 28 November 2009. Up Ca...
