??You're down Edinburgh way, Sam, aren't you?
I was working with this Corstorphine boy in Pitlochry a few years back, he kept using the word 'radge'.
We were up this auld fella's manse and he was the traditional colonial type with some serious coin. Nice enough bloke but obviously cut from the empire's cloth.
Wee Davy mentions 'radge' a few times and the old duffer says: "my goodness, was one's family also stationed in India?"
Wee Davy's no the brightest and says: "no, but my old man did a stretch in Saughton"
Still not sure who was the more confused?
......................worked on a fas scheme in carrick on shannon mid 1990's, at the hospital, turnin a famine graveyard into a memorial garden, saddest time ever, watchin grown men cry, myself included,the place had been neglected for decades and as we cleared it, the bones we found,ffs! men ,women, children, ye could only begin tae imagine the horror,grief and rage folks,but they have a beautiful place there now, where they'll never be forgotten and they'll live forever in our memories.

Amen Imatim, Hail Hail never forget!......................
You just brought a tear to my eye.
May God Bless them all and may eternal light shine upon them. Amen
..........................One side of the family's mythos has always spoken in whispers of being chased out of the Emerald Isle for cattle rustling some 3 or 4 generations ago. No more details than that, or locations - the storytellers, my fathers fathers , etc, are dead now.
Something I've yet to investigate, but intriguing.
Maybe finally an answer to why, when I was a kid, my great-grandfather kept a cow locked up in his garden shed, always referring to it with contempt as, 'that English bastard'...

I was thinking how we are all brought up in the Celtic family and understand and respect the ethical roots of our beautiful club.
Some will be Irish Some will be Scots and Some will come from other places.
Nearly all of us have roots in Ireland and mines came over 1860’s i think.
My roots hail from Galway.
Which part of the emerald Isle are you closest too or hail from.
