Celebrity

A number of you will know that Jimmy Carr was in Inverness this week telling jokes at Eden Court.  I had the pleasure of meeting him in High Street before his show on Friday night.  Well, when I say meet, I mean I spotted him whilst I was cycling 50 feet away.

What celebrities have you met/spotted in Inverness?

Celebrities…discuss.

Take away

Let’s put a positive spin on this blog today.

A good few years ago I used to nip up town for a box of chips from Annie’s take-away, now known as Market Munchies, and I declared at that time that I had experienced my most exciting chip feeding frenzy ever.  That still remains a fact to this day.

The burning question that we all hunger an answer to is, what is your favoured take-away shop in Inverness past and present?  Why?  How was it for you?

Drunks

A few weekends ago I arose earlier than normal due to my wife’s inability to sleep through illness, so to turn a negative into a positive I chose to head down to the local Co-op to buy some crunchy nut flakes as requested by the diseased.  I strolled leisurely as it wasn’t the best of days but it wasn’t raining either and felt no reason to rush.  

There was a small deposit of vomit at the top of the Market Brae Steps, obviously not from a Sunday churchgoer.  There was a young girl looking a tad bedraggled sooking a McDonalds milkshake, not sure which flavour, but obviously had a good time the night before.  The icing on the cake was a man in his 40s stumbling out of McDonalds with a bag of burgers quietly singing DJ Otzi’s version of Hey Baby! quiet enough that only I could hear it though I know he wasn’t directing it at me, just that he was drunk and happy.  All this at 9.20am…

Inverness is full of honking steaming drunks and this should be celebrated by singing novelty songs…DISCUSS!!

Buses

I never find the need to hop on a local service bus anymore, but for a time there I was needing to use public transport.  There is this Inverness mentality that the old people run Stagecoach and if you are below the age of, say 38 years, you should expect to stand for the duration of the journey and/or be ready to accept dark glares.  Even if you are a younger person and vacate your seat for the old when the need arises you should be ready to accept no thanks or appreciation from said ‘oldster’ and just get on with it, bearing in mind you should still remember your own manners, OR ELSE!!

What do you think about this?  Should old people give up their seats for young people?  Let’s get ridiculous…

Old people think they own Inverness’ buses…Discuss.

Billy Morrison

 

I don’t mean to be rude and I don’t make a habit of asking people for their age, but, how old is Market Bar guitarist Billy Morrison?

Will he live longer than me?  Should we all be drinking the same as him?  What is in his tap water?  Does he drink tap water?  Are YOU Billy Morrison?

Billy Morrison…discuss.

What like?

Here we go then guys, the first post on a blog which looks to begin some big arguments, slagfests and eye-gouging.  Some people might debate that it would be a better idea to start a forum, but I say ‘no’ to this idea, I shake my dirty skinny finger at this thought.  

If you have any ideas for a mass debate then drop a comment into the comment box down under and we’ll get Inverness’ bollocks rattled without hesitation.

See you after.
