QUOTE In Kirkintilloch there's nae pubs And I'm sure yer wonder why My brother an me, we went on a spree And drank the pubs all dry, all dry Drank the pubs all dry It's a song by the corries but I can't remember the rest of the lyrics, nor can I find the song on the net.. I just thought it's worth mentioning it. I remembered it while sitting here between 2 corries tour posters... one of them shiny purple with neon yellow and neon orange, the other one brown, orange and white... those were the days of flashy weird colors *laughs*
