Any Personal School-days, Work-days & Beyond Memories of Life In & Around Dundee To Share?

[Gedee]

In starting the Topic on Gerry Follon as a Teacher, I got the impression it was sparking off memories in some others, of their own childhood memories.

This kind of topic has been done before. But each of us have old and new memories of days gone by that usually interest others. If you are willing to share

You dinnae hae to be an Aulder Git like myself (Born 1942) ...

Everyone has old memories, guid & bad, they might enjoy sharing ... And as eh can be a Nosey Auld mannie (when the mood taks me, eh want tae hear them)

Thinking away back on my old school-days at the Joey's (Wilkies Lane , off the Hawkhill) & even at 3yrs old. time at at Polepark Nursery (Bottom o' City Road)

I have clearer and more vivid memories of what might be called my formative years. At this stage o' the topic though, I don't want to make it all about me at all.

But it is so strange to think of all the changes that've taken place. In environment, in life & work opportunities & experiences. And in Grand City of Dundee

I'm quite sure we did ... However that's the one positive characteristic aboot getting auld & dottled

It's either a case o' forgetting whit we already said. Or we run oot o' things to say. So we start all over again.

I'm finding (with my mum) that the weather can be an endless discussion, even when you can't leave the house.

I think chomp .... Your mum & me would get on just grand.

Although we are a bit house-bound, it might just be possible .... (Weather permitting of course) 

Would your mum be embarrassed discussing benefits of thermal underwear vs today's briefs

(Dinnae want nae "dirty talk" fae yir mum mind. Eh've got meh hard-won reputation to live up to)

The no "dirty talk" rule would probably be a deal breaker, she's some girl.

It must be some time since I watched that chomp ... And help meh boab, it's got funnier by the passing of time

And I'd be fibbing if eh didnae admit tae finding the "ongoing dirty-talk" & flashing bloomers an irresistible turn-on

I had a golfing friend on Islay who used to say do not bother looking at the weather forecast just stick your head out of the window in the morning to see what the weather is like. 

Sadly my friend died from Parkinson’s almost five years ago.
