You're too americanised for a tartan scarf you should be wearing "plaid" instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Tie Rack in the Bon Accord does a nice selection in lambswool for 9.99. Well at least they did when I worked there a few years back. Chances are the prices have gone up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Was it not Tam Paton - the manager - who had short eyes? (old US prison term for a paedo).Anyway, what is it with 70's chart acts and schoolies?i.e. Glitter, Rollers, Jonathan King, Clive Dunn ("Grandad" my arse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When arrested at his Edinburgh home, Derek Longmuir was found by police to have a large stash of pornographic videos, magazines and 6,000 Internet downloadings. He also had a slim and handsome 15-year-old Portuguese boy staying with him. Subsequently the youth fled back to his home in a poor area near Lisbon, leaving word that he loved Mr Longmuir. Explaining his large collection of illicit gear to police, Longmuir said it had been purchased legally and left behind by an American friend who was on his way back from holiday in Portugal. Longmuir said he only looked at the images when he was experimenting with Internet use as part of his training to become a psychiatric nurse. Until his arrest, Longmuir was working at Edinburgh's famous Sick Children's Hospital in the same neighbourhood as allegedly genocidal Lithuanian landlord Anton Gecas and terminated-but-compensated race-row psychologist Chris Brand. Rumours had circulated widely among Edinburgh sexology workers of the late-1970's that the Rollers solicited under-age youths for orgiastic parties. The Longmuir case comes only weeks after Gary Glitter, another 1970s British pop idol, who had been cleared by a jury of molestations involving a 14-year-old girl, was released from prison after serving two months for possessing hard-core child pornography. The Bay City Rollers, led by singer Les McKeown, touched off a craze for all things tartan and flew to No. 1 in the singles charts in 1975 with ``Bye Bye Baby.'' Rocker and actress Courtney Love recently bought the rights to music writer Caroline Sullivan's memoir ``Bye Bye Baby'' about her tragic teenage affair with the Bay City Rollers. Longmuir's case is the latest setback for supporters of the Rollers. McKeown was charged with reckless driving after hitting and killing a 75-year-old widow. Two members, including Derek's brother, Alan Longmuir, attempted suicide; former manager Tam Patton was jailed for committing indecent acts with underage teen-agers; former member Ian Mitchell starred in a pornographic movie; and Billy Lyall died from an AIDS-related illness in 1989. The creative musician who both entertained and made millions has been remanded for sentencing, which will be undertaken by redhead Sheriff Isabel Poole. Other band members described Longmuir as 'quiet, keeping to himself, a really nice person' but some admitted to the press that they had helped to draw a veil over Derek's penchant for chicken. Longmuir is free on police bail.PS On March 24, Longmuir was let off by an Edinburgh court with a sentence of 300 hours community service. The band's former manager Tam Patton was once jailed for committing indecent acts with underage teenagers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
