Hello Colin, just taking a chance here! Would you please be so kind as to keep an eye out for Colin Patterson who left O'mund in 1975, and after moving around a bit I believe he settled in Scotland! I'm sure there are plenty of Patterson's in Scotland, but this one supports Heart of Midlothian! If that's not pathetic enough, his brother John supports Queen of the South. They were always troubled children.........
Still, I would love to make contact with him again.
Regards, Ricky Barron.

My dad sends his regards.. starting telling stories about you, about a joke about Jocks and any ship in any harbour in the world......

davismj · September 19, 2008, 08:31:10 AM

That brings back memories, your dad reckoned that you could shout down the hold of any ship in any harbour in the world and a jock accent would answer you! I always said that the voice would say:" How do mend this bloody engine"!
Give Jock my regardsand ask him if he still remembers the words to "Bonny Dundee" and Whisky in the Jar"

Colin Benton · September 19, 2008, 09:46:16 AM

Yes Martin but can you still remember who sang " theirs no lights on the christmas tree mama cause their burning big Loius tonight" I had you and McKay stumped for years with that one!
