Appreciate your people's

So much crazy shit going on nowadays. I'm guilty of sometimes overlooking gods gift of life. For the folks yall care about be sure to let them know. Don't be a shit bag and don't take the little stuff for granted. A homeboy just the other day told me " you only get one spin around life" seeing folks getting murked on the news everyday seems like. So let your people know you appreciate the time with them.

 

It's true! I lost my closest friend to a stroke nearly 10 years ago, he was the kindest, most intelligent and funny man I ever met , we were teenagers together, raised our families together and now he's gone, never thought I could miss anyone so much..

There's an old Scottish saying "TAK TENT O TIME ERE TIME BE TINT", it means, 'make the most of your time on earth while it lasts'.

 

Old Guy, been in Aberdeen a couple times in the last month and I swear they still speaking Abadonian or Gaelic or the language you Quixote above. Man some of those folks were hard to understand. Had better comprehension of Spanish in Bilbao…. Lol

 

Too sad man.. What a waste!

 

That's shitty. Damn. In today's world life is cheap unfortunately. Can loose it over the dumbest shit. I haven't had anyone die tragically that I was close to for some years now but then again, I'm not really close these days with anyone so that could be why.

 

I believe the Aberdonian dialect comes from an old Nordic language called 'Doric' and there's still traces of it in north east of Scotland today.. Even lowland Scots can hardly understand it, and the English got no chance.. I was on a train from Inverness one time and the ticket conductor was a huge man with a whisky drinkers face, a young student girl wanted to pass him in isle so he stepped to one side and said "gang bye quine", it means 'you can go bye mam', but even I was was shocked, it's literally another language.. Read somewhere there were still Gaelic Scots in 1920 who couldn't speak English.

 

I worked up in Aberdeen for a while , doing up the student accommodation …. Must have been for the rich parents kids the price they were charging ! We went out on a night out and went in a casino the Place had what i think were russian bouncers on making sure peace was upheld lol Nice place though and i Had the best fish and chips i’ve ever had

 

Aberdeen an old city famed for fishing industry before hitting jackpot as centre of 80's oil industry, still big money up there..

During early 90's I walked GR CH Bill and Black Max 2xw around a big graveyard in north Glasgow, sometimes after a workout we'd rest in a nice spot next to the grave of Will Fyfe who wrote the famous song ' I belong to Glasgow'..

Next to (or close to) Will Fyfe's grave there was an 19th century memorial head stone with epitaph inscribed on bottom that read 'AS YOU ARE I WAS - AS I AM YOU WILL BE'.. I never sat near Will Fyfe's grave again after reading that, still puts hairs up on back of my neck.. Kind of symbolic of BB's original post, well in my mind anyway.

 

The granite city …. Thats right as i burnt more drill bits out than ever

 

Cool history! Beautiful country that..

 

I had the haggis, quite decent actually.

 

Me old ma was from dundee … she moved down to england and lived there longer than she did in her birthplace but people still couldn't understand her that accent really sticks !

 

Mine from Dundee also, she's buried in Eastern Cemetery now.. Her accent got stronger with every glass of rum. haha!
