great pic, i have one of them that davie's mother gave me years ago, i'll need to dig it out and post it on the site, davie and kenny look so young, DJKJ before he twisted his melon, nice to see a pic of flo, there's some featuring her with her beehive again via davie's mother annie who was my next door neighbour for many years.

if i've heard kenny's story about the trip to london once i've heard it more than once, now he's content to spend his saturday mornings trying to remember the names of every hamlet in kintyre, after seven years you'd think he'd have them memorised or written them down.
