Judging by that middle parting Dirk, could he have been one of the original omen heids. Fish say's hi
No, your Majesty,although a lifelong friend, there is no relation.
Try again

Is that a Corpie Bus Pass,,,,,,,,I remember one in the name of Jimmy Page.
Ja das ist richtig. Einen Corpie pass. Alles Schotten dicht, an bord den sinken Schiff. Alles fur Schottland.Das ist so..Ja Konigin?
Herr Forbes
Königen?,,,,,,ich weiß nicht,aber ich freue mich zum Swan Vestas Tag,dann können wir "Many Happy Reburns" sagen.
zum wohl !!!!
Not one of you have got it right yet.
Must do better.
This great lifelong friend of mine, was in the Minds before I was. He was also in the band before the Minds.
He is also an ex Fourskin.
Hans Kurzen du bist die Konigin nicht. Es 'Queen of the Mounting'ist! Tchoos
LAST GIRL STANDING WINS TONIGHTS STAR PRIZE Two tickets for the guest list of any show(paying) by AFGM/4GM
The Answer is indeed DUNCAN BARNWELL. ex Big Dick and the Fourskins, Johnny and the Self-Abusers and Simple Minds
Derek
One nil today Dirk, but revenge will be mine. The mighty Pars will prevail, ok ok I'm talking pish here. See you at Kirk's do this evening
ps I think we should change the name of the band again
'The Omen Heids' does have a certain ring about it.
see you in the bar
Vanessa
Don't forget the mini kilts. Bruce dictated this to me, but I didn't read it....honest
Derek
Kirk was sensational, Ivy Tilsley's not my bag though. Great band, all me mates. Good to see Danny Farrant back on the drums after his health scare last year. James 'Basher' Stephenson was in great form as was Craig on the bass.Happy Birthday Danny and Vince.
I declare Sunday nite as blog nite, come on Dirk, get your blogs out for the lassies

Let's cheer Duncan up.

Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome
Fremte, Etranger, Stranger.
Spearbabe, I bet you know what kind of olives I like?
Dirk
I,ve posted the same thing twice, and can't get in to fix it...ho hum
Ok stay mysterious then!!
Derek
It's obviously a case of mistaken identity. No pun intended ! What pun? Ed.
Who comes knocking at my door?
Dirk
Duncan, (Barney) are you checking this out. Loadsa Lemons on it now.
Derek,(Forby)
Tete de L'omen. La verre avec Madame les Guillotine dans les 'napper', (Tete).

Where's the Queen, when all this nonsense is going on? Order Order.
Mein Gott in Himmel.

Derek
Did you see that? We have two Original Simple Minds on line at the same time. Duncan, wee Bet has been in the Viccy for a week, but she's alright, and will get out tomorrow.
Speak to you soon
Derek
Duncan,
I'll pass on your regards, don't worry. Code name Corson will appreciate Corrs joke, if you get my drift.
Derek (Secret Squirrel).
Duncan,
I'm off to my Bob Fripp, so, I'll contact you tomorrow on this contraption.
G'day mate
"what's that Skip? Duncan's pissed?".......Manana Derek
Welcome one and all to the Quiz of the week. Fantastic stuff. Where are you your Majesty? Off to Burger King for a Chicken Royale one suspects!!!
Der alte Rabe Derek
Good night John Boy
But most of all, stay classy San Diego....
Ron Burgundy
Hi Duncan,
I doubt if Louise will remember.It was 1968 when I last saw her and I never knew any of your other sisters.Looking forward to the fotos.All the best.
PS are you near Billy Joyce or Tommy Russell?
Zwei Wochen weiter.Das Zippo und die Swan Vestas sind fertig und stillgestanden.
Hallo again Duncan,can't wait for the suprise.I visited Derek 2 weeks ago and heard the news.
Are you still playing?My 10 year old boy Eric has got a band together,but so far they have not managed to all be in the same room at the same time.It's only been 4 months since they formed,but I guess there is no point in Russian if you want to get things perfect.
Nastrovyia!!
für Derek auf Deutsch,,,,,,Prost!!
Hallo Lastgirlstanding,
der König can learn almost anything that makes a sound.Years ago I had to learn a speech in Gaelic.It took me weeks and I sounded rubbish.Derek done it in 1 night just by being in the same room.He didn't even try to do it,it just went into his ears and stayed there.
viele Grüße.
Yes, your insanity, you have been conspicuous by your absynth.You have a severe case of Deutsche humour. Take two sips of Schinkenhager and you'll be fine.
unbeschreibliche wohne
Or something like that
Der Konig
Is it possible Your Majesty?
Enlighten me in the machinations, and I will give it a try. Meine gute!!!
Alles Cooper
Dirk
Konig uber den see!!!
What do you mean ...it was a Teutonic question? They don't like it up 'em Mr. Mainwaring !!!!
Pike...Stupid Boy
Looks like Duncan is the biggest scorer.
And so they all went to their little beds under the mountain, and pulled roughly on their *$%*'s
carefully peeling back their *%%^$*'s and holding &(*^% to a large one &%$£(* moistly....!!!!
Dirk of the lost plot.
Danke Lastgirlstanding,
es geht mir sehr gut,,,und Ihnen?
Duncan wird sehr stolz sein.Woher stimmen Sie?
Hans.
Noggin the Nogg?
TINTIN?
Ihr Deutsch ist prima,but I'm sure Derek will reply in Scottish if prompted.
Hallo Balmighty ,,,,,halb und half.
Grüße,,,,,,,,,,Hans.
Well it certainly wasn't me yer Maj. Off to the studio. See Yaa, or is it Ja?
Der Konig
Yes Louise, I do remember the Advocaat.The studio was great today all new bass and guitar parts.
Yes. Duncan was a great footballer. He was signed to Partick Thistle before joining Johnny and the self abusers and Simple Minds.
Alles claar
Dirk
That's a mighty fine Omen Heid scenario you've got going on there..Your Regina
Rex
Duncan
this is probably last post on this thread.I gave up gigging in 1984 to become a pilot and then chucked the Luftwaffe in Nov. 2004.Just starting to get back into guitar again,but I don't know any of the stuff my 10 year old (Eric)listens to.He does like Zepp though.We are working on the TWINS version of "Down Under" tonight which I think is great,and it's easy to play.His band don't have a bass player and they have asked me to join.I think I am a bit too old.
My 8 year old daughter Ingrid has asked to borrow my Led Zeppelin CDs because they sound like Franz Ferdinand.Nice to hear from you Barney,,,,,,,all the best,,,Hans.
Duncan,,,,,,,,,TOP SCORER !!!
Big Cheer for Dunc the Punk....
Dirk
He's off to Windsor on holiday with the family Duncan. I'll be sure and let him know your e-mail. If you had been here I would have had you play guitar on the tracks, for the old Original Minds vibe. I'll work out a way of doing it for next time.
Derek
Dring dring.....dring dring.......dring dring.......Hello!

Hi Spearbabe,
I'm hoping Derek will add a few lines in the style of Sgt. Peppers about our escapades in Chateau-lait.If not,we will have to wait for the book!!!
Dein Hans.

Some Scottish Blend and a big piece on jam would do the trick.
Derek,can you reverse the order to show the most recent at the top please?
Spearbabe,,,,,,,I had,,,,
French onion soup
Roast beef with creamed potatos and spring onions mixed together
steaped peas
red wine and mushroom sauce
onion rings
All made by my ain tottie scones.
Tottie scones = haunz = hands
Hans.
Nope ,,,,,tottie scones (potato pancakes things eaten with a cooked breakfast) is Glasgow rhyming slang for haunz,,,hands.
The cooked breakfast can be enhanced with a pun o skwer slice,broon sauce and Irn Bru.
but lemons take the biscuit for breakfast.
You can have all these delights when you get to Callender Park
I'll have to go,,,,,the Provie mans at the door
He's come to collect it !!
How the firk do you reverse it perchance?
Ich bin dum...ja? Und deine Kopfschmerzen meine Konigin? was gibts? Besser..oder? Schrecklich !!!

Hi Duncan,

I seen Jean Genie's Omen Heids T shirt , Your Majesticness. Fantastic, I didn't see Shirl after the show, which was disappointing. She always makes an effort to attend every gig, ( I don't think she's ever missed one ), Anyway all, and Duncan, I will shortly be whacking on a new Photogram/graph, so thanks for dropping by, and Stay Classy 4GM
