Our Christmas day out comes but once
a year and so it came to pass that this year a bifurcation was announced and ,
by decree, Alan, Allan, Davie C, Dougie, Ian, Johnny, Malcolm, Rex and Robert
made their way to Oran Mor for the annual play, pint and panto (Cinderella 2: I
Married A Numpty, Dave Anderson was back but nae George Drennan), whilst the
remainder headed for Davie’s house in Darvel for a valley walk.
The panto was up to its usual
standard and was thoroughly enjoyed before the group headed back to Kilmarnock,
to Wetherspoon’s and then to the Jewel in the Crown to meet up with the walkers
whose five-mile walk had somehow become a ten-miler. Alan McQ joined us there
having sought early release from the chalk face (or whatever!). We were well looked after by the
staff, and the food was excellent.
However, all good things come to an end, and
by about six fifteen it was time to wander back to Wetherspoon’s and to Alan McQ’s
quiz. Well done to Alan for gaining a semblance of order whilst the questions
were being asked – imagine trying to teach a class full of Ooters, it would
drive you into early retirement!
A great day out!
A Merry Christmas and a Happy,
Healthy New Year to our reader!!
Notes
Paul couldn’t join us as he had the
dreaded lurgy. We did think about you Paul, but not for long.
At the table, there was a lot of
noise, as per usual, leading to Malcolm and Jim gloating in the fact that they
thought they heard that Jesus was born a Ranger. It can be exclusively revealed,
guys, that he was in fact born in a manger. If you insert the ‘a’ into ‘manger’
you get manager, but the guys don’t know what a manager is!
Meanwhile, at the other end of the
table, our Hearts went out to Robert (aye, right!) who said he had some
fourboding about the result.
