More Roamerisms from the early 1990s
The Pulp Mill Club’s first quiz night was more social and sociable than serious and sedate, and raised a few chuckles as a result. Jimmy Lamond, for example, insisted that the only soul band worth hearing belonged to the Salvation Army. And ‘The Hit of the Seventies’ was…himself! Then there was the team called The Alphabets – Men and Women of Letters. All post persons, in fact. Not forgetting the Glesca Keelies, Ally, Bally and Bee. The Mill had a couple of teams in the fray.
Joe Gillies is now thinking of going into the quiz biz in a big way. So much so that he was spotted at the weekend afixing a unique mailbox to the gates of Island View in bonnie Glefi nnan. The installation is designed to save the post person, weighed down with entry forms for various quizzes and contests, having to open the gates to make each delivery, and then having to shut them again. And Joe’s unique mailbox? It’s an old, enamelled breadbin.
