https://paulreekie.wordpress.com/press-reviews
An online tribute to the life and work of Paul Reekie – poet, writer, musician and counter culture legend. From The Herald (15th June 2010):. Paul Reekie, who has been found dead aged 48 in his Edinburgh flat, was regarded by anyone who knew him as a living legend. Where peers such as Irvine Welsh and Alan Warner were courted by major publishers, Reekie published little and remained on the margins, a classic literary outsider. (Read more). From Edinburgh Evening News (13th July 2010):. I asked nervously&...

Menzies Milngavie III: November 2009
http://mmiiiblog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Further jottings after a sundowner or two. Wednesday, 25 November 2009. Here's a question for you:. What is the origin of the term 'dead ringer'? B) A term arising from the times when people were terrified of being buried alive, and so a string was tied round a body's wrist in the coffin before it was lowered into a grave, and the other end attached to a bell in the office of the graveyard curator's office. If the bell later rang, it was a 'dead ringer'. F) All of the above. G) None of the above. How we ...

Menzies Milngavie III: August 2009

Further jottings after a sundowner or two. Monday, 31 August 2009. Duneditin - extracurricular activities. For those of you who don't understand the wonderful game of cricket, here is an excellent explanation. I see that after the recent Ashes win, the England team ran up a £10,000 bar bill. Pretty disgusting, I think. After all, their bill after winning in 2005 the bill was over £30,000. Boonie. The Aussie 'Keg on Legs', could have got through half of the £10,000 himself! Held in Ardvasar, Isle of Skye.

Further jottings after a sundowner or two. Monday, 28 September 2009. He had to keep up appearances, you see. It's the same here in Kalimbuka. Sometimes it's necessary to show the flag, as it were. But anyway, an earlier version of the same Bounty story, this time entitled "Mutiny of the Bounty" featured the owner of patent number 6812392. In the part of Fletcher Christian. I wrote about. The owner of this patent some time ago. It was, of course, Marlon Brando. Wrote a wonderful book. In 1962, his third ...

Menzies Milngavie III: July 2009

Further jottings after a sundowner or two. Thursday, 30 July 2009. We're fortunate beings, so we are! Friday, 24 July 2009. I find it hard to believe that the reason the Aussies are going to lose the Ashes is that their fast bowler's mum thinks his girlfriend is not good enough for him - but that's the truth, according to this article in The Telegraph. I don't know what the world's coming to. The Aussies have even banned sledging. During the series. If Merv (the Swerve) Hughes. Only the top two leaves an...
