well i will get him a footy top later and he already has loads of footy tops!! I would not know which one to buy him anyway if I could not get an Al Ain top. He supports both Celtic and Man u and of course Scotland!!!!

aberdeensiregirl

confused?????? since you dont like smileys!

Spugsy

well as a footy fan I was always happy with loads of random tops when I was younger when people went on holiday, I still get various ones, I have england, australia, newcastle, barcelona and a few french ones.

Sorry, it was a reference to Celtic..don't worry about it!!

aberdeensiregirl

Yes he has a lot of other national ones as well and has some signed ones from ebay but dont ask what they are! He has always had a great interest in football from an early age.

aberdeensiregirl

I did wonder about that but I am afraid I am not very knowledgable about football. He has followed both celtic and man u since he was very young.

After buying a dr pepper t shirt instead i found an al ain strip in the gift market beside Lulu supermarket. I know probably not genuine but looked ok for him. Thanks to all who tried to help. Going home Thursday and back in a week . You want some butteries and deans shortbread TKFKASE?

I can confirm the usage of the word 'squeak' to describe the local paper..

Of course, far ah'm fae its the Inverurie Squeak, or just the Squeak for short...

Always remember the Evening sellers calling out the paper during the Turra Show...

Get yer pictures o't grrrrrreat show....

Oh, and BTW, foo's the coo gettin' on????

aberdeensiregirl

actually all one paper( well one owner) - inverurie , turriff and ellon cos my son sometimes has to work at the other offices. New statue gonna go up of turra coo this year I think. Lots of controversy over the design!!

TGFKASE

Defo on the rowies, I like mine on the soft side, no tae weelfired, if ye kenfitamine.... Oh, and Ross the Bakers fae Inverurie, if ye hiv the choice, cannae min' if he his a placie in Turra or mebbe's closest will be Meldrum...

On this subject, the reason I ask for Ross' rowies is coz he's ma uncle. He is looking into the idea of putting together 'care packages' for expats and we are gonna be the guines pigs.. Anyone fae north of Hadrians with any ideas of what could be added that we just cannae get ower here, drop me a line...

Ill be heading back to Gods country in about a month or so, and had planned on stocking up then. Unfortunately, Ill be heading straight to Hassi Messauod for 2 weeks after my visit home, so had decided not to stock up...

TGFKASE

OOoohhh!!! Will hae tae track doon the design online and see fit a' the palaver's aboot...
