Various Bits `n Pieces for 2010
We start off 2010 with a little look at some of the things that happened since we last had a " Bankie Bugle ".
Mad Mick`s Tours share value has dropped, because our esteemed leader has had to be taxied around by Danny, and apparently took a lift from a strange man on a scooter..... by all accounts the retired section dinner proved beyond all reasonable doubt that Mr Adams is a VERY strange man !!!!!!

As we can see here Mick was hindered terribly by his crutch being up around his chin when he was doing his colouring in. ( Thanks again to President Jim for keeping Mick`s razor sharp mind at the height of it`s artistic energy by providing the crayons and colouring in book . ) Mick was so frustrated by not being able to use both hands when talking , he was starting to look like Uncle Fester with a beard !

But fear not................... Super Aitchy steps in to save the day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He approached the pavement at the speed of Light and saved the day..... He ended up plastered in hospital for 7 days trying to chat up a nurse !!!!! ( called Eric the Plater)
He was released from hospital on one condition, that he had a crutch to support him through the dark days ahead. Now Aitchy being renowned for his deft mental agility said " Whit??? "
Must have been the anaesthetic working on his bedsores giving him brain damage.
And at that moment a vision came to him from Old Kilpatrick ..
The vision was like three wise men from the East... Robert Hume, Robert McGregor and Willie Kelly `cos Duntocher is East of OK
... "I will spare Mick from his turmoil with the crutch.... I will take it from him and let him be free.. "
( What a wonderful gesture from someone in so much pain, or it could have been the hospital drugs. Almost sounds like a Billy Graham sermon )
At this time we are still awaiting our hospital correspondent to send in his report, and as such we don`t have any photo`s of Aitchy using Mick`s crutch for comfort !!!!!!!!!!!!! But those of you with a particularly vivid imagination can get a mental picture, and it is not a pretty sight.
Here is a photo of Mick with his Blow up crutch ( That just doesn`t read well, it just sounds wrong )

But we do have the latest drawing from Mick the Artist now that he has thrown away the crutch that was hampering his artistic talents ... click on the text below
And we think we have bad winters
