What,s that clown Montgomery like,waster. Slan for now, Apalachie.PS. Interested to know who the two outsiders are, I can,t recollect them, but then again you are older than me haha.
If I remember right think Big Sid had a saying Bouncey, bouncey of the wallsie son One day getting the Lead loaded strap of Monty, and not for the 1st time got many of him. Big Sid had loads of sayins like that. My surname is McKinney and he used to address me as follows: 'McKinney-o, McKinney-o, who lost the ball-ee-o' I heard his dad was a cop and thats how he got his knickname (Big Sid the Copper's Kid') Does anyone know if thats true? I was at his da's funeral and don't remember any trappings that would have suggested this.
[/quoteWell Stickyra, that,s the first time I ever heard that, when I was at the school he lived in Brookvale and was a regular in the CB club, in fact he ran the drama section,he currently lives just above me at the top of the Cavehill Rd but stranger things have happened though I doubt it. Slan, Apalachie.

Monty had to jump 2 feet in the air to get up to the normal height of a fifteen year old school boy, I worked in the CB club for a while and big Sid (Pat Catney was always a real gent to serve and not to shy with the tips either.
