Better to call it off. The winds aloine would make it scrappy.

Hopefully it can be played tomorrow to avoid an almighty headache for Glasgow having to fit it in when they already have a game with Treviso to fill in (will probably be moved to a European knock out weekend if Glasgow don't make it that far).

On the plus side, if there is no game this weekend is solves one problem - Glasgow will no longer have to rest players over the next 4 games!

Very disappointed that the game is off. However, the thought of Schiz having to trawl round the hostelries of Glasgow on a Friday night just to check on the well being of visiting fans did make me smile.

P.s. RDW, the Schizoid one uses "hence" quite often. Usually as in, "This is my fifth pint of Deuchars, hence my diction may be slightly impaired."

Nope. Leinster have gone back to Dublin.

I like to imagine that a night with Jimbo and Schiz on the p!ss ends like James Spader and Wiiliam Shatner at the end of every episode of Boston Legal.

Two elegantly crusty, rich, old soaks sitting on a terrace with a single malt wallowing in bon mots and gently satisfied with a job well done. Surely that must be surgically accurate? Just tell me that it is. I want it to be the case very badly.

Bummer about the game. The fixtures are coiling up like rope on the floor for Glasgow. Means more broken and half fit boys likely to be pressed into action. I don't like it, Captain Mainwaring. I don't like it.

Ah George, if only we had been invited to The Wedding Of The Year then you could have joined Schiz and I for a Glasgow version of the Pythons' Three Yorkshiremen on the terrace as the teenagers snogged their way through the last dance (always a moonie).

SCHIZ: Aye ye cannie beat a good peaty, Islay malt.

GC: Aye. Here's tae us. Who's like us? And other shortbread tin mottoes.

Jimbopip: But it wisnae always like this, mind. Ah mind the days a Provvie cheque would barely keep us in Buckie for a week.

SCHIZ: Provvie checque! Provvie cheque! We used to dream about getting them. But you needed a letter box first. You try cutting a letter box into a steel reinforced anti-drug squad front door and then you'll know all about childhood poverty. Fair ruined my nails: next time I'm using a hacksaw.

GC: Door! You had a door? Whit, were you raised in Embra? We just got the social worker and the Tally Man to lie across the threshold then everybody knew where we lived.

Jimbopip: We couldn't let people know where we lived: they would turn us in for the bounty. The number of times my maw would send Weil, my pet rat, down to meet me from nursery with our new address stapled onto his back. They were bad days, but the days she forgot were worse to be honest.

SCHIZ: You were lucky, we weren't allowed to keep rats. Not after "How many vermin can baby Schiz carry in his nappy? " fund raiser went wrong.

GC: Aye , but you try telling these youngsters today about how easy they've got it and they look at you like you want to play Tim Visser at no. 8.

Lights fade to black as the PA plays Deacon Blues' Christmas In Glasgow and a fine aerosol mix of Glenfarclas and Domestos is sprayed.

Well errrm...... yes Jimbo. Exactly what varieties of industrial strength chemicals have you been on (strictly in the pursuit of research) ? And do remember that GC is from Ayrshire - most of which makes Glasgow look like Shangri La !

This is very true, Schiz. The Ayrshire part, not the industrial strength chemicals.
Mrs Pip did her teacher training in a primary school in sunny Govan and on her first day asked the Head who the strange men skulking in the stationary cupboard were. " Oh that's just the Drug Squad. They're keeping that close opposite under surveillance, again." The staffroom also received a Christmas card from the local Social Work department since they were in so often they felt like one big team.

She followed that up with a placement in a primary in Ayr. When I enquired as to how the two compared she replied that Ayr made Govan look like Fettes.

Actually I was going to say Ayr is the best bit of Ayrshire - well parts of it !

I like to think I absorbed all aspects of Ayrshire.

Born in Irvine, a fair percentage of which is an enormous toilet where even the cockroaches wear Kappa tracksuit bottoms and carry flick knives. Raised in Troon, which is posher and fresher than Kate Middleton's ladyparts. Holidayed in Arran which would be one of the world's greatest destinations were it not for the midges the size of Volkswagons and the 357 days a year of horizontal rain. And of course, the occasional trip to Burns' place of birth to enjoy a scone the size of my head and watch the mighty mazongas of Milbrae sweep all before them.

A smorgasbord of experience which deserves a tourist information video narrated by Frankie Boyle and directed by Quentin Tarrentino.

Ok Schiz, who's been on the class A hallucinogenics now?

Sometimes being on here is like listening to a debate between Bill McLaren, Cliff Morgan and Donald Macrae (whose Winter Colours is a masterpiece)

but other times it's like being stuck in a lift with Ken Kesey and Hunter S Thompson and a lot of real bad acid. man.

That must rank alongside foetal alcohol syndrome, passive smoking and congenital syphilis as one of life's unluckier breaks. Unless you like "meeting people of the bus".

True story. I set this to record on Sat so I came in and couldn't see any sign of it so I scroll down through my recorded items and see Leinster v Glasgow.

So anyway I'm watching for about half an hour, wondering why Fitzgerald isn't playing and thinking how surprisingly good the weather looks and feeling something is amiss. ... anyway I was enjoying watching how well Ringrose is playing and its a good game so I carry on ...

Then they flash up the latest scores from the other pro12 games and see Ulster are 5 points up against Cardiff and it clicks I'm watching the wrong bloody game!

Had you been on the same chemicals as noted above Rodders ?
