Ah'm sure Ah telt this story afore on here, but jist in case Ah hinna .... When Ah hear/read the word 'Greenock' ... my most vivid memory o' my thankfully short time in that shiτhole still gies ma that 'somebody's jist walked ower ma grave' shudder.

Ah wis there tae play a weddin' ceilidh. We were at a loose end atween settin up/soundcheckin and the scheduled start o' the gig ... and so decided tae go get a few tinnies ... rether than hing aboot at the venue and pey bar prices.

We found an offy in a horribly run doon shoppin mall kinda place, and while Ah wis waitin ootside for oor main man tae come oot wi the booze, Ah caught sight o' a lassie and her man comin taewards us pushin a pram. She wis a 'stocky' kinda lassie, wi a low cut top on .... noo, dinna get ma wrang ( or dae ... see if Ah care ) ... but what caught ma eye was this tattoo on her left pap.

Ah wis curious tae ken fit it wis ... and whether it might be indicative o' the local culture ... wis it Hunnish? Timmish? Commemorative o' somethin locally relevant? A band? Fae which year/era? A diddy team? A flooer? A fairy? What??

As she got closer, reality dawned darkly! ... Ah've nae a clue what the tattoo wis, cos, obviously, it had been 'crafted' at a point in her development when her upper thoracic frontal swellings were comparable in terms of size to a pair of tangerines .... which had now evolved into twin watermelons! ... and that 'ex-tattoo' was now an indistinct splurge of pale blue/green 'soiledness' visibly punctuated by stretchmarks and veins .... gads min! ... pity the poor bairn that had tae scoof oot o' yon!
