You could try spelling it correctly if you want to make a point.

My old man worked there back in the late 50s, early 60s. Came to work one day and got asked if he fancied a transfer to Bar-L to help "sort out" the prisoners. Said no due to the fact that Glasgow was the other side of the world back then. A day later he was transfered anyway.

Few Aberdonians ended up down here with the police and prison service. Our supporters club was started by him and his ex pat pals.

Just bought "Ile" by Edward Gilzean on kindle after a "recommended" advert.

Supposed to be Aberdeen's "Trainspotting" involving football casuals etc

We'll see.

Just finished a book I got from my brother called lost in the wild by a local lassie called Farah McGann. Set in and around the north east. Cat and mouse crime thriller. Great read with some very familiar settings

I read eight Stuart McBride books over the summer, which are set in and around Aberdeen and we're quite decent.

I like crime novels, but I think everyone and their dogs are writing them nowadays.

I'll keep an eye out for the one you mentioned above.

I'm reading Vera Brittains 'Testament of Youth' at the moment.

It's semi autobiographical and covers the period 1900- 1925 and critical of war.

A Theatre For Dreamers by Polly Samson (Dave Gilmour of the Floyd's missus) based on Charmian Clift’s two books about hanging out in Greece in 1960 with artists and writers including Leonard Cohen and his Marianne and a cabal of artists and hingers-on. (Proper Mannies’ paperback).

Hagstone by Sinead Gleeson - young female artist in a wee Irish island who’s asked to create a book about a wifies’ commune on the island. Likes wine, cock, and swimming (Kindle on iPad)

The third part of John Boyne’s “elements” trilogy “Fire” (“Earth” about two fitba players, and “Water” aboot a disgraced lawyer’s wife exiling herself in Ireland to avoid the hoo-hah, were as good as anything Boyne’s ever written) on audiobook.
