Today for the first time in my life I visited (on business) the fair town of Corby (hometown of ShugZV).

Within 5 seconds of arriving I had spotted my first Celtic shirt - then another - then another - then another - then another (this one drinking Tenants straight from the can at 9.30am) - then a whole group (what is the collective noun for Celtic supporters ?)

What an experience ! A little bit of Scotland - in the heart of England - I cannot recommend it highly enough. With my business over and feeling peckish I somehow managed to resist the considerable charms of Corby's town centre inns. Instead I opted to drive out in the countryside and found a pub where I got a top fish and chip lunch for £4 (!!) washed down with bottles of Becks (on a buy one - get one free offer). On leaving I was delighted to note that my car was still equiped with 4 alloy wheels.

With time on my hands I decided to test ShugZV's theories - stopping at Kettering for petrol I was asked if I "wanted a receipt with that ME DUCK". An excellent way to end a most satisfying day.

Surprised it took 5 seconds for you to see the first Celtic shirt:jawdrop: The Tims (collective noun)for Celts fans would have been out in force today as the new home shirt was on sale. I thought you would be familiar with the Kettering sheep-sh***ers lingo seeing as you hail from Northampton Adam.:D

Yeah you are correct that I was born in Northampton - but at the age of 7 I moved with my family to Leicester.

Leicester at least is a proper city - with a half decent football team. Clearly Leicester would have had even more success on the pitch if a certain Scottish team hadn't nicked our manager and half our players.

I read that earlier and I fuckin pished masel:lol:

Very good review of Corby I thought! I was also born in Northampton me ole fruity;) But I have always lived in Little Scotland. Tennants at 9.30 in the morning? That must have been his dinner. I will be joining the Celts contingent in purchasing the new top the morra, I will also be looking for a sombrero to go with my free Green & White Beach Ball (free with every edition of this weeks Celtic View)

Apparently there's a site where you can add stuff about Corby.....When I find it, I may well cut and paste yer wee masterpiece.

Thanks again for a GREAT LAUGH after a crappy day in the Office!
