simon simpson Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 For those of you aware, and also for those unaware, I was found Not Guilty of assault at Glasgow Sheriff Court this morning. It may be on Reporting Scotland at lunchtime and 6pm. Thanks to all those club members who offered support during the difficult months since my being charged in January. There may still exist some continued action, this time concerning the reporting police constable who failed to interview two witnesses named by the complainant (and favourable to me) and failed to forward to the Procurator Fiscal another statement which supported my position as he regarded it as "more of a defence statement" The world 'full' and 'disclosure' come to mind. Thanks to all ss ps Edinburgh Bike has a sale on starting saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted August 29, 2006 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Justice is served for the Scotstown One Surely some celebrating is in order- anyone for a curry? I think we absolutely have to go out now! Marco van W ( who is sat beside me now, as I type says: "how aboot this Friday?) Who's the social convenor anyhow? (Kenny Steele? Martin? Dougie?) All the usual suspects please post to get this arranged. ttfn DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Simon, A welcome relief for yourself and your family after what must have been a nightmare period of uncertainty and frustration over the last year. With regards to Convener for the Curry Night I think I must defer to Martin and Dougie on the grounds of me being much better looking plus I'm away with work over the next few days and won't get back until 10pm Friday night Might be able to join you for a late beer with suitcase in tow Cheers, Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David McKellar Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 We appear to have a double posting about the curry venue this Friday so to save anymore confusion we will stick with Darryl's original proposal and meet up in Paisley Ashoka? curry house just up from Dooley's.

Life Members chung Posted August 31, 2006 Life Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Sorry David, I've got rock climbing this Friday night. You guys have a good one! Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been for an Indian meal since I was 9 years old. All the more reason to try it, I suppose! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Isn't Moss Street still cobbled? Chung. You could combine your evening by having a good few beers at the curry house and then clamber up the cobbles on your hands and knees on your way to the The Bull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted August 31, 2006 Life Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Nice one Kenny, Not only have I not had a proper Indian for 28 years, but I haven't had a pint for about 37 years cause I, believe it or not, am allergic to alcohol (before anyone makes any smart remarks it's more than getting drunk) it gives me a rash all over..........so coke only for me I'm afraid!
