Well well, what a pleasant surprise. I met Willie Falconer in Edinburgh last year, he hasn't changed a bit. I still keep in touch with Wee Rab(get aff ma bridge) and Big Dougie, neither of which were in the P+DAADT. I think we were all very priveledged to be a part of such a great and dedicated team. How many of them can you name? They were great days. Neil and Dougie have, I'm sure, kept a tight reign on a top tradition. Hello to Guffers and everyone else, drop us a line. Tam.

By Tam Watt on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 -
Dougie, was it f*** o** I hate you both and if I ever get the chance I'm gonna kill you. Or words to that effect. I certainly remember you being in one of your better moods. How's it going Drummie are you well/sober? Yes I was in Bosnia for the winter, it made me remember all the things I didn't like about the mob. I'm now in partnership and managing a microbrewery. I think it was something to do with not being able to run a •••• up in one that drew me to it. Talking of breweries, who remembers the Ps and Ds visit to the Shultheiss in Spandau? We beat the record hands down, (what do you expect)? but we took a few casualties on the way. Is Neil Hall back with the bon? I keep in touch with Kipper, Wee Rab (get af ma bridge), Dougie Young, Gordon Walker, Rab MacAnnany. Have you seen on the site that Rab Quar is organising a pipe band reunion? Is there a hotel out there brave enough to take that one on? Hope this finds you in good health and spirits. Get in touch. Yours aye, Tam Watt.
By Dougie McDougall on Monday, August 08, 2005 -
Hiya Tam,
good to hear from you and glad you're doing well. A microbrewery eh, well I'm not entirely sure what one is but it sounds like something kipper used to have in the bathroom at the band block in Redford!!! How is Kipper and Rab anyway?
We are all over for the Tattoo for the month so if you can make it down it would be great to see you.
Reunion! What about the Kings Park Hotel in Glasgow? We used to stay there during KAPE tours a few years back.
Anyway Tam, keep in touch and Happy brewing/sampling/brewing/sampling/hic/brewing/etc.
Dougs.
PS met alex macallister at Tain last week.
By Guffers on Saturday, August 27, 2005 -
A wee message for 'Dougie',I might be wrong but have you got the LS & GC, if so, how did ye no get caught? Only kidding mucker, good show on the Tattoo, brought back a few memories, Smudge did'nae look too comfortable as the A & SH Drummie (nae luck). Get in touch soon,

Hiya Alan,

By Guffers on Friday, September 16, 2005 -
Cheers George (not!!) Tam if you see big Gilmour James Boon Paton (bet ye didnae ken that was his full title) again, tell him to pop into Carntyne Transport, Petershill Road for a coffee (i'm their Driver Trainer), or any of the retired "Berlin Brigade" for that matter.
Is he still plod, last i heard he was el'cid?
By TRIPOD on Saturday, September 17, 2005 -
Guffers
No probs i will pass that on he will be in to see me next week and i will pass it on and i will also pass his full name to soeme of his colleagues i'm sure they will appreciate that.
He is off the beat and into plainers but his dress sense hisnae change from his Berlin days. Next time i am up your way i will pop in for a brew
By Dougie McDougall on Saturday, September 17, 2005 -
Hey Tam,
wee dougie here. Hows life since you left us? The Int cell hasn't been the same since. I always remeber Bn security briefs where you had been out in the bins raking for personal documents etc. That was always a laugh. Everyone used to sit there thinking, "please don't let it be me". Anyway pal, good to see you're still around. Keep in touch.
Wee Dougie McDougall
By Tripod on Saturday, September 17, 2005 -
Hiya Dougie
Cheers for dragging up my "midgy raking" past it was always good for a laugh and at least some of the guys learned their lesson.
I guessed things were bad when big PAS asked me back up to inverness 4 months after i had left to brief him on Drumcree !!!!
Things my end are going great i have landed on my feet working for the Procurator Fiscals office in Glasgow dealing with everything from assaults to murders so its interesting stuff and the moneys not to be sniffed at either.
Good to see that you are alive and well and not booked into the Betty Ford Clinic yet.
All the best Tam
By Dougie mcDougall on Monday, October 10, 2005 -

Hi Tam it was good to see you name it's been a long time hope you have been well this is not a bad wee site eh? it's just a shame that these diddies who call themselves "anonymous" and all the other stupid cowardly names dont have the B@*ls to let us all know who they are when they are calling people names and bringing down peoples character but then we had them when we were in so I suppose I should not be surprised that it's still the same. Anyway I was looking at photos of when Harry Mills and I did the Pipe Band S.F. conversion before and during Kenya that was not a bad way to spend a few months eh? anyway hope to talk to you soon all the best to you and anybody else in the band I know and anybody else out there with a real name.

The pic of wee tam surely isnae in the Sportsman (nanyuki)cos I am sure that there were a few other things on the entertainment itinery to keep the jocks amused. Good pics all the same. I remember when we were in Archers Post (Charlie Coy) we had the privilage of seeing the Mortars in action as there had been some issues previous that prevented then carrying out a shoot. The MFC that was attached to Charlie Coy was ...$h!t forgot his first name but he was Jockie Frew's younger brother. Anyway back to the story, We were all blethering during the demonstration and every time that ginge said 'Shot Out' we all thought he was saying 'Shut Up' Wit a bunch of Diddies or wit. Ha! Ha!
