Great photograph. How often did you stand outside waiting for the light, or did you take 365 each year and delete 364?

The sun shines in Leith every day, doncha know

I realise I may be several hours late, but isn't that Ronnie Simpson in goals for Newcastle? Anyone else remember his sports shop at the west end of Rose Street in the 1970s?

I think it is.

And yes, I do remember the shop, and Ronnie himself - an absolute gentleman.

IIRC that was one of the first places in Edinburgh if not Scotland where you could get just about any replica shirt in any size?

We had friends in Orkney whose wee boy was daft about Clough's Nottingham Forest and his dad couldn't get him a strip anywhere. I asked Ronnie; he didn't have the right size but ordered it and got it for the wee guy, AND posted it off to him, within the week.

A really genuine guy.

Maybe some of the real oldies will recognise THIS picture?

is that the day we sealed third and rangers won the league - may 2005?

No, it was dull and quite cold that day, even although it was May.

So: why the flags of another country? Are we terrorist sympathisers?

What a really stupid comment/question.
