October 2003 Feature: Kidnapped Diary (9)
Lovely journey, quite easy. Didn’t take as long as we thought it did. Once we got the ferry across, it was straight down the road. We were miles ahead of everyone else as they had stopped in Oban. We got the ferry to Bute. I looked down to read my mag and we were there. Random crossing - build a bridge? We drove down from the north end. Got to Rothesay – Massive! A cracking place. A Fifties feel to it. Lots of the buildings with scaffolding being done up. All the houses seemed of a certain age. The Pavilion was from the Thirties. Seemed like that was when the town was prosperous. Had the day off. We went out for lunch then back to the hotel and slept for hours. Wanted to watch the footie.Went to the pub that Fleur said everyone was meeting in, they were playing Jenga. There was no TV. We went somewhere to watch football. We eventually came back to the pub, we were starving. Struan and I and Alan McPherson happened upon this Indian place. We ordered special kebabs. They were the size of a baby, stuffed full – outrageous! Went back got suitably drunk and went home. Next day I wasn’t feeling very well, I was aching all over. Bought some flu tablets and some Lucozade. Did the show. All enjoyed it. In a tent kinda thing, a canopy. Strange to speak in, deadened the sound. Kind of hard work. John Langford had a couple of comedy moments. 240 people, they loved it. Did the Get Out then went to the pub and went home. |
