I'll vote for Peter too

Which one are you in the picture and the guy third from left is the spitting image of a guy I used to work with. This guy could talk to computers at the sub-atomic level.

Thank's to reading about it on this here forum, I caught an old WEIR'S WAY episode this afternoon. It had been shot on one of those rare days when the Scottish west coast looks Mediterranean, with clear blue, windless sea's and heat haze blasting off the rocks. Perfect viewing on a miserable wet Sunday in the Big City.

I'm glad this show didn't go the way of so many of it's vintage, with all it's tapes wiped and dumped so some accountant could say he'd managed to save some space and money in an archive house. Shame I don't live in a region that's currently repeating it. Och well. I am concerned though that none of the folk in Peter's picture seem to have noticed that giant stone foot about to stamp them all to a pulp.

You'll have to excuse me. I rarely indulge in pointless posts like this, however:
hahahahaha ::):

Well spotted

Hello. I'm new to this site, but I would like to ask for your help. If you had the chance to interview Mr Tom Weir, what questions would you ask? What would you most like to know? Thank you for any replies.

Sad news indeed, totally irreplaceable

by **ramor69** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 3:18 pm

Yep, very sad news.

Never met the guy but would have
loved to.

Have only just found out the news on this site. The wee man was a product of his time and I knew a few of his contemporaries. A sad day and the passing of an era.

I hope STV put together an evening of Tam Weir stuff ...they owe him that much at least.
