By coincidence our most prominent enemies were always the Kerrs who gained the upper hand tbf.

We are the Scotts and this is us ...https://www.bowhillhouse.co.uk/bowhill-house/history/clan-scott/

We go, every year, to one of the 'Ridings' usually at Howick.

This will give you an idea ...

... I don't have my own stuff, in France, but they're all similar and crazy.

If you go you'll feel a part of it all, I don't know how but you will.

Well bloody hell, what you can learn at 1.30am on a Sunday morning.....
Turns out my surname is a derivative of the viking "kjrr", or Kerr/Carr in southern Scotland/ Northern England.
I knew Carr was a derivative of Kerr, but never knew the longer history.

I went to school with a Gary Carr and a Stephen Carr. Same year but not related that I’m aware of. Didn’t cross my mind that it was a northern name. My real surname of Hall is common wherever you go though.

Yeah, thats it. Its unreal, I try to make it myself, but its not like theirs.
I do make a cracking haggis spaghetti bolognese though.
You take care mate, and best wishes to Mrs Smug. Leadgate is still covered in snow, -3 degrees. Bottom of Medomsley bank, +3 degrees, and not a sign of bloody snow....different world!!

Well actually it’s derived from someone who lived in or at a hall or manor house. That’s what Wiki says anyway. And for Smug it also says it’s one of the Middle March reiving families. I’m descended from criminals!

Going to be honest here, and don't want to sound like a kneejerker or owt, but telling people it's going to happen and making back room appointments is (genuinely) all well and good, but the worry is that the transfer window is closing before long and we really need at least two or three first choice players in. If it hasn't happened yet then, since the EFL told KLD it was a formality, we should be pushing them to get it done. If it is approved then just announce it and crack on, no one cares about waiting until some other appointment can come in at the same time tbh.

We're not far off; Shrewsbury looked completely **** but this was their first defeat since November and they'd taken 15 points from their last 7 (including wins at Lincoln and Hull) so this season is there for us and there's no reason why we couldn't go on a similar win. With the wage cap really hitting next year, we can't afford to still be here. We need quality in though, before the top two end up getting too far ahead and to ensure we're doing everything we can. I have no doubts it'll be done, but we don't really need Johnson being told to give us little comforts, we need some real movement where it matters, on the pitch.

I wonder if announcing a new billionaire owner would lead to agents and clubs trying to squeeze more money out of us, maybe we are just being cute. Maybe our new data team (I dont know if we have one, I am sure you could pay a one off fee for someone to do a one off job for you) are just now ready to recommend targets. Regardless, if we are going to bring anyone in I wish we would hurry the **** up

Thing is mate, these are your family not just some drawings in a book.

It may sound soft but if I'm ever in a dilemma, ask struggling, I'll ask myself what my Reiver family would expect.

If you have a direct line to one of these families it's a blessing mate.

After reading these messages, I did a quick check. My surname is the type of dagger border reivers carried in the 16th century! Small world. :-)

That's good mate, good to keep busy these days imo. I know what you mean about the takeover, but it seems appointments are being made so heading the way we want it. A lad said to me when we were talking about it the other day about there's no rush and we can't spend it in leauge one, I said it'll be nice to have it in the bank though. lol.
