Title: Ironic (but not in an Alanis Morisette way). Post by: Rod Paradise on November 18, 2005, 12:40:20 PM The guy who has fired the One O'Clock Gun (and scaring the crap out of tourists :D) in Edinburgh for the last 25 years, Tam the Gun, has passed away.
Among tributes to him GNER are going to name a train after him..... Naming something that will be habitually late in tribute to a guy who has been bang on time for 25 years..... irony of the highest order. Other unsuitable tributes.... The Colchester Kev Vegetable Garden..... The TK Youth Centre.... Any more? Title: Re: Ironic (but not in an Alanis Morisette way).

I am an Edinburgh Lass though not been back for years now and that bleeding gun used to scare the living daylights out of me too while browsing Princes Street ;scarymoment; As a youngster used to go up town with me mates in the summer just to see the tourists run for cover pmsl Often thought that if I was to rob a bank that would be the ideal time to blow the safe :D
