You are spot on it was Joe Beltrami. I think it would be a question of applying for legal aid, I don't think we could afford Beltrami's fees or any others for that matter!

Can just imagine Amelia knocking on the door Bless her heart, she probably would an all. Yeah, I put my full address on there along with my e-mail and phone number, so if they want to know more they will be able to contact me by text, e-mail or letter.

Will keep you in touch, take care.

Hi John

Maybe Beltrami would take you on Pro Bono We could all write him letters and plead your case to him. I can just picture poor Amelia's face when she read that I said if they don't reply we'll send her to see what their problem is. Sorry Amelia! Very few people here these days can get legal aid, due to the politics that goes on here. So at least if it's available where you are, it's always an option for you.
My hubby has been asking me for updates on your story and says it's a good thing we're not over there, because he knows with certainty that I would go knock on the door for you. How well he knows me! Anyway John that's great you gave them all the info to contact you, and it will also make it easier for the polis to find you right quick! Cheers, Sheila

Hi Josie if your sister uses the 75 I must have met her if not ask her to look for a wee "wummin" with silver hair pulling a wee shopping trolley I'm a cross between "Miss Ellie" and my son says I'm like the woman in "murder she wrote" cannot remember her name don't know if he's being funny and means I'm nosy, anyway ask her to say Hi to me

Hi Sheila,

How funny your post is, my other half and I have not laughed as much since Mrs Brown's Boys was last on telly!

Strangely enough, a Police car drove up our street last night with the Blues and Two's going and stopped across the road from us. My missus got up from the sofa went to the window and said to me " Yeah it is the Police out there, I take it that the people in Castlemilk have received your card then? " We both laughed our heads off. Thankfully they were on other business and not here to introduce themselves to me!

Take care.

John

Hi John
What a sight that must have been the police car driving down your street and what a laugh you're wife saying "I take it the people in Castlemilk received your card" OMG that was too funny!
Isn't it great we can all have a good laugh on here? Also people like our spouses although not on here, can enjoy the laughs with us.
I was online checking out flights last night to the UK when my son phoned, hubby answered the phone and said "Your Mom's busy right now, she's just trying to book a flight to 31 Blaeloch in Castlemilk, she thinks she has some business to attend to there" So then my son had to be filled in on your story. (nearly said your case there! ) So I hope you get a reply on this soon John, because your story is reaching epidemic proportions in Canada and I might have to start an online petition telling the people to answer you!
Seriously though I hope you'll get an early Christmas gift by receiving a reply from them. I'll tell Santa that's my Christmas wish for you.
Take care John, oh and by the way you and your good wife have quite the sense of humour yourselves. Cheers, Sheila

Hi Gang,
Love all the posts in regards to John and sending the card and all the funny faces too, it made me laugh and that's what it's all about, as we grow older we should be able to laugh and not moan. After all with the ageing process taking it's toll on our limbs etc [and I'm sure we could all have a moan about something or the other] we could have long faces but what's the point in that, that's why I love to see people here in the Gorbals anecdotes having a good old laugh and enjoying ourselves. Obviously there are sad events in all our lives and just like the terrible tragedy at the Clutha bar recently we feel the pain for our fellow Glaswegians who died so tragically and share the grieving of their families and God Bless them all.
Will speak to you later folks and wait for a happy outcome in regards to John's old house.
Regards
Danny.

Hi Sheila,

You got us both here laughing so much my ribs hurt I was reading your post to my best half and she was glued to every word, but when I got to the bit where your Son calls I couldn't speak for laughing not to mention the tears rolling down my face. She had to come round and read it for herself, needless to say she ended up in a worst state than I was in She said we both should consider doing a stand up comedy team routine. A good old giggle with a good old Glasgow sense of humour, nothing else in the world comes close.

Thanks for your request to Santa on my behalf, if he can make dreams come true, he will. That's the magic of Santa Claus.

Take care Sheila.

John

Hi Danny,

I'm glad the posts made you laugh, Sheila is a scream. I totally agree with everything you have said, Laughing is so much easier than moaning and others respond to it because it's infectious, moaning is hard work and it turns others off.

Take care mate.

John

Hi Danny
Agree with your post. As you said we've all experienced sad events in our lives, some more than others and for anyone going through a difficult time right now I hope they are surrounded by love and when they're ready for it again, laughter too. I know sometimes Christmas time can be a really trying for some people especially those who are grieving so if a few laughs on here can lift someone's spirits if only for a moment, then that's great. You take good care of yourself Danny, enjoy your posts. Cheers, Sheila

Hi again John or should I say my comedy team partner
Glad you and your wife had a laugh over the post, I certainly laughed at yours.

So here's my latest plan: I could print out all the comments here and when I go to Glasgow take them to this "silent" person that resides at 31 Blaeloch and show them that this plea is legit! Could maybe add a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine (would check what way the wind was blowing on that one, maybe keep the wine to myself, maybe even keep the chocolates as well if some wee sour ploom opens the door )
I had another plan but it fell through. I asked my friend that works for Strathclyde's finest (the one that has a cousin on the same street) if she could maybe just swing by wearing her uniform and have a wee chat with Mr/Mrs Silent. She was having none of that, I think because she's a wee bit more shy than me. She had the cheek to add she's still trying to recover from my last visit. Now granted I found myself in some very funny situations but none of it my doing, when I'm out I just have a knack for whack jobs zeroing in on me and as I keep telling her "och it's nice to be nice to people". But that is definitely true about whacky people seeking me out, so much so that today I was going to the mall Christmas shopping with my daughter. She said to me "maybe you should wear your sun glasses" I asked, "why would I do that, when it's raining?", she says "then you won't be able to make eye contact with any crazy people". I said to her "would you like me to hire a guide dog for the day and I'll walk round the mall with my eyes shut?". (No disrespect meant to blind people on that) Every time I go somewhere with my kids you always hear one of them mumbling "Oh no, here we go". That's code for "someone's making a bea line to engage in conversation with Mom"
Anyway John don't you worry about it, I have lots of time to come up with other plans to endear you to Mr/Mrs Silent, as my Granny used to say.. "just you mark my words". Anyone on here with any other suggested plans, or schemes in this endeavor, please post them here, marked Attention: John, after all no point in two of us going to jail for this and I'm pretty sure Beltrami will not give us a two for one deal.
Cheers, Sheila (Hi, John's wife )
