Foreword: Letter to My Editor
________________
He knew him well
An old pub near the Angel
Nice to be Nice
Remember Young Cecil
No longer the warehouseman
Busted Scotch
Acid
Learning the Story
Away in Airdrie
The hitchhiker
Wee Horrors
Roofsliding
Not not while the giro
the paperbag
In a betting shop to the rear of Shaftesbury Avenue
O jesus, here come the dwarfs
A Nightboilerman’s notes
Old Francis
The one with the dog
Forgetting to mention Allende
Cute Chick!
The Small Family
Half an hour before he died
The Red Cockatoos
Dum vivimus, vivamus
Getting Outside
Greyhound for Breakfast
Pictures
A walk in the park
A situation
A woman and two men
Lassies are trained that way
Street-sweeper
That thread
by the burn
