In fact, in view of how may drunken nights he spent with my family, let us see how my hair loss develops before we call the jury back in on whether he is my father.
My reference to "right opinion" was regarding the example I gave, X Factor.
My opinions on Aly Bain would be slightly different, seeing as he is familiar enough to be thought of as family to me.

Ally's an OK fiddle player. He's also a sleaze. And a drunk. I'd have no problems saying that to his face, as I've said it before.
Phil is a great man, a decent player, too. Does a lot of good work for Folk music, even if his pension plan is a little dubious. Always good craic at a session whenever he feels like joining in.
Together, their turgid, life-sapping shabal rammy is about as fun as rolling in nettles.
I couldn't care less what they think of me, and am sure - as already indicated by Ally - that he could care less about me also.
Well I wonder how that conversation went last time you told them that??
I will look forward to hearing what they think of you from their own mouths.
I don't think they are classless enough to talk about other musicians, regardless how junior, in their absence, in a public place.
"Ally's an OK fiddle player"
You really are a sad little man.
Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham
Dr Phil Cunningham MBE
Widely regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative accordion players of the times, Phil Cunningham has taken this instrument from strength to strength, setting the standards by which many young players fix their sights today.
Phil’s early work with leading Scots band Silly Wizard (1976-1986) reclaimed a place for the accordion in the traditional music world.
The accordion being only one of the strings to his bow, as a multi-instrumentalist he works extensively in television and film as a composer, musical director and presenter. He is much sought after as a record producer and he manages to juggle all of these diverse commitments enabling him to continue touring and recording with long time musical partner and friend Aly Bain.
Dr Aly Bain MBE
Aly Bain is Scotland's supreme traditional style fiddler. His playing is unique - driving, impassioned and pure - with vibrant, unmistakable tone that has earned him a following of ardent fans throughout the world. Born in Lerwick, Shetland in 1946 Aly began playing the fiddle at the age of eleven. In his early twenties, Aly headed to mainland Scotland. His dramatic playing, with great tone and technical ability brought early recognition as an outstanding musician of the folk music revival, and almost overnight, raised the level of expectation for music lovers throughout the country.
Aly and Phil have toured annually together since 1988 and have recorded six albums together.These ambassadors of Scottish music have both been awarded MBEs and doctorates for their services to Scottish Music. In 2003 Phil was voted Best Instrumentalist in the Scottish Traditional Music Awards. In 2005 they were awarded Best Duo in the BBC Folk Awards and Phil was awarded 'Composer of the Year' at the 2007 ST
Well if ye can get a job in journalism there is hope for all of us..
I have and perhaps to a rather greater extent than you might be aware of.
But that has nothing to do with my position.
You are simply a bit of a negative .
In your opinion.
..and whose opinion would I be giving except my own?
I think it's a case of 'Music speaks louder than words'
We appear to have accumulated rather a lot of Loud Mouths here recently which is sad for Caithness.org .
Why does it always end in a slaging session on here.?
I enjoyed the night very much, as did the kids i had with me.
Whether one is a drunk, or not ,,,what the heck does that matter? i dont judge him on anything but the music i hear with my ears!!!
Live and let live for peats sake......one persons steak is another mans burger.
