Anyone claim this Thomson?

I'll take him! But, I think when Ern picks up on this post I'll have a fight on my hands because HE will think the man should be an Australian Scot!
Looks like the Thompson tent will be up at Jacksonville on the 28th. I know you can't make it there, but it's nice to have Duke and Taylor out for another Scottish 'bonding' experience!

We Thom(p)sons really take our football seriously, don't we?

Mary was quite right about Australia claiming Slugger Thompson as an Aussie-Scot in fact Andy Capp was the Emblem for my old Rifle Company's boozer.
Delta Coy, 1 Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.
Another fact was our Coy was the Battalion Rugby Champions and sported no less than 2 Thompsons at any time and all were called "Slugger" just to confuse the opposition.
Below is the emblen on a T-shirt worn only by Delta members.

Love it Ern! ;D You keeping everyone straight down under? Hope the drought and fires haven't affected you or yours. Love the pictures of the little koalas having a drink.
