  1. I don't believe in reincarnation I'm not coming back as a flower
  2. So long as Graham gets a career ending injury at one of the 2 games, I don't care which one it is.
  3. Flattery and praise will get you everywhere Have sent you a PM.
  4. I'll have a few squirrelled away Graham, check back in a couple of days, I'll hopefully have had time to post them.
  5. I'd like to thank @buchan30 for greenying this an hour ago, and reminding me of this classic
  6. Had to collect Mrs Ranter and a mini-Ranter from Edinburgh due to the trains being aff. The drive back along the M9 to Larbert was interesting, like driving on a carpet of tree detritus at times.
  7. We had one, but gas costs weren't an issue - my mum was a science teacher.
  8. Dumbarton's joint record signing*, we reputedly paid £50k for him from you guys. *The other is Charlie 'God' Gibson, who pretty much every Sons fan feels gave us a much better return for the money spent.
  9. He's too busy looking after the kids, or so the papers would have their readers believe, conveniently not mentioning that the family are nannied oot their nuts under normal conditions.
  10. From memory, it formed a day of work out of a larger self-development(improvement) course my work put me and my peers thru. After all the work we did, my results were plotted on a scale, my Auditory and Visual learning were in single figures, Kinesthetic (ie practical) was within single figures of the top mark possible. I had to Google to make sure I had the terms right in my post, and saw stuff that @virginton refers to, that less importance should be attached to learning styles (maybe it was a typical 'trendy' thing) but the premise for me was spot on - talk at me or give me manuals/processes to read, I learn virtually nothing. Give me something practical to do alongside other instructions, I pick up stuff really quickly.
  11. Used to work with a lassie who was slim, but like an ironing board with 2 smarties on it. She convinced the NHS that this made her feel so down and insecure that she got a breast enhancement on the NHS. Afterwards, she was now an insecure lassie with slightly larger diddies. In her case, she'd've probably benefitted more from some sort of counselling rather than surgery.
  12. It was only when I did a fairly involved Learning Styles module as part of a training course, at my old work, that it fell into place why I made such a poor attempt at my engineering degree (I lasted 16 weeks). Auditory learning, I scored really really poorly (worse than Sons front line), and the bulk of my course, at least the term I did, was sitting in lectures listening to someone, well, lecturing. Visual - not a whole lot better. Like you, I have to read, reread, and reread again multiple times, and even then in 10 minutes time, it's as if I've never read the stuff at all. So, the course support books were little use to me either. Kinesthetic learning - I was off the scale to the opposite degree. If I'd only known this years before, I'd've done something much more differently eg go down an apprenticeship route or summat.
  13. 7/9/91, Kilbowie Ba***es 1, Killie 1. Looks like Tommy Burns in 1 of the pics?
  14. He had a classic final in the Dutch Open versus Hertz Van Rental. 2009, I think it was.
  15. Re the moustaches, the offence was committed on Nov 13, so thry were probably Movember efforts.
