Hi everyone, i'm working with someone who is a graphic designer and illustrator working on illustrating as many of the kits we can in the world from 1980-90 and i'm covering the Scotland research.

I have looked around generally and cannot find any great pictures online on Google or other sites plus i have exhausted all the info in all the Clydesdale Bank books.

I was wondering if anyone on here is an ex player or a fan that goes back to the 80's of Dumbarton, has shirts and photos of them, home and away, and or photographs in colours of the squads and the players from the 80's, in black and white too even?

Looking for photos of the shirts, kits and players with sponsors:

▪︎Unsponsored Umbro amber and white

▪︎Thermal K Shield kits

▪︎Masonary Contracts kits

▪︎Polaroid kits

This would be a massive help if any fans have info, photos of items or players from then. Thanks.

Graham

I'll have a few squirrelled away Graham, check back in a couple of days, I'll hopefully have had time to post them.

Also her in the money-raising challenge a couple of days ago with picking the way thru the lasers.

Meryl when challenge was unveiled - *jumps about* "yes, if ever a challenge was designed for me!"

Next up - Meryl.

2 seconds later - "Bzzzp, contestant eliminated"

Absolute talent vacuum.

I'd like to thank @buchan30 for greenying this an hour ago, and reminding me of this classic

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.

, never to grace the light gain because the replacement cartridges cost too much and its too much hassle.

We had one, but gas costs weren't an issue - my mum was a science teacher.

Calum Campbell gave Killie a first half lead. Known by the fans as "Psycho Nurse" due to his job and 20th century insensitivity. After his playing days he moved into hospital management and is the current chief executive of NHS Lothian

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.

Presumably Rose Hanbury will be taking care of Baldy Wullie's pegging requirements whilst the Blessed Saint Kate is having her tubes tied.

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.

That learning styles thing sounds more interesting than the engineering degree probably was

I take it this is something that lazy arseholes such as myself could Google to find, as I'm curious.

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.

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.

A couple of years ago I tried to do an online course through the Open University and just struggled to take things in. I found myself having to read things over and over again and it just wasn’t going in, and I was struggling with various maths components. Admittedly my mental health was in a real state, but I had to stop after the first semester as I just couldn’t do it. Was quite the blow and made me feel worse. I see plenty of folk with a degree and think to myself that surely I can do it, but I just can’t. I’m shit at studying and shit at taking a lot of details in.

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.

There’s a lay-by near me that occasionally has a burger van type thing operating in it. When open, they erect a sign that says

Snack Van Open

I picture Snack Van Open as a Dutch darts player. The vision of him plagues my journeys to work.

He had a classic final in the Dutch Open versus Hertz Van Rental.

2009, I think it was.

Re the moustaches, the offence was committed on Nov 13, so thry were probably Movember efforts.

Two idiot supports who have chosen to pretend to care about Israel or Palestine based on the colours of their flags.

I thought it was just the usual oppresser/oppressed shtick, but you have made me realise that that might be a bit highbrow, and colour-based choices are more likely.
