Apparently they fit Edinburgh City Council's parking meters and give you about two hours worth.....

well, you're the greatest Stranraer poster named after a French Statesman on P&B What happened to the roaster who was having a mutliple post meltdown on P&B on Saturday night......

FC Honka's name makes me smile. The fact that they come from EsPOO must also be a delight for the puerile Athletic Bilbao - I knew some Basques once and I've actually been to the San Mames for a game Kaiserslautern- I knew a girl from there Vardar Skopje- I have a friend in Skopje FK de Rakt women's team- they wore skirts instead of shorts... ... unfortunately for pervs they seem to have gone back to wearing shorts..

which twat at Edinburgh Zoo showed the pandas "Restless Natives" then??!

I know of at least three people who are on the bottom grade of the civil service earning 12k a year and are all law graduates so tbh I wouldn't bother going to uni unless I was looking to pump foreign burdz. Edinburgh and St Andrew's are full of yah tossers, Aberdeen used to have the best Union in Scotland when I was there but it shut down so feck them, Stirling has killer moorhens in that loch that will mug you for your pieces so it looks like Scotland's Capital of Freedom, Dondeh for your lad.

As an 80s kid these knot tops remind me of Stanley Baxter in "Mr Majeika".... (I'm surprise Bernie Ecclestone never sued the makers btw)

strangely enough I'm not so scared of the large tarantula type spiders or even the f*ck-off huge bird eating one, it's the 2 to 3 inch buggers that I find icky.

I'm pretty sure when I was young we used to get strong gales in October and nobody shat themselves back then.

when we were laddies back in the 80s me and my mates used to slag Kano's haircut I mean it looks like ma kano shoved a pudding bowl on his napper and cut round it ffs!

ta-ta-rantino?!

sounds like they made a SARS of things.... it seems by that list of girls names you just adapt a name of your favourite pop star. I hope I have twin girls so I can call them Morrisseya and Craigan-Charley!

Part of the proposals at the time were for a 4000 seater training ground that was to be offered to Meadowbank Thistle. Just imagine, there might have been no Livingston franchise had that happened...

fookin' 'ell Sharon they named a team after me?! I can remember watching Crombiie Sports at the rather tight Grandholm Park in Aberdeen in 1991. I don't think they lasted too long after that.

I heard of a name spelled "Kenadie" today and I put it down to poor education. This is because my mum's (male) cousin was called Kennedy (the proper spelling). He had the good sense to emigrate to Canada though. The family always called him Kenny. One of her Uncles was called Kitchener- he was known as Kitchie.

I wouldn't recognise the Invisible Man or Thomas Pynchon if they walked past me in the street. Have you ever done that thing where you see someone you think is famous but you say to yourself "Naw, can't be them.."? It's just there was a guy looked very like Alex Salmond in the Advocate Pub on Friday night when I was having a post work pint but he wasn't surrounded by bodyguards or anything.

Aberdeen Fanzine "The Red Final" had a great cover when Duncan Ferguson got put in the pokey. It was a Gordon Reid cartoon of Duncan in a prisoners suit with arrows on it and a ball and chain around his ankle holding up a Monopoly board where all the squares were "Go to Jail"..... Maybe the OP got a five hunner quid bankers draft or similar?

There was a deid wasp hanging from a bit of web on the washing line the other day. It's almost as if it had been caught, the spider had tried a nibble and like a child forced to eat sprouts said "yuck" and left it. If even spiders don't like wasps what use are they?

Hermless by Michael Marra, recently covered by Loudon Wainwright III "Hermless, hermless, there's never nae bother fae me, You wouldn't notice that I wasn't there if I didn't come hame for my tea.."

Edinburgh Uni 2 Spartans 2 A good crowd tonight for the first game at the new improved Peffermill. It's rather impressive now although I suspect the pitch, although fine now, may take time to bed down. And my half time pie, usually scorching at the Uni, was cold... The great and the good of East of Scotland football were spotted at what is now called the East Peffermill Stadium- John Greenhorn, Sir Peter, Mike Lawson, Keef A, Gary Jardine, Grim O'Grady.... the game was a good one for the neutral (me I suppose) and Spartans looked to have nicked it with a penalty (clear cut actually- tam the unbiased) but a cracking strike just minutes from time won a point for the Students. Uni don't look as bad as their league results might suggest and have some good players. Anyway here's some photos in glorious CityChrome

I might wander down and check out the brilliance of their new DEVIL'S ILLUMINATION.....

It would be rather funny to say to one of these guys: "right, so you don't recognise any laws. O.K.... I'll just pull out this rather large and deadly knife and you can hand over yer wallet sunshine...."

City should be worth a watch (as always). We've had great players come through our youth ranks over the years. The goalie, Billy, we've got on loan from Livingston looks a good player certainly..

How?

that photo made me think of Raiders of the Lost Ark..
