"Allegedly the German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one’s gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and British Airways , call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: “Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway.”
Ground: “Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.” The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: “Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?”
Speedbird 206: “Stand by, Ground, I’m looking up our gate location now.”
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): “Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?”
Speedbird 206 (coolly): “Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,… and I didn’t land.”0 -

A flight attendant sees a suspicious looking couple on board, so she reports it to the Captain immediately.
“Sir, I think we have a case of human trafficking!
There is a very pretty, hot & sexy looking female passenger on board, who looks sad & quite frightened.
The man sitting beside her is a fat old slob, who looks like a letch, very sullen, mean, and dangerous!".The captain responds...,
“Patricia, I’ve told you this before. This is Air Force One...”

Donald Trump goes on a presidential tour of Israel. While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and dies. The undertaker tells the American diplomats accompanying him,
"You can have him shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land, for just $100.” The American diplomats go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes.
They return with their answer to the undertaker and tell him they want Donald Trump shipped home. The undertaker is puzzled and asks, "Why would you spend $50,000 to ship him home when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100?”
The American diplomats reply, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk."0 -

Beginning to wonder if Andy Ryan is cursed, we were going well, then his loan signing was announced and everyone was elated thinking we would score at will, but since he came on as a sub against East Fife we have not scored a single goal!

You are right re the small numbers on the back of Airdrie strips. As I remember Airdrie were the only other team with a strip design, other than us, that prevented use of a large number. Our numbers appeared above the black and gold bands.
You’re right about Celtic too, they had their numbers on their shorts.
However, they were on the telly regularly so commentators had no trouble identifying the players.I remember clearly the old strips with the numbers within the diamond, the first team strips had a solid number, the reserve team strips were different, and had the number in red outline only

I was checking out at Tesco today when I noticed the man in front of me put one thing on the conveyer belt... A box of condoms. Not only did he notice me staring but decided to make super uncomfortable eye contact. So to lighten the mood I put my bottle of ketchup on and said "looks like we've both bought something to put on our sausages"

Some unreal classic Airdrie shirts on this website chaps. No need to thank me.

Some of those shirts cost more than the players that wore them

Ah cheers renton, glad to hear it can be done. Did you phone ahead for putting the carry out in the office? I might have a bag which has work stuff and the like in ias well as the booze so if they would take a bag in that would be ideal!
Would be great if they reopened the old "town! station and shut the harbour station, the old station was almost right behind the stand.

I've just been to an electrical goods store with a fridge where you knock twice on a darkened window on the front and it illuminates to show you the inside contents.
Not a joke but a fascinating and true story related to yours.
At last! a fridge that satisfies those with OCD that cannot be convinced that the light does go off when you shut the door

Isn't that him in the painting in Baillies Lane?
