The Mantis

For anyone travelling to Jamaica... Just to let you know, a steak & kidney pie is £1.95, a chicken pie is £1.70 & an apple pie is £2.05. Those are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean.

The lights went up in 1957. I occasionally forget how young most posters are. Being quite an auld c**t, I would be a toddler then. I remember the non-segregated days back in the 70s. Away fans would try and take the shed at the corner.

Aye sure mate although there's better ones online without the wings cut off

A bit of a long day yesterday after getting up at 5am and driving up to Speyside. Hit the jackpot a wee bit though.

My missus hated whisky. Once we were staying in Oban at a hotel and when we got the after dinner coffees I went up and got a couple of drams. One was Macallan, I've forgotten the other. Sipping a dram with a coffee is the business for me and that got her hooked. She's actually got a better nose for the stuff than I have. Occasionally I've given her stuff from the SMWS and she says it's like night and day compared to the supermarket ones I alternate with. btw just recently got into this thread. I'm on scotchmaltwhisky.com but this forum is far busier considering its a subforum although maybe less diverse as the other one has a lot about foreign whiskies.

Speaking as somebody who watches all grades including u20, International, junior, LL, women's, spfl, etc etc, I think that's a bizarre claim and I'm surprised nobody's picked up on it. The Juniors forum has enough 'wha's like us' shite as it is.

Another reason Lopez was a better player. Boden wasn't even any use at gobbing.

The QC was that price earlier in the year (£4 off normal at Costco). I got 1 and finished it and I was saying on a whisky forum I wished I'd got more, and it was pointed out to me it's been reduced again from 26 June.

Bought 2 of each

Johnny Walker Green Label £30 at Asda right now. Laphroaig Quarter Cask £23.98 at Costco.

I doubt there's anybody else you can lump in with Spartans despite insinuating that some people 'as good as said'. I know our secretary at Whitehill (who's up with all the Hampden bigwigs etc) was excited by the idea of the LL being on a par with the HL and giving us a more professional setup to compete in but nothing more sinister than that.

Or the world's first ice cream van. Walls of Jericho

You meet Rab?

If I didn't know you better I'd swear you were enjoying this.

Harsh. He notched 2 in an 8-1 win at Buckie pre season.

Nice pic. Must be one of haufdaft's. Billy Stark's lugs have stood the test of time.

As if you bring hundreds to TCS even though you only do the trip twice a season. Plus it costs us extra to replace the hubcaps.

No wonder Rothes are poor. Playing in alcohol fumes every second week. I was pished just watching.

When I took this I desperately wanted it to be the dream combination of a football ground with a distillery behind it, but even though there are 4 distilleries in Rothes that isn't one. Forget now what it is. Think the sheds on the right belong to Glen Grant though.

I half agree with you but from my insider contacts it seems Regan was like many other English imports. He 1) didn't really understand the concept of the Juniors and their impact on the culture here, and 2) Thought a quick fix English solution was easy and we were just all a bit slow/thick up here.

Apologies, I forgot Edu makes 4. Did Clyde actually start with history and support then? Seriously though, the East-West issue behind all this needs rectified, as the LL was seen as EOS under another name. IMO there's too much prejudice against the LL as I doubt many people in the West have any experience of the LL beyond these boys clubs as you call them. I watch a fair bit of Juniors too and I come through for games. The West Super Premier is an excellent 'product' and as most people say there should be a West/East split.

Exactly. FTFY but keep trying haufdaft!

Yeah, it was nothing great. Forthbank's actually ok, but I'm not a fan of these funny wee enclosed terraces behind the goals. Ross County had one too before they put the seats in the away end.

Very impressed. Don't get this Eidon Hill though. The Eildons are away to the south of the park and I even googled Eidon Hill but found nowt. That looks like the 250m hill with the mast above Langlee.

Ask haufdaft, he'll tell you
