  1. It’s hard to see that as anything other than a political move. There’s literally nothing on the BBC Scotland channel at the time, surely no issue keeping it there.

    We’ll see how quickly they stop televising the UK Governement press briefings when they begin.



    Heard they are banning Bargain Hunt too as each episode ends with a resounding YES
  2. I've spent a lot of time in the country in my life and last week was the first time I had seen a Tree-creeper!

    Cracking wee bird. Had one as a regular in trees around the farm yard. Could watch it for ages going up and down the trees.
  3. Recently listened to the following

     

    Runrig Recovery : still good

     

    ELO Out of the Blue : patchy but some great moments

     

    Big Country The Crossing : love it

     

    Blue Nile Walk across the Rooftops : class

     

    Stereophonics Word gets around: great album Performance and Cocktails was good too. Went to shit after that IMHO

     

    Grim Northern Social self titled: great album great band live. Sadly their one and only album.

     

  4. Late night they have the CC festival club. Pot luck which acts are playing it but you'll get 3 or 4 playing 20-30 minutes each at any given night. Often a mix of styles.
    Participation? More likely at one of the more regular sessions. One of the pubs near Kelvingrove Park has a well established trad music night.


    Thanks going to break out the mandolin I think. Getting too old for lugging around the old banjo. Or could really travel light and find singing session. To be honest I’m like a kid in a sweet shop. So much choice.
  5. A bauchal of a woman in her late 50’s on bus today, was roaring on her phone to some man that she promised she had “slept wae nae c**t. Man obviously wasn’t believing her. She then swore on her bairns life she hadn’t but qualified by adding “this week”. Much to the amusement of fellow passengers.

  6. If Israel can play in Europe qualifying and Australia can be in Eurovision, maybe Scotland can move to CONCACAF. Might only be half an hour in, but this is tailor made for us. Shite football, shite crowd but plenty of hacking. Post BREXIT Scotland might have a positive side [emoji6]

  7. Brechin have a good manager and assistant - if they keep their squad they will be up top.
    Edinburgh very similar - good infrastructure and team, depends on movement of players.  They are an outside bet for me.
    Elgin may sit around 7th, but depends if they can strengthen their squad. 
    Cove for me will see a jump in quality - just my humble opinion.  Maybe everyone else will prove me wrong? 
    At least we have people talking about the League and I am demented with no games [emoji6]
     
     

    You my friend, I fear, are just demented, full stop.
  8. Remember was working in a Dunfermline hotel and Kenny Wards daughter was a waitress she got all embarrassed when I told her her dad was a Cowden Legand 


    Met up with Kenny a few years back and he has no idea how highly regarded he is at Cowdenbeath. He was embarrassed when I told him. Don’t really think he believed me.
  9. I remember Jim from the CFT telling me that Levein had thought all the "scab" stuff would have died down (it was about 15-16 years after the strike) Jim told him he still knew old boys in the area who still went on about the 1926 strike:lol:


    I saw him as a scab first and foremost. Good keeper but that doesn’t make up for it.
  10. And cos I'm really bored now, and fed up with this season... I might as well start a semi-regular thread over the next few weeks, asking for your favourite player in certain positions down the years... Starting with....
    Best/favourite keeper you've seen with the thankless task of guarding the Cows' net?



    Raymie Alan for me. Did like Ernie McGarr when I was younger . What a lad for saving penalties he was.
