Cheers for that. So far there is a disappointing lack of 100 ft statues encircling the ground. One for the suggestion box. Sent from my SM-G900F using Pie and Bovril mobile app

Cheers. Thought that might be the case. Will need to get myself to the Ice Arena next Fri.

Where can you find this document?

Also the Scottish national football and rugby teams might be tempted to play some diddy opposition at any new ground. It's clear that the city is crying out for a decent sized, modern stadium.

I'm sure HMRC's Valuation Office Agency would be happy to help...

The Main Stand isn't listed; however it is an Archibald Leitch-designed thing of beauty and will be a loss to the city.

Shop is operating extended opening hours- will be open until 7pm on Wed and Thurs and open Sun until 4pm.

And it's why they are struggling to sell out their allocation for the first derby in almost 15 months. It'd be interesting how they'd react to a third consecutive season in the seaside leagues. A lot less cars covered in cow dung; rapeseed and A92 roadkill clogging up the Cleppy on Championship match days I'd imagine.

The first ever a semi colon has been displayed on a scarf?

Sorry, slightly off topic- but has anyone seen the fucking state of this article: https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/no-dundee-derby-sees-dark-blues-coffers-take-hit/ What it omits to say is the The Rangers replaced Utd last season and Hamilton's win at the expense of Utd is mitigated somewhat by Hibs replacing ICT. Contrast this with the Courier's article boasting about Utd's budget being largest in the Championship and their financial situation not being as desperate as "reported elsewhere" (presumably by themselves in response to the auditor's report). I don't believe DCT has an agenda against either team but they do themselves no favours with shite like this.

I think it was upon hearing Dundee has been bombed. To be fair, I think Dundonains exaggerate his hatred for the city after his election defeat. He and his wife apparently enjoyed their time in the city, however, he refused freedom of the city! It's still a sore point and that's why, when ideas were being put forward for a person to build a statue in honour of, we have Desperate fkn Dan in the city centre!

Another quote: "..every bomb that falls on Scotland is one less for London"* The guy was witty but a poor politician- he finished FOURTH in local elections in Dundee. In first place was Edwyn Scrymgeour- a prohibitionist and at that time Dundee had more pubs per person than anywhere in Britain! He also lost the general election after leading Britain to its finest hour. *Not strictly what he said...replace "Scotland" with "Dundee"..but I figured using Scotland would sway more people to my way of thinking

I saw that the other day - really good. 8/10 also from me. You just want to punch Jodie Foster's character.

I watched a film made in the 70's called the Godfather the other night...wasnae bad. Seriously though, along with Part II it's a great story and always has me, despite their length, glued to the screen, mesmerised. I think that's the secret to their success. The plot is irrelevant, I mean, you need some idea of what is going on, but the films are really just about the development of the "family" over the years. It's actually quite sad to see the decline of the Corleone's family unit (depite them being murdering mafia scum!). Both films complement each other with the flashbacks in Part II a nice touch (I bet De Niro was cursing Brandos stupid bloody accent from Part 1 that he then has to replicate in Part II!). Part III quite rightly gets slagged, but then there was no need for this film and it had a lot to live up to and there is the time lag between II and III also which was always going to be difficult to overcome- Part III is a completely different kettle of fish. I still like it though, and it seems to ram home just how much, despite the wealth aquired, Pacino has failed to lead the Corleone family in an ever changing (under)world and live up to his father's teachings. 10/10 PS apologies if the films are covered elsewhere in this post!

I, shamefully, only got into Rebus in April and am working my way through the books. I'm up to Black & Blue. This is where Rankin comes of age IMO- looking forward to the second half of the series.

Yeah, I think his character was my favourite!

The Departed- up until 20mins before the end 9/10, including the ending 7/10. Some great actors doing what they do best but I thought the ending was a bit of an anti-climax.
