  1. I was an occasional poster on Scottish Fitba Mad. There were a few belters on there that would be binned immediately these days.
  2. The oversized "look at me" ones in the 1970s. There must have been a pivotal Emporer's New Clothes moment that made folk think, Christ we look ridiculous. Bit liked flared breeks.
  3. What if you fancy a potato and bean pie and chocolate éclair, or need a haircut?
  4. I am five years older than The Rangers. Ancient as f**k
  5. What was the turning point when car owners in the US realised that their motors looked absolutely ridiculous?
  6. Depends on the John Candy film. Uncle Buck was a bit shite
  7. Second hand bookshops are brilliant. There used to be one called Big Bairn Books in Exchange Street in Dundee. Sadly gone now.
  8. Good effort, cooking a dinner between these two events.
  9. It was certainly open in 1983 when I became the proud owner of a pair of burgundy staypresses
  10. I had to Google Prime there. Anyway, have a good one a'body!
  11. If you walked up Leven High Street in the 1970s you had a draper then Williamson's the arcade (with a brilliant toy department), butchers (still there) on the left. On the right was a fishmonger (still there - although don't be expecting anything more exotic than smoked haddock), Woolworths, Galloway's Mens outfitters, Boots, Deas the bakers, John Menzies. Back on the left there was Cummings clothing store, Walker's electrical shop that started hiring VHS and Betamax tapes a few years later with, I'm told, some naughty ones under the counter, a couple of banks, a couple of pubs (still there), Ladbrokes, Victoria Wine, Lightbody's the bakers, across the road was the Caledonian Hotel, which is still there. There were more wee shops that I've forgotten about. It was pedestrianised sometime the following decade, which was a good move in my opinion, but every time I return more and more car wankers are flagrantly ignoring this, which irks me greatly.
  12. Tempted to say Christmas caird pish. But I like a bit of Christmas caird pish.
  13. Can anyone recommend bread sauce with turkey? I've never done it. Too much if already serving up gravy and cranberry sauce?
  14. I think Patrick Harvie does. And Pope Francis, although he doesn't quite fall into any of these categories. Edit: Pope Francis is probably famous, and his primary mode of transport is wheelchair these days, although he was renowned for using public transport until recently.
  15. Big Shirley Bassey is on the telly now. Looking great for her age
  16. Have you considered Lidl in Leven? Wee bit of a detour, but the roadworks on the Bawbee Brig have been lifted.
