Just to clear things up, you philistine, Mr Bowie did not care how (hoe) people pronounced his name.
We had a music teacher called Mr Bowie - it never crossed anyone's mind that it would be pronounced in any other way than the right one. Thinking back, we missed an opportunity for much hilarity by not calling him David seeing as he was a music guy.

It was when I first went to university, at Abertay, in 2002. On the first day of classes we had an introduction session for our course, split in to groups I think, and we had to say our name, where we were from and our age.
When it came to me I gave my name and where I was from but said something about not saying my age (17 at the time incidentally), the implication being that I was just sooooo young.
This implication was only obvious to me however and everyone else there was either the same age or a year or two older. f**king minter and I must have seemed like a right bell.
My 17 year old self was a tit. First few weeks there were great mind (lots of firsts) but then after it fell apart quite horribly, which lead down a pretty dark road for a long time.
I think Throbber's spot on. I can remember a couple of crackers myself but I doubt others present remember - at least I hope not.
As an example, the only one I remember from somebody else was back in 2002 on my first day at Abertay...

Sadly it means nothing when a club 25 miles away won a league 60 years ago.
The league, not a league.
Just like a double, not the double.

Think they should change school start time to 6am and keep these people off the roads at peak times.
And while they're at it they can change Christmas to October when the shops are less busy.

I missed an "m", tbh.
That wee letter makes the world of difference though.
(I'm 59 and remember the 73 league cup win so you're out with that as well).

I'd imagine the majority of your support are under 55 tbh, and you'd have to be around that age to stand a chance of remembering your last major trophy win.
So, as I said, lehs.

Even by winning one major trophy we've seen more in our lifetimes than any of them will, never mind 3.

The sheer jealousy from Dundee fans here attempting to belittle St Johnstone’s achievement is very funny.
We would be doing the same with you lot if there was anything to belittle.

Championship and B&Q Cup would be far more impressive. Partly because you have to play more than 4 ties to win the Championship, but mainly because the B&Q Cup doesn't exist any more, but some club has bound to have done both in the same season, and I never heard any risible nonsense from them about "Doubles".
We should probably give them their moment in the sun as they've never won "The League" and, let's face it, never will.

That would make the plane lighter and much more fuel efficient so you wouldn't need as much.
But will the tender need a 2nd tender to fuel it? And that 2nd tender a 3rd...

Another question for Dundee locals. The wife and I are planning a weekend in London in February, and are looking at the various travel options. How long before a flight do you need to be at Dundee airport? She finishes work at 3, a 12 minute drive from the airport. The proposed flight is at 3:55, does that give us enough time, or is it too tight? I’ve never flown from Dundee, so I’ve no idea.
No idea but 12 minutes seems very specific - no chance it's 11 or 13?

You were right the first time. That's funny.
You'll be next on the headbutt list.
You'll need to wait for the scar to go, though.

Started off as people in the emergency services could get a discount at some places, 10/20% off depending on who accepted it. Didn't stop people in back office roles signing up either, but it's a commercial thing anyway.
Seems to be good moaning 'why should they get it' it's not coming out of their pockets so what's the grump?
I guess the point is it's an 'exclusive' scheme and not open to all so naturally those who aren't able to join feel disgruntled that others who they perceive don't really qualify can.

Mrs Coprolite likes to booby trap the garden so if i'm out playing "football" or "badminton" with the kids i'll almost always end up being struck behind the ear by a bird feeder and getting a load of niger seeds down my back.
Funnily enough (not actually funny) I headbutted the A/C bracket in our garden last night which resulted in a fair amount of blood, a headache and a nice scar.

Tough run of fixtures, that. Anything more than 6 points would probably be a good return.
Nah...every game is difficult but we need to be targeting 8 points from those 4 games if we have aspirations to repeat last season's top 6 finish.

If the club keep a hold of McCowan, do you think him and Cameron in the middle give you a good chance of not only solidifying top six, but even pushing on for Europe? Arguably one of the better pairings in the league.
27 minutes ago, alexbanks72 said:The way other teams are playing, Dundee have a head start. If they keep what they have/add a little bit of depth I doubt they'll miss out on Europe.
Cheers for the praise but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We were a baw hair from going 3-1 down in the derby and playing poorly so we are more than capable of dropping the ball. That said, If we'd been able to close out games last season we'd have been in Europe this season.
Top 6 is a big enough ask - Aberdeen looking like they'll challenge for a place and add in Killie and St M whose euro distractions will be over this week and it's going to be tough to get in that group. We've as much chance as Killie and St M I'd say and will reserve judgement on Aberdeen.
Still, thinking we'll be looking up rather than down which for Dundee is a rarity.

it wasn't our 1st game of the season. It wasn't even our 1st league game of the season.

This is probably only a question for people from Dundee. Looking at results on the Scottish Football Fixtures site I noticed this venue for yesterday’s Dundee West women. Downfield Pavilion / Charlotte Street Pitches,
Had a look at Google maps and is the pavilion part of what was the old Fairmuir Special School? Do the pitches extend onto what was the infectious diseases quarantine hospital (can’t remember it’s name) or was that a bit further up Macalpine Road almost opposite the crematorium?
I played football for Downfield under 9s to 15s - we played at School Road next to the old NBR station. Isn't that in the vicinity of where you're talking or are you much further into Downfield?

Football clubs know it can get a bit frosty at times so they put radiators under their grass to combat that.
Even I know it's chilly up behind the clouds, surely they should be making heated wings? I'll patent that idea if nobody's thought of it before and make my millions, ta.

Just the usual really. There was no chat after the Rangers game either.
It's probably also quite difficult to draw many sensible conclusions from those first two games.
If it's any consolation, Dundee is always a difficult game for you guys.

I'll show you that when you show me Dundees celebration of winning any double containing the 3 major trophies.
Cheers.
It was a great achievement, no doubt about that, but not a double. At least not the double. Just a notch above winning the Forfarshire Cup and a.n. other trophy IMO.
That said, must've been great to be there.
