  1. The young boy on whom Oor Wullie was based recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday in a Dundee nursing home. He has never received a penny in royalties from D.C. Thompson.
  2. http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/edinburgh-city/craig-beattie-helping-edinburgh-city-stay-up-one-of-my-best-moments-1-4427301
  3. Not just the soaps. On the news, English places are usually followed by the county they're in (except for big cities like Liverpool and the like). But places here are just labelled as being "in Scotland".
  4. Hats off to all the Berwick, Clyde and Cowdenbeath supporters who have come on here to congratulate City on reaching safety while their own teams are still at risk of the playoff spot. Shows that at this level of football fans of different clubs can still get along with each other - rivals but not enemies, unlike the arsecheeks.
  5. It consists of three items - the other two are a programme from the Berwick Rangers-Rangers game in 1967 (signed by Berwick keeper Jock Wallace) and the actual biscuit tin that held Celtic's cash in the 1980s.
  6. If you're planning on drinking that leave enough water for the fish to survive.
  7. Historians have discovered that Arbroath fielded an ineligible player in their 36-0 victory over Bon Accord in 1885. Consequently the game has been awarded to Bon Accord by a 3-0 scoreline and the original result will be removed from all the record books.
  8. Indeed, congratulations! It would definitely have been squeaky-bum time if it had gone down to the final day but now you can relax and enjoy the last two matches with no pressure. Next year, of course, you have the difficult second album season but confidence will be high and you won't be heading into the unknown.
  9. That happened to me once. I had actually got Mick Jagger in to clear it off the top before I cut the grass, but when he'd finished it looked as if he hadn't done a damn thing.
  10. If I was a shop assistant I'd be tempted to serve the person behind them, then when they complain tell them I didn't want to interrupt their conversation.
  11. White - black will show up the dandruff.
  12. Well, that's not how your original post came across so if you were doing it tongue-in-cheek then I was whooshed. No hard feelings?
  13. Tip for the Dundee polis - he's probably turned them the right way out by now so don't rule out people you see wearing their trousers properly.
  14. It wasn't you I was talking about, it was Bairnardo having a go at people ordering half pints.
  15. But he's still a nerd. Can't throw, can't catch - remember the basketball contest against Kripke?
  16. People who think they're hard just because they can drink a lot, and who sneer at those who prefer to limit their own alcohol intake.
  17. http://www.alloaadvertiser.com/news/15234909.Sauchie_man_waved_his_willy_around_in_a_busy_barber_shop/ He was drinking Buckfast. Says it all.
  18. But being Sheldon can't hit a cow on the arse with a banjo so nobody gets hurt.
