Everyday is a school day eh? Grimbo Seems reasonable. It's a nice enough part of Fife, still Fife though. The statue is pretty lacklustre but he's obviously got quite an interesting story behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh cheers NJ, I'll have a look behind the statue now as well, it's this kind of inside knowledge you can't get anywhere else. Marvellous. Grimbo ETA yes it's a gag, I'm not that much of a thicko hit the red button if you think I'm a genius. hit the green button if you think I'm a thicko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I've read a biography of Alexander Selkirk that claimed that during the time Alexander Selkirk was marooned on Juan Fernandez Island, he shagged goats. She was absolutely insistent about this "fact", even though he was on his own on the island, so nobody was about to witness it. Now to be fair, if you're stuck on an island for years, you might be tempted to see what it's like, but you're hardly likely to tell everyone about it when you get home. Would you tell anyone?

Maybe he brought her back home with him & made an honest goat of her, did they have any kids? I bet they called the lad Billy, no imagination these herders eh? Lower Largo is Latin for goat shagger (according to Facts You Made Up pish). Grimbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieT1314 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Used to drink in there in it's former incarnation (or maybe the one before that?) not a big fan of the sign outside the door exclaiming how great they are for not selling Tennents and other generic brands. Fair enough selling decent varieties of booze but don't be a pretentious dick about it. Agreed, massively wanky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum_gers Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think we've a few insurance agents on here, so here goes. I pay my car insurance monthly, but I've got rid of my car, can I just cancel my direct debit? Will this have any effect on future premiums etc? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
