Dan Steele Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Thomas Running, one time station master at Freuchie station, died while sweeping leaves off the track to keep the trains running. Ironically, they were the right kind of leaves and he was clipped by the 21.45 train. He's buried where they found him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 16 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: Luton-based easyJet's orange branding was based on Luton Town's shirt colours. Nonsense. The company owner once spoke about the time his parents took him on a memorable trip to Glasgow where he went around and around and around and around on the Glasgow Underground until he got really dizzy and had to stop. The planes are a homage to that childhood memory that he has never forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 In a surprise move, Suella Braverman has admitted her political posturing and ranting has been misguided and as from Friday is joining a Carmelite convent where she will be in charge of the organic garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she'll have much success in gardening. Pretty sure I've heard multiple people calling her a despicable, useless hoe'er. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Following the expiration of his BBC contract in 2001, Otis the Aardvark (born Brian McPhail) retrained as a tyre fitter, serving 3 years in Kwik Fit before opening his own garage and MOT station in Forfar. He has made sporadic appearances on quiz shows in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The Jonas Brothers are not brothers at all. Joe Jonas is the only actual Jonas. He paid his gardeners to get plastic surgery to look a bit like him, and the band was created. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 "In early 2001, Otis the Aardvark was contacted by Guns N' Roses leader Axl Rose, to contribute a spoken word piece for an as yet unreleased song from the Chinese Democracy sessions. He spoke of getting on well with their avant-garde guitarist Buckethead." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 "At times during his BBC heyday, Otis' behaviour drew the ire of the British tabloid press. His friendships with East 17 frontman Brian Harvey and controversial former TV host John Leslie were criticised as being inappropriate for someone working in children's entertainment." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Otis is a little known fan of soul music, owning extensive discographies from John Lee Hooker and Otis Redding (from whom his stage name was inspired). He is also an accomplished jazz bassoonist, striking an unlikely friendship with the late Jeff Beck following a chance meeting on the Jools Holland show. The pair were reportedly working on an ambient fusion project shortly before Beck's passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Otis once narrowly avoided prosecution when it was alleged that he took a Chomp and a Curly Wurly without paying, from RS McColl in Rosyth in 2008. He explained that it was a simple lack of concentration and returned to the shop after being pulled over by Fife Constabulary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
