BigBo10 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I knew the correct answer to that question. Just unfortunate I'm pish in the league and that makes it irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...I remember the first time I heard it was my older cousin (from Airdrie) having a wee packet of PK chewing gum and asking me if I wanted a chiclet...and that was probably in the late 60s. I should take this to the Blast from the Past thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckthearab Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Well gents, given that half the ties are completed and there's not many scores left to come I reckon a wee round up is in order.As mentioned earlier today the ties have been as close as I expected with not much between most of the pairings. So, first upThe_Kincardine v LivilionLivi struggling to get to grips in this match, everything seemed to go wrong. Kincy on the other hand came flying out of the traps and raced into a 6-3 lead at half time. Not much change second half and Kincy eased off slightly knowing the hard work was done. The_Kincardine (6+5) 11 v 6 (3+3) LivilionAlang1993 v LeedsSaintCracking game here with the winner taking it by a baw hair. Both came out all guns blazing giving little thought about defence. Nothing between the sides at half time, 5-5. No change second half with both sides still going for it. Both obviously keen to avoid the replay and left the back door open. Into the last minute and one team wanted it slightly more and managed to nick it before the whistle.Alang1993 (5+5) 10 v 11 (5+6) LeedsSaint Dee62v EednudAnother tight match with nothing in it. Eednuds finishing slightly better than Dee's at half time as he took a 5-4 lead into the second half. Dee came out strong in the second half and pegged Eednud back several times. Second half was tied at 5-5 going into the latter stages of the match but unfortunately Dee62 couldn't find the point needed to take it to a replay.Dee62 (4+5) 9 v 10 (5+5) EednudGman1985 v WelahbairnAnother tie where it was all out attack. First half see-sawed from end to end and not many chances were missed. Welshie managed to Nick a half time lead just on the whistle. No change second half and GMan tried valiantly to get back on level terms. This left the door open for Welshie on the break and despite Gmans best efforts it wasn't to be.Gman1985 (5+5) 10 v 12 (6+6) WeslhbairnAs I said only a few scores still to come in so I'll be back with another update fairly soon I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackislekillie Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 No...I remember the first time I heard it was my older cousin (from Airdrie) having a wee packet of PK chewing gum and asking me if I wanted a chiclet...and that was probably in the late 60s. I should take this to the Blast from the Past thread. PK! Now that is a blast from the past. I remember getting a packet of that every Saturday morning in the wee shop that was across from the old Kilmarnock Baths after a swim. The shop had a tin advertising board for Beech Nut gum as well. I've never heard gum referred to as chiclets though, and I'm bordering on oldcunthood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PK 'chiclets' used to wrapped in silver foil with a paper band wrapped round it. A quarter of midget gems used to be our post-baths sweetie of choice, though.

blackislekillie Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Shop sold them as well, as well as other sweeties out of jars. Now I'm wishing I could remember its name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
