Glen Scotia Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 4 hours ago, kingjoey said: I like Hampden, and I like going there to see Aberdeen and Scotland. Interesting on Saturday though getting our food pre match. Turnstiles opened at 11.00 and we were in about 11.30. Up to a not busy counter and asked for a hot dog, Hampden pies are shite, and a bovril. I could see the puzzlement on the girl's face. I said "bovril" three times and she eventually went away and came back with a wee Glaswegian lassie who showed her what a bovril was. Then she wandered about with the cup for about 30 seconds and came back to me. "No hot water. Will be 5 minutes." My friend was at the other end of the counter and when he asked a different person for his bovril she came back with a bottle of water. Obviously not a single second's training, and no hot water 30 minutes after gates open. Then the bloody screens went off after 10 minutes of the game for the remainder of the first half, so no idea how long had gone or was left. Not great. Apart from the game, which was magnificent. I bet she was trained up on taking payment from you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They originate from Orange, the city in the south of France, which is named after Arasuio, a local Celtic water god. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folk have bovril for their breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does have a massive 2000 year old Roman theatre thats really impressive and still functioning I wouldn’t go there specially but if you’re in Provence then it’s worth seeing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Turning up at 11.30 for a 12.30 k.o is mental behaviour. My da' is similar and can't get to matches too early. Bonkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrots used to be a purple colour but the Dutch bred them to be orange to celebrate their royal family. Carrots.
