Derry Pele Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Because the song is called “Gecko”, I didn’t realise Becky Hill was singing “Get close with the lights down low”. Thought she was telling us about some horny lizards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no wonder the boy couldn't find the place, nobody understood where he was looking for. Add to that, Edinburgh does this thing where they have two street names on the same street. There is Sciennes and Sciennes Rd. Built on this corner is Sienna Gardens. Delivery drivers and others always getting lost around there. There was a convent in the 16th Century dedicated to St Catherine of Siena in the area (hence St Catherine's Place) Siena got corrupted to Sciennes ("Sheens") by the locals over time. Siena Gardens is a fairly new street compared to surrounding streets and perhaps should have been called Sciennes Gardens (PTTGOYN w@nky developers who give new estate streets names that don't fit in with older streets round about). Now, you're a real Southsider if you can pronounce Montague Street correctly .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I must have watched this loads of times as a kid. Only when Nichelle Nichols died and they mentioned that they kept this ad-libbed line in the show did the penny drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 On a similar note to Paul Bearer, I only very recently worked out why Bret 'Hitman' Hart's finishing move was called the Sharpshooter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
