Bully Wee Villa Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That reference is lost on me. I have been meaning to read Gilbert and Sullivan's Wikipedia page for a while though as they often come up in quizzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melody to "hail, hail" is borrowed from "With cat like tread" from Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Isn't Gilbert and Sullivan always camp? It's musical theatre! The Gilbert & Sullivan aficionados would insist it's "operetta" or light opera as opposed to "musical theatre" in a bid to persuade you that they're somehow more cultured than people who like the work of Andrew Lloyd WebberThe camp point still stands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dullard Bluteau Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 On 10/11/2016 at 18:30, Malcolm Malcolm said: I was at a pal's birthday thing recently and a lot of Rangers fans from Greenock were there and in the middle of a seemingly innocuous chat about football I got asked 'Who do you support really though, Celtic or Rangers?' which actually means 'Malcolm, are you a Proddy or a Tim?' 'I'm a Morton fan, I don't like Rangers or Celtic.' Scotland is utter shite sometimes Ironically the question should really be reversed because so many Old firm fans are not Glaswegians and very likely used to support their local team when younger. This was perhaps more pronounced a generation ago and certainly a couple of generations ago when transport etc was less available/reliable. It seems that to many OF fans, its beyond belief that someone could support a team outwith the duopoly. In a country that's largely secular nowadays, I find it hilarious to hear , for example, Celtic fans make reference to religious themes (the assumption being of course that RCs should all follow this team as a matter of course) and that if someone does not either support or like Celtic, they must by definition be for Rangers. This can work both ways although Rangers fans are usually more likely to accept if you support another team. I know this from experience as a Glaswegian who doesnt support my local team (albeit Saints are only a couple of miles away). I just read on a Celtic website that most of the posters seem to think that Steven Thompson is a Rangers fan (they refer to him as something else) when its well known , and he makes no bones about it, he is a Saints fan. Others in the media, quite a few of whom are Saints fans, have the same problem that by admitting to their preferred team, they are assumed to be "sitting on the fence". Well if its so hard for OF fans to digest, why do they think people spend money and valuable time watching and following another team when secretly they wish they were at Parkhead or ibrox ? No I cant work it out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I cant work it out either. I used to work with a lot of Celtic fans who used to regularly and annoyingly assume they were my big team simply because I talked to them about Scottish football quite a lot. I was recently out and about with some Aberdeen fans who, incredibly, defended the nonsense of people with no connection to Glasgow (or even Ireland/NI) 'supporting' the Old Firm for religious or glory hunting reasons.
