You're not an LED salesman are you?

There has been a lot of effort made by St Mirren fans to the “NorthBank” in the West Stand over the last few weeks. These images don’t show the impact it has had. Outstanding effort by all concerned. Some of the old photos were rescued from the hospitality suite when they were supposedly heading to the local dump. The hall of fame images have been in place for years, but now the fans have added their stamp on the ground and there are further improvements planned. Well done everyone involved!

CONGRATULATIONS JUSTONECORNETTO! He's been playing for as long as I've been running this and probably longer and finally, he gets a win. 766 points from 10 hits is some return. He beat's alta-pete's points record by just 6 points, so it's certainly been a year for the record books. Just don't follow it up with a year like Pete's and you'll be fine - @JustOneCornetto In second place is @Indale Winton, another long-term player who puts in a fantastic performance that I would be absolutely furious to not win with. Better luck next year chief. I'd tag Bishop Briggs but I can't. He was in the lead for months then Pele ruined it all. I have no idea if he's back or not, but it was still a great year from a former winner. As ever, my thanks and apologies to everyone else playing this year. I feel as if I've not made too many mistakes or misses this year, but I await Aim Here correcting me in a few minutes. From my point of view, we're never going to have a year where Pele and The Pope die in the final week of the year, so it's never going to be this busy to close out the game again. If you're playing in 2023 then good luck, if you're gone then hurry back, and if you forgot then... where are your priorities, really?

Week 53 update Forgive me if I'm not as effusive as I should be. First death this week was a guy who played in a farmer's league in the 60s: Pelé dies aged 82: tributes paid to a football great | Pelé | The Guardian Pele died at 82 so he's worth 43 Base Points which is doubled for Deadly December - minimum 86 for everyone. Regular (86) - @Arabdownunder, @Arbroathlegend36-0, @ayrunitedfw, @Bert Raccoon, @Billy Jean King, @Bully Wee Villa, @Desp @DG.Roma, @doulikefish, @Duszek, @Eednud, @Enigma, @Fuctifano, @Indale Winton, @jimbaxters, @JustOneCornetto, @Lex, @psv_killie, @pub car king, @Sergeant Wilson, @sleazy, @statts1976uk, @The_Craig, @The Hologram, @TxRover, @weirdcal Captain (129) - @dagane, @djchapsticks, @Lofarl ================ Second death this week and final death of 2022 was the first retired Pope in several centuries: Pope Benedict XVI obituary | Catholicism | The Guardian He died at 95 so he's worth 30 Base Points - doubled to 60 for Deadly December and an extra 25 for Last Gasp for a total of 85 points. @Arabdownunder, @doulikefish, @microdave, @nessies long lost ghost, @Oystercatcher, @The DA and @ThomCat ================ And now, the customary check where I see if I've missed any deaths. Just one I think, Spurs player Maurice Norman: Maurice Norman obituary | Tottenham Hotspur | The Guardian 37 points and a Solo Shot. 87. After all of that, the final standings look like this: 1.

This spat very much reminds me of HB v Supras back in the day that made this part of the forum unreadable. As such Pep and Supras sorry Satoshi can have a couple of days off to give us all peace and when they come back they can take their "debate" to PM and let other users enjoy the board. Thankyou

Thanks for all the kind words. All my effort and searching around the web paid off by picking the right combination of some obscure picks along with a high scoring Captain and special mention to Pele who was hit no. 10 for me which secured the league title right at the death. Thanks to everyone making it a great competition and once again thanks to @Miguel Sanchez for doing such a splendid job in running the Deadpool. PS I have no intention of giving up the title easily and have started 2023 with my 1st hit, also my Vice Captain, Frank McGarvey

I hope 2023 is swell for you, and I wish you and your families health and happiness for the coming year and beyond. I don't "celebrate" hogmanay and do not drink. I am currently picking at a takeaway and watching random films on Netflix. Already watched The Departed and Layer Cake. Currently watching Taxi Driver. Have a tip-top time whatever you are doing tonight. Best wishes, Jamie xxxxx

It's quite literally a bottle of flat Lucozade. People, mainly kids, are being scammed into buying this shite by the same two YouTubers who started the equally scammy YouTube boxing garbage and the same crowd who'll shell out to watch two YT personalities pretending they hate each other and have a fight. It's honestly fucking predatory. The fact that parents enable and further validate this garbage by going into supermarkets and jostling and fighting with each other over bottles of b*****d flavoured water or going to other sellers who'll flog a £1.50 bottle for £20 instead of doing the right thing, seeing it for what it is, ignoring it and allowing the venture to crash in failure is thoroughly depressing. Every time something like this happens, I realise more and more that it's truly a race to the bottom. Felt the same during the Black Friday thing a few years back when folk were knocking shades out of one another for a couple of quid off tellys they didn't need and then the panic buying spates of things like toilet roll and pasta that have happened since covid.

It was Steven’s (aka @Jimi Shandrix) funeral yesterday. He chose the predictably wonderful music himself, and I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to know that the Pie and Bovril forum got a mention at the service as being a passion of his and a great source of strength to him. I’m collating all your messages to pass on to his family. Thank you so, so much for all of them. Happy new year to all of you. Alan x

Farewell 2022 tables although it's already hello 2023 for me. In the Pfizer @Salvo Montalbano is the champion for the 13th time but a play-off is require for 2nd place between @Bully Wee Villa and @Insert Amusing Pseudonym At the bottom down go @Ronaldo Jeremy @gkneil and @scottsdad with @Geaky in the play-off. Last of the 2022 Wannabe's are @Helpma winning title no. 12, @Eednud and @peasy23 with @JustOneCornetto in the big time play-off and @pleslie99 in the seaside play-off but down go @Ross. @The Captain and @ArmadaleKillie Welcoming 2023 as new Wannabe's are @German Jag with his 3rd bucket and spade @TxRover and @specsaver with @BigBo10 in the play-off. The last wooden spoon for 2022 and his 2nd goes to @senorsoupe Hope you all have/had a great New Year and look forward to more of this, except @SlipperyP doing the admin in 2023. Happy New Year quizzers.

Old Lang Sign

@senorsoupe And a Happy New Year to a' the quizzers!

That’s quite sad, and sums up a lot of what is wrong with Scottish fitba.

That money won't launder itself.

I'll close the voting here with my top 10. Apocalypse Now 2001 A Space Odyssey Once Upon A Time In America Dr Strangelove Blade Runner Mulholland Drive Battle of Algiers Aguirre Wrath of God Taxi Driver Jaws Just under 400 films were nominated, thanks to everyone that took part, especially those who post in the main film thread which was the inspiration for this poll. In particular the posters who really put a bit of thought behind the reviews, the likes of @Detournement @accies1874 @MSU plus others. Also thanks to @JustOneCornetto for providing the top 50 from 10 years ago. Countdown begins shortly.

For me, amongst several highlights, one stands out. Keanu Baccus becoming the first St Mirren player to appear in a World Cup finals. To feature in all their games, to get out the group, and to hold his own against Argentina.

This walrus gets my vote as having the happiest new year...

On a personal level, great. I got promoted at work, something I’ve worked for since 2015. Otherwise, I’ve seen two friends have been killed and I’ve seen many friends suffer more than anyone deserves to through war. It breaks my heart that this is happening. 2023 will bring Ukraine’s victory, it’s my only wish. I hope everyone has a good year and their wishes come true.

Happy new year to all the good guys of P&B.

I will never, ever get used to the idea of sensible recruitment in areas that need strengthening, underpinned by a clear strategy.

I know there's a thread but terribly sad news about Frank McGarvey passing. Guy was a rarity in that he achieved legendary status playing for two Scottish clubs.

Happy New Year to all

Happy New Year, my Dee friends. I am looking forward to this one.

Happy new year Dees! Hopefully this turns out a successful one!

Mon the fucking Bairns x

Happy New Year a'body!! Lang may yer lums reek!!

First for 2023

I am up to date. 124 entries which I'm pretty sure is a record in the five years I've been running it. I know there's more to come too.

The Cowshed at Cappielow in 1995, back when there was a segregation fence and away fans got a large chunk of it. By 2000 the new chairman had done this to it, despite promising us a new all-seater Cowshed. And here it is now.

Big f**k off to anyone East of Dobbies.

Someone, Somewhere, is looking out for you.

The countdown of P&B's Top 100 Films begins here...

Going with the spreadsheet era of Dead Pool (i.e. 2019 and onwards, when the spreadsheets were made public), the current immortal is Jimmy Carter with a cumulative 102 picks since 2019. Here's the top ten: Immortal Picks Jimmy Carter 102 Linda Nolan 93 Billy Connolly 80 Bobby Charlton 57 George Alagiah 57 Paul Gascoigne 53 Shannen Doherty 53 Rolf Harris 52 Rob Burrow 49 Dick van Dyke 48

Bishop Briggs will be fucking raging. Pleasing

Your calling for someone to be put out the door because of a transfer rumour on the 1st day of a new transfer window, but you of course don't have an agenda, aye OK.

I wish they'd kept going.

My team provided literally no football highlights in 2022.

Just wanted to jump on and wish all fellow 'Well fans a Happy New Year and hope everyone's having a great night Fingers crossed we vastly improve in form this year.

One town, one team, two bins

Not really worth mentioning, we always beat Hearts when it matters.

I was going to stick this in the appropriate thread but it might be an unpopular opinion; Accepting an Honour such as a K or an OBE is a calling card of a moron

Have a good New Year when it comes cunto’s. Thank you x

Happy new year to everyone anywhere east of Hamilton specifically.

When you say mint you mean like a mint aero?

Anybody who queues for or buys 'prime' energy drink for an exuberant amount of money because KSI and Logan Paul have decided to take a batch of Vitamin Water and stick it in a new shit looking bottle needs their head and hard drive thoroughly checked. What a fucking society.

You're a fairly new poster, this thread isn't really a debate space for why depression is on the rise. While I'm not for a moment saying it isn't a worthwhile discussion, this isn't the thread. It's a safe space for people to post and gain support from other members of the forum. It's free from the usual gentle piss takes and banter from elsewhere on the board.
