  1. Dickie Davis presenting "World of Sport" on STV on Saturday afternoons, with REAL wrestling on at 4.00 featuring Mick McManus, Jackie Pallo, Kendo Nagasaki, Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy ( real name Shirley Crabtree). And commentator Kent Walton trying to sound surprised at every choreographed move....... Some sports never change, eh?
  2. .......and Green Shield's big rivals, S&H Pink Stamps. My part-time job in my last two years in school was as a petrol pump attendant at a Texaco petrol station in Greenock, and whenever somebody didn't want the stamps they'd earned filling up the stamps went home with me (plus as many more as I could get away with). Nothing much in the catalogue that appealed to me, so my mum got a very nice big rug out of it. Aged sixteen, and left from 6 pm till 10 pm in sole charge of a petrol station - unthinkable now. And those were the days when petrol pump attendants actually put the petrol in the car for you rather than hide in a nice warm office with glass screens to keep the punters from getting too close.
  3. I remember the commotion when Salt and Vinegar flavoured crisps came out - up till then there was only plain or cheese and onion. Nowadays it's Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar, Sun-Dried Tomato and Pesto, Strawberry and Onion or other poofy flavours. Life was easier when we only had Golden Wonder or Tudor Crisps to choose from. 3d for plain and 4d for flavoured. And Bazooka Joe bubble gum, with a little American comic strip that you couldn't make head nor tail of.
  4. I believe you. In those days, if yer maw caught you getting a chubby over a girl she'd slap your wrists, paint your boaby with Gentian Violet and lock you in the coal cellar for three weeks. And that was her on a GOOD day.
  5. Stone Roses, you say? Not a bad wee modern band - but the mighty Led Zeppelin still rule the roost. And, One Direction? One Dimension, more like. Musical chewing gum. (Edited for old fart's spelling mistake)
  6. Aye, he's been a very good acquisition - we could really do with holding on to him. Big Denny is becoming more useful, though we don't always play to his strengths and sometimes he looks like a player with a great third touch. IIRC Samuel is only here till January; I don't think we've seen the best of him yet and I hope we'll be able to extend the loan till May - it would probably be best for both clubs and for the player as he'll get much more first team football here than he would back home.
  7. I'm not going. I'm working. I'll watch the recording when I get home. For free. But yours would be a pretty poor attitude if it were from your club, and at that price that seems to be their thinking.
  8. Why, thank you!! We aim to please.It's a ridiculous amount of money to charge for a Scottish Championship match, mate. Especially one that is also available live on TV for free. That's why it deserves to be ridiculed.
  9. I think they price it with the thought processes of the locals in mind, ie "it's the same as two tenner bags"............
  10. Never used Facebook, never will. Life's too short - it's bad enough wasting time on P&B. Never twerped or read any twats on Twitter, either. Chewing gum for the eyes.
  11. When you're giving information to someone who'se filling in a form, and their response to every other answer you give them is "not a problem". I KNOW it's not a problem, and I couldn't care less if it was one anyway - just take the information down and shuttit!
  12. It surely is, actually. Two reasons for it: 1. He got plenty of opportunity to shine as it was backs-to-the-wall most of the season 2. He really was an exceptional player. Great anticipation, could tackle, hold the ball, distribute it well and organise those round about him. If only he'd carried a bit more of that awereness and organisational skill into his management career.....
  13. ^^^ If you found the post funny, no wonder you found the Royle Family funny.......
  14. no, not at all; if we'd gone up then we'd almost certainly have come straight back down. If I were going to be "seething" about anything (and I'm not, it's only fitba') it would be the abysmal happenings of the following season. But I'm not, 'cause like I said, it's only fitba'.
  15. You really thought that was a decent enough response to bother posting? 2/10 - must try harder! Now, put on the pointy hat with the big "D" on it and go and stand in the corner of that nice big grassy knoll of yours that used to be called "terracing".
  16. Yes, indeed he was - and well-deserved it was, too. So, when was the last time a Thissell player won sufficient respect from his peer group to win that award? That's right - NEVER.
  17. Oh, you think? The same number of fans at a game at Cappielow can provide a far better atmosphere than the luvvies would at Firhill. Maybe partly to do with the fact that our ground still has four (count 'em) useable sides.......??
  18. Frank Skinner - deeply ugly and deeply unfunny David Baddiel - Skinner's ex-partner and a smug, unfunny git Craig Hill - being a gay man in a kilt is not a hilarious gimmick Caroline Aherne - her Mrs Merton old lady shtick was funny for a short while but the Royle Family was pish and now she's reduced to doing voiceover work Karen Dunbar - gurning at the camera and having a nose like two-thirds of a bowling ball does not make you funny Honourable mentions to: Ricky Gervais Harry Hill Victoria Wood Jethro Russell bloody Brand Jack Whitehall Both "Little Britain" prats Allan Carr Vic Reeves
  19. You can just imagine Doctor Frankengreen at the time of the takeover; "Now, Sevco, you may be ugly but you have been created for a reason - to let me fill my Big Yorkshire Hands with all the assets i can plunder from you and Dedco before i get rumbled and have to get the hell out of Dodge sharpish And as a wee safeguard I've stitched a little something deep in your vitals that will serve as my "Get Out Of Jail Free" card if the rozzers ever catch up with me. What it costs you may prove to be terminal for you, my child, but by thenI won't care because I'll either be living it large in the South of France or sharing a cell with Igor, or my little Paki friend as I prefer to call him. MWAHAH HAH HAH HAAAAH................."
