BillyAnchor Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Alloa was founded by a Hawaiian, Koa Haluunamatatuuanu, who arrived one July in Scotland and finding Port Glasgow a bit too violent and also Baltic headed east to settle in Clackmanninshire. He felt the natives would lap up his pineapple on a pizza idea especially after closing time. Many flocked to his shop and a village was founded. He was asked to name the new settlement but after a night on the Skol he wasn't easy to understand so his continual mumbling of 'aloha' to those he encountered was misconstrued and wee Joe Doyle wrote the new charter with his best guess at the spelling. The pizza shop flourished until kebabs arrived in the area in the late 2000's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The Dolfijn class submarines of the Royal Netherlands Navy were actually the hollowed out carcasses of pilot whales with their mouths sewed shut, a periscope fitted to the blow hole and a shaft turned propeller protruding from the anus. Crews complained that the vessels were cramped and smelly. The Royal Netherlands Navy finally decommissioned the Dolfijn class in 1982 after Chrissie Hyde publicly defecated in Groningen town square holding a placard stating 'Sailing about in dead whales brings shame on the Land of Tulips. Fucking stop it now. New single 'Back On The Chain Gang' released September 24th' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows the top players to get twice as much game time from a small league, double the chance of them winning a league title and get weekends off to watch mainland-mainland football. Whenever Spurs play Thistle, the best XI play for whichever team is highest up the league table at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) In 1524, Nostradamus predicted that Scotland would benefit massively from three controversial VAR calls at the Euros of 2021. Of course, his ramblings were discounted at the time, as everyone knows the Euros are played on even years - the fucking idiot.

Dan Steele Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) It's commonly accepted that the logo of Ronnie Dio's heavy metal band Dio when turned upside down reads, depending on who you believe, Die or Devil. In fact it reads as FiFi and is a heart warming nod to his favourite pet, a giant poodle. Neither Ronnie nor FiFi are/were involved in Satanic messaging.
