Andy Murray is piabetic and only plays tennis to keep his weight down and disguise the fact that his medical conditions means his daily diet includes 12 sausage rolls, 18 steak bakes and 34 scotch pies a day.

Dougie Viponds drumming was so bad that clydebank went bust.


Indeed much of Dougie Vipond's drumming on earlier Deacon Blue songs was actually performed by Arthur Montford.

Montford's early Scotsport scripts were written by legendary session drummer Hal Blaine, whose drumsticks were made from wood that came from the farm of Vipond's grandfather.
Who hated percussion in all its forms.

Facts you didn't make up for this pish..

Dougie Vipond lived (maybe still does?) in Culross. My mum was once in Culross on a school trip with her primary pupils. The school trip bumped into a film crew (filming The Little Vampire). Richard E Grant charmed them all and bought everyone ice creams.

The build-up to the chorus of the Toy Dolls' punk version of Nellie the Elephant (at 48 seconds into the video) came about after the lead singer heard Archie Macpherson commentating an Old Firm match.

In one of the Culross scenes, you can very vaguely hear some of the local Valleyfield youths shouting "Hugh Grant, ya f***in' fannyyyyyyy!!!" in the background.

Van Morrison & James Galway used to be in the same Flute Band.

Van was actually a semi-pro darts player but being deef in one ear, whilst in the spring of his darting career he misheard his mentor saying his shot was a fluke & thought he'd told him to take up the flute. That is how he ended up as 2nd flute too JG.

Likewise, The Alarm's re-released version of sixty eight guns was originally written to boost the English squad morale ahead of the 1968 Euros. Hurst and Charlton were given writing credit but Alan Mullery was the genius behind the football related lyrics. England missing out on a place in the final, ended the chances of the tune being released at the time.

Hmm, I call bullplop.

As they're Welsh, I think their fitba song was 'the spirit of 76', which clearly refers to the Panenka penalty and the fact england weren't there.
