Dan Steele Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Although best known from Wayne's World, the line "and monkeys might fly out of my butt" was first used by the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz when the Flying Monkeys did, through trick editing, seem to fly out of her butt. The censors refused to allow it in the final cut and the scene was re-shot. Mike Myers used it to fine effect in Wayne's World as a nod to his favourite film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has more red squirrels than Suriname, Burkina Faso and Cambodia combined and almost as many grey squirrels as Mauritania, Paraguay and Lesotho combined. I learnt all this at the international squirrel convention in Kirkcaldy last year. I guess that is where you got your information too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 China, angry at being tarred with the Wuhan Flu, just announced that the Coronavirus started in Fife Scotland after attendees at a squirrel convention ate a live squirrel when the Munchie Boxes had run out at the local kebab shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The pointless dots around the letters in Dunfermline's club crest were initially stars to represent the five Fife Cups won at the time of design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is this logo suppose to be anyway? A house with lots of windows on one side but none on the other, that is taller than the mountains but not as tall as a tree and with some sort of tidal wave in front of it. Does that house actually exist anywhere in Dunfermline?Apparently at one time yes and it won the Ideal Homes Competition in 1933. Unfortunately it was destroyed during the war. No evidence of it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the tower is meant to represent Malcolm Canmore's royal tower (the ancient capital palace) and the sleepy hollow tree is meant to represent some kind of hanging tree around the Glen. Whether the latter is for Raith fans, Falkirk fans or both is beyond my knowledge. Eta: Quote https://www.dafc.co.uk/story.php?t=Club_Badge&ID=3639 The current Dunfermline Athletic badge was designed in 1957 by Dunfermline High School Art Teacher, Colin Dymock. The crest uses the lettering DAFC to represent the initials of the club name. Below the crest depicts the Malcolm Canmore Tower. The tower was adopted by the town of Dunfermline to be used for the Burgh Arms and old way seals. Malcolm Canmore was King of Scotland from 1057AD to 1093AD, and made his residence in Dunfermline within what is now Pittencrieff Park.The park is represented by the blue and black area behind the tower. The green area at the bottom of the crest is meant to represent East End Park. Quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunfermline_Athletic_F.C. The current Dunfermline Athletic club badge design was created in 1957 by Colin Dymock, an art teacher at Dunfermline High School. It was allegedly inspired by one of Dymock's mysterious nightmares.[20] The "DAFC" represents the initials of the club, Dunfermline Athletic Football Club, whilst the tower is a representation of Malcolm Canmore's Tower. The tower was adopted by the town of Dunfermline to be used for the Burgh Arms and old seals. Malcolm Canmore was King of Scotland from 1057 to 1093, and made his residence in Dunfermline within what is now Pittencrieff Park. The park is represented by the stormy, ghostly blue and black night scene behind the tower, including the park's infamous hanging tree. The green area at the bottom of the crest is meant to represent the club's stadium, East End Park. Whilst the badge has been in use since the 1950s, it has undergone a number of alterations since its original incarnation, with the most recent adjustments in 2011 altering the outlines, font and colours of the logo.

The closure of the Coop in 2014 did not deter him in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 A young Luka Zavaroni fell in love with Francesca Rossi in Genoa in the late 1930s. She did not find him at all sexy and spurned his advances. Distraught, he left Italy on a sailing ship that made it's way to the West Coast of Scotland. He left the boat and wandered aimlessly not knowing the language and repeating over and over, "Rossi, Rossi". Kind Ayrshire natives took him by oxen to Wemyss Bay and bought him a one way ticket to Rothesay where he immediately felt at home with all the wine drinkers and stray dogs. He opened a chip shop and fell for local lass Effie McMillan who he married in a ceremony down by the shelters on the esplanade. Close to the putting greens. Tourists arriving from a sail doon ra watter would marvel at how many delicacies he could deep fry including black pudding, pizza and Labrador puppies. He liked to go after work for a swift Grappa in the Athletic Bar on the Gallowgate. Several decades later their granddaughter Lena was born. The rest is history, as they say. Opportunity knocked. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 When Steve Jobs was growing up in Elgin he quite often spent his Saturday afternoons watching the games at Borough Briggs. At half time he would go up into the stand and discuss ways with the then Elgin chairman how to improve telecommunications around the world. They came up with an idea of a wire connected to a pc then to a telephone which could talk to another telephone and they could type on screen and it would be able to be sent to another telephone and then to another computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
