Tommy Nooka Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 We had our big switch on at the weekend. They don't half kick the arse out of these things, the event in Giffnock ran from 13.00-18.00 and there was feck all there. I don't see the point in setting up a 5 hour event with about 45 minutes worth of 'entertainment' for a button press that takes all of 20 seconds including the countdown. The lights were turned on by the 'stars' of STV Glasgow, Jennifer Reoch and David Farrell. Jennifer was very easy on the eye but the fireworks were a bit of a damp squib! I put on a better show for bonfire night last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew criminal group didn't sound right. Thanks for re-introducing them to my ears again recently. The beats on I had to serve you are so crisp. My car stereo can't cope with some of the bass these days some of these hip hop people use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think The Badman Is Robbin on full blast was the final straw for my next door neighbour. They swapped houses with someone a few doors up and said they couldn't handle the music coming out of our house. Not once did they ask me to turn it down. Weirdos.

I hate Perth Council probably as much as the music they're into. Coincidentally a colleague of mine visited Perth Council recently for work and for some reason they decided to get a lot of stuff off their chest about political correctness and diversity quotas etc. Might have been because he's a 'brown person' right enough, probably the only one they could find to vent their spleen at in Perth. Sound like a right lovely bunch, they'll probably have kittens when they see what Fleur East looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Stirling is indeed having Stevie McCrorie as well. No qualms with that to be honest, local lad and minor celebrity. Can actually sing as well which is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Listening to the radio, it sounds like the usual x-factor wankers doing the light switch ons around Scotland again this year. Last year Falkirk done the right thing by running a schools competition and got a young kid to turn the lights on with the hottest burd I've ever seen dressed as that Frozen burd Anna. Hopefully they do the same this year! ETA Found last years video That's Elsa, Anna is the ginger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to this dubiously sourced* list here anyway: http://www.findmeagift.co.uk/topics/christmas-lights-switch-on#Scotland He's doing a tour of the Forth Valley, it would seem. That's the kind of pish we always end up with, but you'd like to think Stirling could've attracted something a bit less Z-list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Surely it would be more accurate to say he was born for that purpose? As Easter is about his death, not Christmas. (Not that I believe any of it, though obviously Santa and the Easter Bunny are real). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
