He is perhaps trying to affect faux working class credentials , like, you know , refering to 'ma heid' rather than 'my head'. Like you, I wish people wouldn't do it but ah'm no gonnae bust ma coupon o'er it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Having panned the show overall, I feel compelled to give Tam Cowan credit for his shift in Lossie last week. Two full hours, and he was hilarious. Wasn't really sure what to expect from him as a speaker but he was terrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that does grate on my gentle Edinburgh ears is Tam's pronunciation of "Shandon". He pronounces it almost like two words meaning a rotten Aberdeen fan. In the unlikely event I'm ever on the show I shall be pronouncing "Motherwell" as "Shi Teh Ole" to teach him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AberhillEnd Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I usually have a friendly bet with my mates on how long it'll take after we switch on that we hear the word Motherwell or St Johnstone. Regardless when we switch on its usually under a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you on about? It's a description of his son and is used right across Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Aye, folk calling their kid 'the wee man' is common across the country. It's not just a west coast thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down, calm down, you are allowed to have a different opinion from me without losing it. I bet there's a few things that you don't like that don't bother me. Like Saintees signing Andy Considine for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hope somebody suggests "Annie I'm not your daddy" for a Father's Day tune. One for referees: "Strangers in the night" One for Fifers "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an unusual format but if they wanted to talk to him that was the way to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
