tarapoa Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I never realised the Fiction Factory were from Perth - the song at the end covering it educated me on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) FWIW, a (then student) friend of mine 'got off' with a vastly older band member from Fiction Factory, in a manner that possibly inspired the IT Crowd episode in which Jen goes out with the guy just because he's in a band. It became (and still is) a running joke with us, and that unmistakable four note opening to Feels Like Heaven was ideal for dropping into playlists, ring tones etc to wind her up when we stayed together. Had a wee chuckle to myself as soon as it kicked off LMW. Edited February 28, 2021 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Raised a chuckle and quite funny hearing Danny Lennon speak about missing the cup final after being crocked by “a wee boy from Linlithgow”. The wee boy in question was my cousin’s best mate, ex Raith youngster and ex Linlithgow Rose player Mark Quinn. Back at the time he was getting loads of stick because he was a Celtic fan but was also proper sheepish because he’d crocked his club’s star player before their big game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Feels like heaven was an excellent song & ticked all the boxes for '80s music video bingo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I follow a Scottish Premiership players Twitter account that’s going through all the players to have played in the SPL/premiership since 1998. Some of the players, especially from Hamilton, I have no recollection of at all. It would be quite a good feature if they all had to guess if players are real or not or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow that too just to try and remember who County signed in their terrible summer transfer windows, and then who they signed to correct it in their January transfer windows. I genuinely can not remember anything about some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's @craigkillie's doing. They've done something like that on the podcast before where its something like is x player from Albion Rovers or the Rovers Return? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, have they not done a similar one for Queen's Park players or band frontmen? The curveball being James Allan who both player for QP and is lead singer of Glasvegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me - the quiz was "Queen's Park or King Tut's" - everyone on the list had either played for Queen's Park or performed at King Tut's. This was a spin-off from Gary Cocker's long running "Academic or Academical", where it was either Hamilton players or academics at UK universities. I think there was a "Brechin City or River City" at one point too, and maybe at least one other? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevco or Serco - has person x been some jobber or lackey during the banter years or some executive at Serco. Celtic or Selleck - has person x played for Celtic or starred alongside 80's heartthrob Tom Selleck. Partick Thistle or Plastic Whistle - has person x played for Partick Thistle or been a referee in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Fair enjoyed that, AVFTT and whatever game Hibs are playing are the only 2 things I really make any effort to watch during these horrid times, one of the few things that bring enjoyment and laughs in these utterly miserable times, keep it up lads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Good afternoon, this is just a polite reminder to say A View from the Terrace is on the BBC Scotland channel @ 10:30pm this evening. Tonight's show features a confetti cannon, some mirth, and a special guest appearance from the legendary Jackie McNamara. Miss it at your peril! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 You’ve done confetti cannons. Why not move onto pyrotechnics. A few red flares would be good. I’ll catch up with Jackie Ratnamara - © some other punter on here - in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
