Scarlet Pimple

What makes the difference is fitness and spirit. So, whoever comes in, they must tie in to that ethic to succeed. If they are lazy they will require to change attitude or languish under Brewster (at least I think this ) on the bench or worse. :rolleyes02:

Mini condominiums-they are so large that you can live in them. :002:

Go suck a zube! Works. Alternatively I have found Neo Citran to be the best of the pain and fever reducers. And you will get a good sleep too. :003:

No snow here in Western Canada--just normal weather--rain. Not too cold though, the snow and ice and floods have mostly gone. Scotty I was up at 5a.m. to listen to this match so I am in complete empathy with your remarks. The ICT Board must be thinking.."why provide a service for overseas listeners, there is no money in it for us?" I can't help wondering why it is that when you leave home for foreign shores, sometimes for reasons beyond your own control, you become something akin to a pariah. Example" The British Government is the only Government in the world that does not annually uprate ex-patriates' overseas penioners' monthly pittance for inflation if you live in an ex-commonwealth country. Meaning? That some older pensioners are living on five pounds a week in Toronto! Well that's half-time over so now what --back to bed or stick around.? -think the latter is the preferred option---better half a loaf than none at all....eh? :023:

Blocked is the word. The BBC are putting out an online text messaging of the match as it develops --accessed from the BBC Sportsound site and this is updated every few minutes, but reading this can be tiresome. At least the scoreline is now mire respectable. Maybe ICT can claw their way back into the game.... :017:

Oh my! I hope this doesn't get out of hand. Do you work for Marks & Spencers by any chance lovey? :003: I think IHE has already been to my sis's place since the parcel man left the parcel on the doorstep--and fled. Do you think IHE and the Parcel Man arrived at the same time? :001: Maybe in the dark he mistook IHE's hairy erse for a doorstep Christmas tree and the tattoo thereon was the evil eye of the little yellow god (Omar Khayam 1066) : :015: FW--how are we doing--what more can we do to get him to respond I wonder Over to you....

:015:

Footballer's wife--and what would your package have contained dearie? If it would make IHE blush just email me the info. :001: Babe eh? Oh my! there is something really warm and fuzzy about you isn't there? Do you have money as well? :015: :004:

Now there's an offer. :003: Irresistible woman

Beware of the Ides of March and CMIB--he is as sharp as a tack. :002:

You widnae gie an auld lady a hert attack wid ye IHE? Och , I'm blushing, so ah am! Sorry IHE, a secret benefactoir gied me the name of a couple o' suppliers and the parcel has been made-up, despatched and duly delivered on time and in time. This site wins again. But thanks fer the thought IHE. If ah tells mah sister what ye said and she replies '"OOOH, I would love tae see the nice man" whit will ah tell her , pray? :016:

So he is not on the list for the Scotland Manager? :029: Yet? :016:

FW What I really like about you is that you are not really very down-to earth are you/ :015:

All noted Caley D. Thanks for that! S.P. :003:

Have I missed something? But where is Robbo these days--has he landed a job in Scotland?

This site is as busy as each poster wants to make it. Change for the sake of change is not always necessarily good. Iam not sure that introducing many more options will improve it --it will take up much more space and maybe the site will become just too convoluted and confusing. Current email is effective and fine for me -why get involved with Google any more than you have to ? Google is a big space drainer. If it aint broke don't fix it is a good motto always. My main goal would be to introduce anything that will speed up access to threads and one other very useful tool that I would love to be functioning would be to click on ''new posts since you last accessed the forum" and then be transported to the exact spot where you left off in each unread thread--thus avoiding having to troll through several pages of threads to find exactly the last post that you read in each thread so you can pick-up where you left off to contimnue reading that thread when you forget what day you were therebefore. Now that would be a time saver indeed, especially for those who spend a lot of time trying to read as many threads as possible. :022:

Well, you have got to hand it to Mee , always has a waspish reply (and often a very cutting and apt one), . So I am enjoying the repartee and glad that it is spat out upon others since S. P has had his share in the past...e,g. "Oh you are that old gent with the bald heid, are you?" :015: MEE and me seldom agree We often beg to differ But when the battleaxe gets her claymore oot Eh dinnae stop to banter It's easier to run like fun 'cos if she catches you it won"t be at a canter She'll hit you hard and knock yese doon And she'll mak yese wear the kilt like in Brigadoon With the intention to mak yese tak it off again real soon Aye, she's a hottie wiv a caustic mooth And a bonnie fechter tae boot So jist yese tell her yese dinna give a hoot Aboot her rabid viscious prattle Or she will melt yese and tak awa yer rattle Wha's like her ,oor Bonnie Mee Any mair o' the same and I will be forced tae leave the Caley park and aff tae see the Bully wee 'cos ah ken that even if she winds up yer girnin' guts she still loves wee old baldie Me, S.P. An as fer Sophia that sonsy spirited wean She's guid at holdin' her own,--you ken whit ah mean? She uses wirds like scythes and axes And probably is jist as guid at sending faxes A product of the puddin' race Her mind I'm sure as often as not is in outer space Teacher? Aye and preacher maybe If she had been a male ,then as well a flipping fiery fellow Jist holding forth with great glee and more than once a saucy bellow Quite a challenge and quite a handful But dinna worry, as she flirts wiv age she will no doubt mellow From twenty tae thirty four Thats four digits and half a score And her silver tongue may be no more. "Cos she may marry Johnny Come Lightly And she will be much kinder tae all of youse But ever so lightly, and only if yer aff the booze.

JB There was a recent thread about this with contributors from Canada such as Scotty, Canada Bob, Scarlet Himself and others. This thread contained a mine of information about more or less precisely what you were asking . The thread was started by Clacher Holiday so if you can't find it try sending Clacher an email , failing which I am sure one of the admins can & will assist you. Scandalously Private.

My sister is disabled and lives in Inverness. Last year I sent her a gift basket for Christmas supplied and delivered by a British Firm which was not domiciled in Inverness. She really appreciated it. I would, however, like an Inverness business to deliver a nice gift basket to her this year and would be most appreciative if anyone could supply me with the name and address and especially the telephone number of such a local business whom they feel would do a very nice job of preparing and delivering this gift to her. Thank you for your help :sillywave: from Vancouver.B.C. S.P.

Fer the uninitiated the Pimple "aint tellin". :016:

C M in Berks--you surpass yourself. Don't let this little bit of praise go tae yer heid , mun, but wasn't it you that nearly stopped the Pimple's heart by his laughing at your monologue about the Hydro or Telephone company in Berkshire? Undoubetdly one of the most determined,persistent ,vitriolic,castigating, angry,emphatic, withering , vituperative, magnificent assemblage of words against a major corporation that I have ever had the privilege of reading. If I could write like that I would soon be coming close to Mr Bannerman's literary capabilites fer sure. :022: Frank Kelly speaking, eh didn't know you had in in you mun....

:015:

Well I was wondering how any player or official can just tear up their contract and leave for another club at the drop of a hat? Seems very odd. :rolleyes02: As in the case of McLeish to Brum. In his case the SFA got over a million pounds though as I recall.

Buckett--I am not so well as I was 10 years ago , but still working. Next year is definitely when I retire from the grind so I have my sights on Inverness sooner or later in 2008. On different wavelengths years ago?--nah, we were just growing up thegither. Boyish enthusiasm and all that. :001: After a couple of pints with IHE we will be swearing undying love and affectation. Life is too short for anything else. :banana99:

Primarily as a reference to the Scarlet Pimpernel who was an English spy during the French Revolution and was distinctive for having the ability to evade detection--and capture. Something to do with Alexandre Dumas , the writer. "They seek him here, they seek him there, that damned elusive Pimpernel". Since scarlet is my favourite colour it seemed a good match not to mention the fact that the mystique of the Pimpernel, his love of a challenge, his life of risk and daring cloaked in a capacity to acquire vital information about people and things by being very observant is somewaht reminiscent of my own past life. One girl once opined to me on a hiking trip.."I think you like to live on the edge".. Unlike the Pimpernel ,however, Scarlet Pimple being a much younger descendant and therefore less experienced and more foolish got involved in several escapades and risky ventures in his past life which had less successful endings, the outcome of which is that he is now much older , much wiser , has old injuries coming back to haunt him, and on a more reflective note realises that life is actually very short... :023:
