:33: I'll try The Florida Flakes ...and that may well kill this thread stone dead

You'd think they'd have learned after the Kansas Curly Wurlys franchise went belly up in the 1990s!

Thanks, TM4TJ...never succeeded online but found a bar with ESPN. It all got a bit hazy after midnight but what a show. Kept having to re-assure the local punters that it is summer in Scotland...

Old Git Memory Jogging Service....at your service :blah01:

A Scotsman is sitting in a bar in Cuba and is minding his business when a man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of rum. The bartender serves him, the man drinks the rum then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?" The man says, "Castro's Army." The bartender says, "Alright then." And the man leaves. A few minutes later another man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of rum. The bartender serves him, the man drinks the rum then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Pay up, Buddy" The man says, "I'm with Castro's Army." The bartender says, "Alright then." And the man leaves. The Scotsman gets an idea and walks up to the bar and orders a shot of rum. He drinks the rum then starts walking out the door. The bartender says, "Sir, your bill?" The Scotsman says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army." The bartender says, "And where is your big black beard?" The Scotsman thinks quickly. He lifts his kilt and says, "Secret Service."

Don't suppose any of you know where I can look to hear or see The Open on the web. Radio 5 looks like it's going to be 'down' for the next 4 days as they apparently don't have international webcast rights. :017: I've heard that it might be possible to ahem get TV (or Radio) coverage via the web. Any pointers or help welcome.

You're not related to Mel Gibson by any chance? CELTIC1CALEY3 : Sons of Sneck! I am CELTIC1CALEY3. ICT Fan: CELTIC1CALEY3 is seven feet tall! CELTIC1CALEY3: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the Old Firm with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. [laughs] CELTIC1CALEY3: I AM CELTIC1CALEY3! And I see a whole army of my city men, here, in defiance of bigotted weegie zealots and mercenary journeyman players. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you stand and fight? ICT Fan: Stand up...against that? No, we will be escorted from the arena with dignity by a steward if we do that! CELTIC1CALEY3: Aye, stand and you may be ejected, run, and you'll be in the Innes... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! :tic01: :tic01: :tic01: :tic01:

That's nothing! I used to know a girl in Dundee that could... :33:Moderator has requested that the author cease and desist

Chairman Mao famously said that every mouth was attached to 2 hands and was non-plussed by population expansion. In the cities nowadays couples are discouraged from more than one child...they get education, health and tax disincentives. However in the country, where physical labour is the difference between survival and starvation it is much much less a factor. Families will procreate until the son arrives or at least until there is enough bodies to till the soil. (Infanticide is widely acknowledged and suicide among desperate female adolescents is obscenely high.) The flip side that the govt. is now trying to tackle is the time-bomb consequence that the fastest expanding community in China is the barely literate peasant and farming classes. The one child policy is not filling the middle class jobs quickly enough to sustain this meteoric economy.

Biggest laugh I've had in ages....classic, priceless!

What, like a crop circle?

Answer A. It was created as a tribute to TV legend Dickie Davis...the man who truly modernised the beautiful game. B. Some jobsworth rule about players having to remain equidistant from the spot at a penalty kick C. It was Caley D's idea. Only TCS has it apparently.

Stop Press: Arce bulges net in 83rd minute... 2-2 ...good scrap this

Currently viewing Venezuela v Bolivia...I know, I know! Bolivian forward name of.....Arce Sounds like the the Chinese commentator has a bad dose of Tourettes: "ARSE ARSE ARSE.....Ohhhhh"

Hard to see past Bobby Mann...

Suggest you write to the SPL about it...ask them to postpone the start of the season for you. You never know, they've done dafter things. :tic01:

Part-timer! :023: Many congratulations Y and MrsY...make sure it's a forward, think we have enough cover in the middle and at the back.

Similar memories Mantis. Although in my case we were in a heap along with the orangeade and cheese n onion crisps... :023: Those end of season home nation games were nerve-wracking. It's not just in recent times that following Scotland has been a bowel moving adventure. The Scotsman managed one of its rare items of worthwhile reading on the topic http://sport.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=861292007 "Solid at the back, fluent in midfield and effective up front, MacLeod inherited a side from Willie Ormond which peaked in 1977. Had the World Cup been staged in odd years rather than even, then Ally's outlandish prediction that Scotland would win a medal in Argentina might even have come true. Although calamity on an unprecedented scale beckoned in 1978, the previous year was about as good as it ever got to follow Scotland. The midfield of Don Masson, Bruce Rioch and Asa Hartford was gifted enough to keep players of the calibre of Archie Gemmill and Lou Macari on the bench. Willie Johnston supplied the ingenuity of a coruscating winger on the left flank, while the partnership of Kenny Dalglish and Joe Jordan was among the most effective strike pairings fielded by Scotland in the past 30 years. At the back, Rough was a superlative shot-stopper in goal; Danny McGrain was the best full-back in the world; Gordon McQueen was a charismatic centre-half; and Tom Forsyth and Willie Donachie (Martin Buchan, Kenny Burns and Sandy Jardine were challengers for their places) always offered solid, reliable service."

Pizza Deliverance... outstanding!

Subjective description of 30% of the onfield activity never harmed my enjoyment of match reporting! :002: If only I could pick up the pen again Scotty... :009:

"The early goal in the second half changed the whole game. It was down to awful defending," manager Charlie Christie said. "It's a crux period for the club. I've been exceedingly loyal to players, but sometimes do wonder if we have enough quality." http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=421792007

Greetings all...so are we in chatroom or forum thread for info on the Jambos game?
