The Mantis

Just noticed Gringers' one too :001:

Never met the two Jags fanzine guys calling themselves 'young' and 'gifted' and wonder what happened to them. I remember old auntie Laurna in Culduthel Road getting hold of the issues for me (she saved all sorts of Highland football stuff for my visits to Sneck before the internet came along). She knew their mum and called them 'franzines' :015:

As I understand it, you're accusing CaleyD of wearing a truss?

http://www.btinternet.com/~jcmblair/Dr_ruth.jpg Nope! I see you fixed Denzil but there's this one http://www.caleythistleonline.com/communit...g74638#msg74638 and this one http://www.caleythistleonline.com/communit...g74391#msg74391

The last couple of days, I can't get quotes, links, photos etc to work. I've posted 3 to my knowledge that just display the HTML which doesn't appear (to me) to have any faults. I'm guessing that there's a setting for HTML that's been disabled?

Return of the King!!!!

[quote author=Kingsmills link=topic=4787.msg74600#msg74600 date=1189688833] An old joke but Mantis got there first. [url=http://www.caleythistleonline.com/community/index.php?topic=4785.msg74582#msg74582]Yeah sorry Lesley but I'm sitting there :blah01: Don, Scotty- how come every link or quote I do these days gets fecked up :017:

I see I said 'keep checking for updates' in 2003 :015: :015: :015: :015: The cartoons are easy enough to scan if I get the time. Words are a bit of a bother, used to have some OCR software somewhere....

I think it was 3 players with names about gambling. You must be confusing me with Naelifts and his 1 joke. The one about the banisters is the best :015: :015: :015: :015: What were the clubs anyway? Edit: Oh yes I remember, one was Arsenal, and the other was Ross ****ing County.

There was a bad guy in Lost in Space- they were always threatening to throw him overboard or whatever and he was like a sort of 1960s John Inman. His catchphrase was 'oh, the pain, the pain!' as he feigned a heart attack. Am I the only old git to remember this? Mind you, not as bad as Bannerman watching the radio

I actually agree so no burning from me anyway. The only bit I disagree with (and Chris too) is that I don't find it amusing when people who are paid high salaries are totally ignorant of the existence of any culture outside the SE of England. In particular I mean the good old BBC whether it's news, weather, sport quiz shows or whatever. We may only have 1/10 of the population but we have 1/3 of the whole UK land mass and pay the same licence fee. So we're entitled to (gently) point it out when they get it wrong.

Its there, on the back, I spotted it and its gonna be covered by a number :004: Feck me, I must have had a hard day at work yesterday :029:

I can't see my name on there at all.

This is a load of pish! I think I'll abuse my powers and delete it :015: :015: :015:

I read somewhere that the France v Argentina game had no build-up. Instead they talked at length about the upcoming England-USA game and then 'Oh sorry, we interrupt this to bring you France against some other country'. Sorry to return to an old theme, but the basic problem is, we are forced to listen to a London-based media who are enthusiastic about another nation. English viewers are NEVER forced to listen to us. Scottish commentators never broadcast to the whole UK, so arrogance, bias etc of Scottish pundits is irrelevant.

I don't see anybody claiming we'll beat France apart from a couple of the younger posters on here. The general mood amongst our media is that we can scrape a draw (personally I think it'll be about 3-0). The fact is we punch above our weight in the rankings for a nation of 5 million, apart from when Berti was in charge and we managed to punch below our weight.. England consistently fail when measured against nations of similar size, e.g. Germany, Italy, and even much smaller nations such as Portugal and Netherlands.

I set that up but thought nobody would tap it in :clapping03:

You obviously stood at the other end though :004: I stood at both ends but there was a substantally better atmosphere and view from the Howden End. I'm glad to see that you know your Telford Street geography ! :sillywave: Yep, and sampled the product on a few occasions too :drunk01:

What, for saying the Fort have a mountain to climb? So you reckon Spartans is just a molehill then?

That's it over. 0-0.

The home fans have just been finding out what away fans at VP have put up with for years. The away toilet facilities were rubbish too any time we've been there.

Thistle all end in tears you know :019:

Drawing you mean. Ukraine were winning with a minute left- as good as a defeat though. Goalless at half time in Milan :021:

Anybody remember the ad (Tennents?) with the guy in London who chucks his briefcase in the bin and comes back to Scotland? All to the strains of Frankie Miller and 'Caledonia'.

I think if it's your first season he buys you a drink every week.
