The Mantis

Maybe it's black till we get off the bottom.

Sound. From experience newspaper cuttings are not much cop for scanning, unless there's an interesting photo, but real photos, tickets etc are welcome any time.

Aye, his games in div 1 you mean!

[quote author=Alex MacLeod link=topic=4819.msg75044#msg75044 date=1189958086] Effectively Fort William coud play in europe under present system. Aye right Alex. They'll have to persuade Spartans to turn up with 9 men first :016:

I'd imagine loads of people will turn up just to say 'I was there' :023:

"Having to go to Tescos is enough to make me greet right enuff" Beat me to it there beachcomber :015: :015: :015: :015:

Never mind spelling- what about cliches. I mean, at the end of the day, it only gets dark, basically. Hopefully people will stop saying 'hopefully' too, basically. What about football managers/players who say 'we equipped ourselves well' because they once heard a brainy manager saying 'we acquitted ourselves well' and they want to copy him, basically. 'They set their stall out' - pure pish, basically. 'On the front foot' - more pish probably caused by somebody using it instead of 'on the back foot' for a joke, basically. 'Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory' - again, somebody once used this as a joke and thousands of dullards just repeat it without knowing what the **** they're talking about, basically. And what about Big Brother. What's the point of using a literary reference like that for a TV show title when 98% of its viewers probably think its about incest, basically

I'd take Elgin 6 times in the league anyday instead of the fixtures we've had.

I can confirm from my booklet that you're pretty spot on CaleyD. The stand was on the shore (SW) side, and the slaughterhouse would be just a few yards from the SE corner flag. The club spent their last few years in debt and their final season was in the 36-7 season in the North 2nd II league ( they last played in the HL in 34-5) when they went out with a flourish and beat Caley and Thistle on the way to winning the Inverness Charity Cup. After they disbanded there was talk of reforming the club, but the war came along, and after 1945 people had forgotten all about them. The booklet I have is about 28 pages, by George Campbell (b 1931) and printed and presumably published in Canada by Touchline Publications in 1990. At this time, Mr Campbell was living in Brantford, Ontario, and was involved in 'soccer' there.

Just wear it back to front. Or get the name and number down at your erse. :021:

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.
