  1. Well Subbuteo obviously........... But also Lego and Meccano. Airfix models that my ma had to dust, and she always broke bits off them. Airfix had a Lego substitute called 'Betta Builda'. Does anybody remember these wee plastic submarines where you had to put some baking soda in them?
  2. Stornoway. Freshly made, quite cheap and enough fish to choke a horse, mind you never seen a horse eating fish. Aberfoyle has an absolute stoater. Guy says he gets his fish from Iceland (the country not the shop) if that makes any difference. Scotty, the one up the hill in Pitlochry is called 'The Plaice to be' or some other terribly witty name. The other one in the main street takes ages and gives you loads of wasteful cardboard packaging. Plus the fish is small enough to fit in the box.

    Is the Old Bridge Inn the place just around the corner on the road to Coylumbridge? I had a feed there a couple of years ago and I thought it was all right. They had to squeeze us in too, they were very busy.
  4. This is an old one. Scholes says to Beckham 'look Becks, Fergie always leaves the training ground at 11 o'clock. We're supposed to train till 12. If we watch for his car leaving, we can bunk off training at 5 past 11.' Becks agrees to try this. The first day he gets home earlier than usual, goes upstairs, and just catches sight in the bedroom mirror of Fergie and Posh hard at it on the bed. He sneaks out before they see him and says nothing. Next day Scholesy asks him if he wants to bunk off early again. Becks replies 'feck off, I nearly got caught yesterday'.
  5. You forgot that fecker Harvey, ex-£ivi and Calder-puncher
  6. Thought the UK was England more like :015: :015: :015:
  7. Feck me Hairy, you're losing your touch. There was me thinking your first post was a brilliant wind-up and TJE had bought it too :014:
  8. We were plagued by a snecky maroon squirrel last summer, wee fecker was gnawing away at everybody's ankles. IHE shot him and he ran away squealing with his tail between his legs, it was almost as big as Keogh.
  9. Yeah the Cologne game's what I meant.
  10. Of course I was running backwards you fool, Mrs Mantis had post-coitally bitten off my head and I was having trouble seeing. That's the reason why athletes nowadays are not allowed sexual congress before races. Apparently Mr Hitler made an excuse and left so he could avoid presenting medals to Mr Owens. Without recourse to Wikipedia, the shoe guy was called Adi Dassler. Maybe. Puma was set up by his brother. Maybe.
  11. Andrews will be away anyway. He's not French! That must have been Darren's twin brother who played for us, couldn't hit a coo on the erse wi a banjo.
  12. :021: Thanks for the tip. I was assuming it was you hence the reference. Mind you I still don't understand-it wasn't upsetting my forum width.
  13. The Urq played in the European Cup v Cologne (1 + 1s) in 78-9 and against Valencia (2 apps) in the ECWC in 79-80. He didn't score against any of them. He left the club in Nov 80- Rangers didn't play Porto till Oct 83.
  14. Aye, I see what you mean rite enaff..... it was an even bigger toilet seat last night but it's been edited from CaleyD size to normal erse size :015: :015: :015: :015: I see it's restricted on here but normal size if you load it in a new window- 'ow do they do that then? Anyway this place was making the headlines for various reasons in 1936, before the toilet seat was added.
  15. Away and feck yersels, miserable gits :moon07: Anyway the bumf says the data is 1-3 years old. I'll never get tired of looking for places I've been on holiday etc. Like this: [img width=300 height=200]http://www.caledonianfc.co.uk/stadium.jpg

  21. Jnr- Se amadan a tha annad :014:
  22. Tyldesley- what a twat. Russeldinho, sorry I mean Ronaldinho, is lining up a free kick and he compares him to Johnnny Wilkinson :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: And not once at the end did they mention the Arse got a free kick for nowt. I've got nothing against Arsenal or any other English club but when these twats get going you just root for the oppo. Now the English national side- that's another story :016:
  23. I was certainly at that Shire game, real end of season stuff. Not sure Billy ever scored in Europe though he did miss a couple as any bluenose will tell you :015: :015: :015: :015:
  24. They've already mentioned it once :015: :015: :015: :015: Meaning 2006 not 19**, but preparing for WINNING it, not just preparing for it :015: :015: :015: :015:
