Scarlet Pimple

I love Terry's spirit and enthusiasm. Truly the kind of positivity the club needs after the Niculae problem etc. I am not yet sure that he has the shrewdest football brain in the SPL but we really have to wait until all the injuries are cleared u and the team rebounds to some sort of normalcy and then we can judge him on his results and so on coming out of a definite settled formation.

Now, in Vancouver, Canada, 3D is about to become all the rage? Go figure!!!!!!

:biggrin:

Now there's a nice wee mannie , so he is. A real helpful gent and no mistake, as Mr mcCawber would have siaid once upn a time.

Quel est all thi about? Eh?

Sounds like the defence is weak or rocky and there are not enough attacking players aup front. Surely Rooney can't do it alone against the better opposition of the SPL.?

In viewing the highlights from the official site I usually get Windows Media Player, or sometime Real Player yet what I want is Winamp since it seems to be the best purveyor of perfect pictures. Problem is I can't remember how to select Winamp as the default player on my system.. Just put it down to Oldtimer's Alzheimers or something but, c,mon, you get these lapses as well from time to time don't you? Ihope you can help? P.S. I wonder why are the highlights of the Hibs match not up on the site when the BBC has them on their webpage, but Overseas viewers cannot access them--of course. I a looking every day, I am Scotty, I am......

Good heavens IHE - you have a habit of bringing back my fondest and often most humiliating memories. Like that time up the Herbertstrasse in Hamburg, at the age of 20,when I looked at the buxom older woman, saw, went in and then was told I could not touch the sticky-out parts. It was all downhill after that and the wilt in the tilt in the kilt became severe.Sigh! Will someone tell Croylo to read this since he might learn something very valuable from the experience....

C B --Samuel or Methil?(The pit Manager was overheard to say 'there is cole in them thar ridges) And Buckett--"Et tu , Brute. Oh woe is me , Oh Miserime. Iwill have you know that I am not religious but spiritual. How else did I get the very minute of an ICT goal correct two seasons ago?

The flag as not been shown for a few years I am afraid. Scotty shredded it. And he is a proxy Candian. Grrrr!

Croylo, my dear boy. Never fear.Thou wilt get used to it. And so long as you do not succumb to a wilt in the tilt in your kilt,there aint nuffink that you may be able to achieve. Once you have been on here for as long as I have and shown the endurance required to stay the course , you will be allright. And a lot wiser to boot. And if I am wrong, in your judgement, just go and ask Mr Bannerperson. He wilt telt thee.

Then you stood in a queue did you IHE? And , once in the door you found there were windows all along the street with exotic animals on view? Is that right, then? But , the fifty million dollar question ...."what did you do next, pray?"

Caley Thistle are gradually making ann impression on the top-flight football scene in Scotland. I don't think the average person now things of us as upstarts or newbies or loons or rookies. More like a "PRESENCE". YES!!!!!!

Croylo I was asking Chas whether he wore a kilt cos I know that all superior Sneckites wear the kilt and have an affected accent. Me? I have an accent affected by many ups and downs and a penniless past so I have nothing to lose. Even my virginity went sideways a century ago and after that it was all downhill. And yes I did wear a kilt when I was in my early teens but only to please my mother. In these days my legs were thinnish but now they are...... well....nice, like. How are your legs Croylo? Non-snobbish and a bit rough round the edges, eh? Come on ! I'll bet you would look swell striding down Main Street in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. The ladies would be asking you for a date I am sure.The only other place where they can see many kilts at once is up at Simon Fraser University when their pipe band is practicing. Didn't win the Wor5ld Piping Championship this year I am sorry to say, but still a great band...aye! . Don't see too many kilts along this way, it's a working class town, really, and for some unknown reason I don't seem to quite fit in. Maybe that's because I am a closet snob and can't get away with an affected accent. Frankly, the whole atmosphere here is affecting me somewhat.Too much affectation I think. Hmmmm! Lots of horse around here though. I saw a Llama in a field the other day, a squirrel in me back yard yesterday gathering acorns feverishly for the oncoming snowy conditions, a black bear padding around the back door at 3 a.m., a Blue Jay the size of Caley D's hands placed side by side, a raccon on the prowl, and, last but not least, a couple of Hummingbirds hovering over my pot of WHITE heather on the back deck which was quitean interesting experience. Could you post a picture on here,please, Ploylo? I do like looking at pictures of leggy lovelies.......I am a lonely man and with all the action above described why should I worry about whether Charles is pleasing us all with his articulations. An articulated vehicle out here is a very long truck attached to a very long flatbed, or sumpin.Sometimes, to get over yer spat, yese just have to bury the hatchet and put the offending article onto the flatbed and just dump it in the desert.Very decisive and effeective ---or is that affective? Over and out Biggles.

One of the few good things about getting old is that you realise with some glee -- what is the worst thing that they can do to you if you have only twenty years to go. Put you in jail? There you are sure to get peace and quiet, no nagging wife, no sex attacks from the pervs in there because you know you are no longer attractive and, if you were, there are no weemin in the male part of the jail to pester the life outa you. You get free meals, free T.V., probably a chance to get a round of golf at the local country club because the rules are so soft and lax these days about prison being a penalty that you are sure to have someone in authority taking pity on you as you limp painfully along what's left of life's path. And no one expects you to make clotherts pegs! And I am sure that there are guys on here and gals too who can think of some more choice things that make life a canter in the GAOL the noo. Chust a thocht !

A sheepshagger, the Mantis? Good Heaven's . For that he would have to take off his pantis. But, nay, not him. If there is one thing we know, it's that he isnae dim! He's a teacher you know, from yonder skule And gives his pupils the eagle eye,so as over them to run the rule. Och! and is it no sic a pity that that's the end of my ditty And, folorn be me, I have to quitty Since my wife has just left the bath and I have to run over and feel her taffeta dress Which has got, down the side, a wee nifty slitty.

Do you wear a kilt Charles?

Trying to be nice Huh? I just don't like (I never say hate. smile) grovellers 'cos you know we are gonnee beat yese soon again. Anyway, thanks for the empathetic words. Very nice of you to send a post all the way up here . Come up and see us sometime, big boy. :biggrin:

Hope that Caley Thistle can at least pull a draw out of the bag here......Hmmmmmm.

What's wrong with Gillet--injured?

All I can add is that my "new" Internet Explorer 8 is supposed to be faster than 7 but it is the very opposite and since being forced to download it I have had all kinds of freezes, slow , slow, etc. I am very fed up with it. So it is not possible for me to detect whether it is the web site or not.

It's very well done Jay 7. However, my dad once showed me the large tattoo on his forearm, which I think he had done in the army before he went into the trenches in France in the 1st World War, saying "I wish I had not done that". He was about fifty-ish at the time. As a machine gun sergeant in the frontline trenches at the age of 17 or 18 he perhaps must have been trying to assert his manhood in the face of th fear that all of these poor blighters must have felt in that terrible slaughter. Obviousl, being that rank at such a young age , there must have been a good few before him that never made it! However, he was lucky and got out of the conflict relatively unscathed but his soldier colleague crouching beside him got a bullet through his forehead. And that was the only time he ever discussed the First World War and his role in it. However, I did find an iron cross in the bedroom cupboard as a teenager so that in itself made the shivers go up and down my spine. Then I just wondered what it was or represented.For him , it was just the luck of the draw I guess.

A backward Pele is elep of faith. Never say never.

Yes! There but for the grace of God go I. And of course it can happen when you least expect it and for the trashiest of reasons. Yep. Life gets tejious. :irritated:
