Good story though - all the elements of a good pub yarn over a few glasses of Glenlossie.... I was once staying in a hotel in Dunvegan on Skye when a fire broke out - the local firemen came before the Portree lot arrived and they all appeared to have been on the Glenlossie.... I think they were showing more concern than usual as the fire was in the bar (which I am sure a few of them had only left a few hours previously)

Eddie Thompson DUFC article Sad to hear - although sometimes ridiculed he did a lot for the club that he proudly supported. A Jack Walker type of character - unfortunately there aren't too many of those left in today's football circus. RIP

"Knowing the people I've been acting for I think they always wanted it to happen deep down, and tonight seems to have removed a lot of the anxiety that existed and I think things will go through a lot more straightforwardly." (Deryck Beaumont 26.1.94.) Charles - glad to see you are getting into the spirit of things :thumb04: ....and still not lost any of that old vitriol (hic....quite apt for an alchemist) Whatever happened to Hamilton and the other one....with the big mop.... they tried unsuccessfully to convert me to 'chase the egg' but after one game played in a foot of snow enough was enough. Give them their due though I do look forward to the Six Nations each year and will hopefully be up north to see Sale v Munster this weekend.... The real fun was had beating Milburn at football - but that wasn't usually too difficult.... :018:

So true and on a similar note.... It Was Already Late Fall And The Indians On A Remote Reservation In South Dakota Asked Their New Chief If The Coming Winter Was Going To Be Cold Or Mild. Since He Was A Chief In A Modern Society He Had Never Been Taught The Old Secrets. When He Looked At The Sky He Couldn't Tell What The Winter Was Going To Be Like. Nevertheless, To Be On The Safe Side, He Told His Tribe That The Winter Was Indeed Going To Be Cold And That The Members Of The Village Should Collect Firewood To Be Prepared. But Being A Practical Leader, After Several Days He Got An Idea. He Went To The Phone Booth, Called The National Weather Service And Asked, "is The Coming Winter Going To Be Cold?" "it Looks Like This Winter Is Going To Be Quite Cold," The Meteorologist At The Weather Service Responded. So The Chief Went Back To His People And Told Them To Collect Even More Firewood In Order To Be Prepared. A Week Later He Called The National Weather Service Again. "does It Still Look Like It Is Going To Be A Very Cold Winter?" "yes," The Man At National Weather Service Again Replied, "it's Going To Be A Very Cold Winter." The Chief Again Went Back To His People And Ordered Them To Collect Every Scrap Of Firewood They Could Find. Two Weeks Later The Chief Called The National Weather Service Again. "are You Absolutely Sure That The Winter Is Going To Be Very Cold?" Absolutely," The Man Replied. "it's Looking More ! And More Like It Is Going To Be One Of The Coldest Winters We've Ever Seen." "How Can You Be So Sure?" The Chief Asked. The Weatherman Replied, "the Indians Are Collecting Firewood Like Crazy."

Old Macdonald had a Barm (Cake).... :thumb04: and on that Barm he had some.... you get the picture.... :018:

fair enough....it would have looked pretty sepctacular with the glasses though.... PS - any idea where Dots is hiding these days?

BNP - something on e-bay that might suit you sir.... It doesn't appear to have been worn since 1994 :thumb04:

On the night, Jimmy Falconer was the apparent loser but it's interesting to see that, as football secretary, which he became a few months later after Scott Byrnes left the area, he is now by far the longest serving individual on Caley Thistle's "inner circle". That explains a few things then....

Charles - remind me - who were the rebels who were briefly on the first ICT board

I guess he can't spell either....

Strewth this guy has a page on wikipedia.... Ibrahim Atiku Trialist Checks In

New Gold Dream - Simple Minds (1982) Broadsword and the Beast - Jethro Tull (1982) :thumb04: War - U2 (1983) :018: This is the Sea - Waterboys (1985) ;) Misplaced Childhood - Marillion (1985)

Impartial as Against All Odds :018: No-one ever ask themselves why there was no Rebel involvement in quotes/interviews in the publication ;) Maybe BNP and Davie the painter should get back together to give us LSM 18(the merger novel) :thumb04: Maybe it could be called On a LSM - the chad edition

Where does ICT keep its money - McScratch and Save? I suppose they do not need to worry as they don't have more than ?50K in the bank - not like the players Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - Irish Post Bank leaks footballer?s details A BUSINESSWOMAN walked into a Newcastle bank and walked out with Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given?s personal details. Shop owner Jacqueline Cooper was given the confidential statement by mistake after requesting a mini-statement. The 41-year-old returned to her newsagents opposite the Allied Irish Bank without reading it. She explained: ?I didn?t look at it straight away ? I put it in the drawer. ?But when I looked and saw the amount of money involved I thought, ?there?s something wrong here?. ?I was panicking until I noticed it was Shay Given?s name at the top and not mine. ?I told my husband Cliff, who?s a Newcastle United nut, and he couldn?t believe it either.? The bank has now launched an investigation. Newcastle?s Shay Given was shocked to hear his personal details had been leaked but the Donegal man declined to comment for legal reasons. Mother-of-two Mrs Cooper believes the mistake was a human error. She said: ?I went in and just asked for my last few transactions on my bank statement because my account customers sometimes pay by cheque and I wanted to check a bill had been paid. ?I think maybe Shay?s statement must have been left lying around on the printer and when they went to print mine out, they got mixed up. ?But I don?t really know what happened.? A spokeswoman at the AIB UK head office in Uxbridge, Middlesex, said: ?Customer confidentiality means that we would never make any comment on our customers? affairs. We are very concerned.? :thumb04:

Alex - don't know where you get your water from but I would start boiling it if I were you....

Quote of the day - "This is worse than a divorce , I've lost half of my net worth and I still have a wife ..." Recently overhead on the trading floor of a large bank at Canary Wharf.

Also the SPL summary video and individual game snippets on the BBC web-site are excellent for those overseas....

Did Topic Bars merge with Marathon? The fictional character Arnold Rimmer from the British TV sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf mentioned that he was the only person ever to buy a Topic bar with no hazelnuts in it at all. This was a joke based on the bar's 1980s advertising slogan which claimed there was "a hazelnut in every bite". In another episode, when Rimmer is trying to chat with Lister to distract him from thinking about food, he states that he "can't think of another topic" - prompting the response "don't talk about Topics, they're food!"

Having had a look through some of the old editions of both publications - there appears not to be many who didn't escape being lampooned (or in some cases harpooned) There really should be a "Where are they now" spot for the lesser lights ....whatever happened to the Tin Man....

CD Firestarter.... It was all that talk about the Black brothers having attended IHS by Herr Bannerman - somebody out there obviously couldn't bare it any longer.... :thumb04:

....good spot....totally appropriate - I would say....

Ah well - it could have been worse - you could have woken up a Hammers fan this morning....
