Bernard Manning..??

His subs seemed to work pretty well for him on Saturday..... :023:

Spot on, Naelifts... The other thread on Michael is entitled "Time to drop Fraser" - How fekin pathetic is that... Where did you find the inspiration for that one, D-B-S..?? :020: :020: :020:

Anyone who's ever guddled for trout knows that fish do have tits.... Very responsive they can be too..... :014:

I agree about Blackie and Cowie.... This side has come a long way since that dire opening league game with Rangers. Even in the 5-0 gubbing last week, there were plenty of encouraging signs... It's stilll early days in the league.... I reckon a top six finish this season is a very realistic target.... :022:

Cheers Eliza..!! Totally agree with all of that.... :022: I find it interesting to note that there are so many comedians/entertainers who are either loved or loathed - For many of these there is just no in-between.... 'tis an interesting subject.... Maybe someday, some gifted person like Hamish will explain to us all why this should be the case.... :024:

So pleased you think so.... I would be interested to note how you rate entertainer Jonathan Ross...?? Funny or not funny...??

The late great Bernard Manning was one of the funniest guys on the planet for me.... another comedy natural if ever there was one...... :015: :001: :015: Roy "Chubby" Brown was never in the same league... Couldn't stand him - much preferred Gordon Brown... :029:

Be sure and notify us in advance of the time for this event, in order that all decent thinking folk in the stadium will have a chance to look away..... :crazy07:

What a difference a week makes - Hearts completely destroyed Rangers last week - today we made them look very average.... The win today was no more than we deserved.... Cowie is proving to be an inspired signing - thanks CC - Our season has finally started.... :022:

Such "moments" don't happen too often for ICT supporters....!! :023:

Much as I dislike Utd, I would rather have seen Gretna humped in that one..... :024:

Interesting choice of words there, Mee.... :rolleyes02:

We now have flavoured condom machines for the kids.... :017:

Great pics.... Are you interested in standing stones by any chance, Mantis..??

Was he on a broomstick..?? :024:

Are you seriously suggesting "some time" would have been taken by firefighters to isolate electricity from the building, even if people had been screaming for help from upstairs rooms..? The worst thing that could have happened had water been poured onto a building with a live electrical supply is that a "short" would have been created and a fuse would have blown somewhere... No problem... Also Laura has correctly pointed out water was eventually pumped from the River Ness, but by the time it arrived it was way too late... I would like to know why it took such a long time to do that, and what the problem was with the hydrants on Old Edinburgh Rd/Culduthel Rd/Castle St.... Thank God no one was in that building - they quite simply wouldn't have stood a chance... I just hope there will be some kind of meaningful enquiry into just how yet another part of Sneck's heritage has been irretrievably lost...

Again - You are probably right about that, but surely some of these guys will have come across occassions of buildings on fire in the past.?? :023: I just found myself wanting to yell at them.... "FFS... Where the feck have you been"..?? "This priceless, historic feckin building has just burst into flames"....!!! "Are you cnuts just gonna stand around and watch it.."..? :crazy07: :crazy07:

My thanks to all the dog owners/lovers who responded to our plea for help re looking after Shadow for a couple of weeks.... We did find someone who very kindly offered to look after him.... :003: It never ceases to amaze me the things you can help for on this site.... :014:

Of course you are right about that, Rig... they also had to evacuate people from nearby buildings as well... It just seemed to me the building must have been smouldering for around half an hour or more - and then all of a sudden turned into a blazing inferno... I am wondering at what point/time the fire service were alerted. It is, sorry, was a huge building and it was ablaze from end to end, top to bottom in no time at all.... Smee's suspicions are probably well founded. I understand the owner of the place had plans to convert the building into flats - meantime, he was also under pressure from Highlands Council to carry out remedial work on dry rot etc - he had pledged to them that the building would be preserved and maintained until the conversion got underway.... Wonder how much he had it insured for.... :024:

I gotta whiff of something just coming up to half-time in the Dons game.... looked out the window and saw smoke drifting up the street.... thought it was a chimney fire at first. Took a walk along the street to see where it was coming from... The building was smouldering badly, and as I got there flames were starting to appear around the upstairs windows... Called 999 on my mobile only to be told the Fire Service were already in attendance - They weren't - although one appliance arrived just when I got there, followed about 5 minutes later by another one - Maybe they had all been watching the football.... It must have been about another 15 minutes before hoses were actually turned on the building by which time the roof was well and truly ablaze... I left the scene after about another 15 minutes - and passed another appliance with the really long turntable ladders on its way to the scene... I would imagine by the time that went into action the building would have been nothing more than a shell.... Hope to feck my house never catches fire... Must remember to take the battery out the TV remote and reinstall it in the smoke alarm.... :024:

It's the building right on the corner of Old Edinburgh Rd and Culduthel Rd... Been empty for a few years now... The Fire Service were very slow to arrive and very slow to turn hoses on it... The buildings a complete goner now... will probably have collapsed by the morning

Fair enough, but why not Hibs or Hearts...? Or Falkirk or Killie..? Or is it all bound up with just wanting to be part of the sectarian chanting mob, desperately seeking a little glory..?

One of the team..? :024:

Ricky Gervais doesn't do much for this boring old fart either... Have to agree with Scotty on Billy Connolly.... He is pure comic genius... :015: :022: What do all you boring young farts think of him..?
