Johnboy

Aye right Johnboy.....ye'll be one of these "i only watch Discovery and the History channel" folks,but when the Sky+ planner is checked there's Emmerdale,Corrie,Eastenders,Neebors,Home and awa etc all wi series link eh? No way will you find any soaps on my Sky planner, H/Dee - EastEnders & Corrie probably had a lot to do with the break up of my first marriage.... What you're saying reminds me of a by-gone age when I was a TV/VCR repairman. Often VCR's would come in with the complaint - Tape stuck inside - won't eject.... This usually arose when ham-fisted junior would try & force his Thomas the Tank Engine into a machine when it was not switched on - but sometimes there were more interesting occurrences - A Church of Scotland minister once told me he only ever recorded Songs of Praise - When a tape got stuck in his machine I was intrigued to find the actual tape inside the cassette had been severed - deliberately, I suspected - by a pair of sissors.... Being an inquisitive kind of a bugg@r, once the cassette had been removed (in the workshop) from the vicar's machine, the next step was of course,to splice and repair the tape - I always love watching Songs of Praise - and so I decided to check out the vicar's recording in another machine.... WELL...!! I watched that tape from start to finish - not a sermon or a dog collar in sight - plenty of dogs... in fact what the vicar had been watching would have made Gary Glitter blush...!! :010: When I phoned to give him an estimate for repairing his machine, I told him the cassette could be spliced/repaired as well - Would he like me to do that? Strangely he told me it was a very old tape - please - just put it in the bin....!! I've probably still got that tape somewhere but nowadays I prefer to see everything in HD format..... :023:

Who isn't better looking than DC..? He's also got a twin brother who can cause your condensed vegetable to re-appear...!!

Looking at pictures like that?

So now you've taken cognizance of Mantis's excellent post, Charles - Does it therefore follow you will cast your vote(s) in favour of the SNP come May 3rd..?

Great post....!! I agree with the Mantis... :022:

along with

Duncan Ferguson ended up going to jail for a headbut not any worse than that..... Maybe referees were more lenient in these days - Thanks to John Rowbotham, Big Dunc was neither booked, nor sent off in that game - Rangers vs Raith Rovers.... It was the procurator fiscal who watched it on Scotsport and called for him to be arrested and charged....

No, that was me in the second post down on this page :001: :015: :015: I knew I had read that somewhere, recently.... Just couldn't remember where...!! :022:

I had a dictionary once which defined "poltergeist" as - "an uncouth spirit"... Presumably that's one that goes Wooo..wooo...wooooo...whooo ...whoooo - ya b@st@rd..... presence

As far as I can recall when CC was appointed to succeed CB, as many as 80% of the fans probably approved of the appointment... Judging by recent polls taken on this site he still has that support.... Unfortunately, given the first whiff of a poor performance or result the anti CC brigade are extremely quick to air their dissaproval..... As Absent Friend rightly points out the balance is never redressed given a decent performance or result... Was it Abraham Lincoln who once said - "You can't please all the people all the time" ...? Time to draw a line under this now........

Only the HD channels get recorded in the Johnboy household.... One thing I wasn't actually aware of until I got Sky + HD, was that anything recorded in the HD format will forever playback in that format. THe Caley - Celtic cup-tie went out on Sky HD - I've watched it a million times now on our 32" LCD screen.... I had no idea that CC has got quite a dandruff problem... Head & Shoulders Extra Strong, CC - that should clear it up.....!!! :003:

I was impressed by this comment in today's Scotsman... MAN OF THE MATCH Grant Munro(Inverness CT) On a day when creativity and imagination were at a premium, it was the Inverness centre-half whose performance towered over everyone else in what was generally a grim spectacle. Firm and precise in the tackle and dominant in the air, Munro is as capable a defender as any in the SPL. Praise indeed - Especially considering that his opposite number in the Rangers side is Scotland's centre-half.... :024:

I think Sutton is over-rated, too - much rather see a move made for Jason Scotland - especially now that St Johnstone are unlikely to get promotion....
