  1. Not sure how many times I need to post but don't need to try and prove to anyone that I support Inverness Caledonian Thistle, no I am not 'a hun' who sings the sash, billy boys or famine song nor will I be, obviously you didn't read my previous post!!! For those who know me and sat beside me at Ibrox they'll know I was in the away end and was dancing about the stand when we equalised, unfortunately I can't make the home game against Rangers but if I could I would be sitting in the North stand cheering on TB and the boys like every other game if not more. Does anyone else want to have a completely unprovoked pop at me and doubt my loyalties? I didn't accuse you of being a hun. I just asked if you could explain the "Big Jock New Camp" reference. I don't know what it means. Care to elaborate?
  2. Thanks for the report. I don't get the reference to the "Big Jock New Camp." Could you please explain? Excuse my ignorance.
  3. Ye'll need three scarves--one for each wrist and one round the napper.
  4. If you lot are doing this, the Thistle Young Ruffians will have to reassemble.
  5. Having now recovered from the shock of the revelation that you appear to have been in a bookshop no less than twice in something like a week, I do appreciate your update. However I am not unduly concerned since the half dozen or so still on the shelf in Waterstones are the very final copies of the sixth print run which this book has enjoyed since it was first published 15 years ago. Musta used up hoora lot of staples over the years.
  6. A mere 46 posts, and already the best poster on here.
  7. The only person talking sense on this thread. Wars are not computer games and should be remembered with sorrow and regret and the commitment to never let them happen again.
  8. RIP Gordie, and respect to the family.
  9. Nice one. Care to give any more details?
  10. Nice idea to combine the Grease theme with the Rocky Horror Show.
  11. Ach, ah was only jesting CD. Most of my mates are old high schoolers, just not the high-flying intellectual types ye get on here. So Merry Christmas to all the High School FPs, and to those "Kaddy Rats" that CB is on about. Millburnicks can forget it though.
  12. I don't want the government worrying about my relationships with my family, friends or anyone else. Plenty of families are split up due to factors that aren't controlled by the state - do you want the government to legislate against everything that could cause a family breakdown? That's the logical conclusion of your argument. The fact is that the prohibition of drugs causes the problems of impoverished addicts, impure drugs and crime. If drugs were legal then the government would also presumably collect taxes on their sale which would contribute to paying for hospitals to treat people. So people should take drugs to boost government coffers to pay for treatment of drug addicts? FFS. :(
  13. If drugs were legal it would reduce massively many of the problems associated with drug use. Heroin is actually very cheap to produce, hence the massive profits involved in trafficking it illegally. The high cost of the drug is the result of it's illegality and the majority of the crime is a result of the cost - i.e. housebreaking etc. Also, I don't think it's justifiable for the government to tell me, or any other sentient person, what I can and cannot do to my own body. If I want to spend every penny I have on getting wasted beyond belief I should be able to do so, so long as I don't harm anyone else. Fair enough I suppose, but then you shouldn't go crawling to government-funded doctors and hospitals for help when it all goes t**s up. The selfishness of any addict leads them to convince themselves that what they do is up to them, and as you say, doesnt "harm anyone else." What about their family, friends, the ones who do all the worrying and grieving and who are left to pick up the pieces of their lives?
  14. Dougie... let ths Kaddie Rat tell you (because you seem to be as utterly clueless about this as you are about Highland RFC and the Harriers)... a great number of Tecky boys and girls not only made it to 6th year but also went on to have distinguished university careers. Apart from that the IHS also produced two Chief Constables... Hugh MacMillan of Northern Constabulary and Sir William "Suds" Sutherland of Lothian and Borders. Still on yer high horse CB. Think I'd rather be utterly clueless than utterly humourless and completely self important. Two Chief Constables, by feck eh?
  15. Did any High School lads actually make it to 6th year?
  16. People should start to protest, come together as communities and insist the dealers are cleared out of their streets. Speak up about it.
  17. That was very helpful, thanks. :angry: Welcome to CTO DougieDangler! Cheers mate. I'll try not to "reseruct" any other old threads.
  18. Right enough Mantis, but surely there must be someone with one bit of craic about going to Jags games. You never seem to hear it.
  19. It's been a while since there's been a decent record shop in town, so what are your memories of sadly defunct vinyl heavens such as TORS, Christies, etc.? Bought my first singles (Union City Blue and Dreaming) in Christies, which was at the time a haunt of punks and skins and a pretty scary place.
  20. How comes there's no threads on the rusty tin bit down the side at Kingsmills?
  21. I don't know about ex members because we actually have rather a lot of current ones, but this Life Member of the Harriers certainly could. Just to put you right on one or two other matters, the last Harrier to win a national championship medal on home ground at the Queens Park actually came from the darkest Ferry. The first Harrier of the modern era to win a national title was brought up in a council house in Hilton. And as far as I can make out dougiedanger - Charles is not from the Crown or Lochardil either - a Dalneigh boy by all accounts. And your point is caller?
  22. Oh dear, we seem to have huge Freudian problems with rugby as well as athletics! So maybe the key to the balance I was advocating on the Harriers thread is therefore to put the Rugby chip on one shoulder and the Athletics one on the other. Pommes frites, surely.
