Talking of drinks promo's,I'm still the proud owner of a Newcastle Brown ale Snooker cue, which i had to drink 147 bottles of broon ale to get (no all at the same time i hasten to add) the things ya do when yer young an daft eh....

Mind of my 17 year old sister (thats a lang time ago) in the a bar in Fort william, saw the tops of the hats going past the window outside and started rummaging in her bag for sixpence to give for the "warcry" ,she near keeched herself when she realised it was the Polis doing an underage raid and she was offering them sixpence no to charge her!!

sqaure go meh erse,yer ah **** an wind ya auld goat,yev been doon sooth waaaaaaaay too lang,ehv had mair abuse fae the bairns pals when eh keep their ba :thumb04:

"Ah'm away to Dingwall Tray,ah here their lookin for a couple of fat stags ower there"

PM me with yer location if you are keen to get reception, not many areas in Sneck that are complete no go's for Sat AND freeview (but their are a few) Mind you, their are worse things in life than having to go to the pub to watch the fitba rite enuff !

Near spat oot meh cornflakes when eh clicked on that this morning,some sado's about out their rite enuff

it's all to do with transmission standards and compression used, Channel 5 has always been one of the worst offenders with very poor qaulity,Sentanta is probably THE worst ,i find their pictures virtually unwatchable,the black bands down the side are generally from foriegn transmissions where they wre transmitted in 4:3 instead of widescreen,you can manually adjust the aspect ratio but you will distort the image by "stretching" it. HD is the way ahead,the Arsenal game was free in HD on freesat the other night and was absolutely brilliant qaulity. The technical gumf of the various QAM standards is here 16 and 64 QAM transmissionsif ya can be ersed reading it,if ya can understand it, tell me!!

Very sorry to read that,as Alex says above,"there but for"..........

Dont get me started on Sentanta! the picture qaulity of broadcasts is appaling,often similar to poor resoloution screen shots,and their customer relations is worse with a complete "take it or leave it" attitude.I know which i chose!!!. On the in house front, oor lot have made huge improvments this season with no coverage of league games ,DFC tv has been set up ,excellant 8-10 mins highlights every week,player interviews,post match interviews along with PDF match programs of home games avilable for ?10 a month to join Club Dundee,(quite a few other wee benifits as well),great service for ex-pats who struggle to see games regularly.I,m sure if Dundee with VERY limited resources can get this up and working ICT could manage similar if the will is there. DEE Telly

One of the strangest things i came across at the footy was back in '92,on a visit to the food kiosk, an assistant politely asked what i would like,smiled when she served me my pie and bovril and when i ate the peh it was hot in the middle without being burnt to a crisp on the outside AND the bovril didn't leave a blister on the roof of my mouth.Many folk refuse to believe me when i recall the tale and i sometimes wonder if it's just my memory playing tricks on me....anyone else come across anything that unbelievable? PS Scotty ,Tommy's a DEE as well as an Owl after playing in a soapstars gemme at Dens he's attended a few games and been spotted on supporters buses going to away games

Would appear Sky sport news jumped the gun a wee bit with the Keegen exclusive,he has NOT been sacked,but thats not to say he won't walk unless he gets to run the team on his terms,quite right too Kev ,stick to yer guns, Hawaythelads Keegan NOT sacked

Untill i got to the bit about making millions i thought you were havin a dig at me their Charles !!! (before anyone else say's it )

Tough call regarding Darren Clarke but reckon Monty would have caused more disharmony within the team than he is currently worth given his petulant outbursts at Poulter and sly digs at Faldo ,(who i am no great fan of but he is the captain) Now the team is picked i hope they get on with the job of kicking they Yankee asses!! BRING IT ON..........

You been peekin in meh wardobe ya cheeky chunt!! nothing wrong wi high waisters and brothel creeepers...........just wish eh could still grow the mullet

cracking Pics Mantis, fair taks me back to meh yoof,Gayfield disnae look like it's cheenged much since the late 70's.Last time i was their eh was in platform shoes and sta-press breeks.

Well spotted,it took a film crew of luvies 2 days to complete that 3 second shot!!! Tis indeed Highland T.V. service in Greig street,renamed Rileys for the shoot.( Miserable gits made me move my van out of shot for the duration of filming )

Was oot golfin today and 3 of us all used to go regularly,now only the 1 still goes and the 2 "neutrals " have kinda fell by the wayside,partly price but also SPL "whats the point" attitude for neutrals, 25 quid for a usually pointless gemme of midtable mediocrity,( i refuse to attend OF gemmes regsrdless of opposition)I also refuse to be treated as a second class citizen/hooligan for 90 minutes by polis and "stewards" just coz i don my supporters hat,tis a shame, as i have a big soft spot for the team and would probly start attending again in the first division,spose ICT are a victim of their own success in that respect.

Ther's obviously some unknown underlying (probably financial) reason for using this massive sledgehammer to crack an affy wee nut,could have all been resolved,i'm sure, with a phone call if the will had been there to do so.Shame on those making these decisions.

Liked what i saw at Dingwall, seemed comfortable alongside folk he hadn't met before the game so hopefully once he gets in training he will gel even better. At least we know he can head and control a ball going by this ad eh?............Chris Pozniak advert (Alex, dinnae waste yer money,unless yer betting on them each way! )

Wee Dee was fortunate to get hold of one of the last 60 GB PS3's which are backward compatible and play most (but not all) PS 2 games.It's also a superb Blueray player, picture qaulity and surround sound are awesome.All in all a tremendous machine.

Ah the best for the coming season guy's and gals,here's hoping ICT get aff to a flyer on Saturday and break the Sheepie hoodoo,hopefully the Dee can go one better than last season and we get some games and a bit of banter at the TCS next season .Nae doot see some of you's at a few games this season wi meh neutral hat on cheers Heilandee

New sponsors Easyjet who reckon they can get in and out of europe in just over 3 hours

Bit simplistic to take the ?575 as payment for 2 hours work as many unpaid hours over many years are required to get to the top grade and some incentive is required to get fresh blood into refereeing,that said i think they should be performance related with some form of unbiased adjudicator rating the performance as many are simply woeful

For a long time Sky were affy worried about "churn" ie, customers stopping subscriptions and operatives were instructed to offer virtually any incentive to keep customers on board,however, they made a rod for their own back as everyone became aware of this and began phoning in demanding reduced package rates or they would leave,to the point Sky drew a line and now it is very difficult (although not impossible)to negotiate reduced package rates. I,d be interested to hear if anyone can negotiate reduced package rates, as this may change in the current climate as belts get tightened with spiralling cost of living charges. ?47 a month is getting outrageous.
