I like Alex Ferguson. He likes his football and cannot hide the respect in which he holds Jock Stein and the great Celtic team of the 60s and 70s. Like you and I, Alex is immersed in the history of the game here, a history he contributed significantly to at Aberdeen.
So, when questioned by the Daily Record on the potential shuttering of Hampden, his overwhelming reaction was for the loss of history:
“… leaving your history behind you
“You’re throwing away all that fantastic history
“history you are throwing away
“That’s a fantastic history
“history has been formed
“The history of Hampden is riddled with fantastic games
“We need history to tell us where we’re going”
No football fans are more immersed in history than Celtic fans, it sustained us through many a dark day, so these words will resonate with you. But fear not, there is a solution!
They can raze Hamden to the ground and have another venue BUY THE HISTORY! Why didn’t this occur to such a great mind? Buying history is a fairly straightforward issue in Scotland. I now own the Crimean War, which I purchased from a guy in Edinburgh last week.
The same vendor was selling the Renaissance, which I would love to own, as I would really like to have painted the Sistine Chapel in the 16th century, but he was wanting £1000 for that, and an internal voice told me I was being taken for a brainless clown.

Mahe I’m fine Thank You. Missed the quiz but reading back saw the talk about the question & I reckon I’m calling it right.
Talking about Cork Bhoys , Did you hear about the Corkman who suffered from an inferiority Complex,
He thought he was the same as everyone else.

Where is mathematician Maggie McGill when you need him?
Good stuff on bbc 4. Hh
To those it may concern I will take a picture of the question and answer as it appears in the book the Californian goddess just told me was actually from her not her ma and post them.
I mean I went on good faith with a question in a quiz book?

TET, If the question is phrased as the Kings SECOND child then, there is a 50/50 chance it could be a girl but there is also a 50/50 chance whether the girl was the King’s first child or his second child.

The reason I wouldnae join a quiz is because when it is about CELTIC, on a CELTIC blog. I’d get the lowest score ever because of my memory.
My Dad can pick out players in pictures that were shown on CQN…that I printed out, he has no idea how to even turn on a computer.
That is the Truth.

If the king already has a boy, it matters not how it is phrased, the choice of the other or the second child, it’s either a boy or a girl, so it 1/1, evens, 50/50, it can’t be anything else, no matter how it’s spun.
—————-
The question is really what are the odds of the king having 2 children, 1 a boy and 1 a girl, the way the question is phrased causes the confusion. The link posted previously explains it.

Oui
Cork Celt,
Could I ask for advice please? A retired couple I know are coming over to the Cork races at the weekend. If you’re into the horses, would you have any advice on a winner or two? They seem to think that everyone here gets tips!

GB64 That was funny. Hh
The question was posed thus, the king has a boy….this is the crux, he already has a boy, not a girl, a boy, so what are the chances of the other child being a girl, it has to be 50/50, I don’t care how anyone tries to spin this, it’s as plain as the nose on yer face, he has a boy, the chances of the other being a girl is evens.
You can’t change the fact he already has a boy, if you could, then I agree that the %s are different.
People can do anything they want with numbers and the like, I read a stat once that reckoned there was only one person eligible to work in the UK, they way they done it was convincing enough, but in this case, it’s evens, end of.
Sleep well Timland

Mahe: Well dome on the quiz. Missed it as I was out in downtown Fuengirola. I reckon if I’d participated I’d have gotten 50% of the answers correct.
No wait, I mean 66.6666% correct, depending on how you worded them:-)
Best of luck with the new arrival to be.

I can assure you have been in the same company as “our mate micks” big sister and brother in law once or twice :-)
Probably even more in the Office than you realise :-)
Yogi, WITS is your man for TIPS, I wouldn’t have a clue on that front.
All I know is that Cork Racecourse is in Mallow about 35 kilometers from Cork City.
Hi Yogi and I intend to even if it is copied and pasted! ;)
If I can’t make it I’ll try to pass it on to someone else to fire up.
Love an old pub quiz,,,went to one here in San Diego ,,only foreigner,,,most questions USA based,,,
Still got the most right .
PS,,,I never seen your namesake play,,,outta 10?
I love “torturing ” the old timers for their opinion of players I never seen . Anton was my first hero.
I remember about that time my dad took me on a bus trip from andytown to see a game because his great mate paddy Kelly who was on leicsters books at one stage and would later go on to manage Donegal Celtic was playing this particular night. Honestly can’t remember the name of the team he was playing for,,,perhaps another poster could fill me in.
Anyway we’re on the coach on the way to the game and my dad ( God Bless Your Soul ) hands me a pen and a bit of paper and says ask that man for an autograph and points at a fella couple rows up on the bus.
I must been 6 or 8 or whatever.
Never asked a fella for anything like that.
So I walks up to yer man,,,no clue who,, just doing what my dad told me,,, asks him for his autograph.
It goes,,,me,,,can I have your autograph mister?
Him,,whoever he is,,,smiles,,what’s your name?,,,
Me confused,,,no mister not my name I want you to write your name on the paper?
Him,,,what’s your name son?
Me,,,look mister my daddy told me to get your name not mine on the paper.
Him and the fellas around him starting to laugh,,,,ok son point at your daddy,
I point he shouts down what’s his name?
It’s possibly still around but who was it? Well he got sent off for northern Ireland in a world cup game? ;)

TET He didn’t say the King had a Boy. He said the King had two children one of them was a Boy.
At this stage we would be all better off if the Bloody King was impotent.’
What’s the script with Fairhill Bhoy ??
If lurking, thanks to Dallas get “Irvine Bhoy” on utube some great stuff from the not so “invincible” years :-)

So, what if the first born is a boy who decides that he/she doesn’t want to be a boy or the second born is a girl who decides that she/he doesn’t want to be a girl? or vice versa?
Just asking?

I saw Redskins at Blue Note Club Derby. The only band I saw there who were better than The Redskins were The Pogues. Happy college days. The Smiths played free concert in our Polytechnic. Jonny Marr is a genius.
Garry, it’s amazining how many people walk by when something needs sorting.
Some pwixk stopped their 4 by and said ” be careful mate it could break your arm”
I said ” oh aye, be careful or I’ll break yours”
Did he think I was a 4 year old wean?
Happy to report it headed off toward the pond.
