Being there

1087

I’m sure many of you will remember the home game against Dundee in April 2001. We needed a win to be able to secure the title the following week, at home, against St Mirren. After the game Martin O’Neill sounded irritated at the anxiety in the crowd, oblivious to the fact that the loss of a late goal would have denied many of us the opportunity to be there when the title was won.

If you’ve been there for the highs (Aberdeen) and lows (Kilmarnock) of the league season you’ve earned a ticket to the party. Let’s hope the SPL deliver a home game next, as reported.

Apologies for the extended downtime yesterday. Plans are afoot for five new servers to load-balance CQN (which sounds a lot right now but we’ve had similar thoughts before).

Let the record show that the death of Margaret Thatcher brought CQN down longer than when Rangers did the decent thing. Was hearing the news a ‘JFK moment’? I was in the wee room at the time, a treat for all the senses, so I’m not sure how my memory will handle the situation…. mostly audio.

    Sorry, poor taste that……………it’s lunchtime!!!!!

  2. I thank God every day that Chuckles took over from Craigy Bhoy. Can you imagine what an actual zombie with money would have done with a debt free club.

    ‘Telstar’ may not have made it onto the island with ole Maggie, but it was one of her favourite discs

  4. Only in Scotland…………………………. day three of the Chortles Verdi racist slur, and not only is he not called to question, he confirms and backs up what he said without a hint of criticism from MSM.

    If we lose each of our remaining 5 games 3-0, including the game against Motherwell, while Motherwell win their other remaining games 4-0, we’ll still win the league on goal difference.

    To be precise (or pedantic), she does not say it was one of her favourites but does say her children liked it and it was played at home.

     

     

    If it had been Steven Van Zant’s “Sun City”, instead of the more Aryan sonics of Telstar, she may have imposed a Sinn Fein type ban on the phonograph

    Telstar

     

     

    Telstar was the first record by a UK group to make Number 1 in the U S of A .

     

     

    Great choon !

     

     

    Joe Meek also produced a vocal version – Magic Star – [ Kenny Hollywood ]

     

     

    Not a great choon !

    If he needs to do that to shift the seasons tickets then things must be pretty bad – and getting worse…..

    Ding dong up to no.11 in the download charts ( from 24 this morning ).

     

     

    Re the celebrations up and down the length of Britain last night. It tells us more about the mood of the nation towards her, than any of the sanctimonious twats the bbc et al have been wheeling out.

     

     

    Also with the song doing so well and the celebrations, we’ll probably be castigated for these actions……I just hope these same people can remember the very public celebration of the deaths of another 2 tyrants, saddam hussain and Osama bin laden.

     

     

    wee rant over…BMCUWP, don’t know if I asked u this before, but are u up in time for the Scottish National?

     

    If not, when? and is there a plan for the 27th?

    Excellent wee poem from Mrs TET. I have re posted that on the AICSC mailing lhist for all the Irish lads to enjoy. Full accreditation has been given to yourself and your good wife, by the way. Get somebody to put a decent melody to those words and you’d have an instant hit over here in Ireland!

    It was last nights show mate, listened to it again this morning and it’s still on there.

     

     

    It’s a recorded interview with one of the females presenters but gets joked away with the “oh he’s English and doesn’t know the implication” pash that they always say.

    the other guy ( not Jim Delahunt ), whilst discussing the “P” word, made reference to an interview he had done about 3 months ago…they played the clip, then BFDJ said ( as LB said ) oh he’s English, you can get away with down south, but not up here.

     

     

    Keevens went on about “this part of the country” as though the west of Scotland is the only place bigotry and racism is offensive!!!

    BBC Scotland website headline:

     

     

    Green criticised for ‘racist’ remark

     

     

    Note the single quotes around the key word. BBC Scotland seems unsure if it’s really racist or not.
