Reidy1987

Hmmm. Piece of genius right enough. Typically crap line from the most overrated film of all time. Could've been written by a wee guy called Ricky from the Barras. Well I'm glad somebody knows what the feck he's on about... It's from, as Bajan Saint says, the vastly overrated "Withnail and I" Still none the wiser...

1. "You were only supposed to blow the bloody door off" - The Italian Job 2. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" - Gone with the wind 3. "I am not an animal, I am a human being" - The Elephant Man 4. "The name'sh Bond, Jamesh Bond" - Ehm... 5. "They can steal our lives, but they will never steal our FREEDOM" - Braveheart

Strimmers are a pain in the tits. That stupid wee bit of string keeps breaking off and then you've got to re-thread it. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Give me good old-fashioned shears any time.

Surely you would tape them onto tape?

And is it "squarial" or "squariel"???

BSB covered a few Saints games live. I remember a league cup tie with Hearts at Love Street having to kick off at 8:05pm to accommodate them. And we played the green bigots in a cup tie live on BSB. They had a really good package every week of Scottish highlights too - much better than the Sky deal. There's also a squarial still stuck to the wall above the 19th Hole in Renfrew. (Hmmm... cue a new thread - where's the strangest place you've seen a squariel? )

Yep, that's the one. You could also get a wee dish about the size of a soup plate. Brilliant picture quality and crystal-clear sound. Unfortunately, it only had 5 channels - The Galaxy Channel, mostly re-runs of Doctor Who; The Sports Channel, which featured a lot of Scottish and Italian football; The Movie Channel (guess what it showed); The Lifestyle Channel (kind of TV versionj of Woman's Own); and a music channel whose name I can't remember but it featured shows by such notables as Jono Coleman and the last ever video it showed was "Just a gigolo" by Bruce Dickinson...

Ah yes. Betamax videos. I had one of those. I also subscribed to BSB. If you want to know which version of a new technology to opt for, just ask me what I'm getting - then get the other one.

Lees - you are one bogging b*****d

Seemed OK to me. Mind you I was totally pished at the time having spent some time at the Leaky Boot... that figures ;) was that the pre-season match? i was in grimsby that day, didn't see any saints tops around. i went to see lincoln v huddersfield, the most boring pre-season game ever. huddersfield brought on this 6ft 5in sub who could barely stand up!! Yep - that was the day. Can't understand how you never saw any Saints tops. The place was jumpin (not forgetting that the place in question is Cleethorpes, not Grimsby). I seem to remember a pot plant made it into the match without paying. Anyone throw some light on this?

Food of the gods so they are.

1. Unsticking a zip 2. Unravelling a tangled neck-chain 3. Finding a fiver down the back of the couch 4. Untying a parcel without cutting the string 5. Paying off your credit card bill in one payment (ah, yes I remember doing that once )

1. Dundee pehs 2. Forfar bridies 3. Grimsby pies 4. Arbroath smokies (OK, not officially available in the ground - but what a snack!) And finally, of course 5. Love St steak and gravy pies. Yum. Honking snacks - any attempt at a burger or hot dog. Blegh.

It was for Tennent's Lager believe it or not. Went along the lines of "Tennent's Lager. Enjoyed by (camera pans along a line of blokes) Bill McGlumpher... Shuggie Witherspoon... Jimmy McShoogle... Bing Crosby... (camera does a double-take) BING CROSBY!!!???" This was at the time when Tennents was using a number of celebrities to flog their lager. Morecambe and Wise also did an advert for them...

That lad's too dark skinned to be Michael Jackson......... Oops! My mistake. It must be St Michael Barrymore then (allegedly)

Sure that's not St Michael Jackson?

Just to turn things round a bit, some slogans from adverts. What was the product? Wee clue - they were all Scottish. 1. "Ah canny get the matches tae light" 2. "There's always change at ...." 3. "What kind of a man are you, Wullie Baxter?" 4. "Bing Crosby... BING CROSBY!!!???" 5. "Pea and ham - fae a chicken???"

The company name was Sterling, a furniture warehouse. It's still there by the way...

That advert for DFS that was on during EVERY advert break on EVERY channel during the festive hols did ma brain in...

1. The Blues Brothers 2. The Doobie Brothers 3. The Brothers Grimm 4. Tim and Tom Gullikson 5. Joe and Gerry Baker

Carry a bundle of SMISA application forms about with you and when they stop you, say, "Ah, I'm glad I bumped into you - would you like to join SMISA?"

Surely the top Digital programme is Fingermouse. I'll get me gloves...

1. All the repeats of "I love the 70s, 80s, etc" on UK Horizons 2. Anything at all on the Discovery Channels 3. That gorgeous burd that's started reading the news on BBC News 24 4. The wide and varied range of, ehm, Adult Subscription Channels 5. The card apologising for The Studio going off the air
