  1. It's time the rest of the royal family was killed, sorry culled.
  2. It was my great Uncle Jack's showroom, Sweenie's Furniture. As well as the Chinese restaurant it was also a nightclub called "The Arches", my former Gallowhill nextdoor neighbour Robert Quinn was the bouncer.
  3. I was looking forward to those chocolate samosas.
  4. I see the **** have broken their social media silence already.
  5. They weren't. There was a 3 year embargo on them entering European competitions, those 3 years coincided with them being a lower league club and not qualifying anyway.
  6. Further, if you genuinely do have an item of mail addressed to you, which is underpaid your Postman will put a silver coloured card through your door stating the amount of underpaid postage plus the handling charge. It's 13 years ago since I plodded around my beat and back then the customer had to go to the delivery office with the card and payment but I suspect these days it can be paid for online.
  7. As a former Postman I can confirm that the ONLY way that Royal Mail will contact you regarding an undelivered item of mail is by the "red card" that they will put through your letterbox. No text, no email, NOTHING else.
  8. Confirmed from Hibs AGM that they will be entitled to 15% of a future sale of John McGinn by Aston Villa to which Saints would be entitled to 30%. As an example, if he was sold for £40M, Hibs would receive £6M from which we would get £1.8M.
  9. JG's comments on McGrath have been picked up by an Irish sport site. Cue condescending pish in the comments section like "St. Mirren? We used to have players coming from Man United and Liverpool." and "If he was International class he wouldn't be at a club like St. Mirren."
  10. To save you taking pictures of your laptop screen with your phone, you can use the snipping tool by pressing WindowsKey+shift+S.
  11. Kaley Cuoco has a tattoo on her arse which is the Chinese word for "soup".
  12. We were 4-0 up after 20 minutes. Len Cantello (scorer of one of the stunning goals for WBA in that televised 5-3 win at Old Trafford) was then sent off and yet the 10 man Trotters scored through Worthington and Nowak. In typical St. Mirren fashion we "lost" the away leg 2-0 with Allardyce scoring both. Bizarrely, away goals only counted double at the end of extra time rather the normal 90 minutes. Cue Jimmy Bone scoring in the 120th minute to make the FT agg score 5-4 to Saints. We of course went on to further pump English sides Sheff. Utd and Bristol C. to lift the trophy.
  13. Here was me thinking you were older than me, too. The petrol station was definitely still there in 1983 and probably for (quite) a few years after that. I was never up that end of town until post 1987.
  14. I wasn't even a twinkle in my Dad's eye, long before my time. I mind seeing a picture of The Flywheel on FB, that's the only reason I know about it.
  15. Did you get those stats from soccerbase? For games after a certain amount of time they report all games as being played om the 30th of January. Why? Don't know...ask them. The LC games were in the 47/48 season. Lost 8-1 away on 16th August 47, exactly 3 weeks later (6th September) beat them 7-1 at home. 3 weeks after that (27th Sept) lost 1-0 at home to them in a league game. Bizarre.
  16. This is actually last season's final. Whoever wins will only hold the trophy for ONE DAY because this season's final is tomorrow!!!
