Fraser was sent off for less.

Yup... My mechanic actually warned me against buying French or Italian. That said, one of my first ever cars was a rust and yellow coloured Fiat 127. Bodywork was shocking but the engine never once let me down. I drove to Torquay and back in it. The sporty spots on the front obviously helped. 🤐😂😂😂

My mechanic gave me one piece of advice when car shopping... Never buy French. This was based purely on his volume of work. You might want to keep this link handy! https://www.whocanfixmycar.com/advice/peugeot-3008-common-problems Happy motoring.

He was saying Scotland COULD be successful as an independent country. 😂

The "physical assessment" is a joke. We were quoted a 4 figure sum for my wife's wee 13 year old runaround Ford Fester. (sic) It was actually in good nick and had not long since had a lot of work done to it. It also had new tyres and a new exhaust. A lovely wee runaround car for someone. We went into the office... They confirmed the 4 figure valuation. We went outside to "inspect" the vehicle. Cross in box after cross in box. Back in the office the nice man entered all his findings into the computer... and offered us £125! I kid you not. I told him it was worth more in scrappage! I haggled him up, but it was hard work. These are experienced "dealers". Still a shit settlement but I just wanted rid of the car as I was upgrading and my old car was worth twice the settlement fee. It still is going strong for my better half. WeStealAnyCar serve a purpose, but they serve themselves first and foremost and any initial quote should be laughed at.

Yes.

One of my first heroes, Billy The Fish was a Saints stalwart. His handsome athletic frame and agility made him the legend he is. His caps whilst playing for Saints testimony to his skill. Gone far too young. RIP Billy. Thanks for the memories. Condolences to his family and friends.

Awesome. Well done. 👏👏👏

Gig 4 of the week.. a tremendous 90 minute set from Beerjacket on Coatbridge. ♥️😎

Thrilled for the lad. Despite being a fan and a player, the abuse he took from our "support" was unwarranted. Nothing new... Personally I can trace that back to Billy Stark. I'm sure others can go back further. I wish him well and am delighted to see him being appreciated and supported.

Thursday night was my third gig of the week. Another cracker. It was the Celtic Connections album launch of Consequences, the 12 track collaborative album by Edinburgh singer songwriter Kim Edgar and various guest artists. The 12 tracks were released one a month throughout 2022, having been written during lockdown. It involved artists from Scotland, Wales, Finland, Miscou Island in Canada, Ontario Canada and Taiwan! The format was simple but meaningful. The album would be played in entirety, in order, with each collaborator first performing one of their own tracks to show why Kim wanted to work with them in the first place. I love Horse, Boo Hewerdine, James Grant and Louis Abbott of Admiral Fallow, and was so thrilled that they were taking part. They were all class acts. I loved discovering some new artists that I now want to hear more of. Welsh singer Dan Bettridge was a class act and great discovery. The album and therefore running order was as follows... 1. ANY WISHING STAR (written by Ron Sexsmith & Kim Edgar) 2. SAVE MYSELF (RUN AWAY) (written by Horse McDonald & Kim Edgar ) 3. THE EDGE OF SHAME (written by Boo Hewerdine & Kim Edgar) 4. THE ROLLING SEA (written by Dan Bettridge & Kim Edgar) 5. FIFTY TO ONE (written by Goodnight Louisa & Kim Edgar) 6. IT ONLY TAKES A SILENCE (written by J-P Piirainen & Kim Edgar) 7. VENT FOU (written by Sandra Le Couteur & Kim Edgar) 8. CORNERSTONE (written by James Grant & Kim Edgar) 9. I DREAM (written by Stone & Kim Edgar) 10. RIPPLES (written by Rachel Sermanni & Kim Edgar) 11. WHISPER PINK (written by Louis Abbott & Kim Edgar) 12. IN THE LONG RUN (written by William Crighton & Kim Edgar) The fantastic backing band also deserves a special mention. A very memorable night indeed. The album is highly recommended. Check out www.kimedgar.com An ambitious project by Kim Edgar that has resulted in something very special.

Tuesday night was Beth Nielsen Chapman at the Old Fruitmarket. Sublime. Very powerful and emotional. I bought the tickets 3 years ago. Cancelled twice. Her first husband died in 94. She remarried, but tragically, her second husband died in December. Both of cancer, which she herself has had. She was going to cancel the tour but her husband's last wish was that if she was able, the tour should go ahead. She smashed it. Great performance.

Don't you start bully boy.

Broken your promise already oh needy one. 😂😂😂😂 I didn't mention you. I didn't reference you. You quoted me. You are aDICKted! Shame on you.

Unless the Kibble were the estate agents in which case you obviously do not understand the current financial climate. They need to protect their "investment"! 🤐 Well justified.

Just checking... any time limits to that promise? Four and a half months seemed quite reasonable to me but you couldn't cope when you realised that you didn't have the last word. Drives you crazy son, doesn't it? Rhetorical question. Feel free to ignore me. (You can't though, can you?) Another rhetorical question. 🤐😜

Time to cleanse the forum...

On here? Trigger? Nah! I do wonder if it has any meaningful point though, you sad little troll. Four and a half months later, you dredge something up then accuse ME of the very thing you have just done. Irony. Oh my aching sides. Back to class son.

He also said, and I quote, "the club, which Kibble is part owner of"! Good to know that Kibble is now a collective St Mirren fan as otherwise, we couldn't really be "fan owned", could we? 😜 You make very valid points based on facts. Not sure there is a place for that in this playground. 🤐😜

FFS... You sought me out you needy little turd. I only ever laugh at your posts these days and let others rip the proverbial out of you. More fun. Right... Playtime must be over... Get back to class.

I had not mentioned it for four and a half months. You brought it up oh needy one. Let it go. 😂😂😂

Holy crap batman. You are really craving attention. Needy wee soul. Four and a half months to reply and that's your best. FYI.... I really do NOT want you to agree with me. You are WRONG and that has been proven. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Are you Frozen? Let It Go! 😎

New to Starbucks... Willie Miller's tears. A bit too bitter for me but Declan thought it was sweet! 😎

Did you take your gloves off to count that high? 😂😂😂😜

I enjoyed that. Both Main goals were brilliantly taken. I feared for us after we stupidly gave away a needless penalty and the Red Army decided to get behind their team, but my worries were needless. I switched to the Dons commentary for a while which was even more fun. Main and Gallagher are "rejects" apparently, although he backtracked later. Watt came on for Kilmarnock tonight to replace Grieve. Made an enjoyable night even moreso.
