    ...I've hit my £250 funding target with 3 days to spare!! :) Thanks very much guys, best supporters in Scotland, and I've no doubt that Mavis and the team at Reverse Rett will be delighted!

    ...which is absolutely no reason to stop donating...

  2. Right! If I ever catch any of you guys touching my daughter, I'll...

    Oh, wait a minute. I think I may have misunderstood. When she said she was touched by the guys on B & WA, I think she meant she was touched by your generosity! tongue.png

    Seriously, though - you've been brilliant. Thanks a million. (There's still time if you haven't yet forced open the old wallet thumbup2.gif)​

  3. I'm struggling. Can any kind Buddies help me?

    My daughter has lupus - you know, what that Selena Lopez lassie came out as having the other day.

    She's never pain free but she rarely complains. My daughter, that is. I've heard Lopez never stops girning.

    So, we're planning to do a skydive to raise funds, but it's one of these deals where you need to raise a grand before you can do the jump.

    We're well over half way there but we need a lot more. Is there any chance the good folk of Black and White Army dot com could dig deep and take us closer to the target?

    I guarantee the Hibbs Lupus Trust has nothing whatsoever to do with the Hibees!

    Thanks in advance to anyone who coughs up a quid thumbup2.gif

  4. Two things I like to tell my kids about and any other young 'uns who'll listen, dating back 20 years or so to when I had my nuts nullified - firstly, the pre-op instructions required the area to be shaved. When the male nurse at the SGH saw my efforts, he remarked that I'd been unnecessarily zealous. Basically, I'd just carried on down south from shaving my face. Pubes are bleedin' painful while they grow back. Secondly - and this is absolutely true - the local anaesthetic didn't work the first time it was administered. Which is alarming. So they tried again. After a second injection in the scrotal zone and a pause to let the knackers become numb, they started work again with the scalpel. Imagine the pitch of my voice as I told them the area still wasn't anesthetised. Oh, how we laughed! Post-op swelling and bruising was pretty bad but, because I was clearly a VERY fecund beast, a lot cheaper and less painful than having a larger family happy.png.

  5. For what it's worth, my view is that the adverts are not designed to indoctrinate impressionable Panda Club members or change the voting intentions of hardcore Saints supporters, but rather they give a wee bit of support to the local football club from community-minded organisations.

    I might choose to have coffee and a sticky bun in a nearby café because I know the proprietor has the same affliction as I have, but I'm not going to embrace a left-wing lifestyle because a hoarding told me so.

    I despise UKIP, but I would have no objection to SMFC taking their money. I would, however, object to advertisements promoting sectarian or extremist organisations. Neil Bibby - OK. Mujihadeen or Sons of Struth - no thanks.

    From a legal point of view, you might be surprised how little of a f*uck I give.

  6. I know a friend of the deceased driver. Let's not pander to misplaced manners - it was caused by stupid and dangerous driving. I just wish I had a reason to believe the waste of a kid's life would stand as a warning to his friends who drive like idiots, but I don't.

    As others have said, thank goodness no-one else was hurt.

    It might not sound like it, but I do feel sympathy for the driver's family & loved ones.

  7. ...they have to pay to rent trailing facilities. We have a low maintenance stadium and we own our own training facility...

    I understand the plan to install a plastic pitch is designed to let the team train on it and also to let them generate income by letting it out. Bit of a win/win by the looks of it...

  8. I'm seriously underwhelmed by the cost of the half-season ticket which was the subject of an email I received from the club today.

    At £190 and covering the remaining 11 games, I reckoned it would save me £30. Fair enough.

    Then I read this! Turns out the half-season ticket is only saving me £20! It's entirely possible that I'll be unable to make it to one of the remaining games, meaning I wouldn't save a penny.

    I'll support St Mirren until I draw my last breath, but I'll just continue to pay on the day for the rest of the season, if that's all right santa2.gif

    PS I'm not being mean - I'll be sending the raffle tickets in with a tenner...

  9. I want to get angry with Poz and rant about the need for boundaries to be pushed, horizons to be widened and artists to be respected...but I can't. I loved the show Bruce put on, but Neil was on another level, which struck a phenomenal chord with me (no pun intended (oh yes there was)).

    Maybe I'm a pretentious twit (spelt with an 'a'), but when 'Perfect Day' is used to raise money for charidee and 'Wild Horses' sells to millions of taste-free telly addicts...when Rolf Harris covers Led Zeppelin ffs...I thank the self-indulgent risk-takers and mould-breakers who will hold a chord on stage for 10 minutes. Yup, I think it borders on art. There - I've said it.

    I'd have loved to have seen The Undertones or The Ramones for their sheer energy, but I want the full spectrum of musical endeavour. Except Country and Western, of course. That's just wrong.

    And avant-guarde jazz. Wrong.

  10. Just back from Hampden, too. That's 3 times this year. Should have bought a season ticket thumbup2.gif

    Bruce was just brilliant - three and a half hours! That's bound to please a Paisley boy. Fantastic rapport with fans, great sound, amazing screens, wonderfully unpredictable set and incredible energy and stamina from a 63 year old.

    But...

    It was designed to be accessible. The Boss is a commercial giant. Saw Neil Young last Thursday and his gig was about musicianship. He's a musical giant. He plays gigs to entertain himself, not other people. Bruce is a star, but Neil is a supernova.
