    Thanks for that fella, made my morning.  I haven't heard that for over 40 years, my mum had the album and I remember retelling the story at the school after I heard it because it was rude. Had absolutely no humour content when relayed in a West Fife accent. Was the coat story on the same album?

    The coat story being about the one with the sleeves in the Eiderdown ? 
     

    and here’s a fun start to yer day - enjoy 🤣🤣🤣

    We win 3-0, Thistle beat Airdrie by a couple and then we're all looking towards Friday night, thinking that Utd could beat Airdrie to clinch the title.  

    United win 4-0 and then all we need to do to take it to the last day is beat ICT at home...  1-0 Caley due to a last minute penalty, everyone in the team plays terribly.

    EXACTLY !!!! It really is that simple…..

    To be fair to DD (must I?), he's using a guid Scots word, certainly in the West of Scotland. He spells it slightly differently from the Scottish National Dictionary, but spelling has always been flexible - particularly in the West ...

    Spot On Stanza - I heard the word for the first time many moons ago from Billy Connolly on his first hit album “Solo Concert” - I think it was used in the “Ivan the Terrible” story where a wee six stone welder decides to have a go with Ivan the Terrible - the monster wrestler from abroad who was performing at the local Fairground ……. Needless to say - Shug the six stone welder gets the better of the big man by biting his willy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Remember where Statements got Ross Macarthur - hounded out the job by hooligans, spat at and insulted with family in tow and car vandalised - we have a responsibility to discuss things openly - in good terms - I think this forum does a brilliant job at that - Digs and Piracy have done a great job capturing what was discussed last night but as Digs said above - if you’d been in the room you’d have captured more of the semantics…..words don’t do it justice sometimes…

    I really hope this man turns it round as I think he's a decent guy who is passionate about his job at Dunfermline. Having sat in his company a few times now, I think he's sincere. Got my full support. 

    Anyone at the meeting last night would have got that - I hope we can convince the others likewise - let’s get behind James and pull in the same direction …

    I'd suggest that the recent noise from the Patrons meeting and on social media, and the email I sent were influencing factors in the club calling last night's meeting. They're obviously keen to quell any unease, which is the right thing to do. But I'm still not convinced by the answers given. That's my issue. 

    What would it take to convince you ? I thought David Cooks explanation of the losses were credible and contained just enough detail to quell my fears - I’m not sure what else he could have said to satisfy concerns - I thought he did a good job convincing me that GMBH were in it for the long term and that getting income increased and expenses reduced were a priority.
     

    Some things this year will have a huge impact to our numbers next year, medical bills, postponed games, loan players wages, energy costs etc so each season can be a lottery financial wise - I hope its maybe a wake-up call to be a bit more open about our costs and to keep fans onside with our Mission & Objectives - it helps when we are winning as well - less time to think about the concerns….

     

    great writeup from Digs and Piracy - my notes were detailed but would be wasting my time writing them up as you’ve captured all I’d written 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
