  3. Sky Broadband

    in Main forum

    Posted

    I use the full Sky package Pay an extra £10 a month for free calls 24/7. I'm quite happy with it. Check up what sort of download speeds you can expect to get in comparison with BT first though. If speed is more important than price, you may be better sticking with BT. But if the speed is the same or you don't mind too much of a difference, I'd go with Sky especially if you can get a good deal from them.

     

    Thanks for your help willjag

    The historic pub that most take in is the crown. It is opposite the Europa hotel. It is full of little booths all dark wooden panels. I have been to Belfast on business. Found it very friendly. The taxi drivers are characters.

    The new online British Newspaper Archive looks potentially great for historians. For full use you have you pay (them, not me), but here are a couple of freebie snippets:

    Retirement: Bring it on!!

    How much does it cost? Pity retirement will take a year longer to reach. But we are all in this together!

    Thanks to everyone who sent in their own teams, very much appreciated.

     

    Sorry. I voted for the goalkeepers, but there are so many omissions from the defenders etc there seems to be no point!

    Eddie Gray - Scotland v Cyprus 1969 and Scotland v England 1976

    Jimmy Johnstone - Scotland v England 1970, tore them to shreds and Scotland v N.Ireland 1972

    Gordon Banks - Scotland v England 1970 the only reason we did not score 6

    Since the team are training down in Teeside is there any chance there'll be another friendly in the region?

    York would be good. On the east coast mainline, good links to Glasgow and selfishly easy for me and other england based jags

  14. Denis Mcquade Article

    in Main Jags forum

    Posted

    I support Partick Thistle because religion is not involved and because of Denis McQuade.

     

    Everything said here about Denis McQuade, no matter how improbable it may sound to younger fans, is true.

     

    I have been lucky enough to see many scottish greats (Dalglish, Law, Johnstone Eddie Gray etc), but on his day Dennis was just unplayable and more than their equal.

  20. Anyone For Hawkwind?

    Posted

    I saw them at the Greens, way back in the day when Stacia used to get her massive ones out on stage.

     

    She must've had some sort of aversion to getting them out in Glasgow though. :(

     

    I was at that Gig and was similarly disappointed
