I like this thread. And to be fair I do like the name of many Scottish teams. Wasn't there a famous match where the commenator said 'they will be dancing in the streets of East Fife tonight' not realising that this was not a place.


I have actually seen a scottish match as well, Celtic vs Forest in the UEFA cup in 83 (old school knockout competition, which was more interesting than most of the current European competions). I stood in the Jungle and did not utter a word all night, but apparently half smiled when Forest scored their two goals and when asked how long to go mouthed the answer.

Alan Medic said

Queens Park Rangers is similar. (to Queen of the South)


Nonsense, Alan. Queen of the South is like poetry. QPR is just the name of a district in London (Queen's Park).

Queen of the South is SOOOOOO much better than calling the team Dumfries United.


You must agree!

You were kinda close, the commentator said "they'll be dancing in the streets of Raith tonight" when Raith Rovers from Kirkcaldy beat Celtic in 1994 I think it was in the League Cup.


East Fife are from Methil which is just up the coast from Kirkcaldy, the 2 teams are fierce rivals!

Edinburgh City play in the East of Scotland League along with Civil Service Strollers, Edinburgh University, Herriott Watt Uni and Lothian Thistle that are all from Edinburgh! I think Leith Thistle play in East of Scotland too.


Perth used to be known as St Johns Toun or something like that years and years ago.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
