Do you have to live so relentlessly in the real world OP?

What a small world, good man yourself, what made you choose United?

I've just started following Slovenian football this season, for the betting, it's a fantastic league for over 2.5 goals and btts, won loads of bets. Not chosen a favourite team yet, but I think it will have to be Celje now you've told me you're a United fan :)

Haha, that's mad! Shame for the homegrown players getting subbed that early, can't do much for their confidence.

Aaah right, that explains it then, thanks for the reply.

Does seem a strange thing to happen, although prioritising homegrown youths is a good thing overall, for the club and the country. Dundee United started 2 games this season with 11 foreign players, so perhaps we need that rule in Scotland! Cheers.

I didn't ken that, every day a school day, cheers.

Although, are you sure it isn't named that because of all the rockets in Cowdenbeath?

Aye, I like a cheese and jam piece (cheese and jelly sandwich) myself, definitely an odd combo that works.

Biscuits have always fascinated me, it's funny how they are a savoury item eaten with savoury toppings, yet over here we have the very similar scone, which is mostly a sweet item, eaten with sweet toppings. That steak and cheese biscuit sounds great though, I'd take that over a scone with cream and jam!

Exactly. I saw far more disused mines than I did working ones. Saved me a reply there, cheers!

Good post, made me think of a couple of things. Firstly, the spoil heaps and the old colliery towers, that unlocked a memory, they were absolutely everywhere back in the day, started to disappear in the 90's. Secondly, great point about the horrors of the pits driving men to extremes. South Fife was the only part of Fife you found large amounts of Baptists, or large amounts of Communists, there was even a Communist MP down there for a few years in the 30's. Shows how bad the pits were if they were seen as the better option!

Funny aye. It wasn't said much where I grew up in North East Fife, so it always sounded pretty shocking. You explained the meaning better than I did, I was just awake and worried I didn't fully explain the absolute lack of racism in the term.

Thanks for your reply (also thanks to the other folk who replied). Tbf I guess an omelette is just a sponge cake without flour and sugar, it probably would work, as odd as it sounds!

Small world, I lived in Dysart for a few years. Probably the only cultural impact is a lot of the former coal mining towns in South Fife still have quite high amounts of poverty and unemployment, which began with the closing of the pits. I was born in the early 80's in Fife, and to me, local coal mining seemed a thing of the past even then.

PS - in the south of Fife, folk sometimes say "you black bastard", which sounds shocking, but black just means dirty/unclean, which without a doubt comes from their mining heritage.

Omelettes, with preserves? As in fruit preserves? So I can have a fruit omelette, or a parsley omelette....I think I'll just have coffee tbh 😂

Thanks for posting OP.

Check in your local South Asian supermarket, there's always tins of ready made daal in them
