The Official Nonsense Thread

Gala Fairydean Rovers. That's quite a name!

Their stand is really weird looking. It kind of looks like an open jaw that will clamp down and gobble up the people sitting in it. It is a Pacman stand! Good news for the club, though, if it reduces their maintenance costs. If people think it looks ugly they could always plant some trees round the back of it.

I don't think I've ever been to a football match and sat in a stand that didprovide protection from the elements! Maybe the ones at big stadia are better but I've never been to a live footy match of a big team. Our one at home keeps the rain off, if you sit in the back half of the seats, but it's the bitterly cold wind whistling through that chills you to the bone and there's no escape from that. I've been sat there lodged between my brother and my dad, wrapped up like I was going to trek to the Arctic and still been near frozen. But it's all good fun isn't it and then you really appreciate your hot sausage roll all the more.

Emil and the Detectives was really fun. Some bits were a bit scary but all the kids in the audience watched with rapt attention apart from one who hid in her dad's coat. There were a few school groups but they were very well-behaved. Good stuff.

Equally good was Richard II on Sunday. David Tennant was brilliant and very funny, with his long hair and his gold fingernails!
