h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, F1 is good.. But the chances of me ever going to try it out is very miniscule (unless I go to WHS and fork out lots of money for about 10 minutes in a sucky car), while I can play American Football and even try to be good at it.

And I don't think Em's gonna be happy that you called her a boy.

Am not a boy am a girl and my name's Emily!

I'ts been that kind of day already, and the fact that I called her a boy is just about right for this kind of day....(and it's only eleven...HELP)
Please do not take offence, normal service has been well and truely shafted..

Oh, BTW.. American Football is still a lot more fun than Rugby.

Head over/up/down to Forthbank Stadium in Stirling on Saturday to see some non-contact football.

It's a bit far from Nodnol really...

bit far from Blair and all

*suddenly wonders how she had managed to miss the Stirling Stadium....having lived near there all her life.. ??????*

I'm not sure if it's a Stadium, Zantic. It might be more of a Leisure Centre Complex thing. I dunno..

Anyways, I'll be there, and it's a way away from Largs as well.

I missed it because I'm 17, have no money and have absolutely no chance of getting down

I suspect it's a stadium in the same way that Brockville is a stadium, i.e. it holds more than five people at a time.

I was amazed to come back to Falkirk after a year and discover Brockville was still standing...

Yeah, it could be something like that. I dunno.. I've only been in Stirling twice, and that was to go to the castle with my family. You know, just sight-seeing.

Not for much longer though EV...at least I don't think so. But they've been muttering things about it for the last ten years or so...

At least the bypass has actually been finished now...

That doesn't explain why they're digging it up again though.

Forthbank Stadium is the home of Stirling Albion F.C, and is at the bottom of Springkerse Road I think, unlike Brockville it isn't a dump.

It's Stirling...it doensn't really run to dumps...well, unless you count the main shopping road, where the renovation of the buildings caused all my favorite shops to close..

I don't think I've ever actually stopped in Stirling, seen it fly by in the car hundreds of cars when off to visit family in Glasgow.

Bar the castle and the Albert Halls, there is very little to Stuirling these days...unless it's changed greatly in the last three years.
Mostly folks go there to the mega mall to visit all the same shops without going to either Edinburgh or Glasgow.
However, about 10 minutes drive out the back of Sutirling is a wonderful little village with micro brewery, deli and bucher, all of which are top class A one. Much more worthwhile than Stirling...

This appears to be day of rant...ho hum..

hehe ranting can be fun

Stirling - the only time I've been there was to visit the tower and see Willie Wallace's big chopper *fnar*

I really should be doing some work at the moment, but I've been doing demonstrating in first year engineering labs all afternoon. I seem to have lost the will to live now. Anyone got some to spare?

Nope, fraid not.
