RossP Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Best Result of the Year - Aberdeen 0 Inverness 2, opening day of the season, the guy in front of me and my friend repeatedly shouting 'GET OFF THE PITCH, YOU KEMNAY TINK to Darren Mackie'. He gave a great hug when we got the second as well. And constantly doing the Billy Bowden to the Dick Donald stand, yas.Not so much looking forward to this saturday's return leg however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Best 3 Bands heard this year for the first time - Fleet Foxes, The Miserable Rich, The Mae-ShiBest gigs this year - Slow Club @ King Tut's, Camera Obscura/The Twilight Sad @ ABC, Goldfrapp @ The Glasgow Royal Concert HallBest Releases of 2008 - Fleet Foxes - S/T Los Campesinos - Hold On Now, Youngster/We Are Beautiful,We Are Doomed Belle and Sebastian - The BBC Sessions Slow Club - Let's Fall Back In Love EP DCFC - Narrow Stairs Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Sunday At Devil DirtBest Result Of The Year - Ayr United 4 - Ross County 2. Man Utd beating Chelsea on penalties and John 'I'm 28 but don't tell my face' Terry slipping on the penalty spot. Waaayyyyy.Best Purchase - A flat (didn't actually buy the flat itself but rent is kind of a purchase...you get the idea). My Roland Juno-D synth. My new Christmas jumper.YAS MINS of 2008 - Had two cracking holidays in France including three days in Paris and four days up a mountain on the Swiss/French border which was ridiculously pretty. Spent a large part of they year between Aberdeen and Glasgow. Learned to play piano a bit. Got a degree. Finally managed to stop eating meat permanently after several failed attempts. Biggest Dissapointments - The realisation of actually having to get a proper job in the real world in about 4/5 months.Looking forward to in 2009 - Possible relocation to Glasgow. New albums from The Manics, Camera Obscura, M.Ward, Belle and Sebastian, Regina Spektor, Joanna Newsom and The Concretes. Hopefully going to Stockholm on holidays.
