Actually, FB, now we're mentioning it. Didn't the announcer say "fitba" - I thought that was the accepted pronunciation north of the border?

Fitba's regional. Not all Scots say it. In Central Scotland you will often hear 'footie' (with the 't' pronounced, not dropped like the English tend to), as on this occasion. Indeed, pronunciation of 'fitba' itself is hotly disputed. Scots Wikipedia has 'fitbaa'; most people I know would say 'fitbaw'. But fitba's common enough.

A T shirt slogan that amused me, and seemed apt for this place.

Because my Uncle WAS born in America and he actually DID escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

Or maybe it's a quote from the film Top Secret.

Jimmy Carter and Playboy: How 'the weirdo factor' rocked '76

Jimmy Carter’s Baptist faith was one of his calling cards in the 1976 presidential campaign. But it landed him in political trouble when he tried to explain his religious beliefs to Playboy magazine by discussing Biblical standards of sex and sin — and whether he could represent all Americans...

Jimmy Carter and Playboy: How ‘the weirdo factor’ rocked ’76​

he was certainly misunderstood, as his thoughts in the wide-ranging interview were reduced in the popular imagination to utterances about “lust” and “adultery.”

Carter spent five-plus hours with Playboy across several months — “more time with you than with Time, Newsweek and all the others combined,” the nominee told Scheer and Playboy editor Barry Golson.

The resulting Q&A spanned 12,000 words, and Scheer added thousands more in an accompanying story. Carter discussed military and foreign policy, racism and civil rights, political journalism and his reputation as a “vague” candidate.

“They weren’t interested in sensationalized stuff,” Scheer said of Playboy.

Hugh Hefner’s iconic publication reached an estimated 20 million-plus readers each month with its pictorials of nude women. But the magazine chronicled American culture as well, with its branded “Playboy Interview” featuring such power players as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, Malcom X and leading newsman Walter Cronkite.

Golson pressed Carter on whether his piety would make him a “rigid, unbending president” unable to represent all Americans.

The Baptist deacon responded with an 823-word soliloquy on human imperfection, pride and God’s forgiveness. He said he believed in “absolute and total separation of church and state” and explained his faith as rooted in humility, not judgment of others.

Quoting Matthew 5:27-28, Carter explained that Jesus Christ considered an offending thought equivalent to consummated adultery, and by that standard, he was in no position to judge a man who “shacks up” and “screws lots of women,” because he had “looked on many women with lust” and, thus, “committed adultery many times in my heart.”

Scheer called it a “sensible statement,” reflecting Carter’s Baptist tradition: “He was saying, look, I’m not going to be some fanatic. ... I’m not this perfect guy.”

Almost the opposite of Trump

Based on a frank exchange of views with one of NSCs more rabid (and stupid) right-wingers, until the solitary brain cell imploded, and deprived the other 9 right-wingers who were time-sharing it - could be time for a change soon.

Hmmm…
this must have been different than your signature at the time of posting or relevant I’m not sure…
OTMAPP “if you don’t like it feck off and die“ in 2007.

OTMAPP = Only The Meteors Are Pure Psychobilly & then their motto.
however possibly relevant because of the no politics stance and despite our perceived meathead following in their heyday psychobilles successfully fought right wing skull heads at gigs, even battering the NF on several occasions.
