Some Random Observations and Notes After 2 Weeks in Dundee

There is some quite significant differences between Dunfermline and Dundee, on a Sunday the city centre of Dundee is still quite busy, busier than Dunfermline during a weekday even, on a Sunday in Dunfermline you could launch tumbleweed down Dunfermline High Street pretty much unobstructed unless Dunfermline are at home as women try to get out of their man's way as more often than not there is some very angry Pars ( though hopefully not that often this season).

There is also quite a bit of difference between Travel Dundee and Stagecoach Fife as well as Travel Dundee being better value and quicker their warning signs on their emergency exits are much better as well, Stagecoach Fife: Penalty for improper use: a fine I can't remember the value of.  Travel Dundee: improper use could result in serious injury or death.  Haa !!!  Telt  !! ( To borrow a phrase from http://dundeebarryleighgriffiths.blogspot.com/,  read it it's hilarious and dundeebarry is a guid cunt).

When I go to Tesco I have to walk through an area called Charleston which I have told is less than reputable and I can see why, first off it contains a street called Leith Walk which is never good and it looks like Abbeyview during the late 80s/early 90s which if you're unfamiliar with Dunfermline was the worst possible place in Dunfermline during those years, it has done something to try to restore it's reputation but you know mud sticks.

When I'm out of Dunfermline for any particular length of time then I tend to develop a soft spot for a local team and while I'm a Par first and foremost and always will be I feel myself leaning towards Dark Blue rather than Tangerine which is quite strange as I've always liked the colour orange/tangerine and admired the way United play and always wanted a shirt in that colour as despite my extensive collection of shirts I don't have one and getting one will be a mission I will embark on during my stay in the City of Discovery.

Having asked the good users of football site Pie and Bovril about when I should expect my student loan I feel a wee bit more comfortable about my finances but will fully relax when I see it in black and white from the Student Loans Company as I am desperate to get to Stark's Park on Saturday and have a few pints with the likes of Wedge( who I still owe a pint from last season at Stenhousemuir), Lawman and Lee in the Abbey.  The away stand on Pratt Street is going to be rocking #  Enough, enough, six fingers up her...#  oops that's a bit rude, better not...
