    Grumpy the novel

    Long time no speak, comrades. Trust everyone's well.

    As some of you may know through other web channels, Sandy Macnair has a new book entitled 'Grumpy Gibby the West Stand Hibbie'. It's basically 250 pages of everyone's favourite torn-faced disaster from Mass Hibsteria on an uber rant about anything and everything. I do the prologue, which is thankfully only a few pages long. As ever with the garrulous old git, he finds himself in the most impossible situations, including a date with Beyonce Knowles (aka Bouncy) and appearances on Mastermind and Countdown. Is it merely a coincidence that 'loadypish' consists of nine letters?

    They're available to buy from the usual BB outlets, namely; Blackwells on the Bridges, 6 Yard Box on East Market Street and the club store. At £11.99, it's s bigger steal than the signature of Benny Brazil back in the 70's.

    Happy to accept mail orders too. £15 gets it delivered to your door in a lovely padded envelope, the padding coming from Gibby's cell in the Royal Ed. You can pay by bank transfer (87 70 04 - 83286368) or via PayPal at paypal.me/masshibsteria. Please send an email to masshibsteria@gmail.com to confirm your address - only way I know where to send it to if you're paying by bank transfer, andPayPal can be a bit of a hit and miss at times.

    Admins: if you'd prefer I didn't spam, please feel free to remove. If you don't mind, a wee stickie for a few days would be received with thanks!

    Please feel free to get in touch if you've any questions...

    PS - I'd do a pic of the covers, but in true Gibby style the technology has beaten me...

    I’m sure that it’s more of the same old pash.

    I can’t wait to get my copy 👍👍

    Just to add, I can’t believe that a post about a book by Grumpy has actually lifted the mood on the forum. If these youngsters had seen what we had to go through. 😂

    If Grumpy was a poster on here he would one of the milder contributors to the forum.
    Will get my order in this week

    It all pales in insignificance compared to Gibby's tales of woe! That's if he's to be believed, of course. And to be honest, I think he talks a loadyish*

    I bought a copy from Sandy in Robbie's after the gemme on Saturday. Can't recall if he said he'd have more with him at the St.Johnstone match, but has been known to peddle his literary works in the likes of the Iona, 4 in Hand, and Tamsons too.

    And his phone - the Nokia 3310's predecessor - doesn't work either!

    It's a good shout. We will be selling books in pub(s) this weekend. I'll update via this thread once we know which hostelries will be hosting.

    Loadypish. Too right. Can't believe what this forum has become. A few folk are way ott and the stuff grumpy Gibby had to endure would see this site explode. Stanton,I had better players in my primary school team. Made me laugh. The ayatollah ruffscranbevy of the hibsbollah was a classic.

    Never had any reason to disbelieve anything the moaning faced auld git ever told me, a more honest bloke you will never meet. Only last week, he was telling me over a pint (which I bought of course) that he has never been the same since he was killed during the Boer war, I could only agree with him.

    I would imagine Sandy will make a big effort in getting around most of the local pubs, purely to sell his books you understand as he is T-Total

    Aye but that's no a local hostelry. Which is where, by the sounds of it, BillyHibs would prefer to buy it.

    While not privvy to Sandy's pre-match plans, think he's usually Iona Bar or 4 in Hand. After the gemme he usually looks in to Robbie's. When I say "looks in"...
