Sonoftherock Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 I fancy "Red Oak" for the first week... moving towards "Dark Walnut" by the end of his holiday.... ... however maybe this year he'll finally achieve full "Ebony!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefish100 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I reckon Dark Walnut has to be the target every year and any thing less will be seen as a disappointing close season. Jimmy's unrealistic expectations of Ebony will need to be reigned in however. If the unthinkable happens and only Provincial is achieved, next year could see him looking for a new holiday destination.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket_scientist Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I went for Jacobean, purely for the delicious irony given he is a hun. Provincial also hits that spot, given that he's not, as he reminded us often enough in his first couple of years in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajja Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'd say he will be looking for 235 in the early stages but will move to 224 if things aren't going as planned. Depending on how the final stages are developing he might throw caution to the wind and go 225. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Jimmy delivers with colourful return Published: 01/07/2008 THE first day of pre-season training at Aberdeen has become something of an annual event for the Scottish media. Yesterday was no different. Every year the journalists draw lots for the chance to visit the Dons and, in particular, catch a glimpse at the tan manager Jimmy Calderwood has managed to acquire during his stay at his summer home in Majorca. JC and his Sunshine Band did not let the supporters, or the media, down with his latest effort yesterday, a dark bronzed affair of spectacular quality. Even the club supporters get in on the act and this year a messageboard hosted a poll giving users the chance to vote on what shade their manager would be when he returned to Scotland. Ebony may have been the shade voted most likely but it was dark walnut which Calderwood came closest to matching. The nose and lips have been blistered while his eyebrows are bleached blond by the sun, but the refreshed manager insists his colouring could have been better. During his break, the Dons manager told the Press and Journal the weather during the first fortnight had been poor, despite displaying his new shade yesterday. With an 11-day tour of Holland to come, Calderwood may yet meet the lofty aspirations of the supporters who chose that ebony look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harcus Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Correct Spanish spelling yes. The english spelling is with a J. Much like the Italians call Naples-Napoli, Rome-Roma, Turin-Torino, Florence-Firenze etc Most languages have their own interpretation of a name. Italians call Edinburgh - Edimburgo, Dublin- Dublino and London - Londra. So I wouldn't bother getting upset about it dude. GD has been to Spain you know...
