Fife

But it also has a couple of beautiful beaches.

You have the Fife Coastal Path.

You've got some rolling green hills just to the outside.

And then you take this drive and you go all around to these other little fishing villages, the East Newt Villages, places like Pit and Weem and St.

I think some more people are starting to discover that, that there is more to St. Andrews than golf.

And

even to the whole kind of East Newt villages, this area of the region of Fife, there's beautiful places here.

I look forward to exploring more and more and more.

So what was that called? The box? So...

I was talking to Stephen Mills this morning and he was saying that he was like, how the fuck did you get the box? I'm not even allowed in the box, King of Fife.

Aye.

Does it say his name right, Stephen Mills?

yeah yeah I don't have dreams so the star bar in burnt island which is neither burnt nor an island no not even close to either it's like a bit of land that isn't on fire and has never been we've got Lochgelly library by the way when I done that gig it was such a dour vibe in the library doing stand up to nine people in the fucking travel section I went over to the co-op in Lochgelly and I've since found out via the r slash fife subreddit that it's known as a bit of a scary zone and yeah I seen a guy get carried out the co-op with arms under his oaks and people carrying his legs four people carrying a guy out a co-op wow a supermarché wow super as the Japanese would say

I think it's really good that people were doing that cooperatively yeah they really put the

name of it to the test Fife's crazy man well you had a theory last night when we were driving past what's it called Lossiemouth

yeah I think yeah the fucking like refineries and stuff like that and the salt flats I think it's less of a theory and more of an observational truth yeah the closer you get to those big fucking plants burning fumes the madder cunts get yeah I've done a gig so close to there like literally like the town closest to that place fucking

And according to Lorraine, her mom always had this knack for making her feel safe and secure.

After she was accepted into this dance training course, the family of five relocated from a rural area of Scotland to Dunfermline, Fife, which is a town along the east coast of the country.

And I would love to one day get to Scotland.

It just looks so incredibly beautiful.

Since Sean and Carol were doing well financially, they decided to buy a vacation home along the water.

So they purchased this fixed caravan or it's kind of like a trailer.

It looked like almost like a double wide or something at Pedicure Bay Holiday Park, which is a resort that sits along a large inlet on the south coast of Fife, which is about only 30 miles from their house, which was kind of nice because then when they wanted to get away, it wasn't like they had to drive for hours.

And

Here Selkirk is supposed to have kept watch fires burning to attract the attention of any ship that might pass.

The inscription reads as follows, In memory of Alexander Selkirk, mariner, a native of Largo in the county of Fife, Scotland, who lived on this island in complete solitude four years and four months.

He was landed from the Cinque Ports galley, ninety-six tons, eighteen guns, A.D. 1704, and was taken off in the Duke privateer, 12th of February 1709.

He died lieutenant of H.M.S. Weymouth, A.D. 1723, aged forty-seven years.

This Saturday, Manchester Storm are on the road again as they return to Scotland for the third time this season for what is their only game of the weekend.

After victories in Glasgow against the Clan and in Dundee against the Stars, it's off to Kirkcaldy where the Fife Flyers will provide the opposition in the Old Barn, as it's locally known.

But this season, it's not the Fife we've seen in recent years.

After the well-documented issues of last season in a troubled first campaign under new ownership, the club have restructured and are enjoying some great results so far this season under head coach Tim Wallace.

Their recent resurgence has seen them pick up full points against Sheffield Steelers twice over a weekend, an incredible 10-2 drubbing of Guilford Flames, and last week seemed to make easy work of Glasgow clan in a 4-1 win at Brayhead Arena.

Before Saturday's game, they hosted Belfast Giants in a midweek encounter, but what sort of five flyers lie in wait for the storm this weekend? Allan Crow, editor of the Fife Free Press, has watched and covered the team through good and bad over the decades, so is perfectly placed to tell us all about what's going on there now and the sort of team Cameron Critchlow's men can face.

But I started by asking about the difference in the club over the last 12 months.

Yeah, it's been a transformative change.
