Just Not Cricket.

It would appear that Carnegie's favourite cricket team aren't doing very well at the moment. Not so good. Carnegie wasn't big on cricket in his youth. He was too busy playing baseball.

"DUNFERMLINE Carnegie crashed to a second successive home defeat at Pitreavie on Saturday. Carnegie were asked to bat by Watsonians on a green looking pitch and got off to the worst possible start as star batsman Matt Lafferty was out to the first ball of the match ..."

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Carnegie welcomes the decision of Lauder College to rename itself Carnegie College from January 2008, after a survey found that people seemed to believe it was based in the Borders rather than Fife. The invoice for the useage of Mr Carnegie’s name and imagery is already in the post to the College’s Principal, Professor Bill McIntosh.

Welcome to That's Fife.

This blog has been inspired by the idiosyncrasies of Fife and the fact that, for a variety of reasons, the profile of Fife on the Scottish, UK and international stages has never been higher.

Fife boasts having the new British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown MP, as one of its Members of Parliament and most famous sons. Liberal Democrat Leader, Sir Menzies Campbell MP, is a Fife MP, and given the increased prominence of philanthropy, Fife can also claim to be the birthplace of arguably one of the world's most famous industrialists and philanthropists, Andrew Carnegie, who's generosity is still being felt nearly one hundred years after his death.

But as anyone knows, on crossing the Forth Road Bridge into "The Kingdom" and heading in the direction of Dunfermline Abbey where a dozen Kings and Queens of Scotland are buried, one of the first things encountered is the odour from a sewage treatment works ... and Fife is also one of the UK's "hotspots" for sighting Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

From the sublime to the ridiculous, this blog hopes to chronicle them all ... You'll have had your tea then?
