North Lanarkshire Council are all over it. We’ve been told to go here at the first sign of a wheeze.

We already have our flight booked to Los Angeles to pick up the cruise, and our flight home from Vancouver following it. Also a couple of nights in LA and Vancouver hotels. We haven’t changed them, just cancelled the cruise. So, we looked for something land-based to fill in the gap between LA and Vancouver to simply replace the cruise. Got Southwest flights to Vegas from LAX for $45 each, and Westjet flights from Vegas to Vancouver. A doddle to book a Vegas hotel, so fingers crossed nothing else of a major disaster nature happens between now and May - leprosy, a plague of locusts, St Mirren renewing Tony Andreu’s contract.

I got two e-mails yesterday. One from Princess Cruises and one from the Hard Rock Cafe group. Both e-mails were to tell you that they are upping their cleaning routines, are using new cleaning products that kill anything that moves, and not to worry about going on one of their cruises, or eating one of their burgers..... then today, I get another e-mail from Princess Cruises offering a 100% refund, no questions asked, if we want to cancel our May cruise with them. OK then, wasn’t going to cancel the cruise, but seeing as how you made the first move.... cancelled ten minutes ago, off to Las Vegas instead.

Just read that Italy is in lockdown, sixty million people told to stay indoors. I might be missing something completely obvious here, but let’s say for talkings sake, the Rome Hilton hotel. Maybe one thousand people now stuck in that hotel? They will need fed, will want information, so I imagine the lobby / restaurant areas will get busy. That surely constitutes a gathering of people, and is a breeding ground to pass anything on, as everyone is now concentrated into a confined space. How is this going to help? Am I missing something? I must be missing something. Something so painfully bleedin’ obvious.

You go away for four days. You return. You have a swatch’ at P&B. You read that a Scottish club could become a plaything for Chelsea’s owners. You learn it could be St Johnstone.... you immediately navigate to the last page in the thread, to see any latest updates on this Fakes / Feeder Club story.... it appears St Johnstone are being targeted for a takeover by Hugh Grant, who was having his boaby’ sooked by a hooker in the car park at the crematorium beside McDiarmid Park. The hooker is called Brown. This all fits. Am I following the latest developments correctly? Gotta’ love a few days away from P&B.

Was never off the menu. The only thing that changes in our top flight campaigns is the name of the team we need to be even more shit than we are.

Sorry, I realise you weren’t being disparaging. I jokingly refer to many Scottish sides as ‘diddy teams’. Compared to some of our fellow diddies, we have a fanbase who have seen us actually win the two big competitions we at least have a shot in. Many of our fellow diddies haven’t enjoyed our level of success. I was merely blowing our diddy trumpet a wee bit (ooh err missus, Kenneth Williams gif...). Fair play to those diddy team fans who haven’t enjoyed even our level of success, but still turn out each week. Morton.

The underdog that many of us have seen win the Scottish Cup, League Cup, and some First Division titles, play in Europe a few times, and finish third in the top flight. I don’t count the Ramsdens Bells Petrofac Irn Bru Norn Iron Welsh Diddies and Old Firm Cnuty Colts Cup - an abomination of a cup competition, but that’s just my opinion. No-one need share it. Not too bad for a diddy underdog. I appreciate the likes of Celtic win our entire cup haul in a single season, every season, but they can fcuk off too.

I understand the idea behind trying to stretch, open up, and get in behind a team down to ten men. However, if you read my post, I was simply querying why we were watching Morais laying it off to Foley, who played it to Andreu, who played it to Fitzy, who played it to Paisley Panda in the dying moments of the game - when we had about two minutes of the five added minutes left. I’m not saying we should have starting pumping high balls towards the box from the moment they went down to ten men, just at the end when the referee was about to blow the whistle. We were frankly fcuking around side to side at that time. It hadn’t worked, it wasn’t going to work with 120 seconds left, Last chance saloon, quit fannying around and get the fcuking thing into the box. Morais in particular was partial to the sideways pass as time expired.

Routine 3-0 pumping. Jonny Ayes, Leig Griffits, Enrik Larsson.

Has that useless Scouse cnut handed in his resignation yet?

I need an explanation for one thing. Once Jim has made his substitutions (agree with them or not), and they are down to ten men, and they announce five mins added time, and three of them are gone... why the fcuk are we watching Morais play it sideways to Foley, who plays it sideways to Andreu, who plays it sideways to.... for actual fcuk sake. Get it forwards, quickly. Time was running out. Pump it up towards Obika. Something. Shoot. Do something other than piss farting around with two minutes left of added time.

Jersey sales?

Genesis at the Hydro on Dec 11 - tickets showing on the SSE pre-sale website as being between £68 and £181. The ‘mid price’ ones at £85 are still up in the upper ring of seats. Add on the booking fees and you’re looking at £92 for an upper ring seat. I’m out. Happy enough that I saw them in the Apollo on the 1980 ‘Duke’ tour (I think it was), plus the Abacab tour, and a Hampden gig too. Could spend nearly a hundred quid to find the setlist is heavily geared towards their latter ‘pop’ years too. Not like they need the cash either.

Stop what? Oh, I see it now.

All this mental buying of bog roll. Makes a change from fcukwits fighting each other in an English Tesco for a shite TV on Black Friday.

Will do.... ’Oh When the Saints....’

Feckin’ Sevco 2012 Franchise are at home. Better wash my hands for twenty minutes before tackling the M8 corridor tonight.

One confirmed in Edinburgh. Poor bloke has got it bad too. Just look at him.... never listened, and shook someone’s hand at kick off.

Game on. 3-3 now a certainty.

We’re not playing until tomorrow.

Need a couple of players to shake hands and get this abandoned - can’t be too careful.

Fcuk off Ross. Fcuk off McGinn. Fcuk off Naismith (Jason).

Hibs should be down to nine men. Allan was already on a yellow, plus the McNutter stamp.

Shite.
