Aye, cuz everyone else would have been thinking "At least am guaranteed to beat that thick b*****d!"

Uup, here he goes!...

Didnt take long! First attack in the SNP! Fud.

At least he'll change his tune from "Bloody immigrants" to "Bloody shitty FPTP system".

Read 3 novels this month, which for me is unheard of! I go through phases where I will fancy reading but it soon fades away. Although I've discovered James Patterson and I like his style: short chapters. It encourages me to keep reading as it's only a couple of pages at a time. The last 3 I read were:- House of Bones by Graham Masterton It was the novel that's gotten me back into reading, so I can't slate it. I wasn't overly impressed though. It did keep my attention but I was hoping for more scares. I was only scared once throughout the novel. It got a bit silly for me nearer the end, but overall I would say it was decent enough. 5/10 Don't Blink by James Patterson My first ever Patterson novel and it had be gripped from the beginning. A basic plot is that a journalist is sitting at the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses a hit by a mobster on another fella. The story is basically him avoiding death as he gets in too deep. It's very riveting throughout and you wonder how the guy manages to avoid death (it's written mainly in the first person, so that's not a spoiler). The short chapters were a massive tick for me and it went a long way to keeping me interested. It also encourages Patterson to make each chapter end on a cliffhanger; which he does in almost every chapter. Quite impressive when you think that there are over 100 odd chapters. I really enjoyed this and it introduced me to Patterson's work. 6.5/10 Guilty Wives by James Patterson I have to admit I enjoyed this one even more than Don't Blink. Again I was hooked from the beginning. It focusses on 4 women (wives) who go for a weekend at Monte Carlo. They are well off, but not snobby. They meet up with 4 dudes and head back to a yacht. They are awoken in the morning by the police, the army and all sorts. Turns out two of the guys they had shared the night with have woken up dead. With all the evidence pointing to them. It's made even worse when we find out who one of the deceased turns out to be. So from there we see one of the woman trying to figure out who set them up and why. Definitely a gripping read. My biggest gripe with the book is that it's not a surprise really as to who has done this to them. Patterson made it pretty clear early on (at least to me) who had done this. Nevertheless there are twists and turns galore throughout the novel and it would be a recommendation of mine. 7.5/10 Currently reading Patterson's Along Came A Spider. I watched the film years ago and thankfully can't mind much about it other than the plot. So far I've been engrossed again

Pished myself when I first watched this scene. So true!

Glass of water: Left hand Anti-psychotic medication: Right hand

The Conjuring?

Haha!! Superb!

You're obviously not a driver. What's worse than this is approaching a crossing and being stopped at a red light with no fucker in sight. Infuriating! So as a rule of thumb, if I ever press the button at a crossing (that isn't a loop system) I will wait for the green guy, even if no cars are coming. I'll also wait for the green man to come up if there are young kids waiting, just so I set a good example

^^^^

Red means go now m9. Didn't you get the nationwide memo?

(Just quote you here). Gregory Peck is excellent in To Kill A Mockingbird and fully warranted his Oscar. We read it at high school and then watched the flim. Bizarrely, Peck was what I had pictured Atticus to look like! I can't recall it all that well, but for a black and white film being shown to a group of miserable 15 year olds it certainly kept our attention. I really enjoyed it, I can recall that much. It's an outstanding performance from both the actor playing Atticus Finch and the actual character himself

The title was clearly missing 3 X's after "Wars" then aye?

TBH it's not just the U20's who receive such low 'wages'. I know an ex-first teamer who left because he was getting not much more than what's been mentioned. I was pretty shocked when I found out. The guy certainly wasn't a regular but he was in the squad.

Nice one dude! Get saving! They're expensive fuckers

Just had a random (using the word literally for a change btw) survey by a guy for the Scottish Government about the justice system and crime. Just starting and his 3rd or 4th question was "Have you ever been sexually assaulted?" Me (someone who is next to never serious outside of work): "No.....Am no geed looking enough":-

Yaaas! Any excuse to get some Rachel pics up Keep um coming boys!!

TBH the greatest QoS player of recent times was a little on the heavy side, so I'm sure we won't hold it against Millar

No bad, but... Wins it for me

There was a couple of classic episodes on tonight that I recorded. Some of the old episodes really were comedy gold and you appreciate the less subtle comedy each time you watch them. I just watched the scene below and was laughing for a solid 5 minutes. One wee picture has so much going on that once I got over one funny thing I moved onto the next and laughed again. 1) Skinner: "And special awards go to two students who obviously had no help from their parents..." The fact it was oor Homer who made it is is enough to make you burst out laughing. 2) WTF has Homer actually done?! Is it polystyrene or mattresses or what? 3) He's made no effort to make it look tidy, even though it's his best effort. The sticky tape everywhere! 4) I like the wee orange being taped on, Homer thinking that'll gain brownie points! 5) "Floreda" 6) And last of all, the bit that made me laugh the longest: a bit of A4 stuck onto Ralph's chest. His parents obviously thinking 'f**k it, it'll do!' and poor Ralph is sent packing. Superb stuff IMO.

Would seriously get a GP appointment.

Sounds like a brain tumour tbh.

Either that or his cat will be in great danger aye?
