  1. I gave up drink once.. worst five minutes of my life...

    No, I actually did give up for a month last year as a sort of pathetic attempt to lose weight. After the first fortnight I didn't really miss it although you do get fed up drinking coke, irn burn, orange juice etc with your mates after the football.

  2. The right wing press are all saying this Corbyn chap is a bit of a leftie. Imagine he got into power, I'd hope he'd be like Kim Jong-Un. He could televise the live shelling of Tories and Blairite Scottish Labour types on a Saturday night. It would be better than Strictly Come Dancing or the X-Factor that's for sure.

  3. Oh, the one where a bunch of people are walking around with wagging tails. A step away from furries inbred Highlanders being mainstream.

    FTFY

    All SUV adverts are stupid- you always see the drivers going on some adventure through muddy rivers etc. You never see the reality: some dizzy bint on the school run driving one in second gear and failing to signal while doing her make up and behind her is a queue of angry motorists stretching back several blocks..

  4. Funny how these gurus and "experts" get appointed to positions - I can remember that Beardie twat Branson being appointed to lead a campaign to tidy up Britain that died a death, and Mary Portas hasn't exactly rid our High Streets of Greggs, tat shops, charity shops and scheme goblins recently.

    I pinched this one off Lost Edinburgh's Facebook page (worth looking at if you're into the history of the Capital). It's Bathgate Park, which was build on top of the Old Town gasworks and used by the Edinburgh Junior FA until the mid 1920s when the New Street bus garage was built.

    It's strange to think there was once a football ground at the back of the High Street.

  6. I would agree with Consolidate- The Sons were solid enough although I'd be worried about the number of fouls conceded..

    Annoyed at the Spartans Catering for running out of pies at half time- almost as if our noisy neighbours aren't used to a big crowd... :rolleyes:

    I enjoyed pointing out Sons' goalkeeping coach Baldie Gallagher to a youngster "see him? he played with a defunct team called Clydebank.. in the Premier Division and all...!!!". It was like pointing out an actual living T-rex.. :lol:

  7. The east side of this rain band looks more interesting, from Lincoln up to Edinburgh storm cells appearing but the rest of it, meh nothing. Air is cooling with this cold front going through so a bit of relief for some tonight getting some sleep.

    Many of the forecasters looking forward to tomorrow to see what happens, Wales, the south west of England and the south east of England, no mention of Scotland.

    Still waiting to see what will happen this evening, might still be good for night time storms. See what builds.

    Below video of the golf ball size hail from the storm that went through Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales yesterday and the damage it caused.

    did anyone else think of the opening scenes in Flash Gordon watching that? Only Dr Hans Zarkoff, lately of NASA, has provided any explanation for these phenonema...

  8. I live on the other side of Arthur's Seat from that photo- I thought the hill was getting zapped quite a bit watching the flashes of lightning from the kitchen window.

    There were some good flashes to the south of the house- might have been the towerblocks at Craigmillar were getting it, I wasn't sure. The storm had the peacocks at Prestonfield House upset- they were mewing away.

    It was good to watch- free entertainment. My one thought was "I hope this isn't an omen for an England football team getting to a World Cup Final" but fortunately Japan won..

  9. My dad used to drive DAFs. Fortunately he never bought a second hand jizz stained 44 off a fat Manc...

    My mate bought a Nissan Micra off a bloke he knew. The passenger side wing mirror had a stick on mirror over the original and the story went that the owner had been shagging his bird when her stilleto heel broke the original mirror. There were cigarette burns on the back seat so perhaps that was caused by post-coital smoking.

    My ex had a D reg Vauxhall Cavalier- it was a roomy enough car but I never found there was enough space for it to be a proper shaggin' wagon.

  10. Could almost see the a rangers top under his clothes , seething fanny.

    didn't see Question Time but a baldy guy who says he supports one side when it's quite obvious he supports another- it wasn't Chick Young was it?

  11. In the 1970s Morgan Freeman was approached by Jeremy Hardy and Wincey Willis to go into partnership with a view to setting up a chain of shoe shops. He turned down the offer and Martin Freeman's dad took up the chance instead, the profits created by the stores allowing him to put his son through acting school.
