... and there we have it formally proven tonight. Unable to get a result whenever one of the bigger teams is involved, a trait that is truly useless moving ahead. That's now a complete failure to beat Fraserburgh, Formartine, Bo'D and Buckie, having two attempts to turn over the latter. Completely unacceptable.

Eatin' ain't cheatin', You should know that sucking ain't f***ing.

Watching some of these answers come in hours apart whilst being banned from the thread is absolutely infuriating. [replace Austria with place in picture]

My mum got written out of my grans will, with the other three siblings getting a third each. Absolute grenade that caused a long term rift* when one of them wanted to honour his mum's wishes. *ie. only spoken again once since, at a family wedding years on.

It's not really. As I say, in a way it's kind of good that it forces me to go out and rely on myself. I'm sure there will be folk out there who'll have been reliant on inheritance, only to be written out of the will over some petty grievance.

My dad's* estate will now need to be split six ways rather than three after his remarriage, and what's left of my mum's (after she downsized to pay her debts) will also be six ways because of her step-kids. Gone to six people I've barely met. *same situation for him after his widowed dad remarried. Gone from three-ways to a seven-ways for him. Apparently there's a fair bit of family politicking over bits and bobs there from his step-siblings seeing as his wife had most of their estate originally.

Germans making their 1s look like badly written 7s (hence the strikethrough on the latter to stop them confusing themselves).

The pop from of a newly-opened jam / marmalade jar.

16/03/24: Turriff come from behind at Mackessack Park to finally offload the tattie after keeping it warm for a month. New holders Rothes will need a performance should they wish to quickly offload it at Fraserburgh this coming weekend... ETA: which they fail to do courtesy of a 5-0 drubbing.

Cheers. Ultimately doesn't matter now seeing as I'm stuck out in the Atlantic Ocean, and the MIL already sent herself off to Nova Scotia a fortnight. OH: She won't travel by herself, so we'll need to go with her. [1 month later] OH: she's booked herself a flight to Canada for next week.

Definitely an improvement on the previous paintwork : Eta: I didn't ask for these powers.

Is Price even able to turn this side into one capable of remotely challenging in either of the playoffs (should they even get there) between tonight and the end of the HL season? I strongly fear not.

Eh?

People who mumble something and then immediately put food in their mouth. ETA: plus obligatory hand over mouth gesture when you ask them what they said.

Not quite as good as the Elgin City fan at Ibrox, but some top moves in here. Give me this 'The Dance Show' over Strictly any day, with the routines at 1:19 & 6:05 being worthy of honourable mentions: ETA: Impossible not to smile at the 2min mark

Fixed for me. That said, I've only ever seen the 80s films and JJ Abrhams' character assassination efforts. Never bothered to watch the original series despite having Paramount. Tbh, I wouldn't bother with the Mandalorian even if it was free on my Fire stick, despite knowing the original trilogy almost word for word. I always see spin-off series as being for the type of folk that got past the first half hour of the Matrix 2 (whatever it's called).

Mac n' Cheese There have been multiple occasions whereby I've actually fancied it off the menu, but not ordered it because of the M n' C wording. Yes, I'm that petty. Petty, but principled.

Another storming of the Capitol Building probably isn't the best way of encouraging democracy and political stability elsewhere tbf.

Have they not invoiced the SFA for the Celtic game yet, or did they blow it all on an epic night out after beating the Broch?

Hmmm. Too discrete, huh. Well fear not, for I have passed 10 mins of nightshift boredom by tastefully designing a prototype club crest for any near-future club merger: In it is the Kessock Bridge; the critical piece of infrastructure that links the Fortrose & Strathspey areas. This crosses some wavy waters which ingeniously doubles as an outline for Nessie. The latter pays homage to the Loch Ness FC heritage, whilst the thistle-turned-football reflects the Strathy Jags legacy. The acronym represents the club's ambition by preparing for the arrival OF fans who may struggle to read the surrounding text.

Hence the catchy acronym.

It's really quite incredible that you still can't get your head around this. Clubs: pitch looks playable enough, everyone here's in agreement. Ref: Naw it isnae. Clubs: What's the issue? Ref: That soggy patch there [points finger] Clubs: What if you give us an hour or so to treat it to the overly-high standard you're after, saving everybody a whole additional midweek evening & night? Ref: I acknowledge your chronic backlog, the several thousand collective road miles the away fans/players have already made, and the extra time & considerable expense this will entail, but my tea might get cold. Clubs: Aww come on. ...

Badenoch And Strathspey Thistle And Ross District FC The merchandise alone would make them a minted global sensation. You know it makes sense.

The inconsistencies in the Sky updates. Example below where Annan get their Athletic, but Dunfermline don't. The length of the Annan v QoS line above shows that space isn't an excuse. Scandalous.
