    Anyone recommend a good tasting shake / drink as a meal replacement? Looking to take the thinking out of lunch and avoid hunger-induced chippy buying 

    I'd recommend Protein works. Their meal replacement shakes are excellent. I also have their savory range of meals too.

    There was no irony.

    He mistakenly thought the pay-rise was actually £33 per month.

    ETA. What dictionary are you using for the word irony anyway? Why would you think his comment was irony? Smartarse maybe. Irony though? 😆

    I'm pretty sure I know how much my pay rise is.

    And the very people who actually believe in that principle will be the first in line to complain when fares rise and public service cuts are made to pay for it all - as though the two things are somehow not connected.

     

    Shouldn't be much of a price hike to pay a few drivers an extra £33 a month, should it?

    Makes you wonder if all the disruption and the loss of pay by being on strike was worth it given that they could have had 4.2% almost 2 months ago.

    For someone on £50k all the disruption has earned them just £33 a month before tax and NI.

    Was it really worth it for under £20 a month net or just over a tenner a month net for someone on £20k ?

    Except no one went on strike and the 5% is backdated to April. So is the £195 monthly target bonus.

  5. Dpd driver got stabbed in Hamilton today by some jakeball. Total shame, guy is sound as f**k - waz his name is, he's done almost all Dpd deliveries I can remember. 
    Anyway, someone has set up a gofundme for him, and it's about 4k already. What I want to know is, how do gofundme make sure the money gets to the correct person in this type of situation. I wouldn't mind chucking some notes in but I'm loathe to do so if it's easy scammed. Anyone know the answer to this? I suppose this should be in the quick questions thread but the gofundme is on fb and it annoyed me a bit, so here I am. It doesn't look like the page owner actually knows the guy
    I'm the drivers brother in law. The page has been set up by a friend of Waz's sister, so its all above board. He's been overwhelmed by people's best wishes and generosity.
    He's still in hospital but recovering well.
  6. So what teams do people on here like to follow.

    I know Kris likes Parma and everyone hates Juventus


    I've been following Bologna for 14 years or so, and built up a nice friendship with some of the Bologna groups. We've had a few coming over to Fir Park now and again too.

  7. I clearly meant metaphorically and not literally.
    Bet you all piss yourself when Frankie Boyle has a laugh at the expense of disabled- sex abuse victims etc. But then when Trump makes sexist comments you all suddenly develop a conscience.

    I don't recall any Frankie Boyle jokes about disabled sex abuse victims, but I think there is a huge difference between a comedian and the US president, making cunty comments.

  8. He speaks like your average guys guy does. I would rather have someone that was down to earth and spoke like normal people than some media crafted bore that pretended to be someone he wasn't.

    Really? The average guy says things like "You can do anything… Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything"

    I think you hang around with some creepy fuckers, if you think that's normal.
  9. Sometimes the only honourable thing left to do is to cut your losses and move-on.

    As a direct result of the way Parliamentarians mischaracterised the Liberal Scotland in Europe motion, I have intimated my resignation from the Scottish Liberal Democrats.

    Open to nomination for any P&B party if there is any politician you'd like me to stand behind as they are politically decapitated in an election near you.


    Surely no one would be surprised at this? You've always been a Tory at heart.
  10. Needing some advice regarding these boxes, when I bought mine a guy gave me it fully set up with Wookie and all the options were there and all I had to do was click exodus or whatever and it works. 

     

    My dad has just bought a box on my advice and the guy at his work has just sold him it with no build included on Kodi. To say he is useless with tech stuff is an understatement. The only problem is I am not very clever when it comes to these boxes either as mine came pre set up. 

     

    Help!!!!


    YouTube will tell you everything that you need to know
  11. Not for me :lol: but you know as well as I do that the safety stance is a load of pish or we wouldn't be opening the doors by ourselves.

    Surely, even with your Union hat on you can't see this as a winnable battle?

    Completely disagree, the safety stance is not a load of pish. How many passengers get trapped in doors, in driver only trains? The current system of using steamed up/dirty mirrors is an accident waiting to happen. Even using external or in cab monitors only gives the driver a limited view of the platform. I work driver only and with a guard. I can assure you working with a guard is much safer. 

  12. The RMT are being disingenuous by claiming that this is primarily a safety issue when 60% of scotrail services currently run with the driver operating the doors just as safely as they do with a conductor operating them and have done for the past 30 years.

    Conductors will retain the same terms and conditions and the same salary but with reduced responsibilities, the only difference will be that future entrants will be employed as ticket examiners rather than conductors. Maybe the RMT is concerned about a reduction in income from subscriptions due to the lower salary scale of ticket examiners.

    You in for a gaffers job?

  13. EXTREMELY URGENT !!! We must FORCE Chinese monsters to SHUT DOWN a horrible massacre of sweet doggies and cats in Yulin's Dog Meat "festival".

     

    Did you know, every year, on the summer solstice, over 10000 of sweet doggies and cats are rounded up to be SADISTICALLY TORTURED AND MURDERED by Chinese monsters Yulin, China as part of a Barbaric Dog Meat “Festivalâ€? We believe that this cruel “festival†has no place in the 21st century. There are so many reasons to end this horrific festival -- warning, the following information may be upsetting. Many of the dogs that are killed are stolen household pets or are watchdogs of rural families. Allowing the Dog Meat Festival to continue is like endorsing dog theft, which supplies the dog meat industry. The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is also a dangerous food safety issue. Dogs sold on the market are sick, poisoned and dying animals. They suffer from horrendous conditions during the long distance, trans-provincial journeys, many days without food and water and may carry contagious disease. We appeal to you to act in the interest of public health, food safety, animal welfare, and the image of Guangxi and China. The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is a business operation that undermines the national and public interest. The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government is at a historical juncture. The Dog Meat Festival must end. By signing our petition, you’re joining a global movement with like-minded people who want to shut down this heinous festival and trade. In the coming weeks and months, you’ll have the opportunity to be involved in both online and in-person events happening around the world.   

     

     

     

     

    Maybe if they weren't so sweet then nobody would eat them.

     

    Sweet and sour, surely.
