  1. These people can f**k right off: Old women with wheeled shopping bags who can only walk in a diagonal down the pavement Bank of Scotland who advertise their branches are open until 7-00pm on a Thursday.....except there are no counter staff on, so you can only use the cashpoint machines, exactly the same as when the place is shut People who grow strawberries and melons that aren't sweet
  2. This. I can't imagine many worse holiday destinations than this place. And I've been to Fort William.
  3. In today's economic climate, a permanent job is better than gambling on a better paid but essentially temporary job. It doesn't take too many weeks of being out of work at the end of a contract to gobble up the extra cash you made....which you've spent anyway.
  4. Adverts on the TV showing something better quality than the one that has the price quoted (cars are a perfect example) or adverts for games that say "Not actual game footage", in small print. A TV advert for QP versus East Fife this Saturday wouldn't have a photoshopped Messi in a QP top (although we do have Vinnie Berry as an able subsitute!), because that would be misleading.
  5. As with all "left" parties, it'll disappear up its own erse as they all eventually squabble with each other. The SSP and all the various communist parties are excellent examples of this. Too much ego with the left, and no idea of how to work together. Although I think that the SNP have done a pretty good job (certainly compared to "Scottish" Labour, they have), they probably need someone to keep them on their toes...but I can't see RISE filling that role.
  6. I persevered with one of these trashy US reality shows -"Millionaire Matchmaker". The idea is that halfwit guys who have made a squillion quid from jobs that are of no real merit to the world ("real estate" or some psycho babble stuff for similarly insecure tossers like them) employ a dating agency to help them get a chick. Invariably the guys are social inadequates who have, by some cruel twist of fate, got loads of cash to compensate for their other deficiencies, and they get set up with a gaggle of gorgeous women who want to marry a millionaire, almost irrespective of how much of a tosser he is. You end up wanting to punch the screen.
  7. Tossers playing games on their phones without using headphones. You have that moronic tune playing constantly. A wee boy on the bus on Sunday got bored with the game and just left it on for the full 30 minutes of the journey. If his dad wasn't a big guy, I might have said something. Nah, I'm a wuss, I wouldn't have.
  8. I have to wrap myself in cling film before I put it on, but I look shit hot!
  9. Item at the checkout without a barcode, and it's the one and only item that the woman has. Rather than let the two supervisors who turn up deal with it and serve someone else (me, of course), the glaikit wee girl just watches them struggle with the problem. Big queue builds up and no one apologises for the delay. GTF!
  10. Gambled on buying a crackin' "Slim Fit" TM Lewin shirt at TK Maxx and I don't look an overweight b*****d in it. Result!
  11. FACT - hotels tell their staff to go with A as apparently the user uses something like one third less per jobby. Something to do with the momentum of the roll banging against the wall slowing down the number of sheets per tug. Every day's a school day.
  12. Surprised at the lack of sexist comments on here. Allow me to say - wid.
  13. People who walk about with their mobile phones flat and pointing in front of them to talk into, rather than on the side of their face up at their ear. What's that all about?
  14. She has got a cracking arse though. If I could look at it whilst they put the door in, I'd buy one. Even though I don't have a garage or a car.
  15. To be honest, I thought it was spelt peece. Maybe it's a Glasgow thing.
  16. Cheese peeces made with grated cheese. Now, I understand that it might be better for the makers to use grated cheese, but half of it falls out the peece, which is not a result for the person who's trying to eat it.
  17. Aye, the artist's impression is the one for the potential sponsors and the fans to "wow" themselves over. When it comes to actually building it, surprisingly it costs 25% more than the money they have, and the "local brick" becomes concrete and the overall spec dips outrageously. For reference, see every major building contract since the pyramids.
  18. People who produce coupons at the supermarket checkouts, particularly after they have handed over the cash to pay, and take five minutes to locate said coupon - "Oh, I know I've got it somewhere...let me empty my voluminous bag (oo-er!)" I didn't think these things existed anymore. Invariably it causes the operator stress and the whole queue is held up so that some skinflint can save 20 pee on a tin of beans. GTF with that.
  19. Spot on! There are bookies everywhere, either on your high street or all over the internet like a rash, because it's them that are consistently making money, rather than the punters who are losing. I don't gamble very much at all, but all the guys I know who do have tales of winnings....and none of losing, other than the occasional "Barnet did me for two thousand quid" type comments. Other than that, you never hear from guys on them losing. Refreshing (if depressing) to read the honest stories on here of guys who lose pretty regularly. It's a mug's game and irrespective of how much you enjoy it....it's still a mug's game.
  20. How many times do we hear that things can be sorted through "education"? People have a pretty good idea of what's not good for them - eating shite, eating too much, not taking exercise, drugs, alcohol, driving whilst being pished / doped up, gambling, drunk girls having unprotected sex with random strangers (aye, I'm jealous!)......even a complete imbecile knows that they're not good for you, yet loads of people just carry on. Education won't help. I don't have a real problem with the state trying to curb excesses where people don't / can't do it themselves. We're quite happy when the state intervenes to top up poor wages (not the best of examples after last week), but it's seen as a bad thing when they intervene to try to dampen down demand on things that ain't that good for you in excess. Online betting - one of the worst things that the internet has enabled us to do.
  21. To be fair, that's "Upper Toryglen", the bit near the watersports complex and the 5-star "nae riff-raff" spa resort.
  22. Guy I know said that if they were giving the world an enema, they'd stick the thing into Greenock. Seems harsh.
  23. Unfortunately, with people being allowed to carry on almost anything, the space in the overhead lockers is at a premium. That's the only reason that I would rush on....but I'm getting better at just waiting until it all dies down.
  24. To be fair, she looks exactly the same as about 50% (and rising) of British women her age.
