Forgetting that Easter Monday is still a holiday here even though nearly 60% of the population is either agnostic or athiest, meaning that the majority of shops and all banks are closed. I'm completely out of cash after my pickpocketing 'experience' last week which meant I now have yet another tab to pay off at my local
Back at work today

I hate the BBC news. Have you seen what the woman on there is wearing this morning! She says she trys...Not fucking hard enough.
Being talked out of bet for a 2-1 Scotland win and a Ross McCormack opening goal by my mate, who reckoned Kenny Miller was due one. I should have gone with my gut instinct. The last time I listen to him

Knowing
New Nicolas Cage thriller from the maker of "I, Robot" and "The Crow" where Cage plays a lecturer who discovers that supposed random numbers that were found in a school's time capsule relate to dates, co-ordinates and number of deaths for every major disaster, including 9/11, the Oklahoma bombing and Lockerbie among others.
What he figures out is that there are two more impending disasters and something far more catastrophic is on the cards and that the fate of the world rests in his hands.
75% of the movie is pretty intriguing and the scenes with a plane crash and a subway train crash are particularly well done and you are left wondering just how the hell this is going to end.
The last 25% is when you left thinking "what the f***?" and actually ruins the rest of the movie. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.
It was on a lovely 7/10 until the last quarter and dipped badly to a 4/10 by the end.

No live football matches on a Sunday when the internationals are on. After Goals on Sunday I've had to contend with River City and Only Fools and Horses repeats on G.O.L.D.

That's a true fan. Feck all of this anniversary pish, there's a game to be watched!
The fact that the game was taking place in Earths arsehole makes it even better.
Coffee everywhere...keyboard drenched. Brilliant!

All 's.
I like going to games with the wife - over the past five years of dross it's been her enthusiasm that's kept me going quite often.
I mean, what woman wouldn't want to spend her 6th wedding anniversary eating a cauld pie while staring at a derelict power station as the smell of raw sewage wafts in from the shore in Methil?
You have a marriage from heaven, sir. I tried to educate Mrs D on the etiquette of Scotland games when we first went out and after a couple of Hampden excursions, vowed I wouldn't take her again. She did the unwritten rule of Old Firm fans at Scotland games and booed Rangers players wearing the dark blue.
Unacceptable behaviour

I made mine watch hours of MOTD to ensure that all the basics were covered before she was allowed anywhere near a Raith Rovers match.
She's been to 2, 2 draws that we should have won. She's no getting back.
Mrs Doctor supports Celtic and can't understand why I go to random games. Do I win for misery?

Phoning 3 to give notice of my intent to finish with them in 30 days so I can get myself an iPhone to have the fella do his best Del Boy and flog me a phone that quite clearly isn't the one I want.
Me: "I would like to end my contract with you, therefore I'm starting my 30 day notice period."
3 Person: "I'm sorry to hear that, Mr Doctor. May I ask why?"
Me: "I'm getting another phone on another network. Specifically an iPhone with O2."
3 Person: "I can offer you this other phone which is similar, which we can do for you cheaper and we'll throw this and that in as well."
Me: "I see. Tell me something, is it an iPhone?"
3 Person: "Well, no, because we cannot offer the iPhone..."
Me: "Then I don't want it then. Please may I have my PAC code"
3 Person: "Are you sure, sir? This phone is very similar and...."
Me: "Is it an iPhone?"
3 Person: "It's not, I'm afraid"
Me: "Then I don't want it. Am I not making myself clear? Please can I have my PAC code"
It took me another three times to tell him I didn't want the alternative he was offering and I eventually weedled my PAC code out of him. What part of "I don't want your phone" was he not getting?

Mind you Black Pudding,the mainstay of the fry up is now appearing on fancy menus,as a starter.
With mixed leaves and onion chutney. And very nice too.
Next it'll be scrambled egg tart and beans souffle

Old people....
You had me there. Now I need to fight these old buggers for a seat on the bus and as I've been working for a living and pay for my seat, like a good citizen, I'm expected to give them MY seat when they can walk round the shops all afternoon.
f**k that!!

Going to bed feeling wiped after a long day at work, followed by a gruelling session at the gym. Just staying awake long enough to see the outcome of the Champions League games to find you can't bloody sleep
I'm shattered. If I'm crabbit during the course of the day, then f**k OFF!!!!!

Your turn this morning Doc
Mind i know what you mean,my car was off the road last week and the buses were freezing. Also why does First Scotrail run commuter trains out of Waverly with only 3 coaches?
It seems abundantly clear that First Group are just a shower of wanks and we're paying for the privilege

When the bus is colder than being outside and the driver is sitting in his wee cab all snug in his shirt. Share the heat, ya p***k!
I asked him if he was all warm in there, but he sensed my sarcastic tone and told me to f**k off.
Good old First Bus, where customer relations is the pinnacle of their business!

I know Doc, what i could do with a battalion of Daleks.
All i ask for is a bit of common sense. Not much eh??
But surely a man of your integrity would know the words "Traffic Gestapo" and "common sense" wouldn't normally go in the same sentence, except in this instance

Edinburgh's traffic Gestapo(wardens).
We have half the city centre being dug up,loading bays are scarcer than members of the Mixu fan club,and yet they are on you before you engage the hand brake.
And can you reason with them? well er no ! I'm not sure what charm school NCP send there staff to but it leaves a lot to be desired.
Still as long as everything is sorted by the summer for the tourists. The people that live and work here can go to F**k as far as the council is concerned.
Morning capy, that's some pickle up your arse this morning

I've been interested in reading some of the posts on here, although I am myself not much a runner.
I did enter a marathon many years ago, but it took the surgeons at least four hours to remove the peanuts from my foreskin

Nae wonder the insurance is that high, look at the shite you've got stuck to it. Take that stupid body kit, wheels and mirrors off, and it might drop to a reasonable price.
I'm really fucking angry. As you might be able to tell. My nose hasn't stopped running since about 5pm, my head is sore, and i'm either freezing or roasting. I've now got the wee red dot that you get under your nose when you wipe it too often, and it's sore as f**k. Lemsip ain't working, either.
And that bloody STV Jobs advert of those c***s doing the Haka - "Give me a, Give me a, Give me a job" If i see it once more, i will put a shoe through the TV.
I'm away to bed, and I AM NOT getting up at 7am for school. Infact, f**k school, it's shite tae.
Bet you don't

Folk that let their children run riot around Tesco.
I was so close to volleying a rather small human being into the Pickled Red Cabbage. And its Maw !
Don't come on here and mention unruly children. I was slaughtered for it the other week when I mentioned there was one greetin' faced wee shite screaming his head off on the bus.
It's inevitable some smart arse will come on with "Well I dare you to go up to the parent and tell them how to rear their child" and bring up some psychological pish.
I sympathise with you entirely though

Echo Burning by Lee Child
The fifth in the rather good Jack Reacher series about the ex-Army cop turned drifter who finds himself in Texas and is picked up by a Mexican woman who claims her husband is due out of jail and had been beating her prior to his incarceration while her in-laws stand can her because she's Mexican and she fell out with her own family. She needs to get out and asks Reacher for his help. But everything isn't as it seems.
A good thriller and I'm into the last couple of chapters as the story becomes unravelled and I have to say it's a decent addition to the series, although I still think the previous story, "The Visitor", is slightly better.
