  1. Another favourite.  Apparently the scene at the bottom of the painting is the view from Dali's house. 
    For some reason this painting was regularly slashed. Only in Glasgow...


    It's called Christ of St John of the Cross I believe.
    Weirdly, a copy of this used to hang in Bellshill YMCA.
  2. Normally take a couple of escapist thrillers on hols to while away the time. However picked up Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada, brilliant. Started it on the plane and was quite disappointed when we came in to land and I had to close the book. Set in Berlin in 1940 it's about a couple who start to got back at the Nazis when their only son is killed in the war. The various characters, good and evil, were perfectly drawn and I was gripped throughout. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  3. Better than I would have thought. Most of them a bit younger than me but we still have a laugh and good banter. Had a cracking night out in Manchester last night. In saying that there is, and isn't there always, one dick who doesn't participate.

  4. Young girl in the office was leaving and before she left she bought a few bottles of beer for me as a sort of thank you. Most were fine but it did include a bottle of Newcastle Brown. I hadn't drank this in years as I seemed to remember it was bloody awful. I am pleased to say that despite my advanced years my memory isn't failing me that badly. It was awful. Thankfully the Hobgoblin, Crafty Hen, and Dead Pony Club more than made up for it.

  5. Webuyanycar.com has gone from ads showing people buying stuff, home entertainment centre, and football season ticket , with the money they make, to admitting you'll make more selling it yourself. Your time is precious so it's worth losing a few bob. f**k me. Do idiots fall for that shite?

  6. I don't think this is just down to missing Iniesta, there seems to be a general malaise throughout the side. They're a shambles at the back and not much better in midfield. The front three have had very little service but they've been ineffective with what service they have had, and as I type this Messi scores.  

  7. Just watched the delayed coverage on Sky. Barca were not much cop up front without Messi or Suarez. It shows up Neymar's deficiencies when he plays without their support. Malaga's keeper, Kameni almost kept Barca at bay single handedly in the closing minutes. Malaga down to 9 by the final whistle which came almost 5 minutes after the allotted 4 minutes injury time.
