  1. I'm picking my parents up from the airport tomorrow at 19.30-20.00. To avoid paying ridiculous prices in the short stay car park (as I'll probably be there a bit early), I was going to park near by and go to pick them up when they phone to say they're ready. Should it be easy enough (and free) to get parked at the Gyle shopping centre? If not, where should I park? Thanks.

  2. I was in B&Q earlier, as i was minding my own business a wee lad came thundering past me closely followed by a lad i'm assuming was his brother chasing him, this went on for about 5 mins. What the f**k are the parents doing whilst these 2 rampage through the store?

    On two occasions last Friday, I saw a child fall flat ontheir face doing this. Serves them and their parents right for being twats.

    If you want to see children in their full horror, go to a zoo. It makes youwant to be sterilised.

    People who queue before they need to are annoying as f**k. Why the f**k are you queuing 30 minutes before the check-in desk opens? The irony is that the beardy c**t who starts the fucking queue will wait in it longer than anyone else. But because someone starts the queue everyone else feels forced to join it because they are worried about being at the back. Eventually it means that you have to join to avoid being at the back and then everyone waits for far longer than we actually had to because of some bearded bell-end. The fact that this twat had paid for priority boarding but was one of the last on the plane cheered me up substantially.

  3. All you have to do is type Dundee into the Branch Locator on the right hand side of their homepage and it's the first result that pops up!

    When I did that I only got the location, I have since realised that if you google Alliance and Leicester it tells you both the location and contact details of your local branch, in my case the Dundee one. As you've probably observed, I'm not very observant.

  4. Do you mean 10pm? If so, I don't think so.

    Nope. and now not before ten am...what the fek is goin on.Is the war still on?

    I meant after 10am (eg anytime between 10am and 10pm). I couldn't find anything online to confirm it but I finally did. Cheers anyway.

    Very easy for both, you'll get it for free in Glenrothes (there's council offices nearby, see) but it'll cost in Kirkcaldy.

    Cheers, I don't mind paying because I can claim it on my expenses so it'll just be where ever is closest to where I'm going. 

  5. Blizzard on it's way to Montrose tonight.

    We never got any in Carnoustie but did Montrose? I'm going there, and everywhere else in Angus plus Inverbervie, tomorrow and I'd really rather not drive in the snow. 

    For Fife saint and Classy JL:

    Google brought up this

    Linky

    Fuckin' hell! I was amazed at a few lumps of ice but that's something else. 

  6. Enjoy your inevitable cold! :lol:

    In the middle of Perth, the Tay is freezing over: two large banks of ice are forming and gradually reaching towards one another. With the forecasters predicting it to be even colder this weekend and early next week, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it frozen over by then. I shall take a picture in daylight tomorrow.

    If anyone fancies seeing a lower league football match before the end of this month, tough titty, I think. Can really see almost all of January's card being wiped out in Divisions 2 & 3, beyond the odd game at Hampden.

    I'm sure there were lumps of ice in the Tay when I was going over the Tay bridge on Tuesday. I was amazed that there was ice in it because I think it's salty up to about Perth.

  7. Without caring to invoke the wrath of Livi_Clyde, why the f**k would you choose to live in the east of Scotland, or like SaintSam, Perthshire, if you really dislike snow and its related disruption?

    I live on the coast; it's rare for us to get any snow, let alone the amount we've had recently. 

  8. The problem with this weather is that some people just can't cope with it. Why do people think that 1st gear at the bottom of a snowy road going uphill is an option? Beats me.

    The M8, M9 and A90 were covered with ice at certain stretches yet muppets still seem to think that excessive speed is an option. Right enough, further on, cars in ditches.

    I have total confidence in my ability to handle the snow. We have 14" of snow at my house. I have cleared the paths, kept me car sorted and only missed work once when the trains didn't come (worked from home). My continual fear though is that it will be one of the aforementioned muppets who ruins it all by crashing into my car.

    I also laugh long and hard at fools who drive away with 2" of snow on their rear windscreen. Why would you do that. There are also those who leave the snow over their headlights and then switch them on. Why??

    I was on the A90, and the A92, last night and I saw the same things. In the left hand lane there were two black strips that people could drive in but most people were staying at a 35-45ish, or 50ish in bits, because anything higher was dangerous. There were still people belting past everyone in the completely white right hand lane. 

  9. The roads in Dundee were all white yesterday because there had been heavy snow fall but some folk still thought it was a good idea to belt along as quickly as they could. Some fanny went flying round a roundabout and very almost spun, but he didn't think afterwards that it might be a good idea to slow down a bit. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, why won't the snow f**k the f**k off? I fuckin' hate it. I have to drive for work and I really can't be arsed doing it when there's all this snow around.

  10. Edinburgh city council hates drivers,regardless of what party is in power.The officials have never forgiven the citizens for voting down their beloved congestion charge.

    But they carried on with closing of rat runs,installing speed ramps that would give a tiger tank a run for it money,instigating one way systems etc etc.Oh and some of the highest parking fees known to man ,and traffic enforcers that were trained by the Third Reich.

    Apart from that it is fine.

    The bus lanes do my nut in because I don't drive in Edinburgh enough to know when I can drive in them.
