  1. Anyone going to Jimmy Eat World tonight at the Barras? Specifically, anyone with spare tickets? Me and my flatmate are going to head down late on and see if we can get ones at face or slightly higher.

  2. So anyway... I bought this Nike+ thing last week, and woke up at 7am last Wednesday fully intending to go for a run, looked out the window and the rain and wind and thought "f**k this." By 6 o'clock that night I was in my bed with a cold coming on. Floored for 2 full days, I have the worst immune system in the land.

    However, I mapped out a rough 3km run on some web site thats like google maps, and am just back in 14 minutes 18 seconds. Given that this is the first excercise i've done in months, and the first run in about 6 months I think this is ok.

    The Ipod is brilliant, and Lance Armstrong congratulated my on my performance :lol: Just after the 2km mark there's a fairly prolonged incline (about 2 fucking degrees but prolonged for me) and I was thinking to myself "thank f**k this thing doesn't record your speed." Once i'd connected up it took me 2 seconds to work out what the valley shaped dip in the line was :lol:

    Still, very happy and the kit will stand me in good stead for actually getting out of bed in the morning.

  3. I recieved a letter from SAAS regarding my travel expenses claim:

    Thank you for your application etc:

    Travel Expenses Approved: £566.40 ("Ya fucking beezer" was the cry from a delighted Muff.)

    LESS DEDUCTIONS ("Shit", exclaimed a perplexed McMuffin, the wind clearly knocked from his sails.)

    Travel Allowance Deducted: £155.00

    Residual Contribution Recovered: £411.40

    TOTAL EXPENSES PAYABLE: £0.00

    A hail of profanity spewed from his mouth, furious that they bothered to send such a fucking stupid letter.

    Obviously they don't want to give me money for the daily Charing Cross - Queen Street train that I allegedly ride, nor the 6 day singles on the train to and from Inverness, but that's neither here nor there :ph34r:

    "Dear Mr McMuffin

    Thanks for your application. Unfortunately for you, we're not stupid, and we're giving you f**k all.

    Cheers

    Mr Travel Expenses"

    I'd have preferred that.

  4. Right, don't mean to be a wee so and so..........but............I'll post the weekend/or midweek single my £100 mate says( before it happens!)...............OK!!.............The only reason I haven't followed him as well is....................................................PRIDE!!! :huh:

    Great. I've already came in my boxers in anticipation.

    f**k off.

  5. Avoid scorecasts and section coupons, these are a rip off.

    Also I've noticed on here putting accys on where the games lead into another day, personally I think this is naive as you could maybe collect a decent amount on the Sunday Morning and put on another bet if you wish rather than waiting for the Sunday 4pm game to bust your coupon (provided all your selections are up).

    One of my mates who works in a bookies calls scorecasts "the bookie's friend".

    And also your second point is the reason I stopped betting on any of the Friday games, as i'd find that if my coupon was burst after that i'd end up doing another coupon on the Saturday. Dangerous game, chasing losses. Best feeling when it comes off, the worst when it (usually) doesn't.

  6. :huh: It was a sell out.

    It definately wasn't. Did you look at the seats?

    It wouldn't have mattered if it was though, the point i'm making is that the place is a fucking cave. It's a horrible venue, and they should have played the Academy again. But money talks.

  7. I was at Bloc Party aswell. I got a free ticket, so decided to get completely and utterly mangled. Badger's arse today.

    They were good, but it was a shit gig in that fucking cavern of a place, they're not big enough to pull it off. However, Flux sounded immense.

  8. Seconded. Put off buying tickets for ages then went to get them and they only had seating left. Fuck that! Have a good one though.

    Seen them twice before, absolutely amazing. I looked for tickets and saw only seating so left it, but my lass got me standing for my birthday.

    Beers already opened, i'm very excited.
