  1. If only there was some technology that the stewards could use which might record video and sound to help identify these mutants. Ah well, maybe one day. The evidence could then be posted on the "calling cards of morons" thread.
  2. I can imagine his political opponents producing their own versions and p!&&-takers around the world can run riot.
  3. I hear that Trump has started selling merchandise with his mugshot on it. Is there a copyright issue with a law enforcement photo? Can anyone use it?
  4. No. I understand it fell out of a window of a tower block.
  5. From a curiously filled section of my memory, I seem to remember such a garment being used to repair part of the engine of the USS Sea Tiger in the film "Operation Petticoat". Clearly an impressively strong garment. Nope, no idea why that stuck there.
  6. The wee dug has a "that's a fekkin disgrace... Get it cut back FFS" expression on its face.
  7. Ah... I hear references to this thing which many countries appear to think to be a good idea, something called a "constitution". I wonder if we should get one?
  8. And people standing 20 feet closer to ground zero than the pizza will have bodies doing a passable impersonation of a pizza with pepperoni on a barbecue sauce base with an extra portion of spicy pork.
  9. Unless a rampant hot blond with three dragons comes along, then it's "adiós muchachos"!
  10. I'll say we are still in the tie, but it's frustrating having been ahead twice.
  11. That's meant to be a comedy gig? The "crowd" looks as if they're waiting for the results of a raffle for an immediate session of anaesthetic-free root canal treatment.
  12. Lassie I used to work with had an incredibly annoying way of describing a conversation. So ah'm like that whaddya mean an' he's like that ah'v already told yie an' ah'm like that naw yie huvny an he's like that aye a huv an ah'm like that no, yuv no...
  13. It's a fair point, but to be fair to myself I didn't say that I hated Britain. I said I wasn't proud of being British. I have no time for the constitutional arrangements that leave Scotland as a toy of Westminster's absurd system of government or for our Head of State being appointed by the "Grace" of a "God". On tonight's game, it's simply a must win as far as I'm concerned. The team really has to "click"... I just hope they're at that point now. I know we are guaranteed a group stage even if we are knocked out of the Champions League but its prestige, coefficient points and loot can't be ignored.
  14. Aren't there restrictions then? Happy to be corrected but I seem to recall that our retired friends who live in Glasgow can use their card on buses in Edinburgh but not on the Tram if they are going to Edinburgh Airport.
  15. I think it only applies to "Edinburgh" bus passes. Similarly I don't think our Edinburgh bus pass lets us travel for free on the Glasgow Underground when we visit.
  16. Give it 2 months and Braverman would redefine "the most serious offenders" to include folk who make a mistake in their benefit application form or hold up a placard saying "Down with this sort of thing".
  17. For Edinburgh Airport we use 2 different "drop off" methods, usually for our son and his g/f. We either take them to a tram stop and they get to the airport by tram, or we take them to the free drop off at the airport which gives you (I think) 30 minutes free and is about a 10 minut walk to the terminal. The problem with the tram is that while a tram single is £2, a trip from any tram stop to the airport costs £7.50 which IMO is a bit steep and makes the tram relatively unattractive. The airport bus is also £5.50. Mrs Salt and Vinegar and my good self get the tram because free tram travel is included in our bus pass. If the powers that be really want to get folk out of their cars, cheaper public transport is a no brainer but the cost puts some people off.
  18. If "mad as a box of frogs" isn't a technical diagnosis, it damn well ought to be.
  19. Give it a few days and there'll be some kind of social media campaign by a few folk claiming that her conviction was a government or medical industry conspiracy. Some sad loner will then want to marry her in prison.
  20. That's a pity. The Watermill is a nice place. We usually have an overnight stay in Aberfeldy at least once a year and always visit the Watermill. Saw quite a good piss take of Harry's book there - but the parody was called "Spare Us".
  21. The organisers should do a "Have I got News for You" and have a chair in the space where Trump ought to be sitting, with a tub of lard on it . For added banter, maybe add a ginger wig with a comb over.
  22. Remember the wee blue folder with the "new" decimal coins inside? My older brother took the 10p and 5p coins and spent them. What a cnut.
