Don't think so, he chamber back a wee while ago.Is he not posting under a new username on here?0 -
Anyone heard from@moomintroll lately? He wasn't in a great place last time I spoke to him on here, and hasn't responded to PMs since. I'm a bit concerned, tbh.

Full review in due course would be appreciated, as I'm in a bit of an autobiography groove at the moment. Just finished Tom Jones', which was surprisingly readable, and just about got through And Away.., Bob Mortimer's. Still got Bobby Gillespie and Dave Grohl' s to read as well.Reading John Cooper Clarke - I wanna be yours.
I am enjoying it, im about a quarter of the way through. Hes a good observer of the little things in life and his memories reflect that.
Good sense of humour too.
Also currently re-reading The Wee Free Men, as I decided granddaughter the first could do with stepping up from Potter to some proper fantasy writing, and I'm enjoying discussing the story of the Nac Mac Feegle as she takes the first steps to becoming as much of a Pratchett fan as I am. Big Jobs!

Fūck me, I'll happily have a go at [mention=8416]oaksoft[/mention] for a lot of stuff, but that's in poor taste.3 "new" posters have shown up it seems and are just stinking the place out.
[mention=82292]Rugby Is Terrible[/mention] and [mention=26637]RAITHROVERS84[/mention] stinking up the covid thread (didn't realise this was possible).
[mention=81953]SuperSaints1877[/mention] having a go at another user in the eulogies thread - I mean, come on. There are a few threads where having a bunfight is just not in and this is one.
I notice, as well, that at least one of those mentioned was gaily handing red dots around over a week ago. Not because I go looking for behaviour like this, but a fellow poster mentioned it shortly before he disappeared again - hopefully temporarily.

Yeah, "will be".In the same way as the thread on Orange Walks metamorphosed into a hub of cricket talk, the transition of the Covid thread to Incel chat will be as seamless as it is unsurprising.-1 -
^^^ Ricky V. Likes this.Like some of the guys here have said you might well be fine with on-street parking. If you're after a car park, there's the big Tesco which is about 5/10 minutes' walk from the Chadwick Stand and opposite that there's the car park where the old Safeway used to be. If you do park at the big Tesco, make sure and nip into the Forum Café for some ice cream/sweets for the game.0 -

Boris hasn't 'seen any evidence of blackmailing'
I note that is very different to 'I/my cabinet have not been blackmailing MPs'.
He might be fucked this time.
Also from the BBC:
Downing Street party: Who is Sue Gray and what is she investigating?
Ah, Johnson's Good Old Days when one party was all there was. All of SIX days ago.

This could be what sinks not only the fat fűckwit, but the actual government.Now the senior back bencher William Wagg accusing bojo and co with blackmailing of mps to not put letters with threats to cut funding etc in there constituency areas [emoji1787]
Sorry,I can't put a wee laughing emoji here. This is fucking treasonous behaviour.0 -
Adopting English as the world's lingua franca had bugger all to do with the UK or history of empire. Rather, it was the continuing (and expanding) presence and influence of the Yanks across the globe post-WWII.Yet they generally use English to speak to the rest of the world. In aviation, shipping, computing, tourism, pop music they get a lot of exposure to English.
If somebody from Germany wants to speak to someone from Japan, it is likely they will use English.
Japanese contains a lot of English loan words.
This might not have been the case if WW2 had turned out differently.
Fun fact - those uppity colonials came within a whisker of adopting German as their national language when the USA was in its formative years.1 -
Add me to the list of Full-Housers with an almost guess-free Ten for Thursday. (Strong lad was a guess).

He'll be remembered as being even more of a cűnt than you. Think on that. It's some fucking bar.As a conservative unionist who thinks that Boris”s time is up, I think he won’t be viewed as badly as some people think.
He got Brexit done, he won a huge majority and his instincts regarding binning the pandemic regulations are spot on.
Unfortunately, he got Covid quite badly which put him out of action for a while and he had a poor bunch of people advising him. For a ‘big picture ‘ person to succeed you need some great detail people in the background.
May was great on detail but had no vision and Cameron was just useless.
Anyway, the story isn’t quite over yet so time will tell.
1. He still hasn't "got Brexit done".
2. He won a massive majority based on a raft of manifesto promises which he has spent the last couple of years breaking, one by one. Feel free to mention anything that has been implemented from that manifesto.
3. He isn't even bright enough to lie consistently.
4. Finally, on pandemic response. Much public money was spent on vaccines which work, but I don't hear you trumpeting about the public money spaffed up the wall on vaccines which were found to be unsuitable. The "superb" rollout of the vaccination and booster programmes was due to a Herculean effort on behalf of NHS staff and an army of volunteers (mainly , Public Sector), not that fucking empty shirt - he was too busy getting pissed with his staff. That the only thing he continues to claim for himself as a success is a result of a massive socialist response from the public aiding an institution he is denied to destroying would be beautifully ironic were it not so fucking disgraceful.28 -
I'm assuming you've got your tongue firmly in cheek there. Sue Gray, in common with you and I, it's easily old enough to remember what happened to David Kelly.She's just supposed to list the facts, it's not her job to judge or allocate blame. Which won't prevent a huge amount of pressure on her of course.1 -
Nine for Wednesday - good guesses on Weston and Wall, not so good on Wales.
Seven on SCQ - no idea how.0 -
There's a few bumble around in the woods near us - I reckon if I see a couple more, I'll have the sett.Has anyone saw a badger in real life? I've only ever seen them on the tele or lying dead.
(Sorry!)

Eight for Tuesday. YPM and cheerleaders.

^^^ Surprisingly upbeat for someone who's going to have to find a new hobby..Lads, I don't know about you, but I have a feeling that this spring and summer are going to be fucking GLORIOUS.3 -
"Wee Ayr"? Nah, far too cuddly.If any Kilmarnock fan tries to say they don’t care about “Wee Ayr” just show them Rugbypark posts on here.
Rent fucking free.
Think you'll find the usual term is "that Shite from down the road".-1 -
Nine for me on Monday - second guessed myself on Vicky's kid. A couple of other guesses came in, though, so overall pleased.

Quality score, mate. You'll take some catching on that form!19 for Monday, no guesses [emoji2]2 -
Absolutely. News and current affairs coverage on Netflix is second to none, as well. And as for Disney's blanket coverage of local radio, well..
This seems to be an argument for the licence fee and I can't say I agree tbh. It works out about £12.50 a month and if you had to pay that to watch I wouldn't pay it as it wouldn't be value for money for me given I rarely watch BBC.
I do watch the odd thing but nowhere near as much as I watch on Netflix or Disney+ which are both cheaper than £159 a year.

Again, have you seen the chief scarecrow at Westminster? Have you ever heard him utter a coherent sentence?Toff playbook my arse. It must be a generational thing. If you are going to take £80k per year off hard working taxpayers, at least be able to string a sentence together in English and make an effort with one’s appearance.
Obviously lost on these SNP jakeys.

Firstly, the pitch, while cosmetically on a par with Doug Rougvie's coupon, didn't appear to affect ball movement or the players balance.
Thistle were good value for at least a draw and could easily have had a couple more.
Shaw, yet again, is missing chance after chance, i.e.not even forcing the keeper into a save. Wee MacKay played at least one defence splitting ball which should have seen us home. I think he'll be doing more of that, and we need someone to capitalise on it. Big Innes, maybe?
Taylor looked like he'll do a job for us, although I hope the couple of times he seemed to take a knock were symptomatic of his enthusiasm, and not fragility..
f**k it, win at home and draw away and we'll go up. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards.1 -
Big Ol' Ten for Friday - Welsh band I got by more or less knowing who it wasn't, and Battle was a coin toss.

What is the point of Labour ?

And surprise, sur-fucking-prise, years too fucking late..
I would dearly love to see Ken, in particular stand against that UJ mask-wearing turncoat in the next election - one lost "Labour" deposit I would not mourn.
No-one, I repeat No-one could possibly run for election on that tory manifesto, continually vote like a good wee party lickspittle and be fit to represent working people just two years later. If he's serious, let him resign his seat and let the CLP select who they want to represent the Party in the resulting by-election. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that traitor. Just because he's crossed the floor in the "right" direction doesn't make him trustworthy, quite the opposite.
