^^^ is a classic poster known to many people through many different subforums

Was that why he ran out? I thought he'd just forgotten to ask Verbal to join the station barbershop quartet.

Bollocks, forgot to start the annual "Ian Black seen in Morrisons Car Park" rumour. Maybe signing Barry Ferguson ruined that one a bit, like crying wolf only for Cerberus to show up.

Rishi was the one caught bragging about taking money away from areas in the northern wastelands to pay for village green improvements in the Home Counties, was he not? You have to be really careful about saying the quiet bit out loud in politics. Just ask Mitt Romney.

I bet there were people moaning about the Talkies back in the Twenties and Thirties. "If I wanted to hear people speaking I'd go to the pub! Bring back the live orchestra!"

"Switzerland's cold, right? Best pack only warm jerseys for this summer World Cup"

TBF, Iran were Asian champions and a lot better than we were expecting, same as Peru. Admittedly not as impressive a boast as now, but the assumption should still have been that they'd be no mugs. If you look at their results at the time, there's a lot of narrow defeats and draws in friendlies with other European nations. The problem, as it always is with Scotland, is that the SFA didn't do their research and just assumed everything would be fine. The history of the Scottish national team is of the people in charge exhibiting extraordinary hubris, or just not giving a shit. When we've lost to (then-unfancied) sides like Costa Rica, we've absolutely deserved it; it's a shame it's always the players who take the blame.

Thanks, that's just reminded me that I need to re-watch the Bava film Demons again at some point

Apparently if the REFUK Party drops out and they all vote Conservative, it would only keep them an extra fifty seats, which makes very little difference to their overall emptying. There's no benefit to Farage's crew in not flexing their fash muscles. If this changed to the point that an extra fifty seats might keep the Conservatives in power, or at least deny Labour a majority, you bet your arse that REFUK would drop out in Tory seats again. When you're a rich psychopath, a Conservative Party in power that you don't think is fascist enough is still less of a risk than any alternatives. REFUK are embarrassing, but they're no actual threat to the Conservatives being in power.

This is the Premiership forum, so nobody cares, but we have our own Gold thread. Remember when Clyde being in the seaside leagues was considered worthy of comment?

This is going to be a Savile situation in the future, isn't it? Damien makes it public that he was beasted by his maw after she's deid and the programming starts to wear off - half the population are shocked, while the other half are thinking, "what, did you actually need to see her shagging him to get the idea?"

Presumably some kind of AI that's rephrasing other posts to fit in before the inevitable BUY CRYPTO reveal. The question is, why do they feel the need to do this? Do other forums have something in place where you need to have made a certain number of legit messages before you can post hyperlinks or something?

...and where can I buy one?

Matthew 21:14 - "Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the Jobcentre, and He sanctioned their rations for being too lazy to travel for work."

It's a relief that this brief period of Queen's Park not being Scotland's top club appears to be gradually coming to an end. We're coming for you, Borrowstounness!

How are we feeling about the June fixtures? Finland's form has been spiralling after a good start to their qualifiers, and they just got ridden hard by Wales. They did, however, beat Northern Ireland home and away. If we don't beat Gibraltar then...good lord. Maybe they're lulling everyone into a false sense of security. Yeah, that'll be it. Weird stat I just noticed - of the 24 nations at the tournament, the only ones to have qualified for fewer Euros than us are Albania, Slovenia, and Georgia.

Clearly we really need a full, ordered list of Scotland's biggest clubs so the perennial second tier fans can have a sensible, rational discussion about not being placed higher due to their massive travelling support/their great-great-grandpa seeing them lift a trophy after making it back from The Great War.

Considering nobody can define what it means, there's no arguing with that!

Apparently he was 6' 2" back in his bodybuilding days. He'll have lost an inch or two since then, but still above average. The big man there is 6' 8", so it strikes me as really impressive that he's such a beefcake. Most of the guys I've met who are taller than me have been more on the skinny side, like they've been stretched out. He weighs almost thirty stones

I've no idea why a couple of daft oldies would want to take a bath in a muddy river, but those falls couldn't have looked more deliberate. I take it they were utterly stocious and thought it'd be a right laugh to bathe in one of England's lovely new effluent canals.

Tweeting about hot cross buns to curry favour with the Moral Majority seems like a Lizzie move, considering Americans don't know what they are. Also, I love the "I share Christian values" line that's trotted out when right-wingers are caught not giving a shit about religion. You'd think the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists et al are all eating babies* and molesting ducks or something. * yes, I know

Way too much cheerfulness on here. I've just submitted a couple of reports for my final year projects and they're utter dugshite. Will absolutely take any kind of pass. Finding this year really heavy going. Doesn't help that we had no lecturer for our main class for four months and there's currently a bitter row going on about how we're to be assessed, which doesn't really help. Apparently someone's noticed that the emergency assessment plan that the department had agreed upon won't pass muster if it's inspected by the SQA, so there's a mad panic going on that's really not helping anyone's stress levels. Got a feeling next week there's going to be a sudden, "ha ha, remember how we said teaching had finished for the year and you're just to complete your coursework and projects for the rest of term? Well..."

So is this Sydney Sweeney lassie just the new Christina Hendricks? It's amusing how society stops to remember the existence of big tits every now and then, as though there aren't websites and periodicals dedicated to such things (according to a mate).
