Once the plumbing's done I have collect & assemble the kitchen units for the Joiner starting on Monday!
By all accounts if you fancy coming round to help out feel free!
Judging by the job I did yesterday, I wouldn't trust me to wipe your arse after the bathroom's finished

Your story sounds like made up shite, tbh.
*shrug*
Whatever it suits you to believe.

Devil's Due - film about a group of satanic superheroes who impregnate incredibly annoying women with Satan's sperm and
totally kill the f**k out of them and their equally annoying husbands.
Yep, it's Rosemary's Baby, only found-footage and with very little going for it. Peculiarly uninteresting and quite dull.

This will be my day tomorrow! Today was spent screeding the bathroom floor....
By 'eck. Hopefully it all goes well.
Got some work through this way if you get bored

Just spent the day doing some light plumbing in the bathroom - I have new respect for plumbers, you guys don't overcharge at all. The money's deserved for the hassle and nasty shit you have to work with alone.

GFE hopefully.
Jesus, thanks for introducing me to that depressing concept
The lassie in question was gay, so no literal "working under"

What part do you have a problem with?

Why did your boss think it was correct to 'kick his arse sharpish' for having the sash as his ringtone?
The song which was deemed not sectarian, that is.
You'd have to ask her. I'd guess that she considered it a dig against her, however, considering that she was a Northern Irish Catholic.

Did they hit the ball twice, or did two players run a bit and get back to the shed where they chew gum and stuff? All I see is the numbers on McBookies. Will they bother with the 9th innings? Looks like everyone just wants to go home being as there's no bets offered for it.
Think it's 8 innings, then they keep going if it's a tie.
It can go on all fucking night until someone has the lead when an inning ends. Someone told me about a game they'd been to that was still going at 3am.

Have you ever complained about a work colleague for making offensive remarks? ...Genuine question.
Can't think of anyone I've worked with who's made bigoted remarks, TBH. There was one dick who insisted on having The Sash as his ringtone, but the boss kicked his arse sharpish without input from anyone else.
Wait, no - I had a young girl working under me once who had a thing against "pakis". Apparently they were all lying thieves, and seemed to be from most of Asia, from what I gathered. We had a wee chat about how that wasn't an acceptable term to use, which she seemed genuinely surprised about, and I never heard it again. Also mentioned that it's not fair to group people in that manner, which she seemed pretty receptive to. Probably said I was a w**k when I was gone, but we got on well. She was young and quite naive in some ways.
Sort of related, and freaked me out majorly for a bit - I did some work at an after-school playgroup for Primary kids, and a lot of the young'uns referred to black people as niggers. Worked out after a while that they'd picked it up from rap music, which they all seemed pretty keen on, especially Tupac. Having listened to the word being thrown around by predominantly black artists, they'd just decided that was what black people were called, without any of the negative connotations. Wasn't my place to go sermonising to the weans, but it was obvious that an authority figure would have to have a conversation about appropriate terminology at some point.

If I could just add - I have no idea what's going on here. Is like my daughter's rounders, but not as exciting. These yanks don't really do proper sport, do they?
The wife took me to an Arizona Diamondbacks game during their World Series winning season. I caught on to the basics fairly quickly, but I've never seen such a lack of atmosphere at a sporting event. Imagine a full house at Old Trafford with the entire crowd chatting to each other and paying no attention to the game. Utterly bizarre. Sometimes goes on past midnight on weekdays too - absolutely mental behaviour.
That, and the seventh-inning stretch terrified me. Everyone, now is the pre-scheduled time when we stand up and sing, like we are having a good time!
She got tickets for the World Series decider too, but I sent her off with a friend - me going would've been a massive waste.

Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero - after another outbreak of everybody's favourite flesh-eating virus, a lone survivor is quarantined on an island in the Dominican Republic, as it's believed that he is immune (and also a carrier). The arrival of a small stag party to the island causes some problems for all concerned.
The most remarkable thing about this series is how a decent idea has been pissed away. This doesn't feel much like a sequel to the previous two; the annoying attempts at kooky humour are gone (barring one stupid zombie dildo deathmatch), but have just been replaced by more gore. The quarantine storyline doesn't go far, so we're left with the group of revellers, who (unsurprisingly) fall apart in the predictable and suspense-free manner. There's an attempt at a big reveal at the end, which would surprise no-one, and feels as tired as everything else.
Would've been improved greatly by Sean Astin putting on that terrible Farmer Giles accent from the Hobbit films IMO.

The Conjuring - another horror movie from Blumhouse Productions, makers of Sinister and Insidious. A large family arrives in a new home, only to find mysterious ghostly happenings occurring during the night. They enlist a famed psychic and exorcist team to help.
You'll know what to expect from this if you've seen any of Blumhouse's other films - it has a similar feel, and is above average for the genre, However...
Occasionally possession movies have the slight feel that they might be funded (or, at least, encouraged) by the Catholic Church, considering that the fear of such nonsense can't do their bank balances any harm. However, this is an adaption of a 'true story' presented by a couple of supernatural charlatans, one of who is still alive and profiting from their lifetime of taking advantage of the credulous. Considering that the couple are lionised throughout the movie, I couldn't get that out of my head while watching, and my enjoyment suffered as a result. YMMV.

Did this actually happen, or is it an 'Andy Murray; British when he wins, Scottish when he loses' type myths?
No, this happened, and on more than one occasion. Usually in the pre-match build-up to England's games. Came across as obsequious and a desperate attempt to ingratiate himself with the host nation.
Either that, or these are some of the memories implanted during my abduction. It's 50-50, to be honest.
Edited as I can't type for shit.

Loving Alan Hansen's memories of watching Match of the Day as a kid- when the rest of us had to put up with Sportscene.
Anglified, media whore c**t.
Will never forget Hansen referring to England as "we" during Euro 96, at a tournament that his own nation attended. That was enough for me.
Edit: see also John Fashanu becoming a die-hard Nigerian once his England career was over

Chuffed tae bits. Over the moon and if there was more room in this pub, I'd be back-flipping.

There are so many hand wringing liberals wanting him crucified over this which is so predictable. Are we to believe no one else criticising him now has done exactly the same thing. I very much doubt it.
^^^ American gun control thread for this pish, afore anyone starts talking about Neo-Con hawks and other tripe.
Also, no, I don't think most people jump straight to gender, race, or sexuality when talking about someone they don't like, for no other reason than it entirely undermines their argument. YM, clearly, MV.

Glen Hoddle (currently being played bya membe of Flock Of Seagulls) is being pushed by the media for posts now.
The sports media down south has been pushing Glenn Hoddle for management jobs since he had to stand down as England manager. Hell, I can't count how many times pundits have claimed that he should be running English football altogether. They consider him to be some kind of footballing messiah; I assume because he's considered to be the player of his generation, and the feeling is that he wasn't given due prominence in the England team.
Frankly, it seems as mental as his religious views. Most of those parroting this keich have no first-hand knowledge if he's even a decent coach; it's just become the accepted wisdom that Glenn Hoddle is The One. No wonder he's kept relatively low-key; how do you live up to that kind of expectation?

You also get free one day delivery with Amazon.
The wife just noticed this in an advert at the cinema - we've had Amazon Prime since they bought out Lovefilm, and she's been choosing Super-Saver delivery this whole time

Hipsters with their oversized fashion headphones. Airports full of them. You're not cool, and you have ben ripped off for headphones that provide poor sound quality.
Twats.
Stumbled upon a display of those things a while back - kudos to the retailers for managing to sell them at those prices

Of all of the alleged comments I have absolutely no issue with that one, apparently it's not so bad to call someone a 'snake' but as soon as you bring the sexuality of the snake into it it somehow becomes an outrageous homophobic slur?
It's the implication that being gay is in itself part of the insult. Like the infamous "black b*****d" oath that the unreconstituted allow to slip out from time to time.

Kaa from the Jungle Book?
Be awesome if they tried to make out they were just having an extended discussion about The Jungle Book.

Certainly not agreeing with DAFC's post, but what exactly does this mean? You hear this a lot, but I've no idea. Always seems like something that would be said if you were being accused of wearing unflattering, albeit comfortable clothes, but it's generally said when someone's being accused of dressing sluttily, or in an unpractical manner.
