  1. For me it would depend on what type of Tory. I've met conservatives who believe in free markets, private property, individualism etc who are lovely people and I've met lefty liberal greens who are obnoxious, bellicose self-righteous arseholes. Kindness, warmth and generosity of spirit are the pre-requisites for me.
  2. Good to see. I give Aberdeen a hard time for being a bit of a cultural desert and for being a bit far from Glasgow (I da drive), but it has a lot going for it in many respects. It's by the sea, and I see dolphins pretty regularly. I can also escape pretty easily which is huge for me. A 20min ride in any direction sees me in quiet rurality. Doric and Aberdonian speech is general in infinitely more mellifluous than Glaswegian too, and I say that as one who still sounds weegie as f**k. And that's a' ah hae tae say aboot that (pronounced "thawt").
  3. On Bumble right now at whomever did the algorithm has a cruel sense of humour. I keep getting occasional messages "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and today's "people are loving your vibe" only to click on the app both times to find no likes and no more women to see locally. Absolute wind up .
  4. Ach I'll be at the ground from 3.30 just to be on the safe side. Looking forward to it if I can remain covid negative. The man I support has tested positive and I'm working at his for 7 days solid before the game. Fingers crossed etc.
  5. I wouldn't have said Piccadilly Circus was an attraction is it? I'm not just being pedantic, I haven't read any "rough guide" type stuff about London so have no idea if this is a place recommended to tourists. Otherwise I just thought it was a bit of London that was well known as being a busy bit.
  6. Who scored? The BBC lad on the results show didn't say and they haven't updated the score?
  7. Some outrageously curmudgeonly takes on this thread. Paris is beautiful and I will square go the poster who decried Kelvingrove. Loch Ness. Not even in the top 20 lochs in Scotland, but wildly popular due to the rarely sighted beasty.
  8. The big striker for Turkey (Yilmaz?) wins this particular award (Ballon de Merde?). Utter dugmeat throughout. O'Donnell was imperious against the neighbours.
  9. Welcome pal. I had a wee chuckle at the idea of the Jags (partick thistle) being like Millwall given our our reputation as efféte hipsters . If you're looking for something closer to your motherland of Argyll then you'd be as well switching sports and finding a shinty team, or waiting for Morton to get promoted. (RayLiottaLaughing.gif). Enjoy the forum, follow the match threads and enjoy the banter. Feel free to join us on the tartan army forum as we lurch between ecstatic optimism and crushing nihilism (and sometimes that's just in the first half). Enjoy!
  10. Is it because he signed from one of the cold firm that the "loch Ness" thing stuck? It's much more romantic sounding than the Ayrshire Drogba.
  11. I'd personally prefer to see him in the Bundesliga or Serie A. A lovely wee player.
  12. Aye I hope you steer clear of that lot. Their plan was to essentially make us a feeder club for Barnsley, which is the tin-pottiest of tin-pot scenarios. I'd have stopped supporting us, probably. So aye, get multiple in owners taefuck.
  13. Gauld surely has to be in this squad. As a forward player he offers something much different from the likes of Adams and Dykes. Can't wait for this though.
  14. I loved Skyfall. Don't let him watch Spectre though. That was worse than QoS (which I actually liked as a slow burning piece of continuity) and is one of the laziest Bond films out there. Game of Thrones levels of incompetence. On the subject of Bond, I watched Goldfinger recently and there are parts of that which are simply awful. The "seduction" of Pussy Galore is basically sexual assault. I cringed hard at that. And the final fight between Bond and Odd-job is laughably bad. It reminded me of the fight between the two male leads in Bridget Jones' diary.
  15. Any of the Alien films, any of the Rocky films and none of the Mad Max films. I caught a bit of whatever Rocky film has Dolph Lundgren in it, and Balboa is one of the worst boxers I've ever seen. Absolutely all over the place technically. The pro American propaganda wasnt exactly subtle either.
  16. Away and have a lie down pal. And the "fully developed" claim is based on science. The frontal lobe of the brain isn't fully developed in women until around 18 or 19. In men it can be as late as 24. It's the part of the brain that deals with executive control.
  17. A narrow midfield with 5 in it, with full backs providing the width? They'd be falling over each other.
  18. Yup, because decisions are made which affect them profoundly so it makes sense that they should have some say. But anyway, we're getting a bit away from my original point which is that the way she was treated by the GMB hosts was unnecessarily hostile and degrading. The other point is that she should be allowed to return home. If she's committed a crime that should be investigated and she should be treated as any other juvenile in the justice system.
  19. Sorry if I'm being thick here, but if it was 1 up top we'd be going with a 4-5-1 which would still require three in the middle as we'd be going with two wingers.
  20. There is a reason we don't try 15 year olds as adults, and it's precisely because they don't fully understand consequences in a way that fully developed adults do. Their brains haven't fully developed. Enjoy your weekend amigo.
  21. The issue isn't (or at least shouldn't be) what the general public want. The part you highlighted was crass and obtuse, but wasn't the worst line of questioning. The girl wants to come back to the place where she grew up and has connections (i.e. home), there ought to be conditions to this, given she may be a huge security risk. Susannah presented the option of going to live in a country she didn't know and had no connections. The worst part of the interview was "real life Partridge" Richard Madley reminding her (and us) apropos of absolutely nothing, that all the children she gave birth to had died. He then asked her how this had happened. The whole interview was done in bad faith and just seemed vicious.
