  1. This. The last two match threads have been horrific with the Pep/Kuro troll show. Utter pish.
  2. On the BBC website as well. Does this mean the New City Capital deal is off the table?
  3. Genuinely delighted for you lads. I hope you do a livi and go up through the playoffs. Utter scenes if that happened.
  4. You're a weirdo troll, but I laughed quite hard at this. Fair play.
  5. That's utterly gorgeous. I love it. The Scotland one is a huge disappointment. How can you get a Scotland strip so wrong? Navy blue, some white. Done. It's just a washed out 1998 kit. A riddy.
  6. McCrorie is awful with the ball at his feet and is clumsy in the tackle. There is a solid reason he was allowed to leave, albeit on loan. He's a huddy.
  7. Aye mate I understand analogies. You're trying to pick between two things which are hugely unpleasant, which you felt was analogous to choosing between your offspring. I was humorously inferring (I hate to come across all Kincy here, but when you communicate you imply, the recipient of the communication infers) a connection between how you feel about the OF and how you feel about your children. Just a wee joke like.
  8. That's a truly horrible indictment of your feelings towards your weans KJ.
  9. Congrats on your victory, now away and derail another thread with your "insight".
  10. Awaiting the utter meltdown on here now that he has been pulled from the squad as a precaution.
  11. I don't reckon it counts as snobbish to criticise the inclusion of a player who hasn't proven himself at a higher level than the Scottish second tier. It's not a standard that compares to international football. I hope he does well and that we have an absolute star on our hands, but I'm fine with people calling it into question.
  12. Agree with this. There were some absolute stars in that team. Being unable to win that division with a front two of Annand and Grady, while being supported by McGinlay, Sheerin and Teale is an utter riddy and does point to being poorly led imo.
  13. That would still leave us horribly weak on the right side though. I'd rather have Robbo or Tierney at RB rather than SOD. Better yet. Mind how Figo and Ronaldo would switch flanks during Euro 2004? We would revolutionise the game....
  14. I think it's in terms of being on the island of Great Britain. I'll still be British in the way that Spaniards will always be Iberian. Although that's not as politically loaded a term as British is.
  15. I've been known to recycle ones that were left by guests........
  16. Honestly I've been banging this drum for a couple of years now. Youngsters (and it is mostly youngsters) tend not to see the point as their generation doesn't have the consciousness of unions and what they are for (and the benefits of joining). I've tried to hard to convince them. A lot of the workers aren't here for long either, or are just here part time until they finish uni and they don't want the hassle. Hospitality is dreadful. I quit very recently and I won't be back. The money is decent, but the hours, the stress and the pounding your body takes makes it not worth it.
  17. Adams is an utter arsehole though. Also his RC team played brutal football iirc.
  18. Aye I do have to do that, and I have some fun with it most of the time, but sometimes it's cringeworthy. Between dessert and delivery of the bill is the best time to do it. People tend not to chat as we come over as a crowd and I have an elaborate hat made out of balloons (balloon modelling being a necessary part of the job as a TGI's waiter. Seriously.) so it tends to be a bit of a conversation stopper. It's corporate cult-level stuff and the bureaucratic shite (service standards which at times are impossible to achieve within such short timeframes) is needlessly stressful. It's ludicrously physical too and you end up shattered all the time. 8 hour shifts without a break, 7 or 8 day streaks with long days (11-10pm is common). The guests are the least stressful part of it, tbh.
  19. It's telling that the people who are raging about so called rude people in restaurants having the temerity to want to have a blether and not order immediately don't work as waiters, while those of us who do work as waiters are giving it a massive Partridge shrug. I work as a waiter (TGI Friday's, Aberdeen Beach) and I also take an absolute age to order in restaurants. I'm too busy blethering. Why? I've gone to the restaurant to catch up with my pals, which is why most people go to restaurants. It doesn't impact my work if someone wants to take their time. Actually, if I have loads of tables already, it's a fuckin godsend when a table (especially a large table) want to take their time. If they have to be out by a certain time, and they're still there, then the next table will either be placed elsewhere or will get a wee bit knocked off their bill because of a long wait. Again, none of this has any impact on me. None. So by all means take your sweet time in a restaurant, and leave a dece tip. Now can we get back on to talking about morons please? Thank you.
  20. Sorry to hear about your marriage Pep. You should talk to someone.
  21. The fact is that this is a clip with no context applied. I have no idea of the relationship between these two. He could be hazing Fleck for all we know. Fleck could well know that McBurnie loves playing for Scotland and it's a bit of a laugh between them. People are seeing what they want from a badly shot, few seconds of video.
  22. In 1967 The Black Panthers exercised their constitutional rights by wandering into a government building carrying rifles to protest about racist gun laws in California "keeping black people unarmed and helpless". Within months Governor Ronald Reagan signed a bill making it illegal to openly carry firearms. The bill was even nicknamed The Panther Bill. I imagine the reaction would be considerably less measured now, given the shoot on sight policy the polis seem to have with black men/boys.
