Funky Nosejob

Dream job… Realistically, I’d love to run a business rebinding damaged vintage books. Not sure how much demand there is for that though.

More related to my water-polo playing days.

Our primary school playground had a 12 foot wire fence at the end, presumably to stop wayward footballs flying onto the adjoining road. One snowy winter morning we spent our entire break time perfecting the best possible slide, using the fence as a safety net/crash barrier. Everyone was having a fantastic time. The headmaster thought otherwise and instructed the janitor to put salt down between break time and lunchtime, but never thought to mention it to the children. We all rushed out at lunchtime to continue our sliding activities. First kid down hit the salted patch, went face first into the fence and broke his arm. Dickhead of a headmaster tried to put the blame on us.

Rebus looking well

Great intro, great song, so-so video. I forgive you boy, but don’t leave town.

Irrelevant posts on the ITYPD thread. It’s there as a safe haven to vent your frustrations with your partner’s behaviour rather than risk actually having to address it face to face with them. There are more suitable threads for week-long arguments about acceptable pizza toppings or preferred barbecues. Endless posts about lane discipline and signalling etiquette when navigating roundabouts on the COTR thread. Pedantic posts on TTJ&TET highlighting what are, at most, typos.

Apologies for the late answer, but yes. First check is what is required stake to guarantee £100 return for each possible outcome. If total stake is under £100, then the opportunity is there. £67 Formartine 1/2 with Bet365 returns £100.50 £14.30 Draw 6/1 with McBookie returns £100.10 £16.70 Nairn 5/1 with McBookie returns £100.20 £98 outlay for a guaranteed £100+ return. Obviously scalable depending on your funds available and what you think won’t get noticed.

No more Flying Donkeys. A shame as they had some beautiful strips over the seasons… I almost bought myself this one until I realised it would cost £35 in postage.

Not only sent to the wrong team, but the wrong sponsors as well. cinch weren’t the sponsors for 2020/21. I wonder whether cinch also feature heavily in the flag sent to Rangers.

I didn’t realise Kwik-Fit had a works team.

Hoping to make it along to Paties Road for the Edinburgh United v Ormiston game on Saturday. I haven’t been to a game at this level since attending Ayrshire Junior games in the late 80s. What do I need to know before I turn up?

TLE?

Serious question, and probably veering into P&B Hospital thread territory - Do you often experience feelings of deja-vu?

We get fresh eggs and milk delivered to our doorstep twice a week and pay a premium over supermarket prices for the privilege. She will still return home from visiting her Mum with 4 eggs that are within 48 hours of their use by date, because “her Mum won’t use them”. Similar issues with half loaves of sliced bread, almost empty packets of cereal and unopened bags of flour, all within days of their best before dates.

I have a polyglot friend who insists Turkish is the easiest language to learn as words are pronounced as they are spelled and there are no gendered nouns or irregular verbs.

Having tried to obtain tickets for Liverpool games for the glory hunting Funky Junior, I can advise that priority for the dregs is given to those with a Liverpool postcode.

Fairly sure it’s a Buddleia.

Surely a home draw would have been easier?

Conversely, I’m missing out on that feeling of self contentment from knowing I’m not having to read content from a particular Kia driver or the board’s self-appointed Idiotfinder General.

FTFY

Petty niggle, but the Patrick Thistle theme displays the current page number in white on white.
