Well I was pleasantly surprised by that. Cracking wee film and all the sub-themes and sub-plots simmer away nicely around each other. Not the kind of film I'd usually go see at the cinema, it's more of a late night Film4 affair but well worth a watch either way. The setting, and small-town close-knit cast fit in perfectly with the type of story. Sam Rockwell's character verges on cartoon-like a few times but redeems himself in the end.

The Deli bar at Morrisons. Just crammed about a weeks worth of different pasta salads in to a wee plastic box, and a rack of BBQ ribs, all for a measly £6.50.

Does it require any thinking ? I'm a bit hungover and the gf will be with me moaning as its not her cup of tea, so the less intellectual input the better.

Hmmmm. Seems to be a recurring theme with this type of film. Meant to go see it today but might just sack it.

I won't be back at a professional dealership when my current finance deal finishes due to this sort of thing. Bought a car from Glenrothes SEAT this time last year and some of the guff they've spouted over the past year has been embarrassing. I've had it in half a dozen times since I bought it and been quoted this that and everything for new parts. Took it to a garage next to my work (VW specialists) and they said the car was fine and potential repairs were minimum fuss costing peanuts. b*****ds at the dealership tried to do a puncture repair and f****d the tyre. Had to get a new one that they tried to charge me for ! Reported my tread depths as a few mm less than what they actually were too...

There should be some sort of home/hotel/respite centre that you can drop your other half in whilst they're on their Japanese flag week. Last night I had a Sky remote chucked at me, threatened with a stir-fry sauce and volleyed in the shins throughout the night.

Checking your tyre tread depth with a 20p coin is illegal in Methil.

All the staff were given a template response to dish out yesterday, the usual passive aggressive apology along the lines of ''no offence intended, we are a diverse company'' etc.... A lot of phone calls from the US - it's caused a bit of a stooshie over there apparently.

Drivel. Couldn't disagree more. Yesterday, my missus, along with dozens of other staff in the support centre, had to endure death threats, things being thrown at the windows, bomb threats over the phone. They were too scared to leave the office at some points yesterday as it looked like a crowd had formed outside, and the police were in and out all day.

No more offensive than this is to vegans/vegetarians, whatever they're called this week....

Cheers lads. I looked at weekend showings for all the cinemas in my area and it was only that Darkest Hour Churchill film that was advertised. Averaging 8.5/10 on most reviews. I love a Midwestern-US Black Comedy crime caper.....

This has caught my eye. Looks and sounds like it's in the same mould as Fargo which I thoroughly enjoyed (film & series). Can't see anywhere in Scotland showing it though despite it having a UK release date of this Friday......?

Oh don't. The thought of reproducing with her at the moment is palpable.

Dreamt I was on the Crystal Maze with Mark Yardley a few nights ago. We got split up in the medieval zone and I never seen him again until the Crystal Dome.

My missus works for H&M and seemingly it was their main marketing division in Stockholm, and the garment's manufacturer, that pushed this through despite UK advising them of potential repercussions.

Uddingston Accident & Emergency ?

Tease.

Missus will text me at work 4/5 times a day on WhatsApp. I'll open/read the text then reply accordingly at first available opportunity. However, she'll say : ''The two blue ticks came up. Why you ignoring me ?'' if I don't respond to said message within 3 or 4 mins. Then she'll say something like "Oh, is work more important than me I take it..... !?'' Jesus, man. Yes darling, I love spreadsheets and replacing toner cartridges far more than you ffs.

That stuff looks better for unblocking drains than drinking tbh.

Share price doesnt really have to rise in theory. We get the same capital deducted every month so if the share price drops we get more shares for our capital, i.e. £x.xx can get me 30 shares one month, and if the price drops over the next month i can get 35 for the same money say. A gradual rise with a few dips over 4/5 years is usually the most rewarding in these types of plans.

I have one private stock via an investent ISA - company's IPO was last autumn and i lumped in around this time last year. Has risen from 185p to 260p since. The investment game wont make me a millionaire but its very relaxing knowing theres a pot there something to fall back on. I'm also in my works share plan where i get 8% of my salary deducted and transferred to shares. They throw in a bonus share for every three that i earn but i need to wait til March '19 to cash in.

From the limited whiskys ive sampled, Laphroaig was very smokey/peaty and would likely match what youre after. Takes a few sips to get used to.

Been reading the last 25 pages or so and found no mention of Chivas Regal which catches my eye every time I'm in the drinks aisle. Is it any good ? I'm slowly getting bored of Bourbon and would like to buy a bottle of malt to get started. I love a wee nip or two on a good night out, and got a nice bottle of Haig Club for Christmas which is going down well but I appreciate it's not a traditional type whisky like the ones mentioned on the thread.

Correct, for us statutory works out about £22 a day. But your first three days sick pay get deducted and go to HMRC, so if you self certify for a week you'll only see about £45 ! After 10 continuous days off company sick pay also kicks in and is a whopping £30 a day on top of stat.

Pure dead brilliant.
