  1. What's the point? It will soon be midnight and then it won't be today anymore!
  2. Dodgy keybaords kasdfasdfkasdfawef yn7ilawef bjh,awefwef awefsdzsqwer23q23q23q23q23awefasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdqwtfbu766667890sdfawefkq23r7890awefsdmnasdjklascbjhascguykASCFGUY1234234BHK,J;FDDDWwwwww6666666666666666gyne3e3scaguynkasguyasdguynkaghka689068906890689068906890bj,rfgjkl
  3. Hey Bud, Hayfever? Allergies? Are you referring to Hypersensitive Pollinosis? Man I got it bad.
  4. Edinburgh, Hibernian, in a valiant effort to extend their losing streak in the Scottish Cup to a record-breaking 115 years, they totally fluffed it - they hibs'ed it! In other words, congratulations, I am genuinely pleased for you. well done.
  5. I also read that Europeans are more tolerant of alcohol because historically it was used for safe drinking water in overcrowded areas whereas Asian countries went for tea and other parts of the world did not have the overcrowding issue. In other words, if your Chinese friends get smashed after only half a glass of cider then you can blame their great great great great grandparents.
  6. Not as bad as Tristan da Cunha which is similarly isolated - population 267 - and only 7 surnames (.. of which 4 suffered from Asthma) Pitcairn Island is not quite so isolated but has a population of only 56 (..and is part of Kent Constabulary for some bizarre reason)
  7. St Helena Airport was supposed to open this week, including a royal visit by Prince Edward However that has been delayed indefinitely because of windshear issues. Assuming you could afford to go - to the remotest inhabited island in the world - would you be tempted to go? (This is where Napoleon was sent after Waterloo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQiQtdq1C3g (BTW: Tristan de Cunha also claims to the remotest inhabited island but at least it as other islands nearby)
  8. In Inverness, there is a roundabout under the A9 that connects to the A96. There is a ramp to take you up to the A9 heading north. It has a slow lane and a fast lane but a lot of slow cars go into the fast lane because they will going into the right hand lane for the next roundabout just before the Kessock Bridge 1 mile on. Come to think about it, I also don't like it when people get into the right hand lane for the Tore roundabout about two miles beforehand. Actually, now that I think about it there are several other places where this annoying behaviour occurs (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee spring to mind as well as the Perth bypass heading south towards Edinburgh) Also, I don't like people who use too many words to get their point across.
  9. Yes you indicate but is it left for turning left and right for turning right or do you try not to be so predictable? Please clarify.
  10. Have you thought about moving to Durness in Sutherland. 1. Nobody slows down to 30 because nobody is going that fast in the first place 2. Miles and miles from ASDA Robroyston 3. No lorries overtaking since it is mostly single track 4. Miles from any roundabouts 5. No overtaking.lane Problems solved Oops, 6. Drivers who do not indicate - on second thought stay where you are.
  11. Windows 10 looks virtually identical to Windows 7 and it is very easy to set everything up.
  12. Totally agree. That is why the scissors are always kept in specific places and it really gets on my nerves when people move them - although sometimes it is actually me - which really makes me hate myself for a minute or two, but then I get over it.
  13. People who give three replies instead of combining them into one.
  14. When you race through a packet of cornflakes to get to the toy at the bottom and after you do it isn't even there!
  15. When an ex-Mayor of London starts talking about Hitler like I am supposed to know who he is.
  16. Petty things that really annoy me - yeah I got one. Computer applications that have buttons greyed out without giving you the slightest f***ing clue why they are greyed out. The new computer is going through the window soon.
  17. No - not really but now that you mention it - something else to get annoyed about! Thanks. More talking points for my anger management classes - they go on so long and I can never think of things to say!
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSngzjqMF38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHlODWd4GeM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOWOdKs6KUo Ricky Nelson's Summertime - the original riff although the song was a cover Deep Purple White Night Blue Magoo We ain't got nothing yet
  19. After wandering into a pub full of angry looking Rangers supporters - do not say "Hey this is great. I am an old firm supporter too!" (Actually if it was a pub full of angry looking Celtic supporters - it might not be a good idea either).
  20. Turned into a mini series with Charles Dance and Colm Meaney Not available on Region 2 DVD though
  21. I saw black box thinking in Waterstones - paperback (red cover) - Buy 1 Get 1 half price. That is in Inverness but there is probably a Waterstones closer to you. It is an excellent book.
  22. Just finished "56" by Martin Fletcher He survived the Bradford City fire - but his brother, father, uncle and grandfather did not He was also at Hillsborough when that happened (albeit as a fan of Nottingham Forest) Interesting to note attitudes to football fans then compared to now.
  23. If this is going to be your attitude to the job, I don't think you should apply. Oops, sorry - this is something you think your kids might say.
  24. Good point. Are there other kinds of eyeballing - for example, automatic eyeballing or remote eyeballing?
