  1. 'She called me a PC thug.' 'I've been called a greasy thug too, Lisa, and it never stops hurting. Here's what we're gonna do: Grease ourselves up real good and trash that place with a baseball bat.'
  2. Great episode. When Homer picks up the book titled 'How To Tunnel Out Of Prison'. 'Mmmmm, this could come in handy' and then batters Moleman over the head with it and runs away. And: 'That's what you get for not hailing to the chimp'.
  3. 'Now for some unpleasant news, I have learned that someone in the room is a squealer. We've narrowed it down to either Johnny Tightlips or Frankie the Squealer.'
  4. 'OK, don't panic. She can't have gone far, she has no arms.'
  5. I absolutely love that bit. Up there with the best.
  6. People that queue at a petrol station in order to have the pump on the same side as their petrol tank filler. Do they not realise that the pump will reach round to the other side of their car? It shouldn't bother me because it generally means I can get in and out quicker but the stupidity of some people seriously annoys me.
  7. I did a beef stifado last week. Really tasty: 1 Packet Cubed Beef Onion 4 or 5 Shallots 2/3 Cloves Garlic Half to 3 Quarters of a carton Passata Glug of Red Wine Glug or two of Red Wine Vinegar 3 or 4 Allspice seeds Cinnamon Stick 2 Bay Leaves Fried off the onions/shallots/garlic and browned the beef in olive oil first, added salt and pepper then bunged everything in the pot. Cooked for about 10 or 11 hours at low.
  8. I am sure I heard the truly appalling 'more healthier' in one of those probiotic yoghurt commercials. Almost choked on my Yakult, I did.
  9. This morning I used two hotel soap bars in the shower. They started off the size of mini frisbees and did not end up like actual size paracetamol. Presumably because I used two.
  10. Accounting rules mean that revenues and expenses have to be matched in the periods they occur, regardless of when the cash changes hand. The deferred income will be the percentage of the total season tickets sales that relates to matches that haven't taken place in the reporting period (money received that hasn't actually paid for goods or services yet). You are not allowed to account for possible future ticket sales (future gate receipts). Hope that helps.
  11. Morning! No real surprises yesterday, other than a fine given to a penniless company in liquidation. Trolling from Nimmo-Smith? Beautifully done if so. I think the most interesting thing will be Scottish Football's next 'insolvency event'. I can't help but think that the authorities have now backed themselves into a corner. In the past there were some pretty clear dis-incentives to going out of business. Loss of 'history', loss of your name, and most importantly loss of your league status (Gretna and Airdrieonians being the two most recent who were told to GTF as a 'warning' to other clubs to keep solvent). Now it has gone the other way. The only 'punishment' in place is being shoved into the bottom league. That in itself, I believe, creates an incentive for clubs to engage in financial mismanagement, especially if they are already in the lower leagues. How could the authorities justify not treating another club like they have treated Rangers?
  12. A deadline? How exciting. Will we find out the quantum then, or will that be at a later date?
  13. Car Problem: My exhaust pipe has detached at one end (the front) but is still attached to the back of my car. Is it OK to drive it like this to the garage? The pipe has moved out of it's normal housing and is slightly wedged under the back of my car (at aroung 90 degrees to where it would normally sit).
  14. Yes, flight is from outside the UK to Glasgow. British Airways was actually cheaper but wasn't direct.
  15. €1.15 to the £ when I booked. They also give you the rate in €:£ not £:€ in the hope you don't notice.
  16. Ryanair website. Prices in Euros the whole way through the process but they charge you in GBP. To say the exchange rate they use was eyewateringly poor is an understatement (€1.08 to the £). And you only find out when they give you the confirmation.
