Walking on drawing pins is a pretty tacky punishment.

People who drive along with loud thump-de-thump-thump music blaring from their car, audible even when they have the windows closed. This also applies to neighbours sitting in their garden with the radio turned up. It may be your choice of music which is ok but don't inflict it on everybody around you. Dee-jays (are they still called that?) on the radio who tell listeners to turn the volume to max. No! The volume should be loud enough for you to enjoy the music without disturbing other peoples peace and quiet.

Still plenty of football on the go but not QoS.

When people ask me what I'm going to do on Saturdays now that the football season is over as if I don't have a life when there is not footy.

One of the many high points about being a pensioner, or approaching that status, is that you can get some pleasure in being surly and rude, whether genuine or put on, knowing that your actions will induce a fair level of seethe in those of less advanced years.

Mentioned in one paper today about Conroy being away but no confirmation from the player or club that I read. I would also like to see Durnan back at Qos but I think he is good enough to make it at a higher level (in the right team) so I wouldn't be surprised if bigger clubs take a chance on him. As you say he is still signed by Dundee Utd and their new Manager may fancy keeping him if he can convince their Chairman.

Quite agree but some people appear to want instant action. For all we know some of the prospective candidates may still be involved with teams.

As you found out, accidents can happen anywhere and without warning. Another reason why it's a bad idea for people, especially pished OAP's or doddery auld cnuts carrying shopping to try and walk up and down escalators.

I would suggest "Brownlie", although tbf I don't know what you're post means.

Was it The Origami Times?

Did the ghosts of your dead pets come back to haunt you?

No. No. No.

First World Problems for this pish. It is annoying though, I agree.

I can only echo what others have already said about next season's ticket prices. Well done. The BOD are doing as much as they can to encourage support along to Palmerston in this respect, let's hope their choice of Manager and the prospect of a better season can also boost the desire for some stay-away fans to return.

Learn to be an artist and 200 years after you die you will be worth a fortune. Genuine Tutankhamun artefacts do not have Made in Egypt stamped on the bottom. At the end of a meal in a snobby restaurant don't embarrass yourself by asking where the Dairylea triangles are when the cheese board comes round.

Oh ah'd rather be a jakey than a BEAST. Ji it is then.

I somehow had the feeling that seeking advise on here may not result in unanimous agreement.

After boiling an egg in a saucepan use the same water to make your tea/coffee, saving on water and electricity. Or put the egg in the kettle. Feel proud to do your bit to save the planet.

People who say "haitch" instead of "aitch" when spelling out the letter "H". They might be right but just sounds wrong. Also, what is the corrrect way to say the letter "J"? I say "Ji" (rhymes with pie) but a lot of people pronounce it "Jay". I feel not knowing the correct pronounciation may be hindering my progress up the social ladder.

Ladies, If you are embarrassed or upset at men who stare at your ample bosom and make suggestive comments, then avoid wearing low cut tops and bending over.

Something similar was being discussed on here about 2 months ago about people walking up and down escalators. If they are the stair-shaped escalators then I don't see the point in also walking up or down just to gain a few seconds, and it could cause an accident, but if they are the flat conveyor ramp style then walking up (or down as appropriate) is ok. I think I termed them up-scalators and down-scalators to differentiate the direction of travel.

'king hell, even Mother Teresa's pussy wasn't as wrinkly as that.

Stumped me on that one their MC, need clarification. I blame the education system for my poor spelling, to many poor teachers only interested in the long holidays.(and me not spell-checking before I post) I will try and improve my spelling for when you are reading the Championship Threads next season.

Unlucky MC, "advise" was not the mistake in that post my error was inserting "give" before it. Better luck next time.

Anybody who would even think that someone might lay laminate on top of existing laminate should f**k right off and not give advise. The type of flooring and underlay you choose depends on several factors. Is it a concrete or wooden sub-floor, what condition is the sub-floor in, is it in a Flat or upstairs room where you don't want sound travelling downwards, etc. Factors to consider when getting a price from someone, or deciding to DIY, should include the shape of the room (corners and angles mean more cutting and wastage), straightness of walls, the number of doors in the room ( properly fitting at doors thresholds takes extra time plus joining to existing floor coverings in other rooms), are there any radiator pipes or cables coming up thought the floor or along the skirting, will the room be clear of furniture? If you are reasonably competent and not too fussy about how long you take then there is no great problem with DIY but you will probably need to buy a floor fitting kit from the place you get the flooring from. There are on-line guide videos to help. Getting a price from someone to do it should take into account any of the above problems but a ballpark price of about £150 min does not seem too steep.
