  1. I am pleased - no, delighted - to say I know f**k all about the arse cheek's songbooks. Someone could tell me that Agadoo is actually a reference to some ancient battle and I wouldn't know if they were being truthful.
  2. Fosters. The garage were doing him a favour.
  3. I imagine his parents giving him a "strong" name. Agamemnon maybe, or Ivanhoe.
  4. I have a family full of Archibalds. This is a Nigel.
  5. The English flood map site is excellent. The Sepa one is shite. Is there an unofficial site that gives a simple flood map for Scotland?
  6. This really boiled my piss at the time. Took me years to read another Conn Iggulden book.
  7. Folk looking for love but not using Hinge, they're unhinged.
  8. The new metal shed I got in the summer is fucked. Blown over, the screws that were anchoring it to the base just went through the metal rail at the bottom, like ripping an earring out of an ear, the hole is now a gash.
  9. We should airdrop CDs over the region playing this. It would make everyone chill a wee bit.
  10. I didn't believe that a friend of mine had a picture of his mum after a bukkake party with The Monkees. Then I saw her face.
  11. "And look son, if you piss as hard as you can into the bowl, it makes your cock sound bigger." "That's great dad, but you've ruined my cornflakes."
  12. Can't believe I missed Saddlers in Alloa off my list. I got a job there as a 16 year old washing the glasses. Paid in cash, and in beer. It was a very nice building, had 2 bars. It was packed on Fridays and Saturdays, my working nights. The only downsides were the smoke (this was ~1995, pre-smoking ban), some nights it got to my eyes, and the occasional bit of fisticuffs. We had bouncers on the door and they dealt with it all pretty quickly. That place has memories of many, many "firsts" for me. Hogmanay was an utter blast, lots of folk having a blast. This was the height of Britpop, and so Blur and Oasis playing on heavy rotation. It was brilliant.
  13. Fair enough! Let's say instead if you have a funny/amusing story about a dump of a place, it's welcome here. Keep it light.
  14. Just look at this map. The red zone is complete "chipper" territory. The amber zone is mostly chippers. I think it's safe to say, God has entered the debate on what they are called, and made his will very plain. Chippies are safe, chippers must be destroyed.
  15. Photos taken from a distance. The waves are Out Of Reach.
  16. There's a general rule of thumb I've seen on this thread - the pettier the complaint, the better the compo face.
  17. Remember also to stand in front of the freezer with a suitable compo face on.
  18. Residents left angry by Greater Manchester house which looks like a 'bombsite' and attracts rats
  19. When I lived in Wales I liked the Cwm and Llantwit Workment's Hall. Cheap booze, snooker and pool table, food was OK. The wife wasn't keen, mainly because of the line on the floor 6 feet from the bar that women weren't allowed to cross, or the room with the arcade machines that women weren't allowed in. This was 2004. There was a pub in Tonypandy that was rotten though. Wish I could remember the name of it. The food - chicken curry, with naan brad and a big dollop of (unasked for) mushy peas. The pints were warm, the floor sticky. The wife refused to drink anything not in a bottle, it looked so manky. I only had a couple of pints and was sick for most of the night.
  20. Saw the BBC weather this morning. The red zone seems to be from Arbroath to Stonehaven.
