    There's a general rule of thumb I've seen on this thread - the pettier the complaint, the better the compo face.

    Remember also to stand in front of the freezer with a suitable compo face on.

    Residents left angry by Greater Manchester house which looks like a 'bombsite' and attracts rats

    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.

    Saw the BBC weather this morning. The red zone seems to be from Arbroath to Stonehaven.

    Well, that's that. I'm never eating fresh food again. Pre-processed all the way from now on.

    We had loads of kids at our wedding. We planned our day differently - wedding was at 2 (I think), followed by the reception and food. Kids going mental having fun at a wee disco while all hyped up on sugary things. By 5 it was done and everyone went home, then the wife and I went to see a show in the evening. Had we wanted the traditional piss-up into the wee hours we probably would have had to ban kids, or at least discourage them.

    Often accompanied by (shouting over the noise of kids getting up to leave) "Remember, read chapters 8 and 9 for tomorrow!"

    Talking to the window cleaner a couple of days ago. He was due to do someone's house last Saturday when the rain was torrential. He didn't go, and when he contacted the woman to let her know she apparently gave him a mouthful of abuse.

    Same here. Thought he went about 10 years ago.

    Classic rock, Glam rock, Grunge, Nu Metal... Rock always changes. But when was it at its best?

    The Last Of Us

    scottsdad replied to capt_oats's topic in US TV

    My daughter started playing the game and has got right into it. So, I suggested, why not watch the TV show too? Just finished episode 3, with Bill and Frank. As before, so emotional. I've got at least one tear in my eye right now. The most beautiful hour of TV in years.

    @Granny Danger and I sometimes bump heads, but this is slanderous. He never, ever, not once said a word about expelling Jews from Israel. Long story short, @Donathanneeds to get a life and stop saying shit like this.

    The red warning seems to be between Dundee and Aberdeen. So, nothing to worry about.

    My brother hired Neil Warnock and he cancelled at the last minute. Maybe best to avoid him. And - despite being a Bairn - he has hired Jim Leishman more than once. Speaks highly of him.

    Really enjoying this thread, but in the interests of balance... What drinking establishments have you been to that were awful? And why?
  20. scottsdad
    Nonsense! That episode is an utter, utter classic and more like that would help the peace process.

    Red dotted the first one because PLO & Bovril is shite patter. Red dotted the second one because it is untrue. Hope this clears things up.

    Baws. Thought this was in the General Nonsense section! Football-related, Falkirk have so, so many. So many chancers who came and messed everything up. So many pisspoor appointments. But the big one is probably when Falkirk appointed John Prentice as manager in 1973. The other candidate/possibility was Alex Ferguson, who was a player/coach at the club at the time.

    Article about Brian Cox in today's Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/oct/18/brian-cox-succession-game-of-thrones-bach 1. He was offered the role of Robert Baratheon in Game of Thrones and turned it down. 2. Turned down the part of the Governor in Pirates of the Caribbean.

    McIlroy, Joshua and Alexander-Arnold among F1 Alpine team co-investors This is a strange one. I saw James Vowels at the last race talking about F1 finances - almost all the teams are making losses. Alpine aren't exactly a big name, they're in a near-permanent state of crisis. Still, free tickets.

    Been re-watching the 1960s Batman TV series. I watched it as a kid and never revisited it before. I had no idea it was a complete piss-take. The whole thing is set up as a joke, and as such is very entertaining. It's pure comedy.
