This announcement is getting a bit tantric. Taking ages.

My wife was going a bit mad with one this morning, but I appreciate the effort. The internet was down in her office most of the morning. 12 pm comes and goes, no internet. No work getting done. The wife breaks out her packed lunch and gets stuck in. Her office mate turns to her and says "Not me. I'll take my lunch when the internet is back up."

Look at that picture. Then think about how many Alba types follow his cult. Jeeezo.

A mate of mine has the surname McIntyre but has a personalised number plate with MAC in it.

Not with that attitude it can't.

I'd head off now if I were you.

Johnny Herbert and Paul di Resta leaving Sky https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-11679013/Johnny-Herbert-Paul-di-Resta-AXED-Sky-Sports-coverage-Formula-One.html

Was the first of these David Icke? A mild mannered broadcaster, reading out the sports results on BBC breakfast. Then came this interview with Wogan:

Might avoid this one and go to another game - cheers guys!

Turner and Hooch Struggling to find something to watch with the kids last night, I came across this old classic on Disney Plus. It took a bit of convincing them that a 35 year old film was worth the effort, but they trusted me. It was fun - a few good laughs and a feel good movie all round... But I had completely forgotten that the fucking dog gets shot to death at the end. Utter minter from me. The dog is lying on the table, the vet is shaking her head. The kids - expecting a modern day miracle of the dog perking up - were horrified. What a brutal ending.

Almost a decade ago, and he was anti-Trans then. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/yes-campaign-distance-themselves-pro-independence-2266858 Love the picture of the goon the Record used in this article.

6 for Thursday. The first 6 correct, the last 4 wrong.

As a neutral, that statement is a shocker. Not backing him, not sacking him. About to throw him under the bus but pulling him back at the last second. Leaves the fans, the manager and the club nowhere.

Oh no I'm not!

And an old Bernard Manning one. He's doing his routine and it's going badly. A guy in the audience stands up and Manning demands to know where he is going. "I'm away for a shite before the comedian comes on"

I joined the civil service in 2006, based in Edinburgh. There was a policy at the time that any new civil service jobs created or headquarters should be outside of Edinburgh. Scottish Natural Heritage's headquarters moved to Inverness for example. There were a lot of worried civil servants that they might get relocated to the far flung reaches of the country like, say, Stirling (which was always used as the example for some reason). But the idea was simple - decentralise the government. Also it was cheaper - a big new headquarters in Edinburgh costs more than the same building elsewhere. When the SNP came to power they dropped the policy.

Another thing that seems to have gone is the comedy double act. Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Cannon and Ball, Little and Large, etc. Most were shite to be fair (Trevor and Simon, Mel and Sue and so on)

I'm beginning to suspect that the Tinnitus Hotline isn't actually staffed Any time I call, it just keeps ringing.

Paul Sheerin to return and take the hot seat?

Whole bunch of prominent posters have vanished in the last couple of months. Oaksoft wasn't only emptied, but in such a way that all his old posts were deleted also. Nobody really knows why, though he was melting down regularly on the gender thread. Clown Job for hijacking the Celtic v Kilmarnock thread Marshmallo in exile. A few others also. Also not seen much of the Stormzy aliases (or the other ones that regularly come to the surface like a corpse in a lake) for a while.

Might make it to this - never been to their stadium before. Is it any good? And where is good for parking?

Happy birthday

I once shared an office with a French girl who was very highly strung. She was obsessed with people touching stuff on her desk. So, naturally, every day I (and the other couple of people in the office) would come in in the morning and move the keyboard, mouse, monitor and so on. Just a little, but she always knew her stuff had been messed with. She complained to our boss. He frankly was the worst one for winding her up. At home he had a kids desk, like the old primary school ones with the lid that lifts up. He had planned one day to swap her desk for this one but couldn't think where to put her normal one, so settled for the chair. She came in and her office chair had been replaced by a little wooden one that was made for 5 year old kids. Meltdown. Utter meltdown, far beyond what was called for. The boss brought her chair through (claiming to have found it in a cupboard) and she settled down.
