Meant to add, the signs were all still there but the trundle wheels had all been nicked.

Rishi appreciates your efforts.

He'll be on my next list, no danger.

Back in 97, I had a summer job at Stirling Council surveying the roads. There were 8 of us, and two trucks. The trucks sat 6 people, and they were a kind of flat bed so we could chuck our signs and equipment in the back. We took turns taking the trucks home at night. The council approved as they felt the trucks were safer at our houses overnight than in their yard. Apparently local Rap Tap schemies were vandalising them. One monday we got into a truck and it was in a hell of a state. Smelled of beer, weed and piss. Stains everywhere. We had to spend the next 8 hours on a hot day in this tin can. Turns out one guy took it home on Friday, then took it to T in the park with his mates for the weekend. They slept in it, got pissed and high and just wrecked the thing.

That's my captain and vice captain away now. Happy days on this sad day.

One of the few movies that defies the odd/even rule. Maltz! Choi choo! Then you never saw Makltz again.

They got it wrong. Shouldn't it be Bland Boys?

I am trying to get me head around this point. Cruise Control should be programmed to tell the difference between washing the car windows and rain? Would you ever do 70 on the motorway, on cruise, and decide to break out a bucket and squeegee, hang out the window and start cleaning?

I think the 1998 Strathaven Gala Day has finished by now. You should be safe.

As spin-offs go, Burnside was shite. Made The Bill look good.

The real problem was the portions. Like a reverse Man v Food, they brought out the world's smallest steak and cheese ciabatta and about six chips. Starving 2 hours later. No wonder folk in Fife look like something out of The Walking Dead. They are all emaciated.

Took my step daughter and her fiancee for lunch today in Dunfermline. Parking was cheap enough, less than £2. I had no coins on me. But...I could pay with RingGo. Phoned the number...apparently they cannot process anything on my phone. I had to download the app or use the website. I used the website. Mobile data on, 10 minutes of registering, pass codes being texted, entering car and location info...eventually managed it but fucking hassle.

To give a direct comparison of how the team performed on both types of grass.

I appreciate you're considering home advantage and the (perceived) added advantage to playing on artificial grass. However you're looking at the odd team here and there. There are proper scientific studies that have looked at this. I'll put it one here again. The effect on home advantage when a team changes from grass to artificial turf – a worldwide study in professional football (International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport) There are loads of other studies on physiology, etc

I read this as "Change Scottish Labour"

Two things. I put research papers in the other thread showing - a worldwide study and others - that shows no advantage to playing on plastic. Let's put that to bed - it does not exist. Second - what happens if a club playing on plastic is promoted to the top flight? Have you considered the implications on such a club?

7 Friday

I avoid the clubcard by shopping at Waitrose and M&S. Sometimes Harrods.

Is it one shite per day off?

After about 9 days of no beer, I drank a few last night. Thames Water are now in charge of my arse, the amount of shite that has sprayed out of it today. I have been for NINE shites today. Back on the wagon!

Schroedinger's Trump for the next 20 minutes...

Cock and balls party please

I feel so bad for St Mirren, facing the prospect of playing on plastic pitches that give the opposition a HUGE advantage. And extra virility. And protection from catastrophic baldness. Welcome to the forum @Doug somner
