  1. Wordle 193 5/6 Tough one. Looking above though, seems I'm in the minority.
  2. Wordle 191 4/6 Took ages this morning.
  3. Positive LFTs all round in our house so just awaiting our PCR results. Glorified cold just now so fingers crossed nothing more serious. Feel for the kids, Christmas day in the house without seeing their Grannies.
  4. Lockkheart is the absolute definition of a VL
  5. Dream appointment is obviously McInnes. Won't happen though. I would have said Rutkiewicz a month ago but Stirling seem to have fallen off a cliff. Ian Murray but we won't pay compo. Colin Warnock for the banter would be absolutely hilarious.
  6. I had never been to a funeral until my Grans in 2014. Then in the following 15 months, I had then attended my Granda's and my Dad's. The Co-op even gave us a discount for my Dad's! Seriously. My Mum chose a humanist ceremony for my Dad. We met the guy who would be conducting it in a Wetherspoons in Greenock. He suggested we should write down some anecdotes and he would read the best ones out at the funeral. We got together with my sister and a few of his mates and we wrote down several memories. What a day/night this was, absolutely tremendous despite the awful circumstances. The guy spoke for a good 25 minutes, No hymns or prayers. A fitting send off. Awful couple of years though!
  7. Staying in a hotel within the park so technically didn't leave until we checked out.
  8. I'll add Legoland (Windsor) to this. Spent a couple of days here last week and it's just a glorified fairground. Theme park is certainly an overstatement.
  9. Blue Lagoon - Iceland. Thought Iceland was a magnificent country but this place was utter dreadful. Full of loud, overweight Yanks and extremely expensive to get in. You can visit other geothermal pools for about a tenth of the price. There's a reason why no Icelandic folk go here. Brighton. Really disappointing. Blackpool of the south in more ways than one. Hastings is far superior about 40 minutes away. Venice. Partly our fault this one but the whole place left us seething and desperate to leave. Went here on a day trip from Croatia. Over an hour coming off the ferry at border control and as we had the wee man's pram, was constantly being lifted up and over the bridges, dodging tourists everywhere. Sweating buckets. Also, 80 Euros for a gondola ride (which lasted less than half an hour).
  10. I'm on "nodding" terms with Martin Compston. His Dad knew my Dad and played in the same boys club as him back in the mid 90s. Despite being incredibly rich, successful and good looking, he always gives me a wee "awrite" if I ever see him about Greenock.
  11. 1st real day as an apprentice (The Monday was an induction). Out in the van with a guy called Cliff who had The Prodigy on his tape player. Didn't hear anything till I got home that day when my mum mentioned it. Went on the supporters bus that night to Airdrie and seen Morton get pumped 3-0.
  12. In it to win it this year again, yeah prices are harsh but there are some potential bargains aswell.
  13. Aye, caught up with this one last nigh. Genuinely had to watch it twice to see if I missed something obvious. Nope. Didn't really get it either!
  14. I managed to get 2 cat 3 tickets on Monday evening for 50 Euro each.
  15. Called the 0800 number regarding my vaccine appointment having read this forum. Appointment booked for this Saturday at Greenock Town Hall. Get the nail bars opened!
