They are lazy, arrogant wee bassas without a doubt. But they walk themselves and bury their own shit, which elevates them above dogs IMO. And your house doesn't reek of cat with a cat.

This isn't so bad, though generally I agree with ClathyDave above in that checking in anywhere is a bit sad The worst ones for me are people checking in at 'trendy' bars to appear as some kind of popular socialite, which is a close second only to people checking in at airports to remind everyone of their exciting jet-setter lifestyle.

I believe it's some kind of Dundonian cave-dweller talk for, that is definitely what guys from around this place do.

A thread about a foxy lass without a pic? Outrageous. Fixed.

Well perhaps if the good people of Falkirk got up off their arse and started committing some petty crime they'd get more coverage. Edit - another thing that gets on my nerves is how P&B randomly decides to post my comments in size 18 font.

This. From a friend's Facebook post earlier, this was a reply from one of his female friends - "that's well wit guys fae boot this end dae". Just horrible.

Deuchars IPA to kick off the evening.

The old North and East stands and one of Tannadice & Dens.

We tried this method when one of the 4 sharing our flat was the same, never lifted a finger for months. The rest of us decided to stop doing anything and after 3 days the kitchen was an absolute bomb site, and the messy guy cleaned the whole place top to bottom without saying a word. He also regularly cleaned up after himself from then on.

I went out with a girl years ago who was learning to drive. She was a reasonably intelligent girl but a horrendous driver, actually dangerous. I remember one time when I was giving her a driving lesson in my own car, as we approached a junction and I told her to take a left she said "your left or mine?"

I bought my first car from Arnold Clark, it was a few years old and luckily came with a 3 month warranty. Within the 3 months it was back in for repairs 7 times, including an engine replacement. On the 7th occasion when I called them with a problem I was told that I wasn't entitled to any more warranty work after everything that had been done previously - they must have been spewing at how much this shed they sold me had cost them since. Quick phone call to Arnold HQ to complain about the branch, and I got a grovelling apology and the car repaired again. After the warranty had expired the car gave me another 4 years of trouble-free service.

I hate when I'm in an unfamiliar pub/club and the toilet doors are marked with some kind of Egyptian hieroglyphics depicting men and women. I have to stand there for 5 minutes trying to interpret them so I know which door is which.

Tucking into a Christmas gift pack of ales, on a Hobgoblin at the moment. Couple of nice looking bitters to come after.

I got into home brewing a couple of years ago and have done 6 or 7 different 40 pint batches. Couple of different lagers, a few ales and a stout. Overall they all worked and vary in quality from drinkable to actually a good beer. The best one I did was the Coopers Irish stout, using black treacle instead of sugar for priming the bottles. One of the main things you can do to improve the quality of the brew is to use sptaymalt instead of sugar, and also the yeast supplied with the kits is often cheap n nasty stuff which can be replaced with a better variety. I found loads of good advice on the homebrewing forum.

Just a couple more days to go before everyones' newsfeed is inundated with "can't believe I'm back to work tomorrow" status updates.

A guy on mine regularly posts totally staged photos of his perfect life, usually showing the smiling wife holding a glass of champagne (cava) alongside the recent baby. It always seems to attract dozens of "you look so happy" comments. People who do this always make me think they're probably not as happy as they'd like others to think.

I'm not a huge whisky man myself but had a taste of one recently with an interesting story behind it. It's quite a long story but I'll keep it short. A customer from work living on the Isle of Mull received a call from a friend in Edinburgh, saying they thought an anonymous notice placed in the Scotsman was seeking a member of her family. On further investigation the notice was placed by the Glenfiddich distillery, looking for the rightful owner of a cask of whisky purchased by this woman's father in 1953. Some of her family went to the distillery to claim the cask, at which point they immediately offered to buy it back from them. She didn't tell me what the offer was, but she turned it down anyway and had the whisky bottled to take away. So they are now in possession of a number of bottles of 60 year old Glenfiddich, only one of which they are opening for the time being, and from which I had a wee nip. I wonder how much the distillery offered for the cask?

Sorry, forgot to add the obligatory photo of my Costa coffee, for which I just paid £7.99.

Not sure if this has been said previously but.. people who tag themselves at airports just to let everyone know how much of a jetsetter lifestyle they have. They are my new most annoying people on Facebook (and there's alot of competition).

This debt argument is hilarious. Multiple posters present official club statements of accounts, and quote interviews with the chairman of Dundee Utd Football Club. Dryhorce insists this is complete crap solely because Jim Spence didn't question something someone said. Surely it's just easier to admit when you're wrong rather than go to such lengths to keep insisting black is white

Stephen Thompson did an interview earlier in the season and said it had been reduced to 3m, from 6m when he became chairman. I seem to recall reading that at it's peak, when everyone in the SPL was overspending it was at around 7m. Either way, 15m is a complete makey-upper.

Actually speechless

I should have known better than to expect a reasonable response. For your information this came from the Utd chairman himself in an interview earlier this season, but yeah you're right he was probably wrong It's no wonder you seem to get a hard time on here when you're completely incapable of having a mature discussion with anyone who might disagree with you.

Was that a guess or did you just pick a random number? Utd have halved their debt from £6m to £3m in the last few years, making a profit in each of the last 2 years. Considering they have also recently tied up their most valuable assets on longer contracts I'd say they are more financially secure than most. Every player has his price of course, as they also do at Man Utd or Real Madrid.
