Lawrence Wankland, amirite?

I know The Rangers* love holding records for things, how about another star on their jerseys to celebrate the fastest hat-trick in CL history?

Seem to recall their fans saying "Gio's fine in Europe, it's the domestic game he doesn't cope with"

“HailHailHayley” and her family are definitely armchair Celtic fans that have their big day out at the Piggery once a season where they’ll pose for insta photos and that. The rest of the time they’ll be cheering on the Bhoys from their local or watching from home.
I strongly suspect it's one of our Rangers fans.

Just popping into the thread to say I like it when Dundee United lose, and I hope their fans are very very unhappy.

We used to have an ancient McVitie's biscuit tin, a metal tube with a lid, that was really handy. One day it disappeared which I thought was weird, so I found another one online, then that one disappeared too. Turned out that my sister who visits regularly thinks that biscuit tins let too much air in to store biscuits, so she hid them in the garage. She's also ultra strict about recycling and avoiding single use plastics, then double wraps absolutely every thing in clingfilm and plastic bags.
Sorry. Your sister, who visits regularly, hid your biscuit tins in the garage? And is also "strict" on other stuff while round?
Tell her to f**k off.

Enjoyed the first episode of The Sandman. Having never read the comic I'm not sure if it's a faithful adaptation of it, but with Gaiman involved I assume it must be?
It is and it isn't, but either way I've been enjoying it!

Both filmed in Glasgow.
The city's jinxed.
Have they not filmed bits of most of the Bat films in Glasgow since Nolan's films started the trend?

We used to amuse ourselves by firing ping-pong balls with gunpower in at roofs. The bang would create a stir.
Also a lot of fun firing forest nuts at the rooves of caravans in the Callander Holiday Park. We'd sit among the trees on the hill that overlooked the park and fire them. We'd be rewarded by a distant "ding" when they hit, followed by an irate holidaymaker coming out their van and looking around fruitlessly for the culprits. Whiled away many a summer hour doing that.

I dont really care what The Pleasance pr dweebs say, and couldnt really care less if JS got his wee tadger out on stage (people naked at the fringe is pretty normal) but I think the days of it being acceptable to get up on a stage and use the term "paki" died with my dads generation.
Appreciate you mean in context of abuse, but thought it worth mentioning that Paki, and other slurs, were used in Richard Herring's Hitler Moustache show, and that was a polemic against racism. IIRC he claimed to "hate Pakis" as part of the routine, but the context was critical, as it was a theatrical conceit to mock the hypocrisies and irrationalities of racists.

You're a connoisseur of the gutty I see. A must have when growing up in the 80's. The Rolls Royce of guttys if you will
A lovely bit of kit, especially because it would fit in a back pocket after the wrist-brace folded up.
That said, a mate of mine made us all jealous by upgrading to a Diablo.

If it was lower arm I'd have got a lift, upper arm is a tad sorer I now know. But in any case, I have learned my lesson.
Saw the X-Ray. Got all floating bits in there, which explains it being nippy. They've given me co-codamol, which I take as an insult. We used to party. I don't want drugs for lightweights. Give me something I can use for a spot of time-travelling.

Broke my arm yesterday. It might qualify as PTTGOYN due to the stupid way I did it. Was having a water fight with the kids, and slipped on the back step, decked it and snapped the humorous on the edge of the next step, halfway between the shoulder and elbow, like a twig.
The real PTTGOYN is the folk running the 999 service. This all happened in the afternoon, maybe 4 o'clock, and they said 20 mins for an ambulance, which obviously I immediately knew was bullshit, but I wasn't in a position to argue. They also told my wife not to give me any painkillers. An hour later some duty doctor called to say an ambulance hadn't yet been allocated. I wasn't too bad at this point, as I'd flopped the arm into my chest and was running high on endorphines. I said fair dos, but asked what the worst case scenario for the wait was, and she said another 45mins. She also said I could happily take paracetamol and that the other person shouldn't have told me that.
I'm obviously cynical about the ambulance actually coming at all, but with a 7 year old and 3 year old in the house, and no-one nearby to look after them, I was a bit stuck.
After another hour my wife called to ask expected TOA. Ambulance still hadn't even been allocated. By this time the endorphines have well and truly f*cked off, and the pleasing numbness has been replaced with throbbing agony. Every time I shifted even fractionally I could feel the top and bottom halves of the bone grinding against each other.
Eventually I call a mate who drives over from a few towns away and we manage to use a first aid kid to haphazardly strap the arm up, and drive to A&E. Strapping it up and getting me off the garden path and in and out his car was no picnic.
I love the NHS. Once I got to the hospital they were great. Straight in to X-Ray, straight through to get a brace on. send packing and need to go in on Tuesday to see if I need pins or whatever.
My gripe is the bullshit false hope given with the ambulance time. I know they're busy and they know they're busy. If it's going to be 3 or 4 hours then tell me that; don't wind me up with some ridiculous fantasy about 20 minutes. I reckon if I'd left for hospital when in shock or riding high on natural painkillers I could have managed with a fraction of the pain.Also I'm a bit annoyed that the next few months are a write-off, obvs.

The absolute, unending, relentless obsession with fennel on every fucking cooking show.
Fennel is disgusting and I simply cannot eat anything that has it as an ingredient, surely it's the "emperor's new clothes" of ingredients?
I'm not a fan when raw, but I like to use it along with the carrots, onions, celery when making a base for sauces or stews. Also, a pal of mine once did a thing where it was slowly braised in stock and red wine that I still think fondly of some 12 years later.

Big chat from Frodo here.
Hope he gets a piece of notepad with "your gran" on it.

People who call ibuprofen 'brufen'.
Absolute fannies.
In my experience they also refer to picking up "scripts" from the pharmacy.

Billy Connolly points out that people called Alasdair always tell you how it's spelt - "It's Alasdair - D-A-I-R."
Guilty, but only when giving folk my email address.
I get my name spelled incorrectly nearly all the time, because everyone is too used to dealing with the offspring of illiterates.

Sevilla offering 8mil for Morelos apparently.
8 million + another 17 million in add-ons to get close to his True Value, one assumes.

I've always seen him as a hero despite knowing nothing about him apart from his PIL stuff. I'm quite shallow musically, but it seemed a cracking name at the time.
I hate the stupid name. It annoys me, even after I found out the origin.
I also found out in later years that he called his autobiography "Memoirs of a Geezer". f**k's sake. Folk have gone up against the wall for less.
Being petty, I also recall he did B-Side remixes of Dodgy tracks in the Britpop years. I hate Dodgy with an excessive passion.

Mmm...you've taken that a bit far.
He did some very good work with PiL too, although some would put that down more to Glen Matlock and Jah Wobble.
I've always despised Jah Wobble.

Nor should they. Not sure what your point here is.
My contract states that occasional overtime if necessary is included in the expectations provided by my salary and I imagine hers does too. I'd have to check, but don't think it's an unusual feature, and furthermore unless someone actually works every hour they are employed for (which in my experience is rarely the case) I don't think it's brutally unreasonable either.
All that besides, the main focus of my gripe is when people spend at least as much time moaning about being too busy as would be needed just to get the work done anyway.-2
