The only thing worse than this comedy show trial is the army of people lining up on social media desperately posting on threads and Twitter tweets devoted to it, stating how they are far too good to be interested in such things and how terrible it is that rich people go about taking each other to court, like they haven’t been doing that shit for decades.
It's good that you said this without irony.

I haven't been following this case, but I think snippets on the news have given me the jist of it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are appalling, thick, tiresome people. The only thing worse than morons like these existing is that they only exist because the general public are demonstrably worse. There was a public appetite for the sort of tittle-tattle that this daft sow was selling to the papers, and there's a public appetite for the result of this case. If I actually met someone in person that was actively engaged by any of this I would drown them.

What was the advert with the whole crap poetry theme? Tick tock Marjorie Dock etc.?

In Summary:
Jim McColl is yet again a chancing C**t, and yet again Rangers fans would rather not blame him.
I seem to recall a rather similar scenario when he utterly screwed a whole bunch of loyal staunch employees of the old Weir Pumps in Cathcart. Funny that.0 -

A thicket of partitionists, whose raison d'être is to subvert Britain's territorial integrity, girning about the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Some would laugh it off as a piece of witty post-modern irony but it's simply pig ignorance.
You are a fucking moron.

Apologies if already in the thread, but:
Believe it or not, this stemmed from a tweet about free WinRAR.
The original tweet is gone, but that doesn't detract from Tom's resulting meltdown - both in the thread linked where he was quote-tweeted and in the original thread.
"Did you see her bra?" gave me a chuckle.

Next time you're in a newsagent (or, more likely, the wee magazine section in the supermarket), take a gander at the covers* in the women's magazine section. There are multiple publications that exist to lay out the next month's worth of soap opera storylines. So you buy the magazine, read about exactly what's going to happen in your terrible TV programme, then watch said programme to make sure they don't deviate from the script, presumably.
* try not to be traumatised by headlines like "RAPED BY MY PARENTS THEN MUM DROVE ME TO SCHOOL" or "MY KILLER HUBBY IS ALSO MY BROTHER AND A GHOST AND ALSO MY ADOPTED GAY SON". Seriously, what's that shit all about?
Any excuse for the old Viz classic:
In all seriousness though, those magazines are appalling. And really not good for people imo. Most newspapers likewise.

A popular schoolyard insult among some folks I know was "Mac and Me". i.e. if someone considered ugly was speaking the correct retort would be "Shut it, Mac and Me".

I wasn't sure what an Air Tag was (I'm old) but it seems to be a wee tracker thing you can put on your keys etc. You can track them on your phone if they get lost. Seems that there have been reports of folk using them to track women.
My initial thought was that no-one was going to waste £30 on stalking the person above, but I realised I was being very mean-spirited.... of course you're not wasting £30. You can get the tag back off the body once you're done.1 -
I've seen something that suggested that pic was photoshopped.

They have been encouraging us for months not to use cash, contactless for everything. At the worst of lockdown shops even stopped the need for a coin to get a trolley. I used to always have cash on me, but event he pubs have gone contactless.
Now Morrisons have reintroduced the need for a pound coin to get a trolley and been caught out as don't carry cash any more. Pain in the arse.
13 hours ago, Mr. Alli said:What is it about the £1 trolley you can't stomach but normal trolleys are fine.
As in, are you fine using parking machines and vending machines etc? (If I am correct in assuming it's the whole £1 slot thing?)
12 hours ago, Thorongil said:It’s the sheer insult and inconvenience of it. I don’t use parking machines, I use the RingGo app or use my phone to pay via Apple Pay. If a vending machine doesn’t have contactless I don’t use it.
I’m not carrying around coins. It’s almost 2022. As if I’m going to steal a shopping trolley.
Plenty of supermarkets don’t have this arcane practice of having to use a pound coin to get a trolley. If a supermarket does do this then I simply will not use it.

If they want to stop people stealing them they should adapt the exploding collar technology out of The Running Man.
12 hours ago, Thorongil said:I know, right? And honestly, who steals shopping trolleys? It’s not 1985 when there were 4 channels on the telly and kids had nothing better to do.
Sorry for the multiple quotes, but I made a fud of it.
Anyway.
Thorongil - you're having a head's gone on this. That's fine though. Thread is about being annoyed about petty things.
The thing about this is that it's not about the supermarket per se, it's about the locale. The same supermarket chain will have stores where you don't need a pound/token and stores where you do. This will be based on the behaviour of their customers. Nowadays most trollies have an inhibitor once you get out the car park, so it's not even about lost trollies, it's about having to reclaim them from areas of the car park where they've been abandoned by morons.
Put simply, if your supermarket makes you use a token for a trolley its because most of your fellow local citizens are lazy scum who don't put the trollies back.
(None of this is hard and fast, I think all Aldis and Lidls still have tokens needed, but that's a reflection that they're not willing to spend money on a person collecting trollies that posh folk have abandoned).During covid lockdowns a lot of the supermarkets stopped making people do this, as it was seen as unnecessary opportunity for transmission, but they've gradually slipped back to it.
I do admit to avoiding places that do it. Lidl and Aldi get a pass as I can usually fit stuff in the big baskets, but I don't have coins any more and can't be arsed with a token. I live in Bishopbriggs and my local supermarkets are Morrisons and Asda. Neither make you use tokens. The next Asda over in Robroyston makes you use tokens. So I don't go.
So if your closest supermarket annoys you by doing this, blame your local residents. They are the reason.0 -

Read an article yesterday about making a bottle of infinity whisky. Writer spoke about adding a dram to an empty bottle each time he opened a new one. Seems like quite an interesting idea. Have any of to big lads tried it?
On 07/11/2021 at 10:25, CountyFan said:I have one. Think a few of the regular whisky thread posters do too, it's come up before. Mine is probably 4 years old or so by now. Changes all the time as you drink a little then re-fill with something else.
I think The Good Spirits Company are pretty far on with this - on a cask level though. Barrel in the shop, constantly topped up. No idea if contents are good though!

I have from the SMWS society. Im sure the bottle was over 20 years but as somebody mentioned its grain whisky so didn’t excatly blow my mind but tasted fine. As for the ‘North British’ thing it was a common term for Scotland back then (1800s) especially in Edinburgh where you had the North British hotel and the North British railway also based there.
Proof, if proof be need be, about the way Edinburgh has always been.

If you take the SNP out of the mix, England's as divided between the two big parties as ever. Barring the odd protest vote that the Liberals get every twenty years or so when the Tories are doing something unpopular to the middle-classes, there's barely any reason for the other parties to exist.
Westminster desperately needs some form of proportional representation, but it's hard to see a way that it would ever happen, considering there's absolutely nothing to gain for either Labour or the Conservatives. It would be like Celtgers voting to abolish their veto.
That's all more or less true, but given the increased influence of lunatic fringe parties such as UKIP/Brexit, the Lib Dems getting some degree of power during to coalition years, increasing influence of The Green Party, the forementioned rise of the SNP in Scotland, and in fact all of the factors involved in Devolution in general, I'd say that we're still further away from the usual 2-party situation than at any point since WWII. For all that the Lib Dems made an arse of it, they still actually got a portion of influence, far more than achieved since the old SDLP days.
I just don't see that we've moved towards an Americanised system at all.
You could definitely make the case that the way the media treats politics and the personality-driven context in which political discourse is now occurring has followed in the footsteps of the colonies.1
