No hatred at all and personally find the Killie lads alright. Fits nicely into a song though. Meeting up with a Killie supporting lad on the day, looking forward to it without much expectation, been ages since I was last at Killie away, I've also never seen us lose there Would just be nice to see us score a goal again.

Many years ago I worked for an IT Services company that did this sort of thing whenever a prospective client would visit. The receptionist or one of the managers would send this type of thing out in an email to all staff. I always got a good laugh at one particular comment of "make sure there are no unsightly boxes on desks" firstly, there was rarely a time someone had a box on their desk, secondly if there was, the standard of box I wouldn't regard as unsightly and lastly this client isn't going to come here close to sealing the deal, spot a box on someone's desk and think "Oh f**k did you see that box on the desk?! Close one that, we better get the f**k out of here!" I remember those days well, even the pre-hyphen days. Got many a resolution on that site tbh.

Don't know how single parents do it tbh, wouldn't even be able to even go for a shite in peace without the other half being around to look after the wee yin at that point.

A keen eye good sir. Surprised anyone actually reads the pish I write in here.

Sounds like a great job, I quite like doing bugger maybe I should have become a professor. I think I'd actually enjoy the teaching part as people would at least need to pretend to listen to me.

Worrying hallmarks of a team that is due a win after grinding out a lot of draws against some of the leagues better sides and finally scoring some goals now. Early goal(s) for us could be massive.

How long is he going away for meaning he can't teach? Sounds like your wife is on the money about him IMO.

How is the feeding getting on @Dons_1988? I read the last few posts and it reminded me of when my daughter was only a few months old, she got to this stage where trying to feed her was met with having about an ounce and then screaming the place down. Hugely stressful for me and her mum as she is our first, anyway, a guy I worked with recognised this / had the same experience, recommended Co Lactase and my word what a difference it made, night and day. If the above sounds familiar might be worth a try. How is your missus coping? I found the first few months the hardest by miles, you're sleep deprived, this little bundle of joy is crying and won't stop despite doing all the things you are supposed to. I said to the missus one troublesome night "we're not fucking having another one, honestly I can't do this again" now we laugh about it, it's inexperience on our part and we're better now. Speaking with other mums and support groups sound like a great idea, mine is in a WhatsApp group that seem to share everything childbirth and parenting related, I think a lot of it is bashing the fathers as well and just a general outlet for them. If you ever need a chat feel free to drop me a PM.

Never mind.

Trying her best to lose you imo. I knew it wouldn't be long before someone said it.

That's fair enough I think, we've all been there. I mind meeting my current gf at the end of her pub shift one night in the early days, then following her along a single track road, at the dead of night in the highlands, back to her house. To this day it's still the quickest I've ever seen anyone drive that road and I only kept up as I knew my car could corner better. Got to her house, enquired about the rush and it seemed she was just keen for other activities. Guess I just have that effect on women... Feels like double standards somewhere between these tales.

Walked out of the ground feeling like a loss that one. Absolute misery to jubilation and then misery again.

A masterclass in driving shithousery tbh. Surprised this has been up for a while and no one moaned about you doing 85mph, when someone on here had a go at me beeping my horn at someone who pulled out in front of me and seemed to have no idea I was on the road.

The smell of tobacco and coffee beans/ground I absolutely love. But neither smoke or drink coffee. A bit odd tbh.

I just googled William Shatner to see how he's looking/doing and f**k me I've never seen anyone who is 90 look like that. I'd have thought he was in his mid 60's to 70's, I'm absolutely stunned by that. He's a bit podgy as well, he must have a phenomenal facial surgeon or botox routine or just incredibly good genes.

You love to see the instant karma on the road, it's a rare treat. A good few years ago there was a lad tailgating me on Crow road, I'd seen him weave in and out of traffic and settled sitting right on my arse looking furious at me in no rush, doing 30mph. When I pulled off to Anniesland road he was still tailgating me all the way along the single carriage section and seemed right angry by this point. As soon as the parked cars cleared on dual and with me in full knowledge of the speed camera near the fire station I pulled in. He went roaring past the speed camera, double flash, not sure he even noticed at all. Had a good chuckle to myself.

A draw isn't terrible, agree this now and spend all night in the pub instead. I actually really enjoy Hamilton away, barring the result most of the time. Glad to have this fixture back.

Not a glowing report for Eigg then. I've never been, a one dayer just to see it might be something I'd do, less inclined to bother now. In some ways part of me is surprised how the locals acted and part is not. From the taxi drivers comments it sounds like the get a lot of insta type influencers visiting the island and they don't much care for them, perhaps why they weren't particularly friendly if "you looked like someone who'd be on that". Still sounds like a w**k to be fair. I'm sure I read an article a while back that highlighted the inhabitants as being drunk / drug users and that was all they were really interested in. Not sure how true that is, but the Scottish highlands is full of those types so can imagine not miles from the truth. The idea of living on a little island like this genuinely gives me the fear.

And that's probably a quiet night!

Don't fancy us on Saturday and Ayr were 14/5 on B365, too good to miss with our current banter of a defense. If memory serves me right, I don't think we've beaten Ayr at home since the 2013 promotion season. Awful tbh.

c***s in a car park, blazing drunk old bam dressed all in pink sauntering down the middle of the road going into the car park. When I got out the car I heard her shout at me "Here mate... " and then it was just indecipherable words. Could have been happy words or angry, I've got no idea, absolutely out yer bonce on a Wednesday at dinner time though, some life.

A combination of having the cold and still working from home has meant i'm living like a bit of hermit for the last week or so. I have realised I actually need petrol soon. Don't want to go down to the petrol station and A) look like a c**t panic buying petrol or B) getting denied petrol while also probably covering A) as well. Is it still quite bad in and around the Glasgow area? I seen pictures on the local Fb page of people queueing all the way down streets for petrol.

Ventured in here for betting insight, but, parking on Garscube road near Firhill road is probably a good shout, offers a good getaway to the M8. Bad time to indicate to QP fans I really fancy you for a coupon inclusion this weekend and QP have never lost when I bet on them. But, I'm having a shocker of a season in the gamblings. Doing the research it looks like it should be a win, but a lot of draws going on.

That makes sense, it's a total mixed bag for me these days. One job could be multiple interviews, one involving writing code to automate deployments while multiple people observed, asked questions about what I was doing and why (actually happened) I got the job, but it was not fun in any way. Other times it's like a half hour phone call about what I've been doing in the previous role followed by more or less an offer there and then. I find the difference incredible. I think the big fear is someone fires you a question and you just completely f**k the answer. Not now, but many years ago there was also financial pressures that meant literally get this job or lose the things you've worked so hard for (not my fault, sometimes these things happen) I don't even go for jobs with application forms, really cannot be arsed with that, thirteen pages is utterly ridiculous. Would have been an interesting chat. I doubt these bellends would have been involved in what I imagine to them, was a lowly IT position. Anyway, I'm glad it happened.

A long time ago I remember going for an IT related job at Glasgow Uni, I was fresh out of school, but smartly dressed and completely lost looking for a building. These four professors (i'm guessing) were walking towards me. I politely said "excuse me could you..." before I could even get to midway of the sentence they walked straight past me barely even glancing in my direction. I louder than I realised said "dickheads" one of them turning his head back with a wry smile and kept walking. I thought absolutely f**k this and left without doing the interview. The only time I've been a no show for an interview. Ended up getting another job that paid better.
