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.

I did fancy them, but saw some of the QP fans mentioning injuries in the match thread, they've had a couple of draws recently and Peterhead will be desperate for points. ICT, were one of the teams that done the lads coupon last weekend as well, along with Fulham. I still fancy Caley to beat QotS though. Rotherham also look a good shout for the weekend. But just feels so unpredictable this season so far.

I generally prefer the interviews to the actual job. How come? There are always people like this, worked with someone who had on his CV that he could do basically everything and in reality he could do nothing. He ended up getting a contract where I was, fucked something up in the space of a month and was out the door a month later. He's in a new job every 3-6 months, I have no idea how he blags his way through interviews. I always keep at them, so hopefully I have a choice when it's time for a new contract, in the hope one day they bother me less. Probably my anxiety is the real reason behind the feeling.

Having a shocker in the lads coupon (as are the other lads) turning to P&B faithful for some early thoughts on weekend potentials. Everton, Bournemouth, Wigan, ICT and Stirling Albion all looking like good contenders this weekend. Thoughts?

Even to this day interviews still stress me out, despite having to do them a lot as a contractor, I don't know why anyone would put themselves through that. Also, if you turn up acting like you don't give a f**k, it's very easy to tell so won't get offered anyway.

Almost a daily occurrence I'll have a moan in the car about this. It's fucking laziness or not concentrating, I feel the majority of drivers on the road treat driving as a secondary task and something else is occupying their brain at that moment. People often get pissed off at me not listening to them in the car, it's purely because driving deserves 100% focus.

Sunday was a day for c***s on the road. Firstly an older guy in front of me meandering along an albeit short section of national speed limit at 28mph, it's short but come on to f**k. Then placed his car slightly left of centre on a two lane roundabout then indicating last minute to go right (third exit). Fucking can't stand these perpetually slow c***s. Then a red Audi on the M74, with no one in front to pass pulls out in front of me doing less than the speed limit, I flashed to let him go but he was going anyway. Then in the section where it joins the M8 tries to do it again, same scenario there is nothing in front of him, this time I'm too close that I think I'll just pass, he starts just moving over anyway and beeps his horn at me! I fucking hate clowns that think, ah well I'll just move over and you'll need to back off. Creepy looking goatee sporting c**t.

Have a day off eh?

You can. Well, you definitely could in the pre-covid days.

Is that because you can see her boob? Frantic scroll up from me there. Hadn't spotted that!
