  1. New Asgard is in Avengers: Endgame. This response is in no way an endorsement of the inclusion of that film in a top 10.
  2. Be interested to know what her explanation is for white knighting the Love Island Jim Davidson while slagging someone's autism.
  3. Just paying £3 for a doughnut is enough to get on this thread, never mind blocking the road by queuing for the privilege.
  4. I couldn't give a shit what Goodwin thinks about the city. Slightly more concerned that he's built a squad that's 2 or three good options deep in attack but threadbare in defence, that he's made our second worst player captain, he's slow to change tactics or formations that aren't working and that his substitutions almost always make things worse. Yesterday was our fourth abysmal performance against poor opposition so far this season. On the plus side, when the team is clicking we're a great watch and some of the signings have been exciting. I'd favour getting rid asap and letting somone else have the window, but if we let him bring in a first choice right back, centre back and squad midfielder i wouldn't be too distraught. (yet, and subject to not losing the next two games in similarly shite fashion.)
  5. Spanish data analysts? I thought there was only Juan. *Gets coat*
  6. The first half was as bad as i've seen us. The second wasn't much better. Get Goodwin to f**k
  7. You want bile and ignorance spread without challenge, that's up to you. Other opinions are available.
  8. I disagree. If someone is spouting superficially plausible shite and pretending to be reasonable i think a rebuttal is needed. I prefer either facts or a direct character assassination but i can see the attraction of a witty riposte or withering put down. No more than one or two posts (one factual, one "f**k off c**t") should suffice. What i think should be avoided is engaging in a point by point debate. Especially with new members on here who head directly to the politics forum to explain why Tommy Robinson is unfairly misunderstood.
  9. Traumazone : Russia 1985-1999 Peacemaker Andor
  10. Eventually catching up on Stranger Things after persuading the wife that the kids can watch a 15. Halfway through s4 and still great. The Volcano : rescue from Whakaari was a fascinating but fairly upsetting watch. Sandman. Episode one seemed like about four hours of ponderous shite so won't be continuing.
  11. Back when they used to rotate the lexicographers on Countdown, before it the Suzie Dent hegemony, i met one of them in a bar in Aberdeen.
  12. It might well have been but it was equally inaccurately given to Darren Mackie. Mackie however has no place on this thread as he had a remarkably consistent career despite never really showing any serious potential. I think it was Drew Jarvie (possibly another coach) who made the comparison. I just found a Herald article from 2002 with Ebbe's take on it. "He's not as good as Michael Owen." and " Michael Owen went through a spell where he couldn't score. " I do love Mackie though. And Michael Owen is a fanny.
  13. Haven't seen anyone saying they're surprised. Disappointed, embarrassed, angry? Yes, but it's not surprising. We, like all supports, have some fucking idiots. I hope whoever it was gets caught and dealt with properly.
  14. Just under 4 months here. Christmas was a test, well done with that. Weird not making a c**t of myself at the works do.
  15. This thread is quite saddening tbh. The number of promising youngsters we've had coming through that i 've had high hopes for and turned out to be on the fringes of full-time standard at best is way higher than those that have broken through. Bit if i had to nominate one, Bayern Munich being (allegedly) interested in Zander Diamond is it.
  16. Flares are cool as. Those wee skinny trousers that followed them and have made a comeback are the abomination.
  17. They're all new towns. There wasn't a Glenrothes before the concrete jungle. I think cumbernauld and EK (and Livingston) are the same but don't quote me on that. They were built for people decanted from unsanitary crowded slums in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
  18. I did enjoy spending ages in record shops and in Second hand book shops. Both are still widely available if a bit more niche and less widespread than before. Nostalgia for Woolworth's, debenhams someone even mentioned Burtons is just silly. Thet were all shit and would, in their day, have been seen as the big corporate b*****d putting local establishments out of business. The much lauded local butcher and baker were usually shit and worse than the big supermarkets that replaced them. There was a range of quality with the supermarkets landing right in the middle. Some above average ones were lost but the very best still remain. When i was a youngster a filter coffee was a sophisticated treat and maxwell house in styrofoam was the usual. Pizza land or a bad chinese was the hight of culinary adventure. My local high street (near end only) has four or five independent coffee bars, a nepalese, lebanese, vitnamese, 2 curry houses, 4 chinese, 3 pizza shops, not counting the italian restaurant, a greek taverna, an old style pub with live music, 2 more wine bar style pubs, a cocktail bar, a bookshop, a toyshop, a baker, an independent value retailer that sells random shite,a draper, 3 barbers, 2 nail bars and a live music venue. If i go the other way in 10 mins walk i have 2 german and two uk supermarkets, home bargains (x2) , b&m, poundland, tk max, shoe zone, several places to fix the car, a full range of drive thru (sic) fast food and chain coffee outlets. For browsing music, online is a different but much better experience than record shops. You can actually hear the music before buying and don't have to trek from say, aberdeen to Edinburgh's cockburn street to get a reasonable selection of dub, then take your chances on the two or three records you can afford. I don't think online replicates or improves old bookshops. I live in a largish growing city, and the city centre has bits that are boarded up and a shiny new shopping centre with expensive designer outlets. If people can save money on every day food and clothing and not buy it through ridiculously inefficient and expensive old fashioned supply chains they have money to spend elsewhere. That's partly how and why we are shifting to a service economy. Not all of the places that were good for old fashioned retail will be good for service provision. Plenty old market towns have reinvented themselves as cultural centres. Plenty haven't though. But not everywhere is in decline. There's some winners in among the losers. Change isn't necessarily bad.
  19. Thought this was a three o clock kick off and just popped in to check the line ups before watching on alba later. I won't bother now. Useless c***s.
  20. Maybe he meant as opposed to a roasting turkey. 5 minutes in the microwave, a minute cooling down and get in among the giblets. We've all done worse.
