    Bobs an absolute legend imo
    Here’s my favourite story on WILTY
     

    As good as the Chris Rea egg story was, the dentistry tops the lot for me. I was literally on the floor laughing in that way when you almost can't breathe. I think it was "Fuji 9" that did me in.

    Have you seen the one where he talks about scaring the locals of Castle Douglas when him and his friends went to see the effects of the Gulf Stream? That's my favourite.

    Aberdeen has got better posh bits than Edinburgh or Glasgow.

    I worked in Kelly's of Cults when I was a student.

    A woman was buying fennel and I had to ask what type of vegetable it was to key it in. She replied "you must get mother to give a tutorial in vegetables dear".

  3. My biggest annoyance in football is the pluralising of peoples names. You've got your Rooneys, your Agueros, your Kanes.

    Was nice to see Solskjaer call a journalist out on this after the game last night. It was stated that "While Neymar and Cavani were out PSG still had their Draxlers, their Mbappes, their Di Marias..." To which Solskjaer responded "Did they have many of them? Just one of each wasn't it?".

    Rewatched Catterick recently, had forgotten how good it was! Bob plays a (relatively) straight role really well. Guy's a legend!

    Probably my favourite sitcom.

    I like the hotel receptionist's subtle different version of "your pulling my leg".

    I imagine the after pain to feel how it feels after you've been kicked in the balls. That horribly weird sensation you get at the bottom of your stomach. Is it anything like that?

    Its hard to describe, but the best way I can put it is that if I had experiemced the pain fordt to see if I wanted to go through with it, I wouldnt have been put off.

    This is what I was after, cheers.

  6. Initial appt for a vasectomy on Friday. My wife and I are very happy with our lot (couple of boys). My wife also has health issues that would mean carrying another child would be dangerous for herself and the child was carrying, a situation to be avoided at all costs.

    As much as it's the right thing to do I am petrified at the thought of the procedure. Needles and knives down there gives me the cold sweats. There must be a few on here had this done? Any stories I can take comfort from? Keep any horror stories to yourself, I'm no needing to know them.

    Folk with normal names that try to make them exotic. I have encountered two folk called George insisting they be referred to as "Geo"

    Colleague with the opposite idea.

    Feliciano and he insists of being called Phil. His family are Italian but he's born and brought up Scottish.

    People who don’t/can’t reverse park belong in the calling card of morons thread.

    My wife falls into this category.

     

    I'm in this camp. I can, I just don't. Maybe a hangover from when the boys were still in buggies or prams and needed the space at the boot.

    Yet to see why reversing into a space is any better or worse than driving into a space and then reversing out.

  9. This feels like the board are assembling a Pars XI for a testimonial match rather than management for the first team.

    One of Allan Johnston's successes was the professionalisation of the football side, the coaching, bringing in sports science etc. I assumed even when he moved on it would be his legacy. Now the board have decided that there needs to be complete restructure of the football side and McNamara is in to look after that. 

    I am more than concerned.

    Consistent at this level for years? Disagree. He's been Ayr manager for 4 years, starting at the level below.

    Last season he stumbled to the League 1 title. Season before that Ayr finished bottom of the Championship and were relegated. Season before that they finished second in League 1 and stumbled through a penalty shootout in the playoff final.  Before that he was out of the game for 4 years.

    So this is just his 2nd season, out of 4, in the Championship.  Nothing consistent a out that at all.

    Whilst this season he's done brilliantly and deserves all the credit going to him, I'd be wary in case this is the aberration, not the previous years of failure mixed with success at a lower level.

    He's been managing teams around Dunfermline's level for the best part of 20 years. You are only looking at the last 4 years and ignoring the rest, specifically at Falkirk and Partick Thistle.

    He could bring Shankland and Dobbie and I still wouldn't want McCall.

    Seems fairly bold. Why?

    As unrealistic as it is. I couldn't think of a much better candidate. Knows the league inside out and has been successful fairly consistently for a lot of years at this level. Would seem more sensible to me than SP after a couple of really good years at Montrose.

  12. I was at the final.

    Made it through the first session in perfect health. Went up to the Real McCoy between sessions. Halfway through the second half of the Liverpool v Manchester United game the sickness bug my eldest son had Friday/Saturday hit me. Nipped back to the Emirates to spew the world a couple of times.

    Second session I managed to sit through the first frame without much issue, but had to leave very quickly once the frame was finished, I managed some damage limitation but I did slightly shit myself on the way to the toilet. I then had to text my mate who was still in the venue that we had to go (he was driving). Gave him half his money for the ticket back and somehow managed to not shit myself or throw up in his car. Watched the rest of the match from the toilet when I got home.

    Great day out.

    Does she not notice that it's been put away?

    Anything that gets moved in our house is followed by 20 questions - "Who moved that?", "Did anyone (i.e. me) ask you to move it?", "Why did you move it? You knew I'd left it there for a reason.", "Where is it now", and so on.

    Yes. I get the same questions, incessantly.

    Taking the ‘beautiful food’ in alky pubs further, I once had a colleague who when I asked for really good recommendations for an upmarket place to take the mrs for our anniversary suggested Tony Macaroni. I said ‘oh i think id maybe be more looking got a Michelin star type place’ and she asked ‘Is that a pub?’.

    My wife would be very chuffed if I took her to Tony Macaroni. Very impressed if we go after 6pm when they've stopped their £5 menu.
