  1. We went to Porec back in 1988, honeymoon in fact - pre-war of course.  

    Lake Bled was nice and worth the trip, as was Ljubljiana for the dressage horses - both are in Slovenia now.  Plenty of depressing and bleak towns and cities on the way to both, though.  We didn't make it to Dubrovnik somehow. Hotel was the typical 5-star effort but a bit rough around the edges as was typical of Yugoslavia at the time.  Shops were bleak and half-empty.  Area around the harbour was pretty enough.

    It was all nice enough but haven't been back and probably won't.

    I'm sure Phillippe Clement and most of the team give a tuppenny toss about who the picture is. 

    Which poses the question- non-OF clubs, whose picture would you hang in the home dressing room? 

    I think for Edinburgh City it would have to be the two pandas the Zoo had. They're black and white and failed to score. 

    This Guy -

    In fact, that very picture.

    That statement alone is not indicative of a requirement to prove an address for the child. The sentence is constructed poorly, and could be interpreted several ways. Add to that that the specified requirements for opening a Child’s account, if you are NOT a current RBS account holder, do not explicitly require proof of child’s address, and it can easily be read to require the adults address and either a statement the child lives with you or it may presume that.

    Our 14 year old grandson has just vomited in the bathroom. He started explaining to me "It came out in a liquid..." I stopped it there, I don't want a detailed description of someone's vomiting.

    However, he's now describing it to his granny and cousin...

    My young lad used to do this with his jobbies - he had to have his mum inspect each one before flushing.  He's grown out of it the past few months which is just as well as he's just turned 35.

     

     

    (Only joking, he's only 12).

    The pedantic c***s will reject that on the basis it's not addressed to your daughter and only shows where you live, not her. In fairness, they'd be right but the initial problem is their stupid requirement.

    They've rejected the optician letter too. 

    Done. Going elsewhere. 

    Called it.

    She has a Young Scot card and that was accepted OK. They needed that in addition to proof of address. 

    Anyway, by way of an update we got home yesterday and found a reminder letter from the optician for her. Let's see if that is acceptable (addressed to "The Parents/Guardians of...")

    I’d love for you to walk into an RBS with a printout of their own rules and their rejection letter and ask the Branch Manager “What the f**k is wrong with you people?”

    That would result in a minter as we say in Dundee.

    Here is what the website says - what are you seeing that's different?

    1. Provide proof of ID (like a passport), plus proof of your current address for yourself and the child or teen you’re opening the account for.

    I can see myself in that photo lol. Was on holiday in Spain with, now ex, wife and our two young kids. Hired car and booked hotel, drove through to Valencia, dumped family at hotel and went to game. Was looking forward to having a beer at the stadium, but when got there it was non alcoholic lager sold at stadium. Gutted 😂

    Aye.

    (Only joking mate, couldn't resist that open goal).

    Thank you Amazon. My wife had some designer shoes on her wishlist and got a notification that some had 60% off - £100 down to £40. So she went to buy a pair and noticed she had a discount voucher on the checkout page for 50% off, so she applied it. The shoes were reduced to zero. She tried it with some others and, would you believe it, it worked again. All in all she got 5 pairs of shoes and a designer swimsuit for £0. 15 minutes later, the sale had stopped. She was sure they'd notice their error and cancel the sale but no, yesterday they all arrived. 

    She hasn't broken any rules that I can see, just followed their steps to get a bargain. 

    I have to ask - did you actually see written confirmation of the above or has your wife done you here?
