    It’s that time again.

    I call it a runway (I know I know). It seems to be a select Kilwinning thing with a few people my age. However definitely in the minority.

    It was a "run-in" in my part of Ayrshire back in the day.

    It would be amusing if the Tories got obliterated at the next election and as a result Question Time had a new quota of only four Tories in the audience.

    I expect their audience make up rules would be redrafted in that case.

    Ha, maybe a bit harsh. But out of interest what do you get out of it when you watch it. As much as the concept isn't good and the audience selection is mental, I know who 4/5 of that panel are and 3 of them are just vile idiots. Surely at this point it's time to knock it on the head, or is it just force of habit?

    Very much force of habit if I'm left in front of the telly on a Thursday night. Definitely don't go out of my way to watch it.

    Although next week it's in Glasgow, I might tune in to see if Staunch Billy makes another appearance.

    Simon Howie's haggis, eh?

    I presume you spent all night on the toilet

    The stock image I posted is out of date, it's actually Macsween's haggis they use now.

    So anyone that's just eaten a Cosmo's pizza topped with Simon Howie haggis will be spending at least one night on the toilet.

    I know you're taking the piss, but I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest all dogs should be kept on short leads when in public.

    I lost count of the number of times a dog has bounded up to my 3 year old. Some owners are very apologetic, but most seem to think the sun shines out of their dogs arse.

    Usually accompanied by a shout of "it's okay he's really friendly", from about 100 yards away.

    Driving in Germany

    in Euro 2024

    Posted · Edited by Lurkst

    I've driven in Germany quite a bit and a few things have caught me out in the past.

    If you're driving in town and approaching an unmarked crossroads, you must give way to traffic coming from the right, even if you appear to be on the main road. If you see the below sign on the road you are driving on at the junction then you have priority...

    73687705-german-priority-road-sign-in-ge

    Further explained here...

    It's illegal to park on the wrong side of the road facing the traffic. If you see a space on the other side of the road you must do a U-turn and come back the other way.

    Never wave at someone to acknowledge them giving way to you, they'll think you're a weirdo. And especially don't flash your lights at them or you'll cause an international incident. That action is reserved for emergencies.

    Also the roads tend not to have cat's eyes which I find makes driving at night or in bad weather more difficult.

    And finally, from personal experience, be careful if you're driving a hire car with French plates on the autobahn, German truckers will see you as fair game to ram off the road 😬
