  1. I’m no expert but keen on the rugby, just in the house, from the play so far is it likely Italy will hang on? It would be great if they could as the ITV pundit line up were hailing the “New England” as all conquering heroes!

    Hardly the dregs of society for defending your daughter from creeps. Proper good c**t they call that in my neck of the woods! Chin up brother.

    This is why I enjoy this site. Nobody cares about the main part of the picture, we all just want to pick up on something to rib you about. :lol:

    Yeah on the very few occasions I’ve posted pics on the Nom Nom Nom thread I’ve made absolutely certain the background is clinically clean.

    Always laugh at small hands/ dirty fingernails etc. Bunch of c***s on here tbf!

    Can only upload 8mb (and don't really want to spam the forum, either) so it's hard to get a representative selection as places are so different. One was where I had a coffee and sachet of water after picking up my Liberian visa this morning here in Conakry, and the other is from Labe.

    I love Africa, some great places & people*. Those street pics bring back some very fond memories. 

    *also some awful places & people. But in general I’ve never had any problems other than the usual -looking for bribes / payments at airports etc.

    I used to think I was fairly bright but have come to the conclusion that I’m probably not that smart/intelligent at all.

     

    A couple of years ago I tried to do an online course through the Open University and just struggled to take things in. I found myself having to read things over and over again and it just wasn’t going in, and I was struggling with various maths components. Admittedly my mental health was in a real state, but I had to stop after the first semester as I just couldn’t do it. Was quite the blow and made me feel worse. I see plenty of folk with a degree and think to myself that surely I can do it, but I just can’t. I’m shit at studying and shit at taking a lot of details in.

     

    I attended Aberdeen University for five years and only got to third year, repeating first year and third year. I’d struggle to take stuff in during lectures and would often actually fall asleep. I’d just get really drowsy at times. I was/am atrocious at studying. Been that way since high school. Think I could have got better grades in my highers if I was able to study better, but all I was able to do was just try and read things over and over again. Lectures at university caused me trouble because I tried to take notes whilst listening but ended up not doing either effectively. There were mental health issues here too mind, so that could have played a part. In group sessions and practical classes I found things much better, as physically doing stuff and talking about it with others made things much easier, but then I’d often forget things after, so unless I was doing things over and over I was not having much success (I recall in Int 2 maths in high school that when we’d do things equations I could breeze through them once I got the concept down and did a load of them, but came up against much simpler ones in the OU course and was lost). I probably could have used some help with study skills, but had no idea of the concept at the time.

     

    I attended Abertay University for one year way back in the day. Admittedly this failure was much more of a mental health one (boring story), but even then I did struggle with trying to get information down. Lectures again proved troublesome.

     

    All that for a student loan that I’ll be paying off for decades for zero return! Could fucking kick myself.

     

    Anyway, just wanted to vent a bit. Really in a rut job wise as I simply have no qualifications and really worried I’m going to be stuck in jobs that pay a fairly average to low salary, which each year gets eaten in to by inflation. I want to get a qualification so that I can get a decent job (although that’s another issue as I don’t know what I want to do/study, just that I need to do something or I’ll be stuck forever with a ceiling I can’t break). It’s a frustrating situation! I’m in a much better place mentally now thankfully so would hope that that barrier would be removed, but the reality of not being cut out/not being smart enough is still a tough one to take. Plus I'm shit with money (zero savings) so would need to try and save up to pay for it (I'm hoping to be much better with money this year, although January has not seen the best start to that, but have been reviewing things and can see where I can make a lot of savings; just need to try and do it!).

    If you really struggle with taking information in, have you investigated employment that is more vocational & allows you to re-train whilst working? This would alleviate two stumbling blocks in my view as you’d not need to build up savings to effectively take time away from the workforce & less stress of having to do classroom learning full time? Just a thought.

    They won't be getting replaced either. The evidence now all suggests that the "you get more right wing with age" maxim is bollocks. The boomer generation's voting habits were a product of unique macro economic changes (you can only sell off the family jewels once, the privatisation has all happened now).

    They can just vote Red Tory instead, no biggie. 

  7. I think it’s symptomatic of how corporations (in this case government owned) are allowed to, tbh encouraged to, make the shareholder top priority to the cost of any public service they are supposed to provide. And of course their fat bonuses. Boards, CEOs etc need to start looking at jail time for malpractice imo before things will change. I include water companies etc in this.

    Rangers and Sky Sports have agreed an innovative TVrights swap deal that will see an extra live match broadcast from Ibrox on the satellite channel during the remainder of the current season.

    And it's understood that in return Rangers have received the ability to broadcast two more home games on Pay Per View.

    The club already beam out live from every match to the rest of the world but only five Ibrox contests can be shown in the UK as part of the TV deal. The new arrangement means British viewers will now be able to stump up for a further pair of home matches on demand direct from the club.

    The agreement comes on the back of relationship building behind the scenes between the Rangers hierarchy and Sky led by CEO James Bisgrove and new commercial director Karim Virani. While there has been criticism in the past of the quantum involved in the SPFL's TV deal this has never been aimed towards the broadcaster who the club feel are an excellent partner.

    While PPV matches offer a lucrative revenue stream for Rangers to tap into further there are also other factors at play. With further Thursday night European games still to come in the last 16 of the Europe League and potentially beyond, more Sunday matches are a certainty - a situation that can cause travel difficulties for some supporters and makes offering PPV an appealing option

     

    Greenied for the reappearance of “quantum” in relation to Ibrox finances. 

  9. Some of the mental gymnastics to attempt to justify what the IDF are doing in Gaza is unreal.

    Its hardly surprising when the bullied find an excuse to bloody the nose of the bully who’s been picking on them for years.

    There's no think about it. He was absolutely Peru'd.

    Aye but it’s not like his rivals are trained killers, more often than not the “hard c***s” get it wrong,  many many times you read about failed assassination attempts & seldomly about actual killings. I’d have taken my chances.

    Saying that, I’m rock solid & have disarming moves the Bruce Lee would have been jealous of. 

    Why cant everyone just get along?

    Looking back at the shape of the kerbing where the bushes are, some 40 years later, Im hugely disappointed nobody thought to spray paint a set of testicles at one end.

    If anyone is heading to Elgin soon, hit Halfords near the high street then head up to Blane Place and do us all a favour. 

    Up there tomorrow, if I have time I’ll update the pics.

    The low grade reprobates have realised that having to muzzle the dog reduces its perceived threat and it will intimidate less people, reducing its worth to them. 

    Yeah, who’d of thought these lovely pets that are beloved members of the family are not worth the cost of registration, chipping & neutering or the effort of muzzling & having on a lead!
