Ingo ohne Flamingo

Airdrie kit is a fucking belter. Umbro have produced the goods there!

Yep my thoughts, would ideally like a base and that would mean having a hotel. Looking at sorting this out as I could fly to Berlin, have a few days there then fly to Chisinau, night there, night in Tiraspol then home via Berlin again, flights are cheap as f**k.

For our honeymoon we were looking at El'at in Israel or across the border in Aqaba. Both looked lovely!

Was always curious about the whole Transnistrian car plates in Moldova, I'm sure I read recently they are now banned from the Ukraine. I really fancy going to Tiraspol, do you think it would be worth having an overnight there? Or is a day trip more than good enough?

Ah, forgot to add Vatican City to my list!

Aye. How's you find it? Did you stay overnight or go back to Chisinau after it?

Seen Transnistria mentioned above (using the local name for it), curious if anyone from here has been there. Its on my list to check list!

Fair doos, I'll give you that

No idea why teams still continue to use Joma, we had them for a few years and they were shite, matched the pish that was on the park. I've never seen a decent Joma shirt elsewhere either.

250 is steep as f**k, that's why numbers are down. The concession package is shite as well. I only bought an ST just to give the club money plus the new flexible ST makes it worthwhile for me whereas last season I didn't bother my arse as I miss too many games because of work. Worth adding, the most expensive season ticket I've had was £240 in season 2004/05. This is the first season it has went above that.

Yep that's very true!

Managed to tick off a fair amount of random countries when I did the Scotland trips in my late teens, now most of them are work related but here goes... Iceland, Rep. Ireland, N. Ireland, England, Wales, France, Portugal*, Spain (Inc Catalonia, Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, Fuerteventura, Tenerife & Lanzarote), France, Italy*, Switzerland*, Czechia*, Hungary*, Germany, Austria*, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg*, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland (brief stop in Mariehamm but I'm still counting it ), Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Greece (Corfu & Crete) , Turkey and United Arab Emirates*. All those with an * is countries I've only been for work reasons. According to Adamskis Post that would be U.A.E ticked off now but surely plenty of folk have been there?

Ooft the Grandad jokes are creeping in sir!

f**k me, someone make up another stupid rumour or something, lighten this place up a bit

Can't disagree with a word of that. Absolutely not everyone will chose corfu for example, the beauty of vacations is there are many different types, relaxing beach, family sun, family ski, city breaks, wildlife safaris, hill / mountain climbing, castle touring, scenery chasing, history exploring and much much more. Everyone has their ideal place, they're happy place. For me that's the Sun and Beach plus hearing other languages being spoken, I love the feeling of being away from it all. Whereas my brother in law, his ideal holiday is wild camping and munro bagging in whatever climes. Scotland is undoubtly one of the most stunning countries in the world and its obviously why in the summer you see loads of foreign cars, Dutch and Germans especially. Worth adding that both of those countries, especially Germany love Scottish culture and music. Nice you've got that little money making niche up in the Highlands! These cottages are definitely the way forward for exploring Scotland, the B&Bs as I've mentioned previously are not up to scratch and personally I don't like the idea of staying in a strangers home which B&Bs generally are. Maybe I'm too used to hotels, with my job I usually rack up atleast 2 months of overnight stays in hotels over Europe and beyond and become used to a standard. I do love driving around Scotland but with a 2 year old that's not an option now and a 13 year old who is far too independent, he just wants to make pals and have a good carry on. One day I'll make an effort to explore our country but ultimately when the price of taking your car on a ferry to the Western islands can be a couple of hundred quid, I'd rather jump on a plane somewhere.

According to Nicolas brief this afternoon, it looks like we'll be good to go from the 14th of September! Clubs like ours should be able to easily demonstrate social distancing and be able to book tickets out like the way we do against Celtic or Rangers.

Whilst there's no doubt Scotland is absolutely stunning, as a country we're absolutely shite for tourists. Outside the cities we don't have many decent hotels, it's all overpriced B&Bs that haven't been refurbed since 1985. On the roads there's hardly any service stations and toilet facilities are pretty much limited to cafes or bars. Before we went to corfu for a week we looked at Scotland for a family of 4. Aviemore coming in at 1700 for the week! Skye was over 2000 just for a B&B and there's no danger my holiday was going to be a caravan in the pishing rain in Ayr. I love Scotland but its got a long way to go before I'd consider spending my annual leave here. That's without thinking about the midges and the shitey weather as well...

Going to add to the praise of Jet2 as well though I used to hate flying them purely for that annoying Jess Glynn tune. Had a holiday to Mallorca in July and it got cancelled, got a text then an email, then waited for them to contact me. 7 days later an email again to say a refund will be made within 28 days, it was in my account that night. Then rebooked with Jet2 to ibiza for the end of July, quarantine kicked in and I phoned, couldn't find an alternative to the lassie actioned a refund for me saying it'd take 3 to 5 days, still on the call my PayPal flagged up saying money was in the account. Brilliant service! Ended up getting away in the end but that was a Ryanair effort to corfu and booked it the day before we left.

Your last sentence is correct, it's purely that. My sons Mum is one of those types that even in P7 she would walk him round much to his annoyance but as an unemployed bum who refuses to work, she gets to see the rest of the workshy brigade and talk shite to each other. It's brutal mate, I've seen first hand in schools the attitude of some parents towards teachers and unfortunately these are the same people who had no respect for teachers when they were at school and ended up breeding like rabbits for their offsprings to have the same shite attitudes towards teachers. Worst thing is those are the same types who will then bitch about teachers on Facebook etc for their pals to sit and agree with each other whilst still sat in their jammies at 1pm watching Jeremy.

That's both my kids back. Juliana in nursery 2.5 days a week, was dreading it as she had become far too attached to my wife over Lockdown to the point anytime she left the room she would start whinging "mummy mummy". Thankfully she just waltzes in, she loves it. Probably more that she's at the age she loves playing with other kids, in corfu last week she tried to befriend every single kid at the kids disco My son just started 2nd year which is really making me feel old. Homeschooling during Lockdown was a nightmare for him so I'm relieved that he's back at school! Massive year for him.

You'll be seeing the chat from the full time yummy mummy brigade who hang around the school gates, in fact the same crowd that head teachers have resulted to telling them to bolt and on the radio today I heard Jason Leitch also reiterating that bit. All this whilst parents are hurrying their kids to school so they can get to work on time...

Feel sorry for the lads who've just penned contracts which to me looked within the last few days but as has been said above, we never seem to produce anything from these teams. Who is the last decent player that came from our youth?

Agreed with this, outside hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd the rest are pointless

Definitely prefer using my card. Previously on a night out I hated c***s who held up the queue when paying by card but these days contactless has changed that. I took £30 out before Lockdown and it took until May or June before it was gone and I had to take money out the wall again. Was in Germany 2 weeks ago and found its still very much cash is king there. Many places I visited only took cash but pre-lockdown when I was in Germany almost every month, many bars and restaurants plus small shops don't have card facilities.

Gulnar is class but Sanam is a totally different level, best Indian I've ever had was in there.
