f**k sake, of all the tinpot things that define this club, Paul Slane coming back out of retirement to play for them is the most tinpottiest for sure.
Could see that coming a mile away as soon as Ferry was announced as manager and the podcast as the club name. Only shock is it took so long to confirm.

Probably but losing 2 days wages could see a lot of people unable to pay for food or bills.
Most unions have a hardship fund where members can go to for money to cover the loss in wages while striking. It might not cover the full loss but those on strike are grown adults capable of making their own decisions, they know full well the implications money wise. The fact they are striking knowing the loss they are taking shows the strength of feeling among them all.

My youngest has her primary school visit today. It’s a small school and a lot of the parents know each other, for better or worse.
Some of the other parents are complete arseholes, and I avoid them. They are obsessed with the school and try to constantly be in about its business and there’s a horrible gossipy school gate culture.
Anyway, another wee girl from some particularly tricky parents were putting their youngest in at the same time for her visit.
Problem is, it’s been all over the internet that this child has COVID. This was announced on social media on Sunday, complete with confirmation that she has a temperature. I’m annoyed but my wife is totally raging.
Are we right to be annoyed?I'd say that you do have a right to be annoyed but at the same time don't believe everything people post on social media.

Anybody else's child still come through to your bed during the night? My son is 6 and he has been coming through beside his mum and I every night for the last fortnight, before that he was sleeping all night in his own bed for months

I’m hearing Sibbs might not be too far behind him. I sincerely hope that’s not true though.
If this is true then you'd think it must be the Imrie connection from Livingston and Cameron Blues has probably also put in a word

She removed her work uniform from the washing machine around 8pm last night (i can't understand how the washing of the uniform couldnt be done this morning and hung out but that's her call as its her stuff) and put it in the washing basket which was then left at the bottom of the stairs "to go up later" and put over the airers.
She will take washing from said airers, fold them into 3 different bundles (hers, mines and our son's) and leave the bundles on the bed in our spare room.
Does anybody else's partner do stuff in stages? I think her mother probably does similar

Tickets purchased this morning to see Kevin Bridges at The Hydro in September.
Had a great night a few months back watching John Bishop, hoping Bridges is the same (I know he will be)

I'm really starting to struggle with the podcasts. A lot I used to listen to have now went into the "That's plenty!" category recently. Old Firm Facts, Open Goal went a long time ago. My Scottish football podcast intake is down to Off the Ball and the one with Craig Levein and Amy Irons, both are completely guest dependent.
Likewise. For a while I listened every week to Open Goal, The Terrace, Football Daft but I'd say since March time I got fed up of the same voices making the same 'jokes' so I decided to give myself a break from them. Can't say I've missed them much.
I like Sacked in the morning but its very much guest dependent.
I don't mind Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecombe or Sh*gged Married Annoyed with Chris & Rosie Ramsay but again very much I listen to them if I'm in the mood to, I don't actively look for them

In a roundabout way I'm having a similar issue but not with a child but with a puppy. I still work from home whereas the wife is physically out at work everyday. Puppy is 10 weeks old and I'm a bit out of my depth having never owned a dug before. Anyway, doing my bit by taking him outside every hour, after a kip, after his scran etc but he'll have the odd accident in the house. Wife goes radge when I tell her he's pished/shat once or twice in the house "ffs!! he's not going to learn if you keep letting him do his toileting indoors, I hope you're taking him out straight away and putting him in his crate when he's sleeping, are you training him during feeding times? are you giving him praise where appropriate? are you giving him sufficient physical and mental play?....and why is the hoose a tip?". Honestly boils my blood when I'm trying to work as well. Summer holidays soon (wife works in a school) so can't wait for a bit of respite during the day.
Mine's the same with the housework as I wfh 3 days a week. She thinks I've nothing better to do than washing, hoovering etc instead of working. Then on the days I do do some of these she moans about me having to work till later at night

As long as it's not whoever makes Rangers* strips. I saw them in an Airport shop and they looked really cheap, nasty and poor quality.
That's Castore is it not? I agree they look poor
If we were to go back to a Hummel strip again then I'd consider buying one for the first time in years. The 91? season strip is my favourite ever

Yeah, I was sent to do a maintenance there yesterday and after fannying about for an hour looking for keys from the council, I opened the shutters to realise that the place was fully abandoned and had definitely been broken in to. Anyone know why it shut down?
Something to do with the cost of replacing the heating being 600k+

They'll have been disappointed last night as the volume was the same level as Monday. I could hear everything from my house both nights, it was brilliant

I think he'll survive this but he needs 180 votes to do so. There are already at least 54 who want him to go.
He will survive today's vote but there's no way he'll still be in place by xmas

I take a beavers group on a Friday night. When i finished, I texted my teenage children to see where they were. Got a response, fine, braw. One said he was on his way back from kirkcaldy with his pal, the other out on my bike. I left it there, that is all i need to know
She is nightshift and shortly after i had texted the boys, she texted me and asked where they were. I told her where they both out, one of them was heading back from kirkcaldy. She then replied asking why he was in kirkcaldy, who he was with. I said his pal who we know. Reply “who is the pal?”
The youngest one was out on my bike that I adjusted for him to go out, she then starts asking does it fit him. Naw, i sent him out on a bike that doesn’t fit him and risk breaking his neck.
What is wrong with just accepting my relaying the information i was given, which is more than adequate that you need to know and that teenage children will tell you?On a slightly similar note, I took our 6 year old son to see The Lion King at the Playhouse yesterday. She is currently in Cala D'or with her mum and sister as part of her 40th birthday.
Walking back to the train station after the show I've held his hand due to the number of people walking the same way and other parents doing the same with their kids. Speaking to her last night by phone and not only did she ask me repeatedly if I held his hand, she also repeatedly asked him. Could hear her mother in the background saying similar. Even her dad got fed up and sarcastically asked them if they thought I was stupid and would let him make his own way back.

The nurses had a go.
Followed by rail staff and now posties.
I wonder who will be next in line to demand a massive pay increase?
Maybe the police?
Fire brigade must be due a strike again surely.
It's not the Posties, they work for Royal Mail which is a separate entity to the Post Office

Took my 6 year old son to see The Lion King at the Playhouse this afternoon. I've never really been into it and he has only seen it on DVD. I didn't know what to expect but I have to say it was absolutely brilliant. I have no energy left to sit through it again tonight let alone be involved in another performance like the cast and crew.
Would definitely go back again and see something else (we have a flyer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory next year).

Mate, in all honesty and I swear it on my children I would have cards made by the kids, flowers on the table to see a present or ten wrapped up so she can share that moment with the kids opening them. I didn't get so much as a card, 4 days after going into a mental ward in hospital and when I got upset about it I was told I'm manipulative, lying to suit my agenda (what agenda, I tried to die ffs) and she was busy and I was an inpatient so it didn't matter. 8 years, three children and I mean nothing to her apart from her somehow seeing me as an enemy when all I tried for the last 18 tiresome months was to please her enough to try get my family back.
I'm being honest it's the end for me and it's scary but going forward my head is more clear than it's been for years. I don't wish to argue upset or hurt the kids mum I just don't want her as part of my life as humanly possible and I'll be there for my children to teach them, when I can being bitter and twisted like her because she didn't know her own dad isn't the way to live life and I pray to god they are kind and thoughtful as much as my parents are.
I missed the post that kicked this all off for you. I'm delighted to hear you're in a better place thanks to the assistance you've been given as a result of this forum.
See the stuff you say about your ex, all I will say is that if the roles were reversed you'd be getting called all the names under the sun. Don't do that yourself, rise above it. It will be hard but have as little contact with her as possible, you only have to be civil to her for the kids sake.
Take care of yourself and take it one step at a time.

I've got Britain's Got Talent on. I must be kidding myself on when I go to switch it over but decide not to on the assumption there must be a good act on next.
It's dreadful

I dont think Clarke is a terrible manager, just think his time is over with us.
As much as I and many others think you're wrong, you're entitled to your opinion. Nobody is denying Clarke's set up and tactics were wrong. But hindsight is wonderful. It's not Clarke's fault the defenders failed to drop back and defend a ball over the top, pick up runners and it's not his fault McGinn missed that sitter.
As much as Scotland were poor last night barring a few decent passages of play in the second half, Ukraine were much much better than I expected them to be. I suspect most of the Scotland players had the wrong mindset before the game, thinking keep it tight and go for it later once Ukraine start to tire and struggled to get out of it until it was too late.

All Ukraine are doing is passing and moving. Its that simple and we look like an amateur team.
This could be 4 or 5

She is on a Teams call with her workmates all day. They keep it running in the background so that if anyone has a question they can ask.
Couldn't they have just gone into work?

Seems strange to see Bonnyrigg and their New Dundas Park ground in the SPFL. Doesn't seem that long ago I was an Assistant Ref at a Bonnyrigg v Bo'ness Utd East junior game and had to retire early with a chest injury which I thought at the time was a heart attack. Must have been 14-15 year ago though.
Always enjoyed being involved in Bonnyrigg games at Junior level, I hope the facilities for officials have improved and its no longer a trickle of cold water for a shower

The moronic assumption that some people have that you either support Celtic or Rangers.
Them: what team do you support?
Me: Ayr United.
Them: No, really. What team do you support?
Me: Ayr United.
Them: Aye, but do you support Celtic or Rangers?
Me: Neither.
Them: Aye, but are you Catholic or Protestant?
Me: Neither.
Them: Aye, but what school did you go to?
Me: What? Sorry, I was visualising booting your teeth out for asking stupid questions.
Tell them you want them both to get pumped

Anybody know if the friendly tomorrow is Patg? I fancy taking my 6 year old along as he's just starting to get into football, don't want to rock up and find I we can't get in without a ticket
