Jimmy85 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) In some ways I sort of respect philpy for managing to survive this long without drowning in the bath or getting lost in a cupboard. I hope he donates his brain to medical science. I would love to see what a brain made entirely of dead insects looks like.

alta-pete Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Larbert, yeah. My initial choice was Stirling straights, but as I can't leave until 8, and need to be at Clydebank Crematorium for 9:30, I think it's gonna be just that little bit too tight for time. I especially don't want to be sneaking into a funeral after it's started. A couple of friends of FB have suggested Kirkintilloch/Milngavie as a middle-ground alternative, I might end up trying it. Any route of the 3 could end up being a nightmare or a breeze, just depends on my luck on Monday morning I guess. Cheers anyway. 90 mins from Larbert to Clydebank on M80 is a bit neat but certainly achievable at 8am. Unless some halfwit bounces his/her car off sumbdy else before youre through. Current odds sit at about one a fortnight I'm afraid. And we've had three clear weeks.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Just had a Banana Coffee(iced) in town, not bad. However the guy make it said it will be ready in a couple minutes. He handed it to me after only one minute. How the f**k did he make a couple of minutes into one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 This has been bugging me for ages - when you are playing Fifa on a games console, on say, ten minute halves, how do the game makers run the clock to 45 minutes per half??

philpy Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 A genuine question about something i always wondered about. A ten minute half for instance - the clock has to run the equivalent of 45 minutes during the Game in that time frame. I just wondered how the Game developers go about doing that. Christ, even the wife knows what i mean, and she doesn't have a clue about about FIFA games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but all the alternative routes involve a lot of single track roads. And if you encounter 1 of those fuckwits who want to drive at 40, no matter whether it's actually a 30/40/50/60 limit, and I'm just as fecked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 At the risk of being whooshed, surely they just implement a counter that runs from 0 to 60 in 13.3333 seconds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike when Celtic are losing, when the referees use a watch that runs from 0 to 45 minutes in an hour. Granted, they haven't had to use them much this season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
