Miguel Sanchez Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Got a letter a few weeks ago (that I forgot about) from the Office for National Statistics about a survey. Got another one today with a name and a phone number on it to phone someone up and carry out whatever study they're doing. Do I have to or can I phone up and tell him to bolt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the Census so I don't see how they can force you to take part. I would just bin it and not even respond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binned the letter and some pushy wife turned up at my door about it, she came to my door, to schedule a phone appt with her, to do the survey. No replacement tenner was offered. Get tae f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bad cut on the job and was sent to Pitlochry hospital. "There's nobody here to help you, try the Atholl practice next door" Walks next door, presses buzzer. "Been sent here from a nurse at the job I was on, I need stitches in my hand. Hospital has nobody in, they said come here" "okay, we can't actually do this over the intercom. Can you phone the number on the wall and I'll get some details" Phones the number, same arsehole answers asks all my details - what happened, where it happened - my GP address then and only then, decides to inform me nobody is qualified to do stitches and I'd have to go to PRI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'd like to attend the funeral of a former East Fife player in Kirkcaldy on Saturday morning, then take in the Dumbarton v East Fife game in the afternoon. Can I buy a day return from Dundee to Dumbarton and break my journey in Kirkcaldy? The normal route would be Dundee to Glasgow to Dumbarton. This would be Dundee to Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh to Glasgow to Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be Dundee to Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh to Glasgow to Dumbarton. Sounds likely but it's best to check. It's usually "any reasonable route" and i often take a similar detour at the other end of the Uk. It might even be cheaper to get three singles because city to city are the premium routes and no-one in their right mind wants to get off at Kirkcaldy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly though Perth to Glasgow via Edinburgh isn't a valid route. ETA if you fancy a cracking night in the routing maps http://data.atoc.org/routeing-maps combined with the yellow pages (section C) permitted route identifier http://data.atoc.org/routeing-guide are a never ending source of fun Edited September 8, 2021 by invergowrie arab 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Glasgow they save time by making "What school did you go to?" the very first question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it’s a reputable person with a history you can check on and there’s some sort of guarantee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An East Fife fan who got the chance to win a Scottish Championship medal with Dundee in 1961-62. He was a regular with the East Fife Supporters' Club to away matches and used to travel to home games by bus from Tayport. He kept himself to himself, but enjoyed the company of ordinary fans. A really nice, humble guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It's about 200-odd pages now, so I'm not trawling through to find out, but how on Earth did we end up with a thread about Orange walks twinned with Scottish cricket? Page 1 appears to be all about the Kafflik baiters. The latest page is all cricket. Is there a halfway hand-off from one subject to the other, like a Spider-Man thread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
