All the BBC ones are fucked, and even some commercial stations seem to have discovered Celine Dion dirges...................... At least we won't hear George "You better throw a party on the day that I die" Ezra for a day or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only music station I've listened to for the last few years. No ads and no vacuous, inane chit-chat is a winner in my book.

Also, the first port of call should have been where it was purchased from anyway. That's who the contract was with. Depends on the company. Some of them want it to go through the retailer, others want you to RMA it directly back to them. It's a bit weird that Toshiba wanted it sent back to them, only to decide they're having nothing to do with it. 2 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkay said: Has anyone else seen this advert on the telly or was I hallucinating? I just saw that at the cinema in Alloa, as it's a Chalmers. They only have three cinemas, so that's another reason to be surprised that it's on the TV. The Alloa cinema is a nightclub; they put down carpet during the day and fill the dancefloor with couches. It's surprisingly good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can easily nip home to change his drawers as he's clearly shit himself. 1 minute ago, BFTD said: The Alloa cinema is a nightclub; they put down carpet during the day and fill the dancefloor with couches.

God only knows the kind of stuff you would find down the back of the sofas they have in the one in Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in Alloa they've got a licence to sell Jägerbombs and you can buy vibrating sex toys from the johnny machines. The future of cinema. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'm exceptionally interested in @throbber doing a kind of food vlog/blog of these "exceptional food spots" on offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barras was great for pirate computer games back before the internet. By the time I'd started going along, they just had a wee book you could chose games/appz from, rather than having all the gear laid out (like Bloggo) waiting to be seized. You made your choices and a wee runner would head off to a nearby flat with your money and bring you back your moody software. Always good fun when they noticed the polis and disappeared into the crowd, leaving you looking at lists of pirate software in an empty outlet with a copper staring at you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever been once to the Barras and did not take along my PS1, although this was circa 2005 so I was rocking an Xbox by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the PS1 days, I think you could get your console chipped at your average chip shop while you waited for your supper. Seemed like everyone was doing it. Yo dawg, I heard you like chips, so I...etc etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think of worse ways to kill an hour or so in Glasgow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
