When a Guide Dog shites in the street who picks it up? 

The owner, but with help from the dog. It's like a game of Hot and Cold, one bark for warmer, two barks for colder.

This has been done to death on here - they’re trained to shite in the gutter. How they manage to time it between cars is a whole other issue that seemingly remains unresolved. 

Quite surprised that the cycling lobby haven't protested about that TBH.

Does anyone know how to contact <insert airline name>?

Too busy complaining about dogs that shite on the pavement.

I was on a stag do and we went here. The lassie was stunning who was serving us and I said a line from the movie and she just stood staring at me, blankly. I said something like "I take it you get that a lot".

She said she had no idea what I mean. I said it's on the film. That film they show all day, everyday.

She's never seen the film.

Any tips on somewhere to get some scran close to the SECC/Hydro on Friday evening?  Somewhere for a pint as well.

Nothing too fancy.  Pub grub would be ideal.  Italian is another favourite.

Strip Joint is excellent but you might struggle to get a booking this close.

A couple of years ago I got chatting to a lovely young lady whose name was remarkably similar to Jerry Maguire. The blank look I got back after excitedly shouting 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!!' still withers me to this day. And having to explain the premise of the character and the film was a similarly excruciating experience.

Kids these days indeed.

With enough motivation you can train a dug to most simple tasks.

Do you need someone to help you navigate the streets?

Aye, but not by a dug.

I seldom bother these days. "I'm free, oh dear how sad never mind, stupid boy" etc are not the cultural reference points they once were.

A bouncer built like a brick outhouse would be useful for dealing with Edinburgh's Deliveroo tossers who crash red lights and cycle on the pavement.

No wonder, the streets are full of guide dog shite!

It could be argued that our wonderful, Highway Code-following pavement cyclists are at more risk from the SUV () driving community than an incredibly rare Guide Dog turd in the gutter.

Jerry Maguire's probably a good example of a film that young adults will know nothing about. Mysteriously massive in the Nineties, then completely disappeared from the public consciousness. I doubt anyone would remember it at all if it wasn't for the "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" quote.

Thinking about it, even if they're enjoyable at the time, quite a few of Tom Cruise's films are massively forgettable.

I'd love it if her name was Donna and the line was what I immediately think of whenever anyone mentions the film.

Seriously, I'm just flicking through his back catalogue - I've seen a fair number of his films, enjoyed most, but I'm still struggling to remember anything much that happened in them.
