Dan Steele Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 10 hours ago, alta-pete said: I appreciate The Rangers are many people’s bêtes noir on here but if this young lady had been representing any other cause and subjected to the same sort of comments I imagine there would have been multiple vociferous cries of misogyny and similar. Your opinions, you’re entitled to voice them. Just be sure you’re being consistent. I think you've misinterpreted my post, alta-pete. It had absolutely nothing to do with the team and less to do with the person. It was all to do with the image being reversed and a made-up spell to make things back to front in the style of Harry Potter. Sorry for any offence caused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not offended, its just a wee peeve of mine that occasionally on P&B - and elsewhere - some are not afforded the same level of respect as seems is generally acceptable. It just looked to me like a bit of a pile on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Currently sitting between a couple of 'loud' Weegies, one of which is talking about going to Stornoway next week ("think it's one of the Western Isles", "can't remember if the ferry is from Oban or Ulla... something; the wife booked it"), the other of which is saying "I thought it was up in Shetland". An absolutely clueless breed. Eta: these guys are probably in their 50s and 40s respectively, not Primary 7.

Mark Connolly Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 After reading the various threads on a certain loan signing this week, I can’t wait for the scenes when everyone else finds out that judgement in the civil courts don’t count because a) they aren’t a court of law, and b) the judge just decided who wins on a whim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Had a meeting with a couple of senior (old) criminal solicitors earlier in the week. Not at all related to Goodwillie but they said it was a consistent theme that the Sheriff would decide who was right/wronged and then go off and find the legal precedent that suited their position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done that laser zapping thing? Jeez, that's the flashbacks started. Years ago I attended lectures on eye surgery and the like. Seeing laser eye surgery on a video made me queasy for days and days. Still not as bad as the contact lenses videos though. To answer your question , I did work with a girl who got it. Something went wrong the first time they tried it and she ended up off work with dreadful headaches. They were able to correct whatever the issue was a few days later and she has been fine ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
