We were given a Panettone from my cousin in a post Christmas piss up we had here.

I was never really convinced about them, but this one - she got it in Valvona and Crolla, Elm Row - is absolutely amazing, especially a wee (big) slice toasted with loads of butter. 

Yum !

They definitely range in quality. Mrs JB got one this year which was the best I've ever eaten. Made with butter and the candied peel was even tasty.

Cant even spell ffs.

It's Si.

Call yourself a teacher, in Italy? Pfft. 

From now on, every time I see the word Italy mentioned (which is hardly ever by me), you're getting tagged.

Ha! Yes, I try to convince others that I was old enough to see Dundee win the league but that prize goes to the magnificent @Eednud.

I always see you as ages with myself, along with a few others on here such as @Shandon Par, @Mark Connolly, @Bairnardo, @Chris Partlow, @Miguel Sanchez, @The Naitch @bennett, @gannonball.

Then in the 'slightly' older bracket (45-55) we have the likes of @Melanius Mullarkay, @pozbaird@scottsdad, @Bigmouth Strikes Again, @Raidernation, @KnightswoodBear.

About 10 years younger (30-35) we have @Derry Alli (always see him as a younger version of myself), @DA Baracus, @RandomGuy., @Leith Green, @Hoose Rice, @Venti.

I know I'm probably waaay off, but this is the age brackets I have you in.

This made me laugh out loud. 

I'd have had Chris, Miguel and Gannon all in their 30s and Da Baracus, Leith Green and Hoose Rice as certified older gents for sure. 

The only one on the list I'd have presumed would be younger is Venti due to their anime type pictures.

It's a good thing your man Alli chimed in below or I would've been declaring war on Dundee.

I've just read the whole post and @Miguel Sanchez I see as an approaching 30 year old who yells at clouds. I enjoy his dead pan humour

@DA Baracus is the biy. Seeing he's about to turn 40 is an eye opener. Always been one of the sound cűnts on here. Still a cûnt, but a sound ane.

My biggest surprise on the post is people see @Chris Partlow as that age. I always thought he was mid twenties. Again, thoroughly enjoyable poster.

I made cheesy pasta for tea tonight which I believe even @Venti would be proud of.

Edit : I was complaining of my sleep pattern being ruined and after day 1 (a fucking hard days graft at that) I was practically unable to speak and flaked out at 8pm. This is me awake again. Hello darkness my old friend.

Close, just a few years older than your suggestion. Must be my mature posting skills 

Aye, that'll be it, allright...

Paralympian Oscar Pistorius has been freed on parole from a South African jail, nearly 11 years after murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/10/former-royal-marines-prosthetic-legs-stolen-from-parked-car

A former Royal Marine has launched an appeal for information on social media after a set of his prosthetic legs were stolen when his car was broken into in west London.

 

Coincidence ?  I think not.

Any time I've gone into, or even walk past my local Chinese coming home from work, it's a wee boy who can't be any older than 12 or 13 working on the til taking orders. Sometimes a younger girl, his sister presumably, is with him. This is every single day I'm talking here. He is obviously the owner's son, but I really don't like the thought of a wee boy coming home from school then immediately having to go work in his da's shop for 5 or 6 hours everyday. 

 

Should I report this to some sort of child protection services, or am I being a Helen Lovejoy?

I'd just have a quick word with the owner and be willing to accept the Set Meal for 4 every Saturday in order to buy my silence tbh.

I'd be checking the owner isn't a Triad before making waves though.

Is it any worse than a paper round?

There is a guy called Stephen Bradshaw currently giving evidence to the Post Office Horizon inquiry. He is a total cvnt. Remember his name.
