Just found out it was Franco's chippy. Another of my youthful haunts disappears................... I rather suspect an insurance job. Never seemed particularly busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pint of wine with lunch and away for a siesta (lie down) In the sun drinking wine by the pint, with the option of quines of questionable morals later. Tremendous stuff. THAT is fucking living. I hope returning home to have your own place and one of Hamilton's fair maidens for your hole on the regular goes some way in alleviating the pain of leaving this wonderful single, hedonistic lifestyle behind. Bonne chance mon ami. Also, Agree with The Young Team recommendation, great book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, they didn't get any insurance money as the managers were spotted taking the carpets and other items out of the place just before the fire started. Insurance firm it didn't pay, instead they called foul play. They knew we took the carpets out and wouldn't let it go. Needed money, costs had risen, couldn't afford Sky television, torched the place, left no trace, our case was good to go. We didn't start the fire... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) The last set of Higher results I got was two As (probably equivalent to a degree now) I still think I got someone else's results. It allowed me to tax dodge at Aberdeen Uni though. The way things turned out I'm not sure I'd have been any worse off financially now if I'd had to get a job instead.

Yep, although his predicted grade for the B (English) was an A band 2, so it will probably be appealed. Still a chance of a wallet skelping in a month or so.................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My boy's results are in. 3xA, 1xB and 1xC. The C he will appeal - the fire alarm went off during the exam and he had been predicted to get an A. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
