Shandon Par Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Said before on here that I find all British drama to be pish these days. Watched a bit of that sin programme and thought it was inferior to Queer as Folk. Which the same writer had done about 20 years earlier. IIRC, folk in the mid-80s didn’t start every other sentence with “like” or “oh my god”. The dirty running didn’t bother me at all but the writing did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone eating a less than sparkly clean arse if fine as long as he rinses his mouth out before kissing the lad again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other films with disturbing scenes that didn't put me off the end product were Clockwork Orange and Taxi Driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the bookies toilet is grim but it's over in about 5 seconds and that's a load of shite as other have said the boys arse wasn't necessarily shitey it could have been the boys load with sweat and lube mixed in for good measure it's a strange thing for it to put you off the whole series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 St Andrews seems a lovely place but it's completely ruined by golfers and students. Golfers more than students tbf. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not having that. St Andrews is lovely and it's probably due to the fact that it is mostly students and tourists that it has remained so nice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Quite enjoy a jaunt over to St Andrews. Reminds me of many happy evenings of trying and failing miserably to fire into posh birds many years back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 In a discussion about impoverished areas a while back, a colleague tried to tell us that St Andrews actually had some terrible deprivation dontchano, just as bad as anywhere else in Scotland. Gave us a good laugh at the time but, being unfamiliar with the area, I take it they were talking out of their arse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing that even begins to compare with the Bowhouse area in Alloa unless there's a part of St Andrews hidden away that I have always managed to avoid visiting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) My dad always proposed destroying the bridges and turning Fife into a safari park. Unfortunately he didn't have a plan for dislodging or enclosing it from the rest of the country.

Golfers more than students tbf. This got a red dot, which suggests someone doesn't understand the point of this thread. Personally I really like St Andrews and I've never been bothered by the golfers or students. Considering it's one of the most illustrious places in world sport I think it's fantastic that you can walk around and across much of the course, and stroll all over on a Sunday. There are some good places to eat, my favourite being The Steak Barn and Jannetta's is good for ice cream. The west sands is amazing when the tide is out and there's a lot for kids, especially Craigtoun Country Park. But I don't drink in the pubs when I'm there or do normal stuff, I'm pretty much a tourist, so it's a different thing. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
