AMMjag Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Walked past a *** with a thick Nornirish accent at Aldi in Govan. "Hi mate can you give us a lift to the airport?" "Sorry?" (I thought I heard him right the first time, but the accent mixed with the audacity of the request made me ask him to repeat himself) "Can you give us a lift to the airport?" "Ah, right. No." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told its ok although we're having a milder than normal winter, so waves are a little less than normal. I've no actual idea as I don't surf for a multitude of reasons - I can barely swim, I have no balance so couldn't stand up on a board, and I don't want to be eaten by a shark! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 One of the main sponsors of the Rugby League Challenge Cup is Mushy Peas. That's the most North of England thing ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 You can buy the normal ones in a few supermarkets here but I saw a pack of 8 dark chocolate ones for the first time on Monday. This is the last one. Cost A$7 (abt. £3.60) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Maconie is responsible for this in an article in the NME. Another one which never gathered much momentum was that David Bowie invented Connect 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 One of the things I really enjoy is when the BBC clear the schedule to shoehorn in England playing in the final of some event, only for them to get pumped. This evening, that was against Australia in the netball world cup final. Lovely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see a penny of it of course, but at least you'll have another weekend of blissful peace, quiet, and furious masturbation to look forward to on the horizon when she uses it for her next weekend away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
