The company that owns it will just go into administration and be wound up leaving the owners to wash their hands of it. If individuals are held to account, they'll do nothing and any action that is then taken against them will be trivial compared to having to rebuild the pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Sat on the boat to the airport. Holiday at an end after four months. Kind of a strange reason to be cheerful, but I'm looking forward to a couple of filled rolls with brown sauce, a chippy, the pub quiz, not sweating my arse off consistently, draught beer, everyone speaking the same language as me, stovies, watching Thistle, trains, music with a proper chorus, litter bins, potable water, and the general lack of malaria. Oh, and watching the highlights of Sevco getting fucking pumped. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Was invited to review a grant application by the National Science Centre in Poland. I know the principal investigator, so said yes. Turns out they are going to pay me for this. Works out at about £85. For British ones they pay hee haw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 This one felt in equal measure sweet and slightly naughty - My wife does dance as a hobby (commercial, jazz, ballet), and is part of a series of shows at The Pleasance theatres. Its actually good fun, lots of different groups, every dance style you could think of from Bangra to Scottish, Irish, Greek, even Pole Dancing ! Anyway, I met a couple of her pals in the bar before and we went up the stairs to queue. It was unclear which way the queue went, and one of those mimpy, know it all, face like a cats erse wifies said to me "the end of the queue goes back on itself, up to the doors and comes back down here, you are skipping the queue if you stay here"...........its not like I was looking to steal a march, it was genuinely confusing. Anyway, we wandered up to where "Karen" had pointed and milled around along with a few other latecomers. About 30 seconds after we arrived, one of the staff opened the main door.....................and another right in front of us. There was absolutely nothing we could do as people turned round behind us and kinda pushed us toward the door. We were about the 2nd people in - ya dancer ! I didnt see the self righteous wifie, but can only imagine her puss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Very niche RTBC, but it's cheered me up. Got a new phone towards the end of last year (Pixel 8 ) and when connecting it to the car, the info for the song playing would show you the first one and then not change. So the songs would play fine, but the info and picture etc would just be of the first song played. Spent fucking ages trying to find out what the issue was and yesterday found some obscure reddit post that suggested changing the AVCRP bluetooth version from the default of 1.5 to 1.3 and it started working. Even as I'm typing this I realise how fucking dull it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I have purchased a few football tops from a certain Chinese website and have never had an issue, so I thought f**k it, let's spend a bit more on some more pricey clothing. Arrived today and absolutely great quality, and at 10% of the retail price. Delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Over visiting my parents and spent a couple of days hill walking in Glen Coe, Scotland is f**kin beautiful, went to Oban for lunch before heading back to the shire, had scallops and langoustine absolutely delicious, a brilliant couple of days hopefully Killie can get a result on Saturday to round off a lovely trip.
