The people who first laid the tracks underneath you needed it. Much easier to grasp the fundamentals of maths when you're young than start from scratch in a job where you might need it.

The same  people who proudly announce that they can’t do maths.

My maths is pretty poor but I'm certainly not proud of it, I'm more angry about it. I don't know who sets the curriculum but the amount of needless shite we learned about was unreal. Pythagoras's theorem and algebra being the two that spring to mind. Neither of these things have been required in my life but counting has and I'm pretty fucking useless at that. Arithmetic should either be a completely different subject in schools or at the very least it should be the focus of maths classes and not the other pish they teach.

To be fair you don't even need to be able to tell the time for ScotRail, in fact it's advantageous if you can't 😉

The arithmetic needed in most every day situations as well as things like counting change for a customer etc is covered by the end of primary school. In fact most 'they should teach this in schools!!11!!!!!' screeching (usually said in relation to something like budgeting) is taught by P7.

What specific more advanced arithmetic would you have benefitted from learning more about? It just sound like you're shite at mental arithmetic.

I've already said I'm shite at it. The basics were taught in primary but that was it. I'd have just liked some more on it in high school rather than some of the other stuff. A class for arithmetic and one for maths would have benefitted me as I completely shut off in maths as I hadn't a clue what the teacher was going on about the majority of the time. She wasn't the most patient teacher which didn't help either tbh.

I used to work with a woman who went on a special holiday to Disneyland for adults who didn't have anyone else to go with.  You went to the park and met up with a load of other adults and went round the place as a group.

The only other unusual thing I know about that woman was that she had an affair with one of the other men in the office and used to like to have sex with him in front of webcams so strangers could watch them.  I'm not sure if one of these activities is responsible for the other or linked but I do know she's OFTW.

Did she meet this guy?

His laugh alone gives children nightmares. 

It reminds me of that fruitcake from the champagne hot tub video thing. 

I can't mind if I posted this but I was sat next to him in Mavrix in Hamilton the other week and he is just as creepy in the flesh.

Saw him outside Libertine on Saturday night and yes, he really is a creepy looking man.

Glorious display of asshattery this morning.

"You got a light, pal?"
"Sorry, I don't smoke"
"I didn't ask if you fucking smoke"
*p***k stomps off in the huff*

*p***k returns a minute later*
"Do you know where is?"
"Aye, it's down there" *points in opposite direction*
*p***k walks off without a word*

You don't get these chances often.

Hanging up bed sheets with Birthday or some other congratulatory message at a roundabout then leaving it there for a couple of weeks.

There's a house on my bus ride home that's had a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner across the front door for about six months.

It's not a good sign, is it? Like when the milk bottles would start to pile up outside the auld yin's house down the street.

Yeah it must be so embarrassing for the person who's birthday it is, considering nobody has any clue who they are or cares.
