mizfit Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 20 cases in Dingwall from a guy doing a pub crawl between the Mallard and Oscars. I mean, that's some hike between the two. Supposedly the guy was awaiting his results and went out for a drink anyway.c**t should be banned from every pub in the highlands after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's still from a very low base so I'm not panicking yet. This is a bit weird, thought all the pubs were closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 c**t should be banned from every pub in the highlands after that. By virtue of being in jail, hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I have an auld pal who worked in the shipyards and he tells similar stories so maybe it was rife everywhere. But the mix of heavy industry and swally seems to have been as common as it was mental. For my money, f**k getting pissed up all night at work. Imagine how lousy you would feel in the morning going to bed. Some of the stories about the drinking in Coulport in the old Polaris days were rather eye opening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Number of people in hospital (excluding the 11 in ICU) has jumped from 42 on Xmas day to 66 today in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Highest we had back in April was 15&99 so edging towards that figure, not great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Small beer in comparison obviously, but even just tales of teachers getting hammered at lunchtime, quick tans of spirits between classes (even during) and suchlike were rife in the 80s and before. Although we're still a nation of jakeballs, Scotland has made a lot of progress on the booze front in the last 40 or so years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 23 hours ago, superbigal said: Although I updated yesterday figures are on the move so worth coming back 24 hours on. Overall cases per 100K for 7 days in period 20th Dec to 26th Dec was 134.6 24 hours on in the period 21st Dec to 27th Dec we are now starting to add Xmas time. The number has jumped to 150.1 That is a one day rise of 11.52% which is significant. So any substantial council jumps above national average since yesterday ? Dundee City 184.8 to 217.0 Increase 17.46% Dundee appears out of control as it takes its place at the top of the Scottish charts East Renfrewshire 181.1 to 205.2 Increase 13.31% Glasgow City 170.0 to 192.9 Increase 13.47% Not great in our biggest city. North Ayrshire 154.4 to 177.4 Increase 14.89% North Lanarkshire 173.4 to 196.9 Increase 13.55% Renfrewshire 188.2 to 214.4 Increase 14.24% Stirling 84.9 to 108.3 Increase 27.56% Bad single day rise but these are low numbers still. West Dunbartonshire 124.8 to 143.9 Increase 15.30% Angus 94.7 to 130.8 Increase 38.33% Like Dundee horrible Inverclyde 162.0 to 212.1 Increase 30.93% This area seems to fluctuate the most. Dumfries & Galloway 77.3 to 128.3 Increase 65.98% Well publicised now. Stranraer looks a real hotbed. Scottish Borders 129.0 to 156.7 Increase 21.47% Duns and Coldstream not far off 1000 cases per 100K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how lousy you would feel in the morning going to bed. It was rife everywhere. I started work in 1987 and in our workshop there were at least half a dozen fully functioning alcoholics. The labourer would walk about most of the day with a coffee mug in his hand, which was full of either white lightning or diamond white, just whatever he could pick up cheaper. I wasn't averse to the odd lunchtime pint tbh, and my one and only visit to The Beacon in Prospecthill was for a Monday curer after a heavy weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I remember working on Sound of Music on New Years Eve in the 80's, dropping 7 tons of counterweighted mountains on to the stage one handed, with a bottle of whisky in the other, and loads of kids running about on stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had teachers in the 90s who used to meet in a car during lessons for a cigar and a drink. There were teachers that used to drink during lessons at their tables, and on the last day before xmas holidays all the departments would go to the local for lunch and come back absolutely steamboats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
