Option 2 it was then.

VT: Mum, mum, mum. Guess what, guess what.

MAW VT: What is it, son?

VT: I posted a picture on the internet and it was dead funny!

Maw VT: (Sigh). That's good, son.

VT: And now nobody thinks Ainsley's a stupid name, sure it's not, mum. Sure it's not?

Maw VT: That's right, son. --under her breath: Fuuucking heelll, why didn't we pick 'Dave'?....

Enjoy your night, champ.

Here ends the input from The Simple Man's Thinking Man.
Don't know if you've noticed, but the next Scottish election might be framed a little differently from the previous ones.
Also, read my list again and you'll see your reading comprehension ain't all it might be. Champ.
Good for you typing all that out though.


The SNP have been forced into a couple of major u turns and have taken arguably unprecedented deserved slaggings from the opposition parties but they’re still in course to take half the vote because despite the worldwide pandemic our politics are still mostly viewed through the lens of the constitutional question hence why Sturgeon is already setting out the road map for the next referendum.

She has done so every year since 2016. No closer. Arguably further away.

"By x point of next year" is the SNP's "wait two weeks"

And it works, because you never reach that point before another "by x point of next year" is announced.

Maybe I'm dense but is this new information? I don't know a single place which has enforced this and every person I know has fallen foul of this. Has he just made this up?

Would also be keen to understand how this narrative relates to classrooms.

Would make the "no more than 8 from 3 households" guidance pointless then.

How does he intend on socialising in that scenario? Looking forward to me and the lads booking 3 tables and shouting at each other for the game on Monday night.

Someone said ages ago it was clear those making the rules up don't go out to these places normally.

I think that is even clearer now.

At least we know what the next thing getting the blame (that under no circumstances will be schools) - first it was indoor hospitality in general, then once they muted them it was house parties, and now it will be people in indoor hospitality daring to socialise.

I like it when JTS does his wee dialogues. It's usually when he's taking an absolute massive tantrum (see his contribution to, I think, the early stages of the relegation or league reconstruction thread) because folk won't tell him how clever he is 

Sorry you feel that way. It took about 15 seconds to write.

Probably about as long as it takes to find a picture of a celebrity chef.

This has always been the case. I'm actually surprised people are claiming not to have known this is the case. It's your responsibility to stick to the rules. The pubs have no way of knowing if 3 guys having a pint are flatmates or from different households.

Schools are being treated as a special case.

Was out in Glasgow 2 weeks ago. Every pub I went to had someone give you a spiel at the door explaining what was required.

Just working the marks brother, HH

I love the “us learned members of the forum” schtick. I want a comprehensive list of who qualifies.

I was out last night for the first time since all this happened. 

Went for a meal which was fine, apart from the staff wearing masks, it seemed completely normal.(went to Dishoom fyi. Fucking tremendous food)

Went to a couple of pubs in Rose St. Busy enough, but it was like all atmosphere had been sucked out of it. No music or football commentary, couples at tables just quietly chatting. Felt eerie.

My local was slightly better, made it in there in time to see two guys 50+ squaring up to each other. Still pretty shite though and last orders were shouted at half 10.

Won't be bothering again until restrictions are eased further and I can totally understand why folk are having more house parties.

Would also be good if he could confirm he lives in Malaysia. It’s never clear from his posts.

I was in a pub last week - working under a heavily reduced capacity already - and the bar staff were just directing punters to booth areas where there was space: if they were implementing household restrictions as well then half the remaining space would have been unusable as well. The idea that they're supposed to enforce this nonsense is utterly ridiculous while Leitch and his chums are quite happy to launch dozens of weans from different households into the same room at full capacity all week long and pretend that it's not an issue.
