I about fell off my high chair when Frank Gilfeather made an appearance last week on Sky Sports as a roving reporter. I thought he died yunks ago, but it turns out he hasn't changed in 40 years. He's still a grey, boring fucker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, on a slight tangent the rents these places charge for a shitey room is criminal. I'm always quite surprised at the take up from students, unless it's so they've more chance of being able to wander the halls on the prowl for a shag. f**k knows, the world is odd sometimes. It's just notional numbers transferring from the student loan to the rent, nobody gives a f**k about an extra £50 a month when you're 18. First year in halls (from what I've observed at least) is the easiest way of finding a solid friends group to then private let with in the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy Thompson introducing programmes from beside a roaring fire, edits of films like RoboCop that were cut so badly they barely filled an hour, an obsession with bowls, yet they'd happily send a camera van out to film Lossie v Fort William. Then STV took over and fucked it. Gilfeather recent columns for the Evening Express saw him bitching about changes at Question of Sport, folk not listening to him while he worked at Grampian, and something about cyclists. Absolutely an old man shouting at clouds these days, yet still pops up on Stelling and Friends to talk us through a Ross County home game. Have heard it claimed that Donald John MacDonald got his job at Grampian because he answered "I can learn" to the question "Do you drink?" in his interview that was prompted by them being aware that he was a bit of a bevvy merchant. Simpler times on corporate culture. Edited September 25, 2020 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes a huge difference. There's a thin line though between leaving it a couple of years to mature, and leaving it so long that you forgot anything you ever knew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well thats the panic buying resumed in my local asda, only bog roll this time not cleaning products. 6 months on we know definitively that shops will remain open in all circumstances and you do not get the shits with covidWhat a total fucking nonsense this is. I’ve always been a big supporter of civil liberties but nah f**k it people really are just too thick if they’re making the same f**k ups twice.
