Then realised I was sitting amongst a sea of pencil cocks and decided to let the teacher know I'd "found some graffiti" to take the heat off myself.

Myles Offside Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I lived in Clydebank in the 80s and travelled through by train to watch the Shire on a fairly regular basis. Train windows in those days had a top window you could slide open, effectively giving you double glazing. Passing through Camelon one Saturday and a brick crashed into the window, smashing the "outer" layer but bouncing off the inner, leaving it cracked. I hadn't opened it myself, someone sitting in that seat earlier must have done so, fortunately for me or the brick would have connected with my skull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 i) armour all buses the same way you see in apocalyptic/zombie films. There's nothing some sheet metal and razor wire can't fix! ii) alternatively start using military transport vehicles, maybe even old surplus or repurposing old ww2 captured vehicles. Be some sight for the tourists to get to watch a repainted old Panzerkampfgruppen Half-track start picking up at bus stops.Option 2 will be fine, as long as we get to arm them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Most of the folk in Edinburgh understood the decision to stop the buses after 7:30pm yesterday but there were a few complaining that it was unfair on the NHS staff who would have to walk home or pay for a taxi. One woman suggested that they keep the buses going but only for passengers who could prove they worked for the NHS - as if that would magically render the bus impervious to bricks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Back in the day, worst places for getting the supporters buses bricked were East Fife, QoS and Boghead . Honourable mention for Berwick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drivers do a lot of bitching to each other when cadging lifts to their next shift. Always worth keeping an ear on the stories they tell each other. One of the most common complaints appears to be split shifts. Starting the day at 6am to drive one bus for four hours, then being left in some shitehole in the middle of nowhere thirty miles from home without transport until the end of your shift starts at 2pm. Sounds like utter shite, and seems very common. Pay frozen for the past six years too, according to one lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wee arsehole threw a crutch onto the roof of the bus while it was stationary at a stop. Many years ago at a Montrose home game, against East Fife I think, some local neds created a diversion using stolen traffic cones to lure the away fans coach into a trap and then launched a few stones at it. Montrosians are nothing if not resourceful. Some young Montrosians smashed up our bus with bricks the last time we were in League 2 together. No diversions in place this time, just waited outside the ground for us, they must have evolved their attacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 A par three hole at my local course, downhill, was easily reached with a wedge, as a youngster. The road behind it was easily reached with a 9 iron. A couple of houses were within 7 iron distance. Who needed PlayStation etc with such constructive uses of time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
