Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

There's a toilet at Crianlarich that is a good stop off point for motorists. It's also home to a junction that goes to Stirling/East of Scotland if you go straight ahead or it takes you to Glasgow if you go right.

I have some very fond memories of the toilets and the junction there.

Have you ever thought about writing a travel guide?

There's a sign for Perth in Elgin.

Fucking Perth. In fucking Elgin.


Never understood that one, especially considering it's on the roundabout just down from where Comet used to be. Isn't there another sign out in New Elgin on the way to the golf club?

Aye, and one at the roundabout at Pansport.

3 signs for Perth in Elgin, folks, 3 signs.

Suppose you could have North, South, East and West signs. Instead you have Lossiemouth, Perth, Aberdeen and Inverness. Only a fool could be confused by that. Fool.

Both Scottish and FA cup finals are once more the same day.

Doesn't feel as special when we have to share our big day wi our much bigger neighbours. 

Showing my age here but I miss Scottish cup final Grandstand. They knew how to make the cup final feel special.

The colourful language Jeremy Kyle types use infront of their own children. 

Car just pulled up next to me and in 5 secs the F bomb got dropped twice infront of the pre Primary school child sitting in the back seat.

I hate people.

I just paid £4.95 for a pint of lager in somewhere that isn't Edinburgh (Dunfermline).


I paid that at a wedding in Crieff. Almost collapsed when they said the cost.

I'm sure Tony won't mind if you cancel....

 

I reckon I've worked it out. Tony is Tony Watt and is too busy doing movie reviews to log on to P&B.

Makes sense now.

On a similar note I witnessed something yesterday that made me despair for humanity. A guy wearing a hat saying "I (a loveheart) Weed". To top it off, when he got off he knew someone getting on and as they bypassed each other the conversation was this, word for word:-

Weed guy: "Awright mun, where you off tae?"

Other guy: "Court"


The day before I saw a guy with a vapour (or whatever they're called) in the shape of a pipe. I'm not sure what was worse tbh.

Got a puncture in both motors and been waiting for a puncture repair kit to arrive for 2 days now. Was supposed to be here yesterday.

:(

Turn the wheel so that the flat bit is at the top.
