One family crime wave been dumped in our neighbourhood by the council. Woman with 8 kids, throws them out in the morning and let's them run wild. Cars vandalised, fences torn down and gardens wrecked all over. Apparently she's been moved from Alloa, Cowie and somewhere else after petitions from neighbours. Pretty sure that's why my new car got two punctures in two days.

Big Mags likes this!

From the "travelling community" apparently

Commentators who double down on their pish rather than admit they were wrong. Pogbas free kick just there.... Amazing, genius etc etc, then replay shows actually it would have been off target but for a deflection which took it in off the post,

"Take nothing away from the strike"

f**k off

You never fail on these threads 

Glad you picked up on that. I’m sure the rest of that “local community” are all angelic, god-fearing saints. 

Some of the most straight up decent guys I know are from the “travelling community”. Good tradesmen, love animals (though hares May disagree!), very respectful.  Feels a bit troubling that they should fall under a negative label because someone in a different part of the country locked over someone’s plant pots.

I saw a guy bagging his dog's shite up and launching it into the long grass last week, right in front of his wee kid. Aye, great example to set... 
People that do this need a boot up the hole.

Why bother going to the effort of picking up the shite if it's just getting launched in to the nearest shrubbery? c***s.

Amen.

There's good and bad in every demographic but they are an easy target because they might be a bit 'different'.

I went to a school that was probably around 50% people from the 'travelling community' and in general they were good folk.

I think I'm getting more Alan Partridge as I get older.

People who wrongly say roads like the A92 as the A ninety two. It's the A nine two.

The BBC do this now and should know better.

Spoken with such certainly we can’t doubt you but do you have some sort of proof for this claim?

explain this to me, have I gone childlike through life thinking the M8 is the 8th motorway built? I did always think the M876 needed some explanation on this basis.

Secret roads m8. It’s where they take all the children to the underground tunnels. Literally hundreds of then under our noses.

I thought there was a main series with sequential numbers, at least up to 9 but that wee branches had a first number based on the main road they branched off. Although thinking about it that completely fails to explain the M42 and the M56.

They knew when they planned, built and named these roads that sometime in the future, a Scottish football forum would have the need to have a variety of different roads to use as a witticism when signing off a post, other than M8.

Hope that's clear, M11.

There are 9 road zones https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain_road_numbering_scheme which have a corresponding A or M road

The A92 is the third road in the A9 zone as it starts with A90.

It would be better to call it the A9.2

In more recent r times the Ms have become a law in unit themselves hence M11

I've only ever heard Americans refer to roads in that way.

With any Scottish person it has always been the "A ninety two".

A terrible indictment on education standards I'm sure you agree.

You wouldn't call the B706 the B seven hundred and six

I'm not sure.

In saying that, Americans refer to Route 66 in the way you despise so I was maybe being harsh on them.

Do you get your kicks on Route Six Six?
