Mrs SL is an Eagles fan (I know). Two things - ticket prices "tbc" before going on sale Friday. Secondly, Premier Inn at the tram to Murrayfield is showing £180 room rate for the night of the concert.

Oh well, saved a wee fortune. Although, as if by magic, the room rate for the night after the concert is £43. 

Just round the corner from Murrayfield. A night of 80 year olds playing 70s soft rock it is.:P

Bores who refer to Halloween as something  imported and  American who presumably don't consume any American media or pizzas or burgers. 

A special prize for folk who think carving a turnip is more authentic as if 19th century Scots wouldn't have used a pumpkin if they were freely available. 

🤔

Pater Army does this, and also, because he's an elite level riddy, only eats porridge with salt and water because that's the proper scottish way. He decries my use of chocolate, cinnamon or stewed fruit (I haven't told him about my adventures in savoury porridge) as somehow an affront to such a noble dish. Any attempts to point out that the teuchters of yore only ate that due to there being f**k all else are met simply with repeated claims of "but it's tradition". An utter wind-up of a man.

^^^^^ No mention of him casting slabs of salt water porridge in a chest of drawers.
Poor show.

I think he told me he tried it once when he was younger and didn't enjoy it. I have said that his effort at authenticity is pish unless he sticks a handful of oats in his sporran, walks to a nearby river, dips his oat-filled sporran in to collect some water and then uses the heat from his kilt covered crotch to warm up the "porridge". 

Tbf the seethe generated by this or when I call gaelic a dead and useless language is delicious. I shouldn't, as he's had about 4 heart attacks already, but I do.

A series of events last night ended up with me having to eat a donner kebab + chips from farmfoods for my dinner. Without trying to sound like a snob I will not be buying from there again even if 2 x donner kebabs and 1 large bag of chips only set me back £3.

Worst game of Truth or Dare ever.

From a review of Farmfoods kebab meat:

  • Doner meat should not be rectangular
  • This stuff goes crispy in the oven after 10 minutes.
  • It has the texture of a graveyard
  • Tastes like existential dread
  • When you open the packet, it smells like someone has farted on it

There are absolutely no redeeming features about this product. None whatsoever. 

 

You snobby git
