ManBearPig Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 7 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: Ah so you're basing your view on half a viewing and therefore it's crap? But you're right and thousands who watched them all the way through are wrong. You're blaming the cast now as well. There's a helluva swinging punches in the dark here. If a film doesn't get good until more than half way through then it's a shite film. You shouldn't have to sit through a whole 2 or 3 hours before you can decide if something is pish or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 London being shut until 12 on a Sunday, apart from “browsing” for half an hour at 11.30. Closely followed by the maids wanting to clean the hotel room at 9.30am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This pervasive mentality where people have the need to attack things they're not interested in, be it stand up paddleboarding, NFTs, football/rugby, veganism, A View From the Terrace, or whatever. What's wrong with just saying "I'm not really into that, but it's nice you're passionate about something"? Why do folk go out of their way to let everyone know how much they hate it? Why can't we all just get along? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Caught 10 minutes of "Gordon, Gino and Fred". They were in Scotland and alleged Scotsman Ramsay was doing the voice over. Showed a map of where they were going ending at Brechin. But when he was talking he pronounced it "Brecon". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I looked at the local paper website Obituaries (I needed cheering up) and there was only about a dozen listed over ages. I assumed only real oldies still put it in the paper. What, put a death notice in a paper or read them? I always glance at them whenever I buy a paper.When my Dad died in 2018 the Coop advised is that if we were active on Facebook etc then not to bother putting it in the paper, and save ourselves the £200+ that it would have cost to put in the Evening Times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Just dropped my daughter off at Edinburgh airport. In the drop off area for less than 2 minutes and it costs £4. What a f**king rip off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refused to drive down to Yorkshire with it so they told me to put it in a safe place until they could arrange for someone to come up and collect it. So I did. I parked it in the Short Stay multi-storey at Edinburgh Airport and posted them the keys. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have been cheaper scrapping the car, well played sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often the only way to prove someone wrong involved a trip down the library or gathering witnesses. Folk could get away with spouting far more nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
