Fail to get promoted this season and you'll just be plain text with no other info, like formerly-recognised entities such as "East Stirlingshire", "Berwick Rangers", and (shortly) Cowdenbeath. Edit: just checked and Cowden's page doesn't actually appear to contain any information about Cowdenbeath anyway.

velo army Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) In advance of tomorrow my PTTGOMN is Flower of Scotland being played on the bagpipes means we have to sing it with a wrong note. The fact that we can't play our national anthem on our national instrument is an utter riddy of an irony, but I just fuckin hate that the "think" in " tae think again" is a semitone higher than it ought to be. It completely changes the character of the song. I loathe FoS, but wouldn't mind it awfully if we at least played it right.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 If you go to watch a music act at a theatre and no one thinks to bring flags to wave, why the f**k do folk think it's OK to do this at music festivals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my way to Hampden and feeling pretty, pretty chipper. Probably something to do with the Mighty men from the People's Republic of Methil winning last night and Scotland not having arsed it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I have a dish I put all my loose change in and after about 3 years there was about £80 in it - I counted it with the grandkids a few weeks ago. This afternoon after the cleaner left, I noticed it looked like someone had scooped out a handful of coins. So I checked it - most of the 50p bits were gone and now there's only £38 in there. Bugger. I'm not going to get the police involved because 1) it's a neighbour, it'll cause bad blood and how do I prove anything, 2) it's only £40. I think I'm just going to tell her we don't need her any more and not to come back. Is that reasonable? Doesn't matter if it's £40 or £1 IMO. Stealing from you in that position is scumbag behaviour. The only way I'd be letting her back in is if you can somehow set up a camera to catch her in the act so you're completely sure it's her that's stole from you. At that point if you don't want the agro just tell her not to come back. If you get any shit from he you've got the evidence as to why you don't want her in your house.

Leave a note in the dish, but make sure it's completely covered by coins. The note should say "I know what you did and I will murder you when you least expect it." You may find that she says she says she's no longer able to clean for you anymore. Problem solved without any awkward conversations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I‘m normally quite a placid guy and it takes me a while to get properly worked up, but I’m fucking livid at the binmen not emptying my bin this morning. With a newborn in the house the bin is filling like I wouldn’t believe and I don’t have time for this fucking shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get the key back if she has one, and don't accuse her, just in case it was the grandchildren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
