You could extend the gripe to the names of the actual houses they build in these sickeningly pleasant sounding streets. To think someone probably gets paid a fortune to find a way to scale the names of the houses to give subconscious placing of class within the estate. You know that if you have moved into The Balmoral that you are superior in every way to the scummy tinks that could only afford The Smith, probably needing to use help to buy as well!

8MileBU Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 The amount of footballers who do that baby sucking thumb celebration. In the fucking bin! I’d get it if they’ve recently become a Dad but 99% of the time they’ve not and it’s just a shite celebration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Crematorium close. Or Abattoir Avenue. They also tend to give the estates English names when we have good Scottish words like Vennel, Close, Feus, Gait, Walk etc that can be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 There's work going on at North Bridge at the moment. The screens are covered in shite graffiti which annoys me, although seeing a sign today that said they were protected by 24 hour security cheered me up a bit- what a joke! I hate all the shite graffiti about- tags and all that shite. This isn't downtown Noo Yoik, it's Scotland. Graffiti vandals should be made to paint the white lines on the Cockbridge to Tomintoul Road. In December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be an Abbatoir Road in Blackpool but it doesn't show up on a Google Map search, so maybe they've changed the name to something fancy like Slaughterhouse Road, or AllmorningIkilledcows Road. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was always pretty happy when my dogs died as it meant we would be getting a newer, fresher one in a few weeks time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind having to get my dog put down after a bad stroke and holding his paw as he drifted away. And dont get me started on when I read Marley and Me. Someone else should have taken it if you were ill. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sadder that your dog has died than a family member then you didn’t like that particular family member very much. You realise a dogs place when you have a child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like animals but as I have said they have their place. I used to love seeing my parents dogs and would look forward to seeing them when ever I visited them but now the wee one has come I care significantly less about them. I would never hurt an animal of course but I find that some people’s fondness for dogs/cats is making up for their lack of meaningful relationships with fellow human beings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
