I was nearly three weeks at Christmas, had exhausted most of Netflix and NowTV. Fifa was making me hate certain players IRL they were that shit on the game. Abruptly quitting the drink probably didn't help but it was 100% the right thing as in those circumstances with that in the mix it wouldn't be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Fifa was making me hate certain players IRL they were that shit on the game. I have had that as well. Jason manford used to do a routine about meeting Micah Richards?? IRL and he was quite cold and off towards him. Turned out he had refused a contract extension for jason in FM. Eta: wasn’t contract extension. Was that he been turning up late for training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was brilliant. The lack of 20% top up from my employer didn't bother me as I was eating less and spending zero on fuel. 100% money on furlough would be heaven. Would love a summer furlough tbqh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 People just letting their kids run about without looking after them properly. Was waiting on a train at Charing Cross yesterday and this woman was letting her kid run about the platform. He ran towards me and then was running towards the edge when she finally grabbed him but then let him go again. I was getting very anxious at this point that he was going to end up on the track so I walked off to the other end of the platform but he came running back up and stopped in front of me. The woman was like “he is trying to follow you” in a jokey way and I have to admit I lost it a bit (I’d just been at the dentist so was already a bit grumpy) and ended up being a bit rude saying “you need to keep hold of that kid, I’m worried he’ll fall onto the track” She just said “he’ll be ok” and moved away and they left me alone then. Railway platforms are not a place to let your kid run about. Ffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being talked into getting a bus from Elgin to Brechin just to go to Flicks on the basis of seeing it on the Hitman and Her. Sadly Michaela wasn’t there however there were plenty of strapping fermer type wifies to compensate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I got a signed photo from Michaela with my name on it, signed "with love, Michaela". At Mossmorran. Eta: it had a X at the bottom too.

DA Baracus Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 My parents told me that if I stood too close to a train on the platform then I'd get sucked under the train and crushed. They told me this when I was a young child and I believed it for much longer than I care to admit. It worked though, as I never dicked around on train platforms as a kid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railway platforms are not a place to let your kid run about. Ffs I saw two kids who must have been about 3 and 5 playing a game of running up to the edge of the cliffs at Tintagel and stopping right on the edge while their folks just yapped to another couple. I was too cowardly to say anything directly so just shouted to my mrs "those kids are going to fall off" from about 2m away. That spoiled their potentially fatal fun. 1 hour ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: Anyway, PTTGOYN, whats the fascination with Cornwall ?

County was the last ground on my SPFL / HL tour*. Ended up at Wick (for a Brechin game) and Brora well before that. This was my first impression of the ground and I'm still trying to work out if this is a typo or if they're just openly racist: *more accurately, a self-set challenge in front of friends the night before Nevis after a half bottle of Talisker (in order to avoid commiting to be a Munroist with them instead).
