Waited all of half time in the pie van queue at Locos yesterday, where it was Baltic and I was in need of a hot drink.  Finally got served 5 mins into the 2nd half, only to be told by a disinterested teenager that there was no hot water left.  At no point did anybody think it would be a good idea to let folk in the (still lengthy) queue know this.  To make matters worse, Locos then scored about 10 secs later. 😔

Mate has booked hospitality for Locos next week.

Dress code is "smart"

My jeans were good enough for Dumbarton's hospitality and they're a Scottish League Club

Were you at least out of earshot of the drummer?

Nope. They* were right behind the goal at the pie** end.

*Drummers (x4).

**£4 for a substandard pie!

They'd likely all have a heart attack when they saw the prices anyway.

Talks in which people cite three examples in one go, when two would be plenty.

"Some Scottish teams play in blue strips, such as St Johnstone, or Queen of the South, or Stranraer "

We wear blue certainly. I think "play" might be pushing it though.

Wobbly tables in pubs and restaurants. Every fucking time. How hard can it be to make sure that your tables are level?

What do you think beermats are for if not for stopping the table wobbling?

A related PTTGOYN is the lack of beermats in many pubs nowadays.

Wobbly tables pishing wet with condensation, both easily cured by the humble beermat.

I'm currently down south and have to fly back from Bristol Airport later. Apparently they've suspended flights until 11am today (not that I'm leaving until after 6pm), but you'd think it was the fucking apocalypse down here, the way they panic when there's less than an inch of snow is pathetic. Literally nobody is outside and they're all panicking about getting to various other places with less snow. 

I get this is nothing new, but it's so annoying to be here whilst the mass hysteria is taking place. I'm sure they've ransacked the supermarkets too!
