Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[RiffRaff]

Pre-Match pints yesterday in Biddy Milligan's in The Grassmarket and they now have a 2% service charge.

Not sure if this is just a "Festival" thing or the way ahead.

Used NWA’s music to prep for meetings when I was a Stop Steward. Rolling into the facility bumping “F**k tha Police” or something else from Straight Outta Compton always got me in the correct mindset for dealing with management stupidity.

 

 

What about this one?

I ruined Public Enemy by using it for work. 

Had to memorise a load of case law for exams and had read that setting facts to music you liked helped recall. For a while there, the first few lines if Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos became a summary of the key facts from Gardner, Mountain and D'ambrumenil. Fortunately i no longer need to know nor care about those facts, so it's back to saying they were suckers.

Not on Straight Outta Compton…but would be appropriate if the negotiations went my way…

How does that work when you order at the bar and pay cash as you get the drinks?

Four pints of T, £5.50 each, I paid £22.44 at the bar.

They provide no service at all.

Just another way to fleece us mugs!

Correct. Just charge £5.61 then and be done with it.

Ask them how much if you pour the pints yourself.

Have to say, the two weeks or so I just spent in Glasgow and Ayrshire it felt like every shop or cafe I was in was trying to pull my pants down with their pricing.

PR Agents who get their 'celebrity' clients onto the front pages of the media as newsworthy stories. Today, a BBC presenter is leaving her job to look after her kids. Fine, but a major story? Nah.

Isn't she the one who said she only went on Strictly because she wanted pumped?*

 

 

 

IIRC the actual wording was "to find love" or something like that

That's her. Still, she's well and truly in the BBC bubble do there'll be plenty freelance work to help out.

There lies your mistake.

£5.50 for a Tennents 

The world's fucked.

When the Mrs and I go out there are still places in Dundee where you'll get a pint and a large wine for under a tenner. St Andrews is outrageous, up to £15-odd, but we were also in Biddy's recently and that topped it.

The crazy thing is, we keep hearing pubs can barely survive at these prices.

The problem is people drinking in these places that are ripping you off or massive chain pubs like Greene King or Wetherspoons.

Visiting Kinghorn and Burntisland recently I paid £3.90 for a pint of Staropramen, a pint of T was the same price.

c***s that when putting the bin out put it out in such a way that the wheels are balancing right on the edge of the kerb so any slight wind blows the bin onto the road or if they're smart enough to put it near someone's car it hits the car, bonus w****r points if you've seen this happen yet proceed to put your bin out in such a way.

Our bin men seem to have additional instructions from the Council that they have to use the emptied bins and recycling crates to block the pavements. People using prams, pushchairs and wheelchairs can just GTF apparently.
