Not worth the hassle sadly. A similar story that I may have told before, which I believe because I met the guy and he was built like a tank... Dunkeld car park, doors open and "mackydee"* crap dumped and doors closed. He got out his car, picked it up opened their boot and dumped it back in to the car. Four doors open, they got out, promptly got back in and drove off. * Recurring theme, other fast food retailers are available for arsehole behaviour.

tamthebam Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 My bank has said they're phasing out the wee book I have for my savings account. I'm old fashioned, don't do internet banking, and quite like having the wee book. Fortunately they are offering a sort of alternative for luddites like me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 We all know there are morons who crowd the train door on the platform when the train stops, often barring the way for folk to get off. Yesterday was no exception on the train I was on. I was getting off at Inverkeithing and the usual idiots had crowded the door but chief among them was an especially thick woman who actually uttered a surprised "Oh!" that someone (me) was getting off the train and she was in the way and had to move. She's probably the same type of person who is surprised she needs to pay when in a shop and queuing at the till, being startled that they are being asked to pay for what they're buying and then raking around in a bag for ages to find their purse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Commentators and pundits who talk about a player 'gambling' in a match, in relation to a chance, usually a ball across the box. Moronic talk. What they really mean, and should say, is 'anticipating'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anticipating suggests taking the most statistically likely option, gambling would more suggest taking an option less likely to happen but comes with greater reward if you are correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my take on that one. Generally a perfectly good phrase but these are pundits we're talking about and @parsforlife has probably got grounds for said punters clichès. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "getting off at Inverkeithing" a variant of the risky contraception technique known in Edinburgh as "getting off at Haymarket"? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Coprolite likes to booby trap the garden so if i'm out playing "football" or "badminton" with the kids i'll almost always end up being struck behind the ear by a bird feeder and getting a load of niger seeds down my back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Had a migraine that left me utterly useless yesterday. Fine, it happens. What's not so good is that it's left me feeling what can best be described as viciously hungover today. Which is just a lovely feeling when I have to be at work today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All day session ended up with me and a BF of one of my flatmates sitting on the pavement outside the Burke and Hare singing Elvis songs.

Peil Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Minor one here, but people are complaining that teachers can now apply for a Blue Light discount card. I just don't get the upset, it's a discount card, run by a private company. No-one else is losing rights over this, they are expanding it, yet people are going off about how teachers "don't deserve it" If it was any other discount scheme they wouldn't give a fk Edited August 12 by Peil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
