Gunther was a fucking weird poster, everytime I seen him post he would bring up his wife and post a picture up, absolute oddball behaviour, whenever I think off him I remember this fantastic bodying of a post from a Stenny fan, and it all fits.

I don't know your dad but I think I would agree with this

8 hours later I'm still gone at "It would also be the first time either of you offered to take on volunteered unpaid overtime" being an own on me and @invergowrie arab. Damn, we're the ones who've been owned here!

I'd suggest legalising the use of illicit drugs, following leads from countries like Portugal that have safe areas to inject,clean needles, more rehab beds. The Road to Recovery project that was a key government policy has not delivered. Successive scottish governments have failed in this regard We need to follow a biopsychosocial model approach, absinthe aims do not work. Having previously worked in addictions for ten years and in custodial settings the present system just doesn't meet the needs of what is actually required. Don't just give people a substitute prescription then pap them back into their life of deprivation. There needs to be proper behavioural support, peer support, opportunities for training etc. Its more than just treating with medications, it needs life change. Time for an urgent rethink.

"In a low, husky, seductive voice she whispered in my ear 'Tam, kiss me where it's wet and smelly..' So I drove her to Greenock..."

1000 people spending 30 hours per week packed 30 to a room with the windows closed must be terribly unsafe then.

Not a criticism of 8mile who is processing and dealing with this in a mature way with some understandable feelings, but Christ there's a lot of folk who think they're the Punisher on here.

I teach in a primary school bordering Greenwich and we've had to close this week after 10 positive tests among children, 8 among staff (with 1 hospitalised) and a further 17 staff and 120 children self isolating. The kids doing remote learning this week will actually receive more lesson time than they would have in school as there are no Christmas parties/Christmas assemblies/nativity plays clogging up the timetable. All the children have received individual feedback on their work, and I've spoken to every parent and child by phone in the last 2 days. Forcing everyone to pile back into schools for the sake of 4 days serves no benefit to anyone and is the behaviour of a sociopath.

If It was me I would simply go round to the house kill every male, kidnap the women to work on my farm burn down the house and salt the earth so no crops would grow there again.

I have to say I didn’t expect a wee bonus bite out of Ric on a Tuesday morning. I can’t believe he’s accused St Johnstone fans of a lack of enthusiasm. How insulting. You’d think a man who publicly resigned from a football forum would try and keep a low profile but here he is throwing about some truly vile insults.

800,000 jobs lost as we put the economy in the bin - meanwhile the supermarkets are packed with the Granny Dangers of the world who just can't go two minutes without ambling in to see if they can get some biscuits. Most couldn't stand up to a gale force wind never mind the 'rona which is overwhelmingly impacting their exact co-morbidity group, but there they are regardless. The fact that measures were not implemented to punt vulnerable groups into enforced shielding from the autumn and instead let everyone take the same decisions because of fairness will be looked back on as a mind-boggling disaster.

Oaksoft's film got deleted from Pornhub.

You, an upstanding citizen: "this is sad. one death is a tragedy. something must be done." Also you, an upstanding citizen: "junkie scum."

That was why the SG aim of zero covid being driven by fantasist Devi in the summer was utter nonsense. Unless you planned to ban movement out and in of Scotland perpetually it was never going to work. All that strategy did was f**k the economy, damage people's mental health and do put the NHS miles behind schedule. You cannot keep bouncing between lockdown, mini lockdown etc as its quite simply here to stay. You adapt, hygiene, distancing, masks, test and get on with actually living life.

Tory Government: "Hello gormless inbred upper class incompetent friend of my wife's cousin. Would you like £200 million to keep a record of everyone who's given the vaccine for the government?" Gormless Inbred Upper Class Incompetent: "Yes please" Tory Government: "How many people have been vaccinated?" Gormless Inbred Upper Class Incompetent: "Spreadsheet broke" Tory Government: "Haha, jolly good. Not to worry"

Any football club that goes down the "more than a club" route make me sick to my stomach. The likes of Celtic and Liverpool are the worst for it. It is meaningless drivel but seems to be lapped up by gloryhunting morons who like to think that following a certain football team makes them special.

Todger Strunk. My word.

f**k that when you can still fly off on holiday with the max time you need to isolate on return is 10 days. There's the absurdity of it all right there, wanting to forcibly lock in and isolate one sector of society because they have the temerity to be in Aldi at the same time as yourself whilst others are still allowed a week burning the blubber in Madeira or Tenerife. Classic whataboutery. Only one of two behaviours is contributing to ICUs being clogged and the economy being trashed indefinitely. Those are the issues that society needs to deal with and the UK is spectacularly failing to get that right once again. ^^^ blubbering mess We are dealing with a virus outbreak that spreads through airborne transmission and overwhelmingly impacts old people with existing co-morbidities champ. There's nothing even remotely random about concluding from these unassailable facts that the two most effective measures that you can take are: - limiting/closing the biggest seasonal disease factory in the country (responsible for fully 0.4 of the R rate alone in the government scientists' own estimates) and - punting vulnerable categories into shielding That is simply a rational response based on calculations of genuine risk, rather than weepy claptrap about what's fair or not nor narrow political concerns about winning electrons. The alternative to this rational public health response is what we have right now: an utterly ridiculous set of whack a mole measures based on causing as equal inconvenience to the greatest number of people as possible, none of which can be considered to effectively control infection rates and are burning up the economy both right now and for a generation to come.

Get fucked you sad pathetic drip. ETA: You and anyone else can freely slag me off for whatever stupid pish I’ve posted in the past, but the fact you’re even insinuating that I’m having some sort of fantasy about my wee girl potentially getting hurt by a big rock and broken glass is probably sicker than the offence itself.

Not now, Camera is manual and good quality now.

Moron status: Confirmed.

10 for Tuesday. 50/50 Guess for the poem

^^^^Maltseether.

f**k that when you can still fly off on holiday with the max time you need to isolate on return is 10 days. There's the absurdity of it all right there, wanting to forcibly lock in and isolate one sector of society because they have the temerity to be in Aldi at the same time as yourself whilst others are still allowed a week burning the blubber in Madeira or Tenerife. Thankfully there is and won't be enforced shielding, just another in your long line of random attacks on different elements of society. You really are an odd little fellow. It's a pandemic with a highly infectious disease which disproportionately has negative consequences for the elderly and those with underlying conditions. Far from "attacking" that section of society, it would appear to me that you are protecting them by ensuring they shield. There are pros and cons to every possible approach we take. The current system is throwing millions into unemployment, ruining small businesses and restricting life for every single person in society.

Tbh I just watched it again and I think it’s laughable to argue it’s not violent conduct. In my opinion, obviously.

Picture the scene. August 2021, vaccines have been rolled out, Scotland is officially declared Covid free. As a thank you to the local community after 18 months of hell the club have made the first game of the season free for everybody, going into schools etc with massive uptake. 5000 folk meet outside the Electric Bar and walk to game en masse, a festival of colour and noise on a beautiful late summer's day. Motherwell 0 St Johnstone 1 (Kane, 23)

It’s not very often the team in the league below is the bigger club like tonight but that’s the beauty of the cup in that it throws up fixtures like this.

I've always found it strange that most people here recognise that Fox News is insane, while calmly accepting that our press will happily exaggerate, misrepresent and lie to millions of people on a daily basis with absolutely no consequences.

The British media are a shambles with the written press an embarrassing joke. Click bait style headlines to direct traffic to their failing publications. You'd find higher quality writing from a primary school publication.

I'd bet decent money the vast majority of folk who'd be having meltdowns over Christmas restrictions won't be particularly religious. It'd be an unholy trinity of god-botherers, slightly mental quasi-libertarians and facebook mummys. The facebook mummys would almost certainly be the biggest group.

Actually canny find it, but he got a drone for Christmas, took it it, then immediately flew it about five streets over and it disappeared. It made me laugh like f**k. Genuinely bit heart-warming reading these last few pages, and a bit sad. Honestly watching football on telly has always been a side-show from actually going to the football and this year has absolutely hammered that point home. Gies Motherwell and keep the rest, tbqhwy. I'd very much hoped that we'd all be sound and back at games by now, long before now (fucking idiot Graeme) and Scottish football would get a wee boost from folk being dead excited to be back, now, the opposite of the longer it goes on the more the risk that people just don't come back must be a massively fear for everyone. Went to the Leccy yesterday on my first venture to a pub since I got mortal before Chris Long fired us to Europe/Helped relegate the Hearts in March and that the routine of being there on a Saturday and going to the football and seeing family and various ne'er-do-wells off here and pals on my way has entirely disappeared is just a bit miserable, tbh. I think we'd be daft to empty Robinson as well, fwiw. We're not great the now, far from it, but we're still miles from being at an emptying stage for me. We'll pick up points in January, and we'll finish probably somewhere between 5th and 8th, IMO. Anyway, Merry Christmas;

Gutted I missed Oaksoft's deleted post. I like to read his unstable thoughts on his made up life.

Nope. Our manual camera is very well operated. Commentary is funny as well so you should be able to enjoy the game

A fortunate but beautiful 10 for tuesday

I'm assuming this only applies to 'bubbles' down south and not in Scotland. It might be worthwhile reading for our friends based in That England though: Thank God that here in Scotland we have leading lights like Jason Leitch and John Swinney who have things under control. Some food for thought for those planning on spending Christmas with elderly and/or vulnerable people. What a horrible position young people have been put in. It is shameful the way that kids, teachers and school staff have been treated since August. Surprised to see so many people shocked that they have been lied to for months.

Ten for Tuesday. Coin toss in Canada, and process of elimination for poem.

10 for Monday. Edited to avoid giving answer away: BWV.

There's no way in fuck they would ever close Inverness airport. That's borderline insanity.

Its fucking mental. If anything, this goes to show how powerless we are to pursue any sort of zero covid fantasy, and by extension, that we need to have a think about what "living with covid" means. When there was literally nothing available to combat it fair enough, but now there are several vaccines and more on the way, and we are still fixating on cases and deaths from a single cause. I appreciate the vaccine takes time but any bounce in morale from the vaccine starting seems to have been butchered already. The Christmas thing was/is complete stutpidity, but looking longer term than that... Honestly man, I know its a bit ranty but i'm sick to the back fucking teeth of it all. I think hindsight might pick holes in strategies etc over the last year, but its looking more and more like 2021 is a wipeout too, and to me with a vaccine avaialbel that's not acceptable

First half was by far the worst we've played all season so it was good to see the manager take decisive action by replacing two players who were having zero impact on the day. Sign of strong management to hook yer captain after 45 minutes imo. Galt was great at Cowdenbeath and will always work hard for the team when he isn't being creative but it just didn't happen for him on Saturday. Longridge took his opportunity( as did McLean) and was our MOTM by a mile. Whoever decided the candidates for that twitter poll needs to put the hip flask away. I don't care how long he was on the pitch for. I know Grant was at fault with his misplaced pass for their first but City still had a fair bit of work to do before it ended up in our pokey. Some strike by the lad as well. Their third goal showed how much we miss Grant when he's not there, that's the type of situation he usually mops up, either in the air or getting a block in. Fingers crossed it's not so bad but he looked miserable as he trudged off . At half time I would have taken a point given how poor we were but by the end I was disappointed given the quality we showed to turn it around. I was impressed with Edinburgh's tactics. First team to really come at us from the start. Not surprising, they are a good side who want promotion as much as we do. They should be gutted they were only one goal ahead at the break as I can't see us being that poor again at Hampden.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/15/pre-existing-inequality-led-to-record-uk-covid-deaths-sir-michael-marmot-public-health-chief Interesting report: http://www.instituteofhealthequity.org/resources-reports/build-back-fairer-the-covid-19-marmot-review/build-back-fairer-the-covid-19-marmot-review-executive-summary.pdf Obviously the report covers England specifically, but you can see the same trends in Scotland: In Scotland the bottom two SIMD quantiles make up 47% of total cases. 25% of all cases in most deprived areas, 22% in the next and then the top 3 quantiles make up 17% each, rough and tough. You can even see that through the tier 4 interventions it was the bottom two quantiles that showed the more dramatic drops in case numbers. You can also see that the top two quantiles are showing stalled but not increasing case loads. Weirdly it's the 2nd and 3rd quantiles showing the increases in case numbers, but then the first qauntile was still at a higher case load anyway. What's interesting is that there is basically a minimum, baked in risk due to covid, but above a certain threshold that risk starts to rise fairly dramatically. That impact doesn't just stay in those quantiles though, as the increased case loads in lower quantiles increases the general risk of folk from higher quantiles getting it as well. Call it the right wing case for socialism - the final proof that we are all collectively linked, and that someone elses welfare can have an impact on yours. There is no doubt in my mind, that a healthier, more egalitarian society would be experiencing lower case loads and mortality than we currently are. You can talk about the impact of schools, hospitality, retail and - yes, even nailbars - but for me class and deprivation is driving far higher case loads than we otherwise should be seeing. There has to be massive, targetted public sector intervention to do more to remove inequalities that lead to worse educational and health outcomes. Otherwise nothing will ever change for the better.

10 for Tuesday, a couple of guesses in there.

I’m a big fan of AA Gills description of the Isle of Man.

I’m not sure about any other categories but Munoz is unquestionably the worst St Mirren poster. Just no redeeming features whatsoever. Thick, painfully unfunny, and wears St Mirren jammies in his mum’s basement.

9/10 for Tuesday. Every 6 months or so I get a quiz that suits me.

He’s a big lanky 17 year old and you’d think he was older. Very bad idea though. My daughter is going nowhere near them, they are utter scum and wouldn’t give a f**k about her. Nor would I want to put her in a position of seeing her dad potentially fighting or being outnumbered and getting a kicking. Very bad idea although I appreciate the sentiment.

I am a sad wee guy, but when I was watching Sportscene last night I was thinking that in the analysis of the Celtic v Kilmarnock match, there was no mention of Killie. Watched it back, and in 8 full minutes of discussion by Steven Thompson, Michael Stewart and Gary Caldwell, the name “Kilmarnock” wasn’t mentioned once, and to top that not one Kilmarnock player was named. That’s surely a new low.
