Reading the past 100 posts it seems like some people really need to take a break from this thread. Or at least fucking lighten up.

A lot of people come out with the argument that the government, be it uk or ScoGov, want to keep restrictions in place for as long as possible. Can anyone, other than tin foil hat detournement, actually give a plausible reason as to why they’d actually want to do this?

First post in the thread but have been enjoying firing out the green dots to @Inanimate Carbon Rod, @Marshmallo and all of the other guys who "just do know". Solidarity with all the lads north of the border desperate for a pint in a pub. Hope it comes for you sooner than currently planned. Cigars very much out tonight.

They are presumably also working through a backlog of procedures that had to be postponed over the last year, which will contribute slightly to that pressure too.

Hospital numbers 119 (133 yesterday) ICU numbers 20 (20 yesterday). Long stay ICU down to 7. 278 new cases of COVID-19 reported 24,794 new tests for COVID-19 that reported results – 1.3% of these were positive 3 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive

So let me get this straight. Implementing level zero restrictions does not mean absolutely zero restrictions in place. Pursuing a zero covid strategy does not mean absolutely zero cases of Covid. Here's a thing. Why not stop fucking using 'zero' to describe something in any other context apart from 'zero'? And they honestly wonder why people's heads are absolutely pickled with angst about this shit.

The person with the problem here is whoever thought it was a hilariously great idea to film it and post it wherever they posted it. Utter cretin.

I posted a few weeks ago about Clara developing a habit of pissing everywhere, and fortunately it seemed to stop. Instead she returned to her habit of scratching at the front door if she needed out. That was until last weekend where over the course of 24 hours I have never wanted to return the pair of them so much. I was woken at 2 in the morning with the patter of dog paws on the front room wooden floor. Usually they are kept in the kitchen however after piss gate I was keen to hear any scratches if they needed out. After ten minutes of persistent moving about I opened the bedroom door to let them in. Daisy settled straight away, but Clara was sat up, and wouldn't relax. She seemed very sheepish, and I was a tad concerned she had done another slash. I went through into the front room and found a massive shit by the kitchen door (opposite end to the front door). I went back to the bedroom and Clara was shaking behind her sister again. A tell tale sign she was the culprit. I cleaned it up, and took them both out for a quick five minute walk round the block. Daisy was very put out I was getting her out of bed, but they both went round and did a pee each. I put them into the kitchen and I went back to bed. Woke up a few hours later as I needed a slash, and as tempted as I was to do it on the carpet as that's apparently the done thing now, I went to the toilet. I checked in with the dogs after and was met with another shit. Again Clara gave me a look that suggested "Sorry Mr Man, I've done it again". In fairness, I didn't know 100% if it was Clara, but her general vibe suggested it was her. Back to bed for a few hours before getting up around 8. I let them out the kitchen after inspecting for a further turd, but thankfully I had been spared a third clean up. I had a quick shower, and as I was coming out, I caught Clara by the front door squatted over doing a shit. As soon as she made eye contact she ran off, but unfortunately being mid dump made the mess somewhat worse. After cleaning up yet again I took the pair of them out, Clara did a few more dumps but on the whole seemed happy. Five miles in and Daisy went off into the deeper forest as she often does if she picks up a scent. A few minutes passed and there were no signs of her. Usually I will rustle her treat box and give a loud whistle to get her attention but there was nothing. I knew she couldn't have gone too far, but was a bit worried. I started calling her name, and then heard her barking, but it wasn't her usual deep sound. I got Clara on her lead, and went into the forest and called her name again to try and find her, Clara though seemed to know exactly what was going on and pulled me in a different direction than I was going. A few moments later and we found Daisy lying on the ground wagging her tail. A tad confused I told her to follow us but she remained on the floor. I lifted her up and saw her front left paw was covered in blood. Now I am the first to admit I do not have a strong stomach when it comes to blood and this was pissing out. I took my sock off and wrapped it round her leg to try and stop the flow but she got pissed off with this and shook it off. I had no signal on my phone, so was a bit fucked. I put her over my shoulder (15kg) and started the walk back to the house. Clara on the lead, Daisy over my shoulder, and two bags of poo in the other hand. Every so often Daisy would push my head or face with her paw so I had a bit of dog blood across my forehead and cheek. In short, if someone saw me they'd run a mile. It took me two hours to get home, and I put them both into the shower. Daisy to try and clean up and find the cut, Clara so I knew where she was. I cleaned Daisy off and found the cut which was quite sizeable. She was good as gold though and didn't flinch in the slightest. As I lifted her out the shower I turned round to find Clara had done another shit in the shower. I didn't even worry about it, was past the point of caring. Into the car, and a trip to the vet who confirmed she had dislocated her nail and it needed to be removed. Fairly painful I imagine. Clara of course stole the show and did another poo on the floor, fortunately the Vet took a look after I explained the past few hours and said it looks like she has a bug and gave me some antibiotics for her. Since then though, no incidents. Daisy is still missing her nail, not sure how long it will take to replace, but it doesn't seem to affect her. The vet gave her a fetching bandit for the day (picture attached) and she milked the arse out of that, putting her paw in the air so I remembered she was hurt. Clara has been fine toilet wise, and in general seems very happy. I suspect parents of toddlers are used to this sort of thing on a daily basis, I really have no idea how you do it.

The only laffer theory I'm interested in is why all your posts are so damn laughable! Boom! Sniped his arse.

Found another box. I wish she hadn’t as I was using this to keep the old ashes in from the fire.

I wonder what Liam Polworth's xDFMOOTS (Date For Moving Out Of This Shithole) is.

f**k off, Terry.

Hmmmm...

A good cure of this mornings fear for Neil would be to look in here and see that Romeo is making a bigger c**t of it than him.

Romeos existence on pie and bovril summed up in one sentence

It's still my favourite.

Seething ***. Whoops, mixed up my logins.

The 5s were tremendous fun. Watching certain folk with big gubs showing up and them ending up being literal high-school weans who wouldn't say boo to a goose. Having a laugh at who was actually a sound c**t and who, like their online persona, was a wrongun. Bringing in a random user from the site and them turning out to be absolutely fucking hopeless to the point you block them. Clyde Kid bringing an actual Clyde player as a ringer (Roumauld Bouadji, a name I'd have never remembered had it not been for CK and his relentless romantic pursuit of him) The annual day out of the Kingdom for the Fifers, watching them marvel at such modern miracles as indoor plumbing and central heating. The full upstairs of Walkabout being taken over, sometimes during an international tournament and everyone involved joining in with the Mexican national anthem as if anyone fucking knew it. Absolutely halcyon days.

It's quite something that no one can know anything for sure about where Neil Lennon lives but you can say as a matter of fact that he's ill.

There's a lot wrong here. There's no strong evidence to suggest that tax cuts increase "prosperity". There's no link between lower taxes and lower unemployment, or higher growth. There has been measurable increases in inequality in countries like the UK and US since the 1980s though. The only folk who have prospered have been those who received tax cuts. And most of them are in the top income earners; the people who don't really need tax cuts. If you actually want to implement tax cuts that are good for the economy and good for society then you reduce the tax burden on those at the bottom. Lots of countries have had higher tax rates in the past, and they coincided with higher periods of "prosperity". Incidentally lots of countries have higher corporation tax than Ireland - these countries seem to get on fine. Supply side economics and trickle down wealth has been largely debunked by actual real life experience.

Going for the the Inter look with the new collar.

Not to prolong this, but this is more whataboutery. Both Brora and Kelty have been nominated by their leagues to take part in a play-off. This is not contested. The SPFL has elected to finish a season as best they can (as opposed to null & voiding) therefore the bottom side has to take part in a play-off. There's really nothing more we need to know.

'It's important that we work from facts.....the UK is facing a very serious third wave' A VERY SERIOUS THIRD WAVE *23 deaths yesterday* Aye, 'facts' right enough you blackface wearing oddball.

I have that exact same pot in my garden. Could've been me.

Its going to reach a tipping point soon that people will not allow this to continue for months and months further. Yes to a section of society this virus is dangerous, absolutely, no one is denying it, that is why we’ve basically shut the shop and cancelled everything thats happened for a long period of time, but we’ve also invested in fantastic vaccines, i mean the lads at pfizer, az and moderna etc should be tripping over nobel prizes, great bunch of lads. We’ve developed very effective treatments and we can map the genome of the virus and mutations very very quickly. Even then vaccines work. Its absolute helen lovejoy/howard hughesism nonsense that we see from people on this now. How can people argue that its dangerous to be outside standing on a terracing or whatever when the actual scienfuckingtific evidence says you’re actually more likely to get hit by fucking lightening than die from covid that you caught outside at a football game. Every single thing you do, comes with a risk, people the risk of driving a car, shagging a married woman whilst her man’s at work, eating food from a shite burger van or taking the plunge on an allocate on arrival holiday. The most vulnerable have that pfizery goodness flowing through their veins, let them out to play, lets get Isa back to the bingo before she dies of copd, lets get bill back in the pub with his pals before the lack of stimulation makes his dementia worse etc. Some people are happy staying locked down making their own sunshine and ripping the heid off it at the first outbreak of people having the audacity to visit their granny or whatever. Guess what? No one is making those c***s leave the house, i’ll even go to the shop for them if they need milk and a gallon of hand sanitiser. Absolutely done with this shite. Get the vaccinated world opened up and help all the other c***s get vaccinated too.

Yes, let's. There are just 133 people in Scotland in Hospital who have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 28 days. We have vaccinated 59.1% of our adult population, including almost all of the top 9 JCVI groups. Why can't Albion Rovers fans go to Cliftonhill tonight? You aren't necessarily wrong to suggest that going from 0-100% overnight is unrealistic, but you should be questioning why we are still at zero now, never mind in one or two month's time.

Good point, Taser. Sorry, Shotgun! It is so easy to get mixed up!

Similar to this, I was on a plane back from Menorca a few years ago. The plane was delayed so the pilot was allowing the kids a wee look at the cockpit. I'm queuing in the aisle with the wee man when I notice a guy a few rows ahead on p&b. Was about to engage with him until I get up there and noticed he was baw deep posting in the Junior's section.

that so soon coming after her anger at women acting as pundits on men's football; can't be easy for her just now. Thoughts and prayers etc

Covid no longer the leading cause of death in Scotland. It falls behind cancer and dementia according to the BBC. Yet we still cant be too safe in allowing fans back to shitholes like Somerset, Stair Park etc

Eh. Please tell me how the country of Scotland gets the Government it votes for at a General election every 5 years? I'm talking about a Government that has full powers. It doesn't. These fuckin arseholes know that but it'll not matter 2 fucks what they know or don't know. Scotland's going to detach from the UK soon and then it'll be properly represented.

The sunshine bringing out Muffy’s tolerant side:

Saw my first Nuthatch around Edinburgh in early 2019, same for the Borders. Now I see them regularly. Went for a walk with my son yesterday, and he pointed out half a dozen regular nuthatch sighting spots on Corstorphine Hill. About half of those featured nuthatches on the day, and there were a few other places where we could hear them. An absolute transformation. I thought that our experience reflected the 5000%+ rise reported in the latest SOC survey when I read those results; but then I clocked that the survey was actually from several years earlier. So their prevalence has shot up, then (maybe about) a decade later, they are becoming more visible to us normal punters. Here's one from yesterday.

You. It's best to start with that premise in all situations.

One of our volunteers was kindly supplied with a copy of the match footage after the game last night so here is a highlights package...

10 for Wedneday, knew 9 & got a shot in the dark right on computing.

Prince Philip, Coronavirus, Brexit, UK, World. In that order. Get that on a fleg.

I’d say folk have lived a pretty sheltered life if they’ve not seen anyone in their 50’s get steaming.

^^^^ worst take on this entire site ever.

Articles like that are infuriating. Patronising pish. The problem is that no single measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus is 100% effective, and that includes vaccines. Why are they starting from a point of what would be 100% effective? 100% effective at what? Eliminating the virus completely? That is not a serious article about how the pandemic ends.

Quite a few on here are quick to criticise Davo but slow to give him credit if at all but thought he was excellent especially 2nd half

Beginning to think it was rewritten by a p&b poster.

Berwick were complacent as a genuinely appalling Albion Rovers side under a dinosaur manager (John Brogan) looked lost until January. Kevin Harper came in and really turned the place around in the second part of the season, leading a Das Boot-style recovery from the bottom of the footballing oceans. As a result Berwick, who were led by an absolutely deluded buffoon (Johnny Harvey) and seemed to get significantly worse with every performance, were lost with all hands. Berwick were so, so bad that season that Albion Rovers' brush with oblivion has been largely forgotten already.

Absolutely spoiled rotten on the triple radiator. Must be like a superking size bed for a cat.

Dead to the world
