  1. There’s a lay-by near me that occasionally has a burger van type thing operating in it. When open, they erect a sign that says Snack Van Open I picture Snack Van Open as a Dutch darts player. The vision of him plagues my journeys to work.
  2. When will it end with the double-barrel names? How many generations deep can it go? Kelly Smith Toaster meets Robert Lampost-Sinclair. Meanwhile, James Smith Mantlepiece meets Paris Hilton Heaney Their offspring meet and become Kyleee and Kaiii Smith Toaster Lampost-Sinclair Smith Mantlepiece Hilton Heaney. Within a couple of generations forms will become unmanageable. The justice system will break down as within a century or two it could take days for names to be read out in court. Bank cards will be the size of Amazon warehouses. The rising sea will obviously have washed us all away by then anyway but that’s the future we have to look forward to if we do save the planet.
  3. Red Shoe Diaries > Red Sea Crisis
  4. White teas (like Pu Er) are up there with Irn Bru Energy when it comes to giving a lasting, edgy blast of nervous energy.
  5. I remember Bert Paton sending a couple of guys (maybe Gerry Britton and Marc Millar?) to see the equine vet that looked after his daughters horses. He sorted out their knee troubles.
  6. They’re your kids mate. You should take more accountability for their behaviour.
  7. Begbie in his v neck and loafers were a familiar sight at Brad Welsh’s gym and the mass chibbings and more recently shootings dished out since his death was the inevitable consequence. He’s not on TikTok or Snapchat though.
  8. Did you shoot anyone? typo - didn’t have glasses on
  9. It would be p&b box office though. Please reconsider.
  10. Other Fife exports being most of the main people “who cannot be named for legal reasons” in the organised crime thread.
  11. The first two suspects have been named and charged (though the guy goes by a different surname to what’s printed) but not the third woman yet (no, it’s not Jane Park either).
  12. Sounds like my dream date. Just name the date and time and I’ll be there.
  13. Two parter out now. Quite full-on stabbing and running-over action. Not the trickiest case to solve by the look of it but the best thing here IMO is the police. A very young male detective looks barely out of school but is clearly a bright spark and even though his suspect is giving “no comment” he totally plays him and gets him show his true colours. With the other suspect the female detectives show so much empathy to the accused I was half expecting a group hug at the end.
  14. Best thing to come out of Fife since the invention of the Thermos flask.
  15. I never realised that. My daughter went to quite a posh school where they’d have incredible patisserie stuff and fine wines etc at parents evening etc so a panettone for prof sounded pretty standard.
  16. Under: Broccoli Broccoli crisps (from Fife) Broccoli in pasta Over Truffle oil
  17. Dear parents Next year, please ensure it’s panettone for starving orphans, cash for teacher. Thank you in advance Teacher
  18. Saw a while back he’d been struggling to sell his house. He should have got @Shandon Parin to give it a pre-sale makeover IMO.
  19. This was the US number one when I was born and possibly explains quite a lot.
  20. Once heard him describe Paul Hollywood as looking like a retired copper who had done a suspiciously bit too well for himself. One mildly amusing quip in a 30 year career isn’t a great return though.
