  1. Didn't know that Aldi allowed you to pay in weekly installments. You learn something new every day.
  2. You either have a large staff, an amazing autodialer or the membership numbers are far lower than I thought.
  3. Let me know once you have the membership list and have called them all individually.
  4. The way the membership figures are going, you may be finished quite quickly. Better use WhatsApp though so that a) the messages can be deleted and b) you avoid roaming charges.
  5. Nothing wrong with optimism but that's taking it to the extreme. The dynamics of the league were such that even if you restrict it to half seasons then Clyde would still only have finished 4th and that would be on goal difference.
  6. I think you are looking for the PTTGOYN thread.
  7. All true. I'm not sure why everyone says our books aren't looking great. Our largest shareholder is the main creditor as it is with many clubs.
  8. Of course we are capable of promotion, we are in the play-offs. Are we ready for promotion, that's an entirely different question. As we are both supporters of clubs that gained their entry to the league at the same time, I think I am best to judge what it takes for being promoted from this league.
  9. Just to be clear, the term was used by a Muslim who also happens to be Cypriot, speaks Turkish and is a retired scholar. I would guess his day-to-day experiences would make him far more able to determine the appropriateness of the term than you or I. Although they are becoming the minority in Occupied Cyprus, the Turkish Cypriots mainly see themselves as Cypriot. The tension between the two areas has been fostered by the Turkish Authorities encouraging Turks to move to Cyprus and impose their way of life in the Cypriots. They may share a common language but their cultures are entirely different. These activities have escalated under Erdoğan whilst at the same time the Turkish economy is being ruined. Hence why a very well educated man is having to give up his free time to educate ignorant tourists like myself.
  10. Was taken on a tour of Varosha which involved having a Turkish Cypriot guide. He introduced me to the phrase Islamafascist which he used every time he mentioned Erdoğan. It was quite unexpected as I thought the guide would have been vetted or a government actor like those used in communist countries.
  11. All fair enough but it could have quite easily have been role reversal given how shit you were in the first half of the season.
  12. Referee and linesman was absolutely terrible today. Second worst performance on the park after Jordan Brown, who offers absolutely nothing and I only hope the manager has the foresight to drop him if we make it through the first playoff. I thought Ward was MoM for me but why we changed our game plan in the second half and sat back and invited Dumbarton to go at us. Understandable after going down to 10 but completely unnecessary when it was 11 v 11. Hopefully Pawlett was just a bit of cramp or tightness.
  13. I red dotted this just because it seems to annoy you. If you look at whose has red dotted your post and read this thread then it doesn't need a genius to work it out.
  14. Aye, Edinburgh traffic on a Friday night can be murder!
  15. That's an idiotic take.
  16. That's what happens when a bunch of morons give them their vote for independence reasons only. It's SNP supporters that have given them this power.
  17. And would never get in Government if he still led them.
  18. Good luck with that in a private sale. Most buyers won't be willing to have the hassle as it doesn't help them out it any way and they have to go through the bother of getting a settlement figure, bank details etc. from the finance company and then making two separate payments. If it were me, I would only be doing it if I could get a significant discount on the car which would then take you to the WBAC prices. I am being massively presumptuous here but if you are going to have to take out finance for the new car then it would probably be financially better for you to take out a bank loan for the new vehicle before you sell the existing car. Use some of it to pay off the outstanding balance and then when you sell your existing car you replace the money. Alternatively take out a bank loan to pay off your existing car and pay it back as soon as you have sold it. The interest payments will usually be 58 days worth as a repayment penalty but would probably be less than the discount you would have to offer someone to purchase it with outstanding finance.
  19. Mods!! You canna let this go, a month on the naughty step at least.
  20. Am I the only one that remembers the last time Swinney was the leader of the SNP. Jesus, if you think Humza is useless then wait until its Swinney.
  21. You could always kid on its the starship enterprise with it's force field.
  22. That's their way of letting you know that the alternator is still working. Be worried when you exit and don't get a shock.
  23. It's debuting this season. I can't think of any previous season when we have scored more than a couple of goals after 90 mins. Seems to be happening every game now. Unfortunately it always appears to be for a draw rather than a win.
  24. Tbf that isn't the main takeaway from that nonsense from Brechin. Buckie clearly have been working towards their Bronze licence and only the medical requirements are not compliant. No amount of reduced spending on a squad is going to convince a doctor to attend games, the two things are not related in any shape or form.
  25. I think this puts to bed the notion that they weren't trying to achieve their licence conditions to avoid getting promoted. Looks to me that they have been led up the garden path here.
