  1. Tourists in Edinburgh who press the buttons to cross at road juctions then cross before green crossing light shows just cos no traffic us coming. Result is when they do have the right to cross there's no-one waiting to cross and traffic is held up needlessly.
  2. I quite like Frank Skinner and Room 101 but it bugs me the way he turns every guest's item round to a story where he can talk about himself. Richard Madeley, who I detest, is the same when interviewing people. He'll ask his guest a question then butt in and start talking about himself and Judy. I know it's easier just not tuning in but sometimes he has a guest on that you want to hear about but he's more interested in talking about himself. Cretin of a man.
  3. So doing insurance companies out of work. You wouldn't have a job if everyone took this course of action. Good luck anyway.
  4. Was that not Super Ally, he fits the description (apart from the Ayrshire bit maybe). Just try www.fatarseholesupportersofdeadclubs.com. It's a long shot but you never know. Greenie awaited.
  5. That's probably not what the other drivers around you were saying My PTTGOYN for today: Umbrellas, when you meet someone right at the corner of a building with their brolly up and just miss injury or blinding and they have the cheek to give you the "watch where your going" look. NO! You're the one with the lethal weapon. You watch where your going.
  6. Getting back to radios on building sites, or at work in general, I've worked on sites where there are four or five different trades working, each with their own radio and tuned to different stations. Fuckin bedlam. I recall one site where two sparkys were feeding wires through conduits, one was upstairs and one downstairs and they were shouting to each other what colour cable to feed and how much was needed. It went something like; "Feeding red cable" "What?" "Red cable" "Eh? "Fuckin red cable" "Ok red cable" "Black cable now" "Eh?" "Fuckin black cable" "Did ye say black?" And so it went on until I politely suggested it might be an idea to turn their fuckin radio down from full blast and they might hear each other better.
  7. Any truth to the rumour that it will only be finished on three sides?
  8. One of the problems is, like Saturday, we don't give wide players enough time to get forward before its hoofed out. The simple fact that if you keep possession the opposition has far less chance of scoring seems to be lost on a lot of players and coaches. Anyway apologies for getting you riled.
  9. Another thing that is starting to piss me off is the "tactic" at our kick-offs when the ball is played back followed by a hoof up the park and invariably into touch, result two passes and possession given away. Our kick-off at the start of the second half on Saturday was Dobbie back to Jacobs who thumped it into touch near Falkirk's goal-line. Yes it put us up well into their half but possession was lost. I have to say it's not just Queens who are guilty, I've noticed this happening even in the EPL. I don't even know what advantage this rule change has to the game. Maybe someone with a bit more tactical nous than me can explain the advantages.
  10. I think Naysmith made a mistake during the January transfer window by not bringing in more cover for the CH positions. Yesterday proved again that Dowie's and Brownlie's form is too erratic and the same applies to Higgins when he gets a chance. Who does that leave as cover or alternative, probably only Hooper who can't get a regular gig on the bench and is free move on if he finds another Club, if he hasn't done so already. We seem to be well covered in midfield and have adequate options up front, especially now that Hilson is back in the squad, but we are losing too many sloppy, avoidable goals which the defence, especially the central pairing, have played a big part.
  11. Yes, it was about as effective as his wall line up at Falkirk when Hippolyte passed the ball into a virtually unguarded net. At least Kidd had to put a slight bend on his free-kick yesterday but keeper and wall were both culpable. It's pointless pulling off great saves, which he did a couple of times yesterday, only to mess up at something quite basic. Hilson. for me, was the biggest miss when he got injured fairly early in the season, speed . Fortunately we got Dobbie in but Hilson's workrate, speed and direct play was not only effective but pleasing to watch. He's second best to Dobbie taking on opponents with the ball at his feet but he has a turn of speed that Dobbie lacks.
  12. Don't you mean can't believe it's not better. I've got a dyslexic headache, a margarine.
  13. The way I am finding it increasingly impossible to complete a task I have started. Everything goes fine for a few minutes then for no explicable reason I
  14. I believe there is another meeting being arranged by the Supporters Liaison Officer, next week I think, why don't you pop along and see if anyone there can give you some answers.
  15. Still on the AGM, but away from this fans rep discussion, there were rumours that the Chairman was contemplating stepping down soon, was anything mentioned about this on the night?
  16. And who, along with his fellow directors, is doing a fine job at present, and who are all accountable to the company shareholders, but don't let that trifling fact get in the way of having a sly dig.
  17. It sounds like your trust rep has added duties which involve him/her more in the running of certain commercial duties within your Club. I don't think that that compares to what I believe any fans rep on the Qos Board would be doing. They would simply be a go-between with the Board and some section of fans. I would guess that no two club's supporter reps operate under identical circumstances. I can't quite fathom out why certain supporters think the Directors are a law unto themselves. They are surely answerable to the shareholders. Looking from the outside I don't think our Board ard are any more secretive than those at any other Club.
  18. It was actually rumoured that he visited Stranraer prior to his trip to the moon as he wanted to prepare in a desolate place with zero atmosphere.
  19. In films, etc, when someone is being chased and they hide round a corner as the person chasing them runs past. Usually they are not hidden at all and the person chasing them always looks round about in every direction except in the direction where the person is hiding. Petty but annoying.
  20. Car drivers who clog up the entrances of petrol stations queueing for a (fuel) pump that's on right side to suit their car's filler cap. The pump hoses are long enough to reach to the other side of a normal car if you stop at the right place arseholes.
  21. Only read a couple which weren't signed. He's generous with the greenies if you mention him anyway. Good lad is Spartans Telly, Grimbo, Spartans Telly, Grimbo.
