'WellDel

Was thinking around the 60k mark. I'm only a 8,000 miles a year kinda guy so hopefully a couple of years down the line if it doesn't just start to perish with age etc. I use a local guy who is very reasonable for all my servicing and mot so will just get him to keep an eye on it and check it regularly. Looks like it made some mess in that first pic.

Ooft. I know its far from the only factor, but after roughly how many miles was this? Just trying to gauge how long I might get before mine needs done. Roughly around 30k just now so hopefully a wee while yet.

Where? Carstairs hospital?

I got a Grandland back in November, then had a few folk tell me horror stories about them after the fact. I know feck all about cars but it appears the main issue with these models is around them having a 'wet timing belt' set up that can be a bit dodgy and wreck the engine if it goes. Hopefully just a matter of keeping an eye on it for any deterioration and acting quickly in getting it replaced. No complaints with it so far, pretty comfortable drive and surprisingly economical on fuel. Happy driving @scottsdad

The BBC's general disinterest in Scottish football is a joke. On match day mornings you can generally click on an individual fixture in any of England's top few divisions and get a preview including the usual squad updates, recent results between the two sides, promotion or relegation relevance of the result etc. Even just now at 5am there's a full preview of all Premier League fixtures. Up here you usually get fk all until about an hour before kick off when the team lines are announced. I mean, our clubs have press conferences in the days leading up to games the same as English ones do, and I'm presuming the BBChave a presence at them, so how hard is it to give us the same basic service? Cnuts.

Nowhere near as much as it nearly cost us. That game vs Accies had me convinced we were utterly, utterly fucked.

Every single one listed for over a week, unbelievable. Contemporary works are obviously just a very slow market at the moment, I'm sure sales will pick up soon..

Can't believe it's been listed for over a week with no takers.

Thank fcuk that picture with the sellic stuff strewn all over the room isnae scratch and sniff.

Not content with just sullying the reputation of Scots abroad with this shite in Benidorm. they've latched onto the idea and started it in recent years in Marmaris too, down by the beach where their shitey token 'Ibrox Bar' is. Scumbags.

I mentioned a similar situation on another thread a while back. On holiday in Turkey and the Da of a family who had a balcony on the first floor overlooking the pool/entertainment area would appear there every night wearing a different piece of club merchandise. Even saw him in restaurants at night wearing it. Embarrassing doesn't come close. Sad, sad stuff that people feel that a football club is their whole identity and think anyone else is remotely interested in this cringey as fcuk behaviour. As per my previous post though, it makes it very easy for the rest of us to identify and avoid the cretins..

That's my point lol, I was only giving a maximum of 1% the benefit of the doubt.

99%* of adults turning up for flights wearing football colours are wrong 'uns. If they were all prevented from getting as far as even checking-in, then these incidents would be greatly reduced. Ban that cnut from air travel for life. *Due to a lack of official figures this number may be factually inaccurate and, in fact, closer to 100%.

Aye, it's crazy that these schemes, much like ponzi style ones, are still so prevalent today considering folk have been being duped by them for 40 years or more. Back in the day you used to see those chancers with the dodgy scratchcards in Spanish resorts pretending to gullible punters that they'd won a fantastic prize, before bundling them into a taxi to some out of town hotel and pressuring them into signing deals they really did not want or were too goof to be true. I even remember seeing some other holidaymakers trying to tell a couple who had 'won' not to go but, despite those intervening being threatened with violence for interfering by the scumbags, they still bowed to their pressure and got in the taxi. The whole thing exploded around then and there were constant horror stories in the press of folk losing thousands and being locked in worthless deals. The sheer size of some of these companies still at it is mind boggling. Even crazier than all that is the fact that the financial burden of parents' monumentally stupid decisions to invest in such shite can be foisted upon their entirely innocent and often unknowing offspring through inheritance. Disgusting.

I honestly think that all his stars may have aligned and this could well be the case. Along with this recognition from his fellow pro's, another couple of goals before the end of the season will undoubtedly attract attention from down South and he has all the physical attributes to succeed in those leagues. A million quid is chicken feed down there nowadays and represents nothing more than a punt to many of them, so a 7 figure bid would be no surprise (and very welcome for a player who cost us virtually zero outlay).
