    As an IPTV w****r, what’s the problem with watching it on Sky Main Event vs Sky Football? A million mentions of it here so it must be a big deal.

    The big deal is that if you've only subscribed to the football package and not paid more for the full sports package then you can't watch the Scotland game on the main event channel. The two football channels are showing Ireland and England under-21's.

  2. But you already know that before you go, surely?
    I come back to the basic point that if you're carrying  a wallet, a phone and a bank card surely to f**k you can squeeze in a tenner or twenty note just in case.  It won't self-destruct in 12 hours.  
    I know now that these takeaways don't take cash but when places opened up again after lockdown and pretty much everywhere was only taking cards I did get caught out a few times. I generally have a bit of cash but it wasn't enough to cover the cost of a takeaway for the family - no great problem and I went to a nearby cash machine.

    I mostly use cards nowadays but as I said, I more find it a problem when I run out of coins and fivers for tips in bars and restaurants whereas I normally have a pocketful of smash when using cash in the pub.
  3. One of the things I've noticed with the move to cards and not having cash is it's often difficult to leave tips. I wonder if bar staff have noted a drop off in the tips they get.

    Generally the only places I've found that don't take cash are chip shops and Chinese takeaways and it's a right pain in the arse when you find out they don't.

  4. Wee early carbonation test of the Elderflower Pale Ale. Still just a wee bit yeasty but this will fade with cooler conditioning in the garage hooefully leaving a delicate, slightly floral ale. Hunter and McSquackle il post them eitger tomorrow, Friday or Monday. I imagine the sweet spot will be 2 to 3 weeks from now....

    Safely received my bottle of Elderflower Pale Ale from@Bairnardo and drank it tonight. Lovely and smooth. Very light on the elderflower to begin with but it seemed to build as I drank more.

    Thanks again.20210828_223032.jpg
  5. First Post Covid away match.
    Wouldn't be surprised if we outnumber these diddies.
    Big tackles needed against these cloggers and let our football come out on top.
    Thank you.
    You were either at it (probably) or the level of excitement in the general Dundee support didn't match your own. You had a pretty decent support though but at 780 it was similar to what we took to the cup game although you didn't outnumber any of the three home stands.

    You did play the better football though but didn't come out on top.
  6. Watched Edward Scissorhands yesterday. Had a tear in my eye at the end. I suppose I liked it.
    I watched it for the first time recently with my daughter. My wife refused to watched it as she said she watched it years ago and it was rubbish so we waited until she had a night out. We both really enjoyed it, had a few good laughs and yes, someone must have been chopping onions nearby at the end.
  7. People will focus on the young guy who has a mad one and goes too far a couple of times a year (maybe the above is a bad example)

    .... But overlook the cvnt who never says hello, parks like a knöb and cuts the grass at 20:30 when weans are sleeping.

    There's a guy over the way who will go out his way not to say morning etc. Absolutely nae need for it. Best of luck when a courier trys to leave a parcel with me.
    Cutting the grass at half eight is hardly outrageous behaviour.
  8. Goes without saying that it was a private hire cab but going down Dalkeith Road I am in the outside lane and this knobend is in the bus lane on the left. Nothing wrong with that as taxis can use the bus lane.
    Except that they often use it to cut you up as there will inevitably be a parked car (it's not a permanent bus lane). Mr Cunty Cab undertakes me, reaches the parked car, tries to nudge in and looks annoyed when I properly sound my horn in warning. It *might* have been polite to have let him go in front but I am unaware of any law that says you must 
    Has anyone ever reported a taxi driver to the licencing authorities for bad driving? Is it worth it?
    What's the justification in taxis being allowed to use bus lanes? Half the time they've got no passengers so it's not really about letting more people (other than taxi drivers) move quicker in the same way it is for buses.
  9. I've read a fair few posts here about folk disappearing into cupboards, sometimes more than 1 person.  You folk must have had classes with some size of cupboards compared to what we had.  
    I think it was more the art store room than cupboard, don't know where the alkies in other departments went.
  10. We got French student teachers too. Dunno about getting lucky, but one attractive young lass did once respond to some lewd banter by laughing and squeezing the crotch of one of my classmates  :blink:
    The others were far less memorable, apart from one guy from Reunion who had us riveted for weeks with tales of life on his island, during which he'd slip into French and sneakily get us learning new words, the cad. Much more interesting than "alright, open up your Tricolore at page 34 and we'll see what's happening at the boulangerie in La Rochelle today".
    In my time, French class was all about La Famille Garnier - (a family in a Paris suburb, Creteil maybe). For some reason the only thing that sticks in my mind is when they had a bunch of removal men and one of them shouting "Hey Thierry " and the other other grumpy bugger responding "Bof".

    I'm not aware of our school having any nonces but we did have an art teacher who would disappear into a cupboard and come back a wee while later smelling of whisky.

    Cheers. No hurry if you think it needs a bit more time.
