Trawling the social medias is how tabloids get most of their stories now - I'm guessing the BBC is the same. So they are naturally going to end up with a lot of stories about attention-seeking welts.

Yep. The "a" with the wee circle above (Håland) is a separate letter in the Norwegian language and is pronounced sort of like "aw". So "Holland" is what his name sounds like pronounced properly. (Source - lived in Norway for three years and learned a bit of the language)

Lovely effort from Hibs. I assume they'll follow it up with an utterly howfin' away kit.

Don't lurk and occasionally post on P&B during work hours.

That is epic. What an absolute fucking bellend.

Because no league or association in the world has ever deemed both teams wearing the same colour shorts to be a clash?

I don't have a motorhome or a campervan, despise those who do, and I am a small minded jealous c**t.

It's easy to overlook the fact they took relegation to court. Crazy days.

Just got into this recently and I'm deep into Season 5 now. Absolutely class. I think someone posted the video earlier in this thread of Mac's line "That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about stars to dispute it" but that was one of my favourites so far.

We were bad and Hibs were definitely the better side. However, claims they could/should have won by three or four might be going a bit far! Some of the players that ended up on the pitch for us at the end - wooft. If you need to make subs, please use the competent players on the bench first (Watkins, Barron).

"Oneoffenburg"

I believe the correct spelling is "simpleton".

Disgusting slander against the good people of Aberdeenshire.

It's surely one of the key selling points of DNA though - access to tickets for hard to get away games and first dibs at the decent seats at Hampden. If the club didn't offer that they wouldn't get as many DNA subscribers. No matter what your opinion is about what DNA should be for, it does very much allow folk to buy their way into these matches, and although I don't subscribe to it, I kinda think fair enough - those folk are putting more money into the club than I am (assuming they are also season ticket holders).

Turra's minibus is frequently seen in the residential parking area for a block of flats in Ferryhill, Aberdeen.

It happens every season. I'm sure last year or the year before there were a couple of playoff games already played before the BBC even started listing them anywhere on their fixtures. I expect they don't have the same problem accurately listing the playoffs in the English leagues.

Happy with that. Hayes has still got it and has carried the team repeatedly over the last couple of seasons. I thought he was an outside pick for MOTM against Killie in the last home game, mostly due to running really fast for the entire match.

I just have a preference for black pickguards for some reason. It's easy enough to swap back anyway. The main thing about upgrading / rebuilding a guitar seems to be soldering the pickups, which would take a bit of practice (I'm not particularly handy!). All the parts have rocketed in price recently too, although I suppose guitars generally have as well.

I've been playing with a new band for the last few months so that's given me the push to finally get a Tele: I bloody love it. I cleaned up my old '97 USA Strat and got a chunk of money for that towards the Tele, which is a 2004 USA Standard. I might stick a black pickguard on it at some point. Now I've got an SG (bought new in 2003!) and a Tele and I've really got the guitar bug again! Saving up to buy another cheaper Tele to (attempt to) take apart and put together again for a laugh. In addition to the electrics I have Martin and Takamine acoustics, plus an old Squier P-Bass which has upgraded pickups in it. Oh and a ukulele! For years I pretty much only played acoustic guitar so I think my rhythm guitar is pretty good - I never really played much lead guitar but that's what I'm doing in this band. So I'm having to deal with a wee bit of imposter syndrome. It's great fun though.

Calm down Mikey eh.

Or who would most like to meet "Alexander Dubcek, former PM of Czechoslovakia".....

"Continuity of security" is a new one to me. Fair play.

Jane Lewis asked the same question three fucking times.

It would be quite harsh to rename this thread something like "Sportsound (Tom English talking shite)" when his name already adorns the Terrible Journalism thread. Harsh, but fair.

I was in the Merkland Stand for the defeat to Egypt. It was a real eye-opener as the crowd seemed to confidently expect a routine win. On reflection, the defeat to Costa Rica should really have been less surprising....
