The Tennents Lager Appreciation Society
alta-pete replied to NorthernJambo's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Well played @101 - a disappointing lack of action on this thread (me included) of late. It’ll be my summer mission to contribute meaningfully over the next 6 months or so. You can all thank me later for my selfless sacrifice. -
I think that's the nub of the issue. To want Scotland to be a Tory MP free zone (which Yousaf didn't say) is a perfectly fair political statement; but to want Scotland to be free of Tories (which Yousaf did say), to my sensitive sensibilities, crosses a line.

He (sorry, his family) are bigger Tories than the rest of us. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/24189264.humza-yousaf-facing-questions-undeclared-family-rental-properties/

I put it down to the importation of a fashion to try and look like Aussie rules players. And me being less than fashionable myself I just shrugged it off, it’ll pass. That’s the trouble with fashions - they quickly go out of fashion.

And that’s whether you need it or not! -
1 and 2 blasts mean I want to pass you on the port/starboard side and 3 means I'm going into reverse. By the time you get to 7 blasts everyone should be thinking ‘oh shit, summats up!!’

Rangers' Wee Spot in Europe - Season 2023/24
alta-pete replied to The_Kincardine's topic in Scots in Europe
Acht well. No obvious goalscorer on the park, no real grounds for complaint. Although the high defence line did seem a bit wild. -
I think this all rather backs up my 'if buying at distance buy Approved Used' mantra. Yes, you are paying top dollar but - the hypothesis, so far proven in my experience - you are buying a well looked after car with no (ok, negligible) chance of any nasty surprises.

If you’re needing to test drive then I think a distance purchase is maybe something of a leap. However if there’s a shortlist that you want to narrow down, go read some reviews from car journalists. If you’re focusing on one particular segment (eg hot hatches) then chances are somewhere there will be a head to head group test that will help immeasurably. These guys do it for a living and are an immeasurably bigger bore on the subject than even me. They know what they’re talking about The final piece of advice is, if you are buying from distance, don’t get the puny engine. It’ll inevitably be a disappointment.
