  1. They're quite comfy but no way worth that much! My parents dogs sometimes go under them when someone is sat in a reclined position and then get hit by the mechanism when it closes, hopefully my child doesn't wonder underneath it without me realising!

    A common theme with sofas, beds etc. It’s important to get comfortable ones though.
    Will be a while before wee throbber is crawling about by themselves, get plenty use out of them before then.


  2. I’d say it’s far more tragic the ever increasing number of posters who have conversed with me at some point in a decent, civilised manner, but then are quick to turn and follow the flock, unable to think for themselves, ‘liking’ even the most tedious posts by their heroes, desperate to be one of the bois. Looks far more ‘trying to be mates’ than anything I’ve ever posted tbh.

    Ah, Mr Mile...you’ve spoiled the point I was going to make.
    I’ve asked, to no reply, if these messages have been shared before - I don’t think they have? So now, a year or something on from them, Magee (who I’ve no issue with) decides to share them. If it’s not just to join in and ‘be one of the bois’, then why?
    I’m in no way white knighting 8mile. I have no dog in this fight. Just frustrated this whole carry on has distracted from the real issue, of course, Rodger’s Jimmy Neutron head.
  3. I had no idea happy hour was banned in Scotland until now.

    They just banned happiness in Scotland, time of day is irrelevant.
    I’ve not had any alcohol since Saturday 14th. Don’t think I’ll be drinking this weekend either. Pretty often though I do like to just unwind and get hammered. Usually it’ll be a Friday, pub after work then up to my mates. If it wasn’t for football training I would probably have gone up the pub and had a few pints watching the football tonight.
  4. Just seen a fat man walking the streets in a tight Spiderman costume, almost tripping over the flapping advertising board running down his front from a multi-national pizza delivery firm.

    Is this the marketing of the future that I'm witnessing with my near burned out eyes?!

    We had Spiderman and another red and yellow one from a competitor vying for attention from passers by. I suspect their Universal Credit was under threat and they opted for the dignity of honest toil.

    Holy shit, it’s spreading! We had a Spider-Man standing beside a roundabout (all day) the week there was an offer on (any pizza, any size £7.99 iirc).
  5. Our first ever attempt to get a carry out was foiled by a police sting. We got a guy to buy it (the brother of a current SPFL Manager). The police were hiding outside the offy in an unmarked Hillman Imp. When they collared him he shoved the copper and ran away. He was much faster than his brother, we were all frozen to the spot and dutifully gave our details. A visit followed the next day. No formal sanction was administered and I was left without a stain on my character.

    Dick and Pink Campbell imo
  6. most are more secretive now but there are known to sell it/ accept fake ID

    Sounds similar to what it was like when I was underage. Quite a few of us had older brothers and sisters willing to get it, but we all knew the shops that weren’t worried about serving us. A fake ID helped. Some would believe it, some genuinely couldn’t care just wanted to tick the box. The underage testers aren’t allowed to break the law so just ask how old the kid is and it’s job done.
  7. Sorry Grazza, not sure I have much advice to give. Sounds quite a stressful time with MIL not being too well and quite a few job changes. Hopefully the new digs is the start of things settling down, can either stick at the job or find one you want to stick at. Once things settle down at that end, I’d be looking at seeing if the social side improves - if you want it to. If you and your fiancé are happy just going out together then I don’t see the issue. I don’t know her thoughts on this though, maybe socialising with family and friends are more important to her and you’d need to understand that.
    Sorry I’m not much help!

  8. I was sure there was a football podcasts thread but can’t find it...anyway;
    There’s a new fitba hacks podcast with Tom English which is very good and the latest Quickly Kevin with James Acaster is really funny (they review/critique the John Sitton documentary)
