  1. Has anybody contacted Peter Hartley for his opinion?
  2. At half time on Wednesday we were staring at a possible no-points-from-six scenario which, as it turns out, would have seen us in 10th today, just three points above Ross County. F**k THAT. parallel universe!
  3. Good point. Might be best to bank this one (no rhyming slang intended) before Sportscene starts
  4. The missus doesn't know what's just happened to make me so happy, but she already has the look of a woman who knows she's on a drunken promise tonight!
  5. I'm not so surprised at the result: the more you looked at the option, the more ambiguous they became. However, I wasn't expecting that sort of margin between them, almost 2:1
  6. Those work well generally, but occasionally a back is on so tightly for whatever reason that two generic-shaped bits just aren't enough. I bought this three point tool recently to get the back off an old Caterpillar quartz watch that hadn't been opened for 20 years, and it did the trick nicely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254714831645?chn=ps&_ul=GB At the end of the day, though, unless you're going to need to do this regularly and are prepared to buy a whole bunch of different tools, you'll almost certainly be cheaper in the long run just paying someone else to do the job for you.
  7. I tried SO hard to convince myself I didn’t need one, but once again my willpower was found wanting. In the end I went for their Breguet-inspired model with the floating tourbillon, roman numerals, blued hands, and Clous de Paris dial. I’m glad I did, though, because it’s absolutely stunning and I could watch that tourbillon spin all day long. On a boringly practical note, it seems to be keeping near-perfect time too, if you like that in a watch. The lighting on my own pictures doesn’t do it justice so I’ve included a snippet from the Sugess promotional video alongside an actual Breguet for comparison.
  8. You heartless b*****d, they can't help looking like that!
  9. Me too. I don't know whether to make a contribution to the Society For Distressed Gentlefolk, or just boot her in the pie.
  10. It sets a poor example, and can be very confusing for children. I mean why is the fucking hamster bigger than the fucking elephants?
  11. You forgot oestrogen in the water supply. And if you think "social media" isn't a significant factor you can stick your red dots up your arse. Indeed.
  12. Turn off their wifi and force the useless c***s to emerge blinking into the real world. An enforced break from social media will either kill or cure them.
  13. Aye, I'm thinking maybe check back sometime around 2031 to see what division we're in. Assuming we still exist...
  14. Oh, I'd have been delighted, believe me, and I'll still have been smiling at kick off on Wednesday. However, the slow motion capitulation from 3-0 up against Aberdeen was genuinely bad for my mental wellbeing, and I couldn't face a potential repeat so soon. Like many on here I would never bet against my own team, but simply not watching them sometimes has its merits!
  15. I trialled a new approach today, with some success, whereby I didn't watch the game and completely avoided all score updates and social media. Unlike the LIkely Lads, there was no intention to watch it at any later point. On checking the result at 2pm it was of course still a disappointment, and a boot in the baws to find out we'd been ahead, and were still level going in to added time, but like ripping off a plaster it was all over quickly and didn't ruin my whole afternoon/day/weekend. I realise this isn't the point of being a supporter, but I'm seriously thinking of extending the experiment to cover the whole season next year. It would have been nice to find out this May that we'd finished tenth on goal difference without having to sit through the whole "record-breaking winless streak" and "re-signing Oli fucking Shaw" sagas.
  16. Finished 4-1 to Sturm Graz, but no more goals for Biereth. Max got 10 minutes at the end.
  17. "You'll be shocked by this cheap alternative to anal bleaching that big Pharma doesn't want you to know about"
  18. Two messages to your less-than-enthusiastic-sounding new striker...
