  1. You still get milkmen?
     
    Thought that cheap supermarket milk would've made it hard for them to compete. 
     
    Edit.. nice touch with the cards.


    It’s cheaper out the supermarkets but then I suppose the draw is fresh milk on your doorstep twice a week. It’s 8 hours old when it hits the doorstep haha, I still just buy mines out the coop since it’s only a job that suits uni and family hours.

    Found a card for our friends over the water.



    Absolutely outstanding [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    On a separate note, we looked much more solid at the back without durnan, I’d leave him out again this Saturday. Only liability was Doyle, which almost proved costly. The pair of them can gtf, Doyle is much more interested in making an arse of himself off the pitch when he actually makes more of an arse of himself on it.
  3. We had 175 deliveries on Wednesday and that was in only 8 streets


    Suppose your downside is having to wait on someone to answer the door that takes up most time.

    We have between 250-300 a night but, it’s just a case of whip it next to the door and in to the next night. One night of mines is really spread out but my other run is like that, concentrated really close together
  4. Any advice on stopping cats trying to knock the bin over and get stuff out of it? My two are horrendous for it, can’t leave food for two seconds or they’ll be off with it.

    One has simmered down (marmalade the house cat) the other one who likes to go out and about is unreal sometimes

  5. I will be enjoying not being rushed off my feet,the joys of working for UPS at this time of year.


    We have our busiest two weeks this week and next with double milk orders and every door being delivered too on Sunday Monday both weeks. Only plus side is I have a week off after the second week, down side is I’m back at uni so no rest for the wicked.
  6. Last week I delivered 600 Christmas cards to deliver to all the customers I drop milk off too during the night.

    I don’t know their circumstances but I do know some may have no one and will be spending Christmas alone, it’s a bid to combat social isolation and hope it brings a smile to someone’s face. If it does, I’ll be a happy bloke.

  7. Big test next week for M&M but by all accounts not losing a game thus far for them must be a good confidence booster, only bad result was the 0-0 at east fife, but last week we would’ve lost under McKinnon, this week we wouldn’t have fought back for a winner under McKinnon. The fight and fire seems to be slowly coming back, a few new additions in jan if we get some will be 1. A boost, 2. A judge of what M&M view as the expectations of standards.

    As someone else said before they are pissing with McKinnons cock, so here’s hoping they have higher expectations.

  8. I have lived in Ukraine (about as socialist as it gets) and I can tell you from personal experience socialism it’s a great theory but in reality a disaster . The people there are the most racist I’ve encountered anywhere and socialism has left the ordinary people without any hope of a decent life . So don’t tell me from the comfort of your dole Cheque that you are intolerant of other political opinion.

    The country voted ( it’s called a democracy ) and the winner has the right to govern . You have the right to protest but please do not bring your vile filthy attitude to a football chat site . It’s where socialism begins to turn to communism and segregating others for daring to have a different view becomes dangerous . Had your party leader realized that concept and avoided his anti Semitic vitriol then the result might have been different. I am not a Tory but I accept without them you would have no sky tv probably no football club no cheap flights or shops to buy your designer gear in . It’s very easy to be an arm chair critic and no doubt your only hope of a decent life would be to win the Tory introduced lottery. My advice to you is to spend your life fighting for what you want but don’t criticize others and keep the chat on here about football please.

     

     

    Realistically had labour won socialism would not have been implemented. Near impossible to implement across one term, nor two terms. The scare mongering tactic from the Tories, and lets be realistic, labour is still full of Blairites so the corbynistas would’ve been outvoted by their own party let alone Tory, Nats, Lib dens.

     

    I don’t think socialism should be an option, but the scare mongering of such was pointless as any rational observation of the Labour Party and the current parliamentary procedures would’ve rendered this mission impossible for Corbyn. Let’s put it this way, he would have an easier job with brexit than he would with t ting to implement a socialist regime

     

    ETA: can we leave the politics where it’s at and carry it on in the politics forum, and get back on to talking about Falkirk .

  9. Here's Links Park before it was redeveloped.
    imageproxy.jpeg.jpg.85e808af8b217ccdf381f624eefbcfd9.jpg
    The pitched was moved when the new stand was built. The curved bit used to go around the corner flag. I'm pretty sure it extended for another few feet so they must have chopped a bit off when the work was done. 
    There was an additional quirk, clearly visible above. The side terracing was angled. It wasn't parallel to the pitch.
    There was no proper toilets either. You just had to pish behind a wall in the overgrown wasteland behind the side terrace.



    You answered my next question, what did the old main stand look like as I had heard the story about the Highland games.

    Why did they opt to remove that main stand for the one now? Just objectively I think that picture of links park looks phenomenal. Proper old school ground.
  10. About a month ago I took my first sick day at work. I got a text from my manager saying “if the jobs not for you just tell me”. Now I work myself into the ground between full time nights, full time uni, and a parent. Simply stated if he wanted to continue down that dialogue it would be between me, him, and my union rep. Funny that I’ve had no hassle from him since
