  1. A few Celtic-minded crazy people on Twitter are stoking up the "anti-Irish" racism bollocks. As usual, bigots tend to have this superpower that allows them to spot bigotry everywhere, even though it is invisible to diddy team sane people. Lennon always attracted boos from other fans. He was that type of player. See also: Terry Hurlock, Ian Ferguson, Walter Kidd, Billy Abercrombie, Kenny Black etc. And of course, our own beloved Dougie Imrie, despite never having dived, fouled or moaned at a ref I confess I have also shouted unpleasant things at Keith Lasley, who actually appears to be a lovely fella. Sue me.
  2. I assumed this was a cover of the Rolling Stones b-side. Man, was I wrong
  3. True. Danny Says is a great song though. Baby I Love You is effectively Joey solo cos none of the others play on it.
  4. His answer to the "where do you see yourself in 10 years time" question was probably wrong as well.
  5. His over-production of The Ramones was a black mark against his career. Enjoying the whole "I've not heard of this guy, get it off the news" vibe. It's like "yer da patter" in reverse.
  6. I too like the Jam's cover. And The Who's.
  7. Judging by the expression on the faces, either Celtic are losing or the Parachute Regiment are doing the halftime entertainment.
  8. But factually correct. That's as much as I can manage I'm afraid.
  9. I wish I was motivated enough by this game to provide a witty or interesting response.
  10. I dont think this is like Bismarck claiming Schleswig-Holstein. You can keep them. No worries.
  11. Does Greenock not have about 8 stations between the two lines that go through it? This just in from our pedantry correspondent. *nasal voice* That is a most interesting question. The answer depends upon whether one considers Fort Matilda to be in Gourock or Greenock. A secondary consideration is whether IBM halt is, in a meaningful sense, a conventional service stop.
  12. Ah! It makes sense now Young guys at work were telling me (I paraphrase for the more sensitive P&Bers): "Here, a lady of mature years that you probably know, has broken the internet singing Metallica on a bike. Most attractively proportioned and I, as a mere youth, would be glad to accompany her to an evening of light opera".
  13. Heard a rumour about Kyle Lafferty signing. Based on the fact he's left his Italian club and has a house in EK. I rate this in the Highly Unlikely category myself.
  14. If you have guys that could WFH then she couldn't have been clearer today, they should be doing that. That's the problem though. On a construction site some guys sort of can work from home, but can't really commit. As long there's site activity you can't just say "that's it, I never need to be here". Unless you're a QS or in senior management maybe, something like that.
  15. We were all hoping we'd get sent home. Some of us would get furloughed others wfh. For the life of me, apart from guys working on essential maintenance, testing etc none of this is essential. Cynical view? The furlough budget wont stretch to it, so we carry on. But, to repeat myself, we should be getting the jag now, way before people who have been at home since March.
  16. No, but homers are not allowed (if I'm understanding it correctly).
  17. I agree. If they insist we should be working then give us the jag. Only fair.
  18. Rumours abound that construction is going to be shut down. I think it's unlikely, just wondering if anyone has heard similar? Translation: can I go home now please?
  19. I'd accept the first one if it meant the last one doesn't happen. Don't say I'm not good to you.
  20. Anybody know any action was taken on Vigurs for that snidey foul on Scott Martin after he scored v Ross County? That was nasty and it cost us.
  21. I dont know who Norm Burns is, but this is good. I'm imagining the recording session: sincere folkies in pressed shirts at the mic, long haired freaks in the band, trying to act straight. Like The Association, but weirder.
  22. I think this is already a contender for worst thread of 2021. Coming up on the rails: Let's All Laugh at Accies Relegation Thread Rangers Are Back! Oh God! England Win the Euros
  23. Good grief, no. Dreem Topping with a can of, ahem, "fruit".
