COVID-19 In Scottish Football
Academically Deficient replied to Lex's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
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. -
I assumed this was a cover of the Rolling Stones b-side. Man, was I wrong

Phil Spector is dead
Academically Deficient replied to FemdomFilmFan's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
True. Danny Says is a great song though. Baby I Love You is effectively Joey solo cos none of the others play on it. -
Phil Spector is dead
Academically Deficient replied to FemdomFilmFan's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
His answer to the "where do you see yourself in 10 years time" question was probably wrong as well. -
Phil Spector is dead
Academically Deficient replied to FemdomFilmFan's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
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. -
I too like the Jam's cover. And The Who's.

Accies v Terrors
Academically Deficient replied to Granny Danger's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
But factually correct. That's as much as I can manage I'm afraid. -
Accies v Terrors

Ok then. I hope youze get pumped -

I wish I was motivated enough by this game to provide a witty or interesting response. -
Scottish Infrastructure
Academically Deficient replied to jamamafegan's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
I dont think this is like Bismarck claiming Schleswig-Holstein. You can keep them. No worries. -
Scottish Infrastructure

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. -
Things you want to share with P&B
Academically Deficient replied to Ad Lib's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
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". -
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Academically Deficient replied to ICTChris's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
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. -
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Academically Deficient replied to ICTChris's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
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. -
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Academically Deficient replied to ICTChris's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
No, but homers are not allowed (if I'm understanding it correctly). -
Worse than washing sieves
Academically Deficient replied to Cosmic Joe's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Is it TV irritant, Phil Cool? -
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Academically Deficient replied to ICTChris's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
I agree. If they insist we should be working then give us the jag. Only fair. -
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Academically Deficient replied to ICTChris's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
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? -
What has happened to Music for the last 30 years?
Academically Deficient replied to JayCrawford's topic in The Music Forum
I'd accept the first one if it meant the last one doesn't happen. Don't say I'm not good to you. -
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.

Academically Deficient replied to JayCrawford's topic in The Music Forum
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 -
Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Good grief, no. Dreem Topping with a can of, ahem, "fruit".
