    I know we haven't got many 4 lane motorways up here but this is a guide for driving in England:

    Drove back up the M6 from Cumbria on Sunday and the amount of times that I had to go from the left lane, to the outside lane and back again to overtake some fucking c**t toodling along an empty motorway at 60mph in the middle lane was astonishing.

    Its superb up to a point.

      Reveal hidden contents

    Debra Morgan allowing 13 and her accomplice to walk scot free rang hollow and as for the whole "falling in love with Dexter, covering up La Guerta's murder and the "series finale" was stretching credulity to the limit.

    The reboot was good though.

     

    It's great up till the end of s4 and then it's all downhill.

    I agree the New Blood season was pretty good tho.

  3. I think the closest I came to walking out of a film was "Now You See Me".

    A film that would just be forgettably bland if it didn't have the added ingredient of actors/characters so utterly hateful.

    Best experience was the first Wolverine stand alone film.  The movie itself was shit, but the lassie I was there with gave me a w**k.

    Was it not just a case of him failing to sort his feet out as the pass from Dessers was kind of straight at him instead of in front of him to take in his stride rather than a dive looking for a penalty? At the match he didn’t seem to be appealing for anything, he just had his head in his hands for presumably spurning a great opportunity to score.

    Sorry to say it looks to me like he's anticipating a touch from a Hearts defender and goes down.  

    He's probably not anticipating the Hearts defenders to be in a different postcode to him, tbf.

    Daft dive aside, i'm more angry that our striker who was on a hat trick in a semi final at Hampden has decided to square it.  Useless c*nt.

    A bit of a PTTGOYN post this. My van was MOT'd in January and I've done 3000 miles since. At the MOT there was no mention or advisory about brake discs or pads. It just went in for a service at a different garage and I'm informed the discs & pads are almost worn through, way below the limit.

    I'm inclined to trust the servicing garage over the MOT place, who were likely either incompetent or lazy, but a past experience with this is always in the back of my mind.

    A few years back in the old job/van, it had new discs & pads replaced for an MOT. 6 months later it got a service somewhere else, and they rolled out the old "brakes need done m8". The boss took it elsewhere and they said the brakes were absolutely fine as you'd expect after 6 months.

    There are no doubt chancing c**ts everywhere, although I've always been happy with the current place which is long-established with a good reputation. Typically I also needed 4 tyres too so bit of a sore one. 

    I got the brakes done on an old car of mine years ago.  Took the car to the same place a few months later for it's service and MOT and got the "your brakes are almost gone" chat after the service but before it went in for the MOT.  I called back and asked to speak to the manager and advised that if the brakes were almost gone less than 4 months after his garage replaced them, then there was obviously something wrong with the parts they were using.  He went away to check and i got a call back about 15 mins later saying that they had made a "mistake" and called the wrong person.  Despite me making sure that they were talking about my car at the time.

    Yes, dear reader, it was Arnold Clark.

    Hibs fans are wind up merchants in non shock The fact that a gesture like that would have the less emotionally balanced Ibrox attenders in a froth means job done. 

    if any Rangers fan believes the Hibs fans doing it are either Irish or frequent mass attendees in church  then I’ve got some magic beans in my pocket to sell them for £1000. 

    Do you think the Rangers fans that sing the unacceptable songs are all at church on a Sunday? 

  7. Dune Part Two.

    I thought this was excellent and visually stunning.  If I'm being ever so slightly picky, it's not quite at the level of Part One.  They've made a couple of big changes from the book and left out a really pretty major plot thread that will need to be introduced if Part Three is made.

    I felt that it rushed the ending slightly as well.

    If your course has a Rated Winter Course, or you play off standard tee areas throughout the winter, you can get cut any time, and Scottish Golf has been encouraging clubs to use this. There are a couple of applied limitations (clubs are expected to put in place a Local Rule re use of fairway mats, and these can only be played from fairways and tees, and no more than 2 temporary greens can be in play), but I have heard that a few clubs have started to apply handicap changes for their off-season medals and Pro Shop Winter Sweeps.

    Yeah, last year we couldn't put anything in but this year they put a load of rules in place.  To be fair it was full greens and proper tees all round. Course was very wet underfoot in places but it held up remarkably well considering the rain we have had.

    I had a great round last night myself. Obviously on a shortened winter course but 36 shots (2+) for 9 holes brilliant for me! 6th birdie of the year as well. Iv set myself a target of 35 birdies and 1 eagle in 2024. Buzzing for the actual season to start on April 1st 

    Other than 1 or 2 holes that had tees brought right forward, but still within where the yellows would normally be, I was surprised that the course wasn't shorter than it was.  

    I didn't drive the ball like an absolute dick today which also helped and I finished 18 with the same ball I started with.
