tamthebam Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 4 minutes ago, Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth said: Am I allowed to do Jury Duty? Got called the other day and was surprised. I have a criminal record and was sentenced to a community payback order in April 2017. I finished it in June 2017 and it was considered 'spent' in June 2018. Website isn't the clearest on the eligibility. They changed the eligibility regarding convictions recently so you might be eligible. They're using Braehead cinema for Glasgow jury service just now rather than the Court. Worst film ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 On 14/03/2021 at 14:01, Mr. Alli said: Which is the best GoApe! to go to out of Aberfoyle and Aberdeen? Taking my mate for her 30th. Not been to Aberdeen but took the boy to Aberfoyle many years ago. Longest zip line in the UK/Europe IIRC? Amazing experience well out of the comfort zone (now that it’s a distant (scary vivid) memory). I ended up shiteing it and walking off while the then 12yo a-p jnr revelled in seeing his dad as a shitebag and finished the course - he still tells folk to this day. And it may or may not be related to him now starting a career hanging about at the top of the wind turbines. Recommended. But maybe just the once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct answer is shortly after 12, 12-12.15 But it sounds stupid and more like they mean 12.45ish imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an expression that's lost all meaning in modern times, as everyone has their own idea. I've seen it used as everything from just before the hour, to just before the next hour, with various gradients in between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
