He's just announced it's his last night, with a wee compilation. He's an annoying p***k but that was actually quite nice. Any idea if he's an arsehole in real life? Or a good guy? I met him in hospitality at Airdrie v Motherwell years ago. He was nice enough but a bit strange. I don't know what he expected in a Scottish football ground but he was in wonderment at everything. "Waw, a shirt and it's in a frame! Oh look an old picture! The pitch, the pitch, you can see the pitch...this is great." " Aye right Jim, see ye!

And they know how bad the consequences are, and they're trying their very best to somehow make amends (although never really will be able to).Is it just the stupid trip you're taking issue with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge, none of these people involved are my sister. You're not married, though, are you? So he's not really your brother-in-law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" fae the scheme" I doubt that she's ever been in a scheme in her life. "Just a big young team" Does the BBCs writers even know what a young team is? "Bins for dugouts" Wtf?

"Just a big young team" Does the BBCs writers even know what a young team is? "Bins for dugouts" Wtf? The BBC have some strange ideas about housing schemes, quite patronising. Depends how old you are in sure people who were brought up in post war schemes would say people brought up in schemes built in the 80s had it easy. Even places like Abbeyview in Dunfermline have become almost gentrified in my lifetime. Some young people may use scheme as short hand for housing estate, I probably would. Although I agree she does seem to be referring to poorer areas of housing and I do feel it gets romanticised. Same with a young team the wee gangs of guys who called themselves a young team when I was growing up didn't do anything more rebellious than graffiti, smoke week and drink buckfast. That's probably what the Beeb and herself were referring to rather than folk waltzing about with knifes. Sat on they big industrial bins? Could be? But it's a poem it doesn't have to be everyone's understanding of words and phrases but it's her understanding of the terms. It's a poem at the end of the day, it's art and it's to be interpreted if the interpretation doesn't work for you then that's fine, isn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Someone I met today learned that I was a mathematician. To prove it, she asked me what 9 times 7 was. I’m not even sure I answered her correctly, but the speed and authority of my answer had her satisfied. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 My grandfather married his cousin's wife after the cousin died. I'm still unsure how socially acceptable that is (widow and widower and not blood relatives).My wife's friend married her cousin. They're no longer together but it still amazed me when I found out as I assumed it was illegal in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Mrs Shotgun is currently watching "America's Got Talent" * so I'm sort of aware of it going on in the background. In one of the transitional bits between the acts, a middle-aged presenter has just asked a wee lassie "Do you like K-Pop? I like K-Pop." * It's kind of like "Britain's Got Talent" but with fewer British people. We still get Simon fucking Cowell though.

In a sense, it's an incentive for those who wish to play the system. Get married, screw around, get divorced, get loadsa dosh, rinse and repeat.

Empty It Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 My wife's friend married her cousin.
