Larkhall had a black sign on their Subway as opposed to green I'm sure and aren't their green traffic lights protected behind a cage?

It definitely goes on and is absolutely pathetic.

I assumed you were joking so Streetviewed it.

On a similar note, I very much imagine this has come up in this thread before, but people who were a football top to go on holiday are absolute imbeciles.

EDIT: or to go to social events, a court appearance, etc.

'No nonsense' people seem to come with more that their share of nonsense.

Absolutely tragic yet not surprising


My brother used to teach in Larkhall and just said he watched Rugby when asked who he supported as it was easier that way.

To be fair, I know of a couple of people who could be described as 'not taking fools gladly' but they're not bullies, more if someone's an idiot they don't bother with them.

There's nothing wrong with that, infact i suspect that's what most people do. it's the need to announce it to everyone along with the university of life and school of hard knocks that is the sure giveaway that the person is a fanny

Glen Hoddle would say you were evil in a former life to have been a football top.

Those who refer to anyone who expresses concern about the safety of other people in any way as "helen lovejoys".

There's a place for that insult but it's massively misused.

Disagree. There isn't any place for it as it's daft patter which has no insult value whatsoever.

Have you never watched The Simpsons?

I have but tbh never seen any episode with her in it so had to ask what it meant after I saw it in here for the tenth time.

Just don't see it as being any sort of insult to get annoyed about.  Being absolutely honest it's very cringy, even childish patter which I only ever see in here.

Cant agree with this. Much as I fucking hate terms like "virtue signalling", social media has absolutely given rise to what I guess you might call "faux concern" over every topic you care to imagine.

Lovejoy is absolutely the best comparison for these types.



Eta similarly I occasionally see folk talking about how gammon is shite patter. Its not. Its famtastic and should be used more

Take your point on it being a comparison but unless the recipient of the "insult" knows The Simpsons well enough to know who she is then it's not an insult. Seeing it written repeatedly on here hasn't given it any more gravitas. See also "gammon", despite that poster losing his head over it a wee while ago.

I suppose the yardstick is when someone asks what it means then it is way too niche and therefore useless for anyone other than those backslapping each other over it's use. Also, let's be honest here, it has no place in the vocabulary of a grown man.

I will never defend anyone who doesnt have a working knowledge of Simpsons canon.

The "won't somebody think of the children?" line is good when people are pretending to care about the impact of something on others, when really they're just being selfish. But I've seen it used here today to describe people suggesting we might want to get some education out so that not so many people drown every time the sun shines, maybe include open water swimming in school swimming lessons, and that's definite moron behaviour.

And I agree about having to know The Simpsons - I know the line and the scene well, but I never knew the character's name until I googled it after seeing references on here. Off this board I suspect hardly anybody does.

Most people would probably think you meant the maverick antique dealer and take it as a compliment because he was a bit of a shagger.
