Tales of P&B Past


Torpar

Yeah, I remember that well, with Throbber defining the city centre with some random & arbitrary rules. Think there was a google maps / MS paint map posted with the definition?


It was in the thread about Edinburgh trams, he had a swipe at Edinburgh so I had a swipe back as I had recently stayed in Tradeston at a friends and couldn’t believe how much of a shit hole it was considering it was so central. I had a personal attack on him and on his city and all he responded with was anger at me for saying Tradeston was the city centre and I kept on insisting it was just to annoy him.

I still don’t believe it’s up to anyone to decide what is and isn’t the city centre.

It needs to rotate 90 degrees and include ibrox and Celtic park imo.

*oh crap, erm... scratch face*
I love this thread.

Purely because I had absolutely no idea about this one in particular

I’ll admit that I used to find Ad Lib slightly tedious, but that cracked me up, as it showed he had a decent sense of humour & without sounding too wanky, felt as if I was “in on the joke” - since taking up his role at HoC library, I’ve paid a lot of attention to AdLibs posts on here (not many tbf) & his Twitter & found him to be very informative.

I STRONGLY ADVISE people interested in politics to read his stuff.

Without doxxing him, is he the guy who is called up on BBC News quite often when they need an impartial opinion about parliament

Surely arms through the leg and button it up? Cannae be cutting about bare arsed. Best bet would be to get off at the quietest station having organised someone to be waiting there for you. 

Yes I think that would be the best course of action.

I can't see how anyone could ever buy a jacket instead of jeans though. Wouldn't happen.

What would you do in that shitty jeans scenario? Tie the jacket around your waist like some sort of mad denim kilt? Put your legs through the arms of it and button/zip it up as best you could?
Maybe even hide in the shitter and call a pal to get some trousers and jump on the train for a stop to pass them over?
Take the police precaution and subsequent place on the register?
Trains should carry emergency trousers for such situations, or for situations where a scumbag pours tomato sauce all over you.
Yes, "tomato sauce" officer that's what it is.

The site was created in Jan 2003. I set it up and pretty much left it sitting with no fucker on it.

Scottish Football Online, which was the first "all club" forum then died and a load of Clyde, Falkirk and St.Mirren fans moved into P&B.

At that time we just had one forum which was for the old Division 1.

It grew from there. Coming up for 17 years on it's had a bit of everything.

Through some very dark "upgrades" and major crashes we've come perilously close to losing it all on more than one occasion over the years but we've somehow muddled through and here we are, still going. The site has been busier in 2019 than it has been since it's peak traffic period of 2009 and we are even pretty close to beating that record.

We served 2Tb of content last month to 328,000 unique visitors. The web server handled 62 million requests from just under 4 million page views.

Madness!

I was telling the shitting jeans story over 20 years ago, but my version involved the guy shitting himself then dashing into Burtons on Princes St, grabbing what he thought were jeans off a display then running down the stairs to Waverley Station and just catching the train. As the train went between Waverley and Haymarket he threw his shitty jeans out the window and...

he got off at Haymarket?
