Scary Bear Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Because it a yellow football shirt and you're 47.I’ve taken your points on board, considered them and rejected them. My ongoing research into late 40s male fashion trends tells me that I should endeavour to bring more colour into my wardrobe in the hope that its influences other auld c***s to ditch the constant blacks (racist!), dark blues, dark greens and greys. I want the older generation to look like fucking CBeebies presenters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Birthday celebrations/events. Aye very well done for surviving another year, congratulations. If you actually liked all these people you've invited to your birthday night out you'd see them more than once a fucking year. Spoiler And no I wasn't invited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a farm, some big stand alone mansion or B&B for business purposes, then fair enough, but a semi-detached or terraced house called 'Schiehallion' or something of that ilk? Nah. Not having it. Missus' friend bought a detached cottage type house in Newton Mearns and created a name for it. if looking to decide on a venue for some get-together he offers up the name of his house as an option ie "why don't we meet up at Shang-ri-la* ?" *can't remember the name he gave the place but the name in itself annoys me as much as the fact he named it in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 My folks named the house I grew up in by Scottish-izing the view of the nearby (English) hill. They had a nameplate made from slate and put it up by the front door so it was the first thing anybody noticed on coming to the house. Utter cringe. My Dad used to include it when giving his address and got annoyed when the rest of us didn't do the same. Worse, when they retired back to Scotland, they took the nameplate with them and put it up on the new house where it made even less sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 On the subject of house names, my mate (surname: Pirrie) used to live in a house that was miles away from anywhere, essentially in the middle of a big park. Taxi drivers knew where to go when directed to Little House on the Pirrie. oh how we laughed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This annoys me no end. My folks used to put every single bit of detail when writing out their address (and mine). eg Title. First Name, Surname House name House number Street Area of the City/Town City/Town Postcode Blew my mothers tiny mind when i once sent here something and only put the house number and the postcode on the envelope and it arrived safely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said token diddy then proceeds to big himself up as if he's some sort of genius telling stories about the amount of times "just turning it off and on" works. Fuming. Absolutely fuming.

Tbf, for most addresses, I don't see why we can't just have a system whereby the code 12 G44 4AP UK should get to your house if it was sent from Australia. What more do you need other than the house number, street (easily identifiable by it's unique code) and a country code? My mum used to always write this address for her mum when sending from within Scotland: [insert house number] Davaar Drive, Wardneuk Estate , Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire , [insert postcode], UK Mental behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
