Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

So, STV decided not to show the FA Cup this season so that they could showcase more home-grown Scottish TV.

Instead of the FA Cup Final, they're showing the Julie Roberts film "The Runaway Bride". Filmed in Inverurie, is it? Production carried out in Methil? Extras cast from Alloa?

Good job it wasn't a soap opera.

A mate of mine, originally from North Queensferry but living in Dundee was out in Edinburgh for his Christmas night out, with the intention of returning to his parents house just over the river.

Suitably blootered at the end of the night, he stumbled through Waverley and found his train home, where he promptly sat down and fell asleep. He woke up as the train pulled into a station, and, seeing no-one else in the carriage, jumped off the train and set off down the platform. Realising he wasn't in Queensferry, he made his way outside and found a taxi driver, who told him he was in Dundee. "Bloody hell" he thinks, "that's lucky. I've got a flat in Dundee!" so he gets in the taxi and gets a run to his flat.

Now, this is Uni accommodation, and it's only a couple of days before Christmas, so there's nobody else in, and there hasn't been for about a week. Understandably, the flat is freezing cold. At this point, he realises that he took all of his bedding home at Christmas, and he's only got a bare mattress in his room. Now, at this point, anyone else would've just stuck their jacket back on, flipped on the heating, and tried to forget about the cold and go to sleep. However, in his drunken state, he didn't think that sounded very fun. So he goes back out onto the street and starts wandering around looking for a taxi. Now, bear in mind, this is now getting to about 3 o'clock in the morning. Eventually, he manages to flag one down, and asks the driver how much to take him back home. "£80." Well, he doesn't think he's got much of a choice at this point, so after being driven to a cash machine, he sits in the back of this bloke's Octavia and gets a lift home.

The kicker? After he woke up in the morning, he had to get the first train back to Dundee because he couldn't remember locking the door, or if he'd left the heating/taps on.

Brilliant! :lol:

What time did you start drinking? It's nearly Sunday morning.

About 10pm last night. Although I was drinking until 8am and only got 3 hours sleep. Had a few cans today watching the final, but they didn't do anything at all. Just a waste of beer really.

two-day hangovers don't exist.

You don't exist.

ah well if your just going to invoke curd to win the toast debate thats just unfair since your clearly correct.

I wasn't trying to win anything. I used to have lemon curd on toast every morning for breakfast when I was younger,though I haven't bought a jar for years.

The Toolstation.com advert.

The shitey reasons people have for voting for other couples on the delightfully shite Coach Trip. "We're voting for you because you don't have a yellow card yet" WHIT?
