Cyclizine Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 11 hours ago, Funky Nosejob said: Robert the Bruce died about 700 years ago. Allowing for 3 generations per century and an average of 2 children surviving to reproductive adulthood per generation, would mean there are currently about 2^21 (2,097,152) direct descendants of Robert the Bruce. You only need to go back 800ish years before everyone in Scotland has a common ancestor. Even for Europe it's only about 1300 years. https://youtu.be/Fm0hOex4psA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Earlier this week, BBC and ITV both running cheery stories about Paul Gascoigne's goal celebration against Scotland with the same kind of what's-he-like-eh tone that they adopted 25 years ago. It's common knowledge that the man's been drinking himself to death in the intervening years. Is it still not in poor taste to celebrate him sticking two fingers up to people who criticised his binge drinking while on duty with his national team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Scotland game is on at 1pm here. Problem is, ah’m oan the night shift. (Someone else can add the Chewing the Fat gif). So, I have to decide if I want to try and sleep for 2-3 hours, then get up for a couple in order to see them get their arses handed to them in real time. or Just sleep through the day and wait until I get up to find out how bad it was. It’s a dilemma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) I had to send a letter to HMRC pointing out the very basic factual errors in their 'tax rebate - f**k off' calculation for 19/20 and so needed an envelope and a stamp from the Post Office. I select an envelope and wait in the queue forever while Sadie (94) works out what her pension money would be in shillings and pence, or whatever ridiculous task takes so long to complete. I get to the front of the queue only to be informed that 'we (the fucking Post Office) can't actually sell envelopes'. You need to go to the opposite side of the shop to queue again to buy it from WHSmith, before traipsing back up again to queue to buy a stamp, before sending a stupid fucking written letter in 2021. Which cost over £1 to send in total. An absolute fucking useless waste of my time and resources on so many levels.

Totally get what your point is in this day & age, electronic communication would be far more efficient, but, when you got to the front of the queue with the envelope at the post office counter, why didn’t you purchase the stamp then? It would have saved you queuing 3 times when 2 would have been enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An inefficient decision, to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s thrilled the game is later in the day so he can watch the whole thing. Unlike Monday when he missed the first half.

The people who were slating Gascoigne for the dentist chair weren't medical professionals or alcohol abuse support groups, it was the tabloid press who just wanted another front page outrage piece. Given the absence of any good faith motivation I think he was entitled to respond accordingly tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The dentist's chair stemmed from England players going out on the piss in Hong Kong. England played a Hong Kong Golden XI Select and only won 1-0 (Les Ferdinand). I only mention this because ex Meadowbank player and Dunfermline and Sheffield Wednesday hero Lee Bullen played in the Hong Kong select. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
