Waiting on some highly specialised very very important equipment coming at work. Was ordered in March and its supposed to be here early May. Still not here. Contacted the "go between c**t" and hes informed me that they orders will be here week 26-27 or week 30.

Just give me a delivery date you chuntering twat.

That’s sub-optimal, and sounds like they’ve adopted the auto industry approach. The last two-three years, when you order an item for a lot of vehicles, it can often be on back-order. The little ploy they’ve started doing is giving you a date 4-6 weeks out as the expected production/arrival date…then, when that arrives and the part doesn’t, “oh, sorry, production delay, it’s now due (insert new date 4 weeks out)”. Since 30th week would be the end of July…

someone asks "are New Balance/Asics/Hoka/etc any good?"

how much you willing to spend/what type of shoe you looking for/is the shoe for running, walking, sky-diving etc etc?

might as well ask are shoes comfy........

If on social media it is obviously just for likes/comments, with the usual dullards responding suggesting trainer x he just bought for £25 are the comfiest things he has ever worn.....

Every single football player in Scotland starting a tweet/post with “Unfortunately, my time at x has come to an end” when their contract expires.  
 

At least try and be a bit original lads 

Would love one to come out with "thank f**k that's over".

"Thank f*ck my time at Station Park/Ochilview/New Meadowbank* is over. The place is a dump and the fans are arseholes. I now look forward to playing in the West of Scotland League Division 4..."

The english football fixtures being released 8 days before the scottish ones, despite our leagues starting a week earlier. 
I know we have the playoffs etc to deal with, but surely even before the season ends they could have 4 or 5 plans in place for if Team A gets relegated/promoted these are the fixtures, or Team B gets relegated/promoted, the fixtures will be x,y,z. That way, once the season has come to it’s natural conclusion they can have very little adaptations to make to them.

I for one welcome a few days peace during what feels like the nanosecond of our close season before our mighty clubs' fans restart knocking lumps out of each other over forthcoming fixtures. 👍

I reckon their format is a bit easier for the algorithm to spit out given its only playing each other twice

Yeah, i get that and being honest, it hadn’t bothered me until i seen the epl ones coming out today and noticed the start date, maybe just me seeing that and being an impatient d**k. 

There’s also an increasing tourist trade in EPL matches. I’m seeing more and more offers of air/hotel/tickets for the London, Liverpool and Manchester area teams, with one or two weekends and a match or two…at exorbitant prices. The earlier they schedule, the easier to sell…

The (greetin' faced, largely silent until they shout abuse at me) fans have been the (source of my wage and supposedly) 12th man & (not) so supportive during my time here.  I'll (probably not) miss the (toxic) atmosphere at this unique club that's made me feel at home (that I've been wanting to leave for a while) for two years.

You didn't order it from me? Did you?

I'm having to push out lead times constantly, some raw materials are impossible to get hold of just now.
