  1. A-holes who just stop in front of you without considering what's going on around them (generally people with zero public awareness). A-holes who cycle on pavements. Manky unsocialised till operators who lick their fingers to seperate the handles of a poly bag. Bawbags that toss ciggie butts out of car windows. Stinky bassas that get on busses. Khunts that think it's acceptable to put their feet up bus seats. Self-lovers who go to gyms and spend more time looking at themselves in the mirrors then exercising. The SFA (just grrr!)
  2. Only if you don't know how to do it properly Key is in the word gamble (betting on a chance outcome). Learn from what the bookies do. They don't gamble, They operate a business whereby they offer and take bets based on a thorough understanding of odds (probability), randomness, reversion to the mean and intrinsic value. But above all that they also understand psychology and that most people gamble because it's more important to them to be able to brag that they called it correctly than to be consistently profitable (what Freud called the ego). To those people it's all about being right more often than being wrong, regardless of whether they make any real money or not. Successful gamblers understand they will probably be wrong more often than they will be right (that their strike rate is immaterial) because by only betting to value odds and staking their bets properly they accumulate steady and consistent profits. There are stats aplenty that show (across the spectrum of categories) favourites in horse races only win between 25-35% of races. Yet people still blindly bet a favourite at odds of less than 4/1. That's not to say a fave at shorter odds, or even odds-on, isn't the genuine odds favourite. But it says you cannot come out ahead by blindly betting favourites - and it helps explain why bookies make money consistently.
  3. BP reveal the truth in their nice new giant billboard ad on the approach to the terminal at Edin Airport. "In the North Sea, life begins at 50. After half a century we're still discovering more vital resources for the UK." Any updates from Sir Ian?
  4. The nightmare returns First remember getting introduced to this stuff in Bigdog. Ruinous stuff, indeed.
  5. Think we might be getting closer to the truth here. Echoes of Gordon Smith's departure methinks.
  6. And the other notable fallout from this game was what? Maybe you had to have been there to remember that one.
  7. The zone is generally Princes St north to Rose St. West to east it's generally Princes St/Charlotte St Sth - top of Waverley Bridge area.
  8. You drove a car on Princes Street? :yikes3: Most cars get away with this but I've seen the cops stop and fine plenty drivers for this, particularly now the trams are operating.. If you're coming out of Mussleburgh races again it might be easier (and quicker) just to turn left and head in the direction of Wallyford to get onto Salters Rd. That takes you to the A1 which leads to the bypass, rather than trying to head through Mussleburgh itself.
  9. If you're in before the gates close you can stay in. Unsurprisingly, they don't advertise this
  10. Be careful with the Edinburgh bus lanes. Some are 24hrs Mon-Sat, some only operate 7.30-9.30/4.3-6.30 Mon-Fri and some have sneaky cameras on them. In one way it adds to the congestion because people are scared to use the bus lanes just because they aren't certain when they operate. They are talks to standardise them. Your mention of bus gates suggests you've come off the motorway from Glasgow at Hermiston Gate and gone straight over the roundabout (only way you hit a bus gate) instead of turning right onto the bypass.
  11. There was some seriously good fun had in the 'jakey' bars in the Pawilony part of town (just off the main road between palm tree area and Bierhalle). Enjoyed the March trip but thought all round this was much better on most fronts (result apart).
  12. "all about that bass, no treble" is "all about that cage, no gerbil" according to my six-year-old daughter. My mate used to interpret the line "save him his life from this monstrosity" in Bohemian Rhapsody as "spare him some time with these warm sausages".
  13. If it was the one with the car behind them they weren't getting married - just filming an advert (according to the girl).

    Every footballer will have good games, do nothing wrong and win games for his team. Every footballer will have poor games, do something wrong and cost his team the match. All players move within this spectrum. It's largely pointless arguing about it.
  15. Lot of Scottish supporters in Warsaw saying they were not attending the England game, including many high pointers. Seems to be some pub nights being arranged instead to watch game on TV. The SFA may well sell out the England game and pay scant regard to those protesting non-attenders but if they think the same people who will pay to watch us play England are the same people who will watch us play Georgia they are playing a dangerous game.
  16. I was in Dublin last week for a meeting at Trinity College and was speaking to a woman on the plane over who said she worked for the Irish FA on the admin side. She said it was likely to be confirmed (prob this week) that the Irish would get an official allocation of 7000 tickets (said they'd had almost 35,000 applications for tickets). She didn't specifically say so but said there had been 'indications' they might get more than 7k. Prob meant the SFA will wait and see what take up there is from home fans before releasing any more tix to R0I fans. I'm only going on her word for it but no reason to doubt her authenticity. Time will tell. But either way I'd expect the final number of Irish fans in the stadium will be at least half again.
  17. There were moments in this that made you think what an absolute comfort jockey you are. Respect, Danny.
  18. Are you sure you were in the proper Louden Tavern?
  19. They don't care. Don't you know the SFA is a £30m a year BUSINESS!!!. The incumbents are looking to DOUBLE that. Their bounus relies on that. INCENTIVISE monetised idiots and you end up with CLOWNS.
  20. Don't want to come across as some drunken emotional early morning idiot - but that attendance today was a fucqin disgrace: 34, 719. SFA you want your arse kicked because you have no idea what make Scotland fans tick. That crowd was there IN spite of you, not because of you TW@TS And you can try and ban me if you want. But you WON'T. You know you WON'T.
  21. Just signed it and we're only at 453. C'mon folks.
  22. It was Caldwell that gave the ball away in the Lithuanian half. The last (only) defender was Steven Whittaker. Caldwell was never a Beckenbauer but his commitment is beyond reproach. His winning goal against France at Hampden was a great moment but the one thing I wish Caldwell had done which he failed to do was banjo that arrogant fukker David Trezeguet when he slagged him off when France were 4-0 up in the Parc de Princes in 2002.
  23. Deary fukkin me. The SFA are obsessed with social media. Possibly even more so than football. Thank fuq I don't do social media.
  24. Quite pleased that I've never managed to see this programme.
