😂 if she is reading this you should be more concerned about what she is going to do with the flag pole if she catches you in that cape of hers.

My husband swears by sketchers too, though his choice is usually determined by whatever is in the clearance section of TKMaxx.

I couldn’t give a fuck either, but if I had the choice of spending my cash in a chippy that serves everyone, or a chippy that turns away a 79 yr old woman because she has her country’s flag round her shoulder, I know where my money would go. Thankfully Tam’s chippy doesn’t discriminate 😉

😂 I could have worded that better. He should be safe as long as he keeps his mask on 😁

I highly recommend the book for a funny, easy read. There are not many ‘spoilers’ on the TV programme as it is only loosely based on the book.

😂😂 I bet the person whose jacket your fag burnt is still moaning about flags too.

Yeah I understand the argument but as Pete himself says, some folk will see £1 mio being spent on 50k tickets for a game of football as a complete waste of money, but it gives people pleasure. We could be here till the next WC talking about what is construed as wasted money. And small a thing as the flags are, this will also give people pleasure ( maybe no Pete right enough 😁) . I remember my first few games and the excitement of the atmosphere and the flags , that stays with you. Youngsters who are going to their first game will feel that too. You get that Rampant out and wave it loud and proud 😁

So are flags when someone else is paying for them.

Och lighten up Pete. As someone else said its not like they are going to be waved the entire game,. I imagine it will be a bit tense for synchronised flag waving during the game, but will recommence if we are 3-0 up, plus the kids will like it. Neither can be a bad thing. May as well ban the singing as well , for the folk that dont like tone deaf steamers wailing in their ears. Though that would probably go down quite well on here 😊

Its better than I expected but as with a lot of things its not as good as the book. The humour from the book doesn’t quite translate as well , but I still enjoyed it.

Thanks for clarifying, I was pretty sure you needed masks in pubs but wasnt aware of the rules for clubs. Most definitely because it falls outwith the ‘need to know ‘ category for me 🙄 There is at least consistency in this, but it becomes farcical, how on earth are you supposed to manage mask wearing in a club ? Half the folk will be too pished to even find the loo , never mind remember to put their mask on to get there. As I said before, I dont find wearing a mask a big problem but personally I think pubs, restaurants and clubs should be exempt and make it a personal choice. With the rules on ‘table service only ‘ being abolished in pubs, and folk now standing all over the place, it is hardly worth the effort wearing a mask.

The door cutting idea seemed a bit daft to me too though I admit to knowing fook all about the subject. However this was, I believe, only one of a few options getting presented to a Holyrood committee, it is typical of opposition parties to jump on it. The guy certainly shut up the folk on the comments section, who, like me, clearly know nothing about schools, doors and ventilation. He just batted folk aside with actual information rather than get involved in the usual screaming matches.

Its definitely pragmatic, but if reducing the spread of covid is the aim then it seems a bit contradictory to have no masks in clubs/pubs but have them in restaurants. Surely there is more chance of spreading covid standing right next to people in a pub for hours than walking to the bathroom in a restaurant?

You said that wearing mask does fuck all to stop covid spreading. I disagree. I definitely cannot see the difference between wearing a mask in a pub and in a restaurant and in that respect I agree with you, but I disagree that they dont stop covid spreading.

Are masks not compulsory when going to the toilet in pubs ? I didnt know that. I thought the rules were you still wore a mask when moving around either in pubs or restaurants. It does sound daft when you dont need them in nightclubs though. Be interesting to see the reasons. I know the SG try to distinguish between things that require choice. Ie , folk need to shop for food hence the reason for masks, but going to a pub is a choice so you take your chances sitting in close proximity to strangers . I dont agree with this. There is varying evidence on their effectiveness but there is recognition that they do reduce the spread. I dont like them but its no exactly a big inconvenience to wear them .

Watched Tinder Swindler last night. Wtf. It is absolutely amazing what some folk are capable of and the naivety of others. I didn’t know whether to feel sorry for the women that were conned or give them a good shake. Wont say anything but its worth a watch. Gobsmacked by the ending too , sometimes I really think there is no hope for this world. Cheery wee Saturday night review 😊

That’s interesting, and whilst I think the rich and powerful can most definitely hide behind this, I am not entirely sure I agree with the bit below. Unfortunately i think there are more dodgy folk out there than people realise. My husband did a bit of work for a company and about a year or so ago he found out one of the guys working there, that he had quite a lot of dealings with, had his house raided and hundreds of indecent pictures on his computer. Pretty awful by all accounts. Everyone was shocked, he seemed a completely normal, ordinary, popular guy, no one had the slightest idea this was going on. This may of course be the exception rather than the rule, but I think there may be a lot more exceptions than people realise. ‘’I have often noticed that ordinary people like you and I manage, in general, to live our entire lives with no connection of friendship to paedophiles at all. Yet the powerful are always finding they are connected to Janners, Epsteins, Saviles, Smiths, Mountbattens etc entirely by accident. It is of course all nothing but accident, bad luck and coincidence. To wonder if it might be otherwise is to be a mad proto-Fascist conspiracy theorist, apparently.’’

Exactly. Even mask wearing isn’t being enforced in most places. Guy sitting opposite me on the train yesterday bragging to a woman next to him about how he had never worn a mask in 2 years, apart from on a flight, like it was a fookin badge of honour. She is sitting there with a mask on protecting him and he is slevering his germs over her.

Its possibly the most cunty thing I have read on here for a while, and I am most definitely in the category that think we need to move on.

I think its a great idea. As the guy organising it said, if everyone who is going to the game donated £1 it would cover the whole stadium. I dont think everyone will and no one should feel they have to but it doesnt need to stretch the purse strings either. The flags can only enhance the atmosphere which can only be a good thing .

Hmmm, sometimes less is more.

I went down that illegal route a few years ago , never again. I bought one of those ‘boxes’ from a guy who knows a guy. However, as well as not having a fookin clue what I was doing with it, someone got murdered not far from where I live and the police were doing door to door enquiries. They came into the living room to ask questions about where I had been at the time the guy was killed ( wtf do I look like a murderer ??) and the dodgy box was sitting on the floor in front of the TV , I had been trying to tune it in or whatever you do. I must have sounded as guilty as hell as I kept shifting my eyes over to the box whenever they asked me something . Not only that, we had an ant infestation at the time and the floor was covered in white powder. I couldn’t get them out the house quick enough.

Dont think you will be disappointed with the rest its been a consistently high standard.

No, not seen it, but I am bloody ragin as I signed up for Now TV for a few months so I could watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, amongst other things . I was on series 3 and turned on the TV the other night to find there was only Season 9 available , they have pulled the first 8 series of it. So I had to jump about 20 yrs forward 🙄 The men all look 20 yrs older but the women look 20 yrs younger . Still enjoying it though. Will need to try and find out how to watch the 6 missing series 😕

😁 But hopefully not the Rolling Hills ! If I didnt tell him to slow down they would have no life left to live ! I thought I was going to die at Harthill , how depressing..
