  1. Second bet on this week after picking the Derby winner earlier. Not a bad little scrap, and a whole lot closer than the bookies had it.
  2. Hope he’s okay. Been through a lot recently by the sound of it. His input on here is always good value, and hopefully he’ll be back on soon to tell us all about a new dog he’s taken on to keep him occupied.
  3. Only bet I’ve had all week.
  4. I’m sure there’s a breeding population in Glasgow, and has been for a few years now.
  5. 08.00 Day off today and so jumped on here to catch up and noticed the usual suspects bickering hasn’t kicked off yet. Maybe they’re all still in bed, whilst the rest of THL get stuck into a bit of graft to keep the nation’s neck above the water? Anyway, as a younger man like most I burned the candle at both ends, and barely felt effect. Nowadays I’m up between 4 & 5 and in work before 7 after a 40 minute commute. I wish I could reset my body clock to rise and retire later but I’ve tried a few times to no avail. Not a problem now whilst I work but not sure what the fcuk I’ll do with me

    Latvia?

    Not much help I know, but my missus was there last year with her sister. She used the city e-scooters to get about. Says they were easy to use/hire and they were able to cover a lot of ground and see everything they wanted over a couple of days.

    F1

    Verstappen is a petulant child. His team made two blunders with the pit-stop and advising he yield to Russell before the stewards had ruled. But his decision to deliberately ram Russell should have seen him disqualified. Some will say his uncompromising driving makes him a winner.., but to me there’s sporting integrity, and then there’s cheating. Sometimes there’s no glory in winning at any cost.
  8. Lee Harvey Oswald was a former marine. Just saying…
  9. Utterly brilliant and incredibly moving in equal measures. Written by a Scotsman who emigrated to Oz, but this version is my favourite.
  10. Getting in early with this one. Around 2045 I’m going to be really pissed off when ‘Rise of the Footsoldier 27 - major agg at Euro Disney’ comes out.., and an eighty year old Craig Fairbrass is still playing a bloke that died in his thirties.
  11. I’d like to see everyone who approved the privatisation of water provision and waste services, as well as anyone who’s received a dividend cheque or bonus payment from one of these companies, drowned in piss and sh!t.
  12. Won by a German. I’m saying nothing.
  13. Maybe they’ll reduce the licence fee now that they’ve got his £1.5m salary off the wage bill? Wish he’d taken that clown Micah Richards with him too. Regards his political views, and whether he should be allowed to voice them as an employee of an ‘impartial’ public funded broadcaster, I think there’s an element that comes with the job and territory and you’ll always be called out by those who disagree, and not by those that agree with your position.., so exercising restraint is probably the best way to go. He has said some controversial stuff of late.., the nazi Germany stuff on UK immigr
  14. Football managers being handed a microphone on the last day of the season. Fcuking cringeworthy.
  15. Watching the F1 on my phone but with the women’s Scottish (FA) cup final on tele.., Glasgow City v Rangers in a near empty Hampden Park. Not exaggerating, if the Rangers mens team played the women they’d beat them at least 30-0. The gulf between the two sexes is gargantuan. I don’t think any amount of investment or subsidising will ever bring the women’s game anywhere close to the men’s game. Bless them for trying though.
  16. I hadn’t seen or heard of that. I could even excuse that sort of talk if they’d just come out a riot situation.., where they’d been in actual danger and the adrenaline was pumping, but feeling anything but sorrow and regret after thinking you’d had no option but to deploy that to get control of a one legged 90+ year old man is the behaviour of a fcukin cowardly thug. I hope they throw the book at him.
  17. Forza Napoli. Always had a soft spot because of Maradona and they’re the black sheep of Italian football. Amazing scenes. https://x.com/willemhaak/status/1926016646608552010?s=46&t=VY4brBw2Zl3y1kklDlkEFg
  18. Man U were mad to let Mctominay go. And Gilmour is 23 but couldn’t break into the Chelsea team at 20? He’d do a job in the EPL.., both would easy. And before you write off Italian football and Scottish midfielders, Napoli just saw off Champions league finalists Inter to win Serie A. EPL champs Liverpool didn’t get past the last 16.
  19. Have a sister in law and a couple of cousins who’ve done it. Sure they paid about £500 each mutt. I told them that there’ll never be a shortage of Romanian ‘rescue’ dogs whilst nutters are paying for them. Foreign puppy farms is all your creating.
  20. Really difficult watch, and all seemed so unnecessary. I wonder now if a lot of the skills of police work have been lost to risk assessments and operating procedures. We live in such a litigious world, where everything is video’d, and a copper would risk everything surely by not doing it ‘by the book’? Obviously not condoning what went on but how out of line were the officers? Imagine the implications for them if he’d managed to hurt someone. Something I said on here a while ago after watching a couple of female officers jump out a van and head into McD’s, neither of them over about 5’4, bar
  21. Heard it was a dreadful spectacle. Said before Man U have always been my favourite English side, so obviously disappointed. A win though would have been very thin paper over huge cracks. Fcuk Spurs, but actually delighted for Postecoglou that, even if he gets sacked, he can stick two fingers up at his detractors. I admire him for doing it his own way, for the bit of personality he brings to the EPL, and for not playing the game with the press. Listened last night to some no mark presenter say ‘he says things he shouldn’t’ in pressers. What a dick. Football management must be the most insecur
  22. Opel Ascona, in light blue. Bit like the photo but a little lighter and four doors. Loved it.
  23. Aged maybe 7 or 8 I used to catch them and sparrows using my mum’s washing basket propped up with a stick with a string run to me hiding at the back door…, the design of which I got from one of those ‘boy’s own’ type books. I’d bait my trap with stale bread (remember when bread actually went stale).., they’d get wise pretty quick but there was always be a bold or reckless one to catch. I did graduate to knocking a few over with an air rifle, but my old man put a stop to that after I cracked a pane in one of the neighbour’s doors with a ricochet. Like you say, wouldn’t dream of it now, altho
  24. Hmmm, assume he’s banged up in a male prison…, go figure. Don’t forget that this nonsense is the hill that Sturgeon chose to die on. She put the rights of a biological male rapist to be labelled a woman and go to a women’s prison, front and centre and above the rights of the female victim. It was political suicide on a spectacular level and it collapsed support of the SNP overnight, undoing decades of work. Then not to mention the disastrous fall out where one of her potential successors was ‘outed’ for her ‘wee free’ and slightly conservative views on gay marriage, and who’s actual replace
