  1. Yet another remarkable feat of fortitude, single-mindedness and strength from this tough British soldier. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/30/british-soldier-harpreet-chandi-world-record-fastest-woman-ski-alone-across-antarctica I know this’ll give little pleasure to some on here who’ll call this “woke shite”, as she is not only female but from an Asian background and oop north! Gasp. The horrors! I am very impressed.
  2. I like your rationality of “a wee boost” just after HT but I think, with the weather, it would be more likely to give an early one - 11 minutes. (and, of course, another in the 80s, if needed)
  3. AND… there were one or two other typos! Gasp. Ta Ta used to rake the middens in oor street, but we’d been in afore him. Slim pickin’…
  4. Watching Agatha Christie’s two-parter (Murder is Easy) last night, I kept commenting on how many fine Scots actors were in this very Midsomer-murdery entertainment. Also, I couldnae fathom where (in the south, on a rural rail route via Epsom allegedly into London) it was filmed. 🧩 🤔 It was filmed in…. East Lothian, Stirling and… Paisley! (I think I recall Forbes Place looking toward Causeyside, for a start. Almost tempted to skim through again. Almost.) It was ok. Entertaining. LOTS of murders, lots of potential murderers, sunny, great costumes and an eventually complicated denouement. eta: it was 2 one hour episodes.
  5. That, of course, could be playing a part in the lack of success. No consistency in forward partnerships, no understanding of where other players may be, react, run… Practice makes perfect, but if you keep changing the keys/strings/notes the tune gets discordant. I look at the team list weekly and think these are (mostly) good players. This should be ok this time… it’ll come good.👍
  6. There was a time in this forum when a lot of folk were really keen on this crowd. Reborn with this…

  8. I’ve been “sitting, waiting”! Get a life, tosspot! It’s night-time. In my pit, scrolling the interweb looking for anything of interest , anywhere, and (due to my love of St Mirren) popping on here to see if there's been any news… only to be brought back to shit again, as there’s only posts from detritus like yourself. Fartaway appears to be the sad sack “sitting waiting to make another ludicrous post”. Only fartaway…. And how can fartaway even imagine from any person’s posts on here how their partner might react or how we may relate to each other? How can my partner discern that I “might” post in a pompous manner…? Mental. Thus… …conveniently, I do understand why he might type such shite… it’s a wonderfully Freudian projection of his own failures onto another person. (In this case, scarily, an imaginary person he’s encountered on the interweb!). My wummin(never a wife) is certainly not a poor wife/wummin. Though “tragically” we definitely don’t have a garden room, nor a motor home. ffs But thank you for the entertainment.
  9. All the respect that’s due… to the 2 indefatigable posters who gave up their their Xmas day with “close friends” and “loving family” to post on here…. Thought I'd pop in, last thing, to see what I might have missed…. Past hour Mrs Brown's Boys shull replied to shull's topic in General Nonsense You've chosen to ignore content by shull.

  15. And…once again… I arrive on this platform to find nothing better than the same again. The two same mundane wankers responding to subjects that only they have posted - not even talking to each other! And yes…. The irony of me doing similar is not lost. 😉 And, like them, I seldom get to many St Mirren games. Though I have the dubious bonus (excuse)of not being near any Scottish fitba stadiums. Tomorrow… a new game …. The forum may benefit from that.

  18. Sorry, 59er…. wasn’t suggesting your “eroding sandstone” was the squinty door - just that it’s the most “dubious” part of the building currently, but that wisnae due to erosion. It’s one of the oldest parts still standing, I believe. Sandstone erosion husnae been its main problem. Human activity such as retreating English troops trashing it, fires, being used as slum housing, the central tower collapsing (mibbe due to earlier fire damage….?) The Paisley air has cleaned up massively, I’m told. Since I left…
  19. It was doing well early in the year… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64647854 …and EDF runs ALL 8 of the UK’ nuclear plants. But it’s currently having major problems (IIRC) in building new ones with what they thought were a really good model…
  20. One of those nice platitudes that might (just) have relevance…
  21. eta I’ve always felt the same way about the word, “sleep”.
  22. I expected you to post that, unexpectedly. (as I typed “unexpectedly” it began to take the shape of “not a real word”. Spooky.)
  23. I see what you did, there! 🤓👍
  24. 1. It's not presumptuous - it’s a rational deduction from your posts. 2. And you post about “common knowledge that public sector workers are more likely to strike than private sector workers”, without addressing the reasons why that sector is striking! They’re striking due to the government choosing to refuse to provide sufficient wages, staff, training and other resources for the experts to do their jobs. For me, it has always been common knowledge that Tory Governments will squeeze the public sector as it’s the easiest way to balance their budgets, which helps them say they are the party of low taxation. (despite this current lot having the nippiest taxes since WW2!)
