Albert Kidd is right up there with the other Hibs legends.

It's almost impossible for a player of one club to be described as a legend for another club.

Albert Kidd meets the criteria though. He has a status that sees him talked about on non-Scottish football forums and the like, albeit that's partly down to the general astonishment at how HOMFC so embarrassingly capitulated on that fateful day in May.

Generally, I would agree with you, but I know a few examples of this and, actually, in these cases it is the parents who encouraged it.

Probably think it makes them look 'cool' and 'down with the kids' 😎

Guy next to us in the West on Saturday spent the whole game on his phone on facebook. Left his seat five minutes before half time,came back five minutes after game had restarted and left 10 mins before the end!

People who don't understand what an ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY department is for. The clue is in the name.

I've an acquaintance who has a diagnosed chronic hip problem. She has seen her GP, has been referred to a specialist, is on a waiting list for an op and has medication to control the problem. 4 times last month she checked in to A&E at the infirmary (checking in to hospitals on Facebook is another peeve of mine) because her hip was 'soooo sore'. Each time she would post several hours later with a rant along the lines of 'NHS are bloody useless, in so much pain and sent away after waiting for 5 hours and told to see my GP'. Sorry but if it's an ongoing non life threatening condition then of course it should be delat with through your GP and specialist. That's not what A&E is for.

Same girl last week posted a picture of her legs and arms on Facebook with a noticeable red rash asking 'does anyone know what this is?'. All the usual question'Have you done the glass test?', 'do you have a sore head?' etc. A friend of mine then posted saying I can't be sure but if that's hot too touch then it could be scarlet fever. Asked if she had a sore throat and so on. This girl is a nurse in a dermatology department. Idiot then comes back and says 'oh my daughter has scarlet fever last week'. Advised to call the NHS non emergency line or make a GP appointment next morning. Problem solved? Oh no an hour later the check in pops up at ERI. Few hours later 'NHS are bloody useless, sat for hours then sent away with amoxiciliin, be right back if this doesn't start clearing up soon'.

I'd totally understand if she had a mental health issue that made her anxious about health issues but she's quite open in conversation that she just has no patience and doesn't want to wait for appointments and knows she will get seen if she just toughs it out in A&E for a few hours.

I know quite a few doctors and it can be fairly entertaining listening to their descriptions of people failing to adequately answer the "so what is your accident or emergency?" question from their a&e days. Particularly from New Zealand where they weren't shy to tell people to gtf in pretty blunt terms

I'm a miserable ******* I know but I hate that song and I hate that we sing it now.

We're already a bit too cosy with Celtic for my liking without us sharing songs with them too.

I realise I'm probably in the minority of one though.

I think it is supposed to firstly, tempt you into the shop who will make he little profit, and to secondly, buy more than you need because they are 'cheap'. You may be tempted to return to said shop on the hunt for more bargains in the future so everyone is a potential winner.

Yeah, the shop buys them from the supplier to use as "loss leaders" and there's various (anticipated) longer-term benefits for both, not least that people doing a big shop will get into the habit of putting them in their trolley without realising the revised price.

I understand the principle but, come on, £1 to £2.25? That's just ridiculous.

The real price is actually £1, they often increase it to £2.25 and mugs still buy them

Depends where you live. 5 different buses stop at a stop near me and if you don't stick your hand out they don't stop.

Ok, more specific. On Forrest Road. When there's like 20 folk at the stop, and the person putting their hand out isn't even at the front of the queue.

They do this so that they can advertise a bigger discount in another store - items on sale in supermarket stores are often marked up in other stores for a period of time so that they can later be advertised as discounted elsewhere.

DFS' sale is a prime example, they'll chuck a sofa at the back of their site at a ridiculously inflated price so that they can then sell it at a big mark up somewhere else a couple of months later but they're allowed to claim it's on sale at the normal price because it's cheaper than it was in the other store.

Total ****ing con.

Also, automatic revolving doors that are never at a normal walking speed.
