No, obviously not.

The one that had descended into puns about periods? It wasn't me who closed it but I'd argue it was a sound decision.

There was an 8 page thread about cliques a while back that had some good points raised. Maybe that would be a better option to make a point about a related topic on?

[Scouse Hibee]

Alleged homeless people that sit and beg, especially those that sit next to ATM's. There was one outside the Co-op on ER before the Motherwell game was asking for £20 off people for a bed for the night. When a woman went to the ATM he upped it to £70. Aye, like thats ever going to happen. *****in chancer!


Agreed, a whole lot of them out there including some of those selling the Big Issue.

No, it was your post started 05.37 yesterday " A friendly reminder.. "

I coudn't make my point because it was closed. It wasn't a controversial subject and why was it closed anyway?

Thanks.

We're thinking of the same thread.

It was closed because a serious issue, or as serious an issue as a thread about an internet forum can be, just got a bit silly.

Of the 21 posts there was my OP, 6 jokes about Zitelli/the telly, 8 posts about periods, a couple of decent suggestions and 4 posts abou a clique. That was about it.

I'd be happy to debate if there is or isn't a clique on here (I don't believe there's a clique as such but we have been running so long there are undoubtedly groups who know each other abd little in jokes amongst such groups). As I said there was a long running thread about that very topic a couple of months ago.

That thread wasn't closed as an act of censorship and it's something I'll admit to getting nippy about. It's been an accusation thrown at us for years, with little foundation, that we are puppets of the Hibs board who manipulate the forum to present a prescribed picture.

[CropleyWasGod]

Even if we decided that they do have a roof over their heads at night, the fact they choose to sit outside on the concrete begging for loose change makes me think they're in dire need for it - food, clothes, electricity - and don't have any better means to obtain money.

Or have I missed your point?

A lot of them are at it in the sense they have homes and take to the streets to beg as it can be very lucrative, they do it in shifts some of them and during the festival the tourists are duped into giving them any loose change. Some have nice haircuts, a fresh shave and decent gear on.

The main board after we get beat. It's full of imposters with uber Hibs usernames like "Hibee 70 63 girfuy yam *******" spouting negative divisive pish about individual players.

Take a look at the other boards and you'll see most of the posters have normal usernames relating to their name, location, job or another non hibs related characteristic. Why is it all the negative posters have uberhibs handles?

If we're talking about changing room etiquette surely the worst offenders have to be the (normally older) guys who are just a bit too comfortable with their bobby out. I get there'll be times when it's on display but the first item of clothes that goes on surely has to be the pants. Doesn't always seem to be the case with some people though.

The sheer length of time it seems to take to have breakfast/generally complete the morning processes.

Regardless of how fast I move, the process of showering, having breakfast and getting dressed rarely takes less than half an hour, which seems preposterous as I try to minimise dilly dallying.

Minimise dilly dallying further by not showering or eating in the morning. Simples :wink:

At football stadiums when people enter from the wrong side of the row. There’s a guy that sits along from me and every week he comes up a set of stairs at the right of the row 2 minutes before kick off, everyone moves for him so he can take his seat 4 seats into the row at the opposite end right next to the stairs at that side. I’d understand if he was a walk up and it was a one off but he was at it all last season and it’s continued this season. He’s a torn faced auld git into the bargain and mumps and moans from start to finish.

I was up on George Street during the festival. It was where they had the helter skelter. I went on it with my daughter and left my partner in the seats where we were sitting. When I came back my pint which was still half full was gone. They didn’t even bother to ask if it was done.

The new exit to the dump at Seafield.

Why can’t I turn right when I’m leaving? And why have they closed the entrance to the B&M so I can’t do a turn there?

I’m guessing it’s because it’s a bit of a blind bend, if that’s the case is that no a really stupid place for the exit?

Employers taking the piss with working week expectations.

I'm currently employed but looking for a new job and it's becoming more and more common to see companies expecting you to work 8:30am-6pm or weekend work with no day back, apparently this extra work is reflected in the salary but there's no noticeable difference.

What happened to the working day being 9-5? Why has it become acceptable for employers to start sneaking in earlier starts or later finishes?

Most of these cases make it up the aisle with only millimetres to spare, then they block the whole carriage because they are too big to be stored.

Or put them in the luggage racks at the end of the coach where they're supposed to go, there used a charge for more than 2 pieces of oversized luggage on a train although I've never heard of a guard charging anyone. There also used to be a flat £3 fare for bikes as well as a charge for dogs. On the sleeper theres a £30 berth cleaning fee (payable in advance) for anyone who brings a pet into the berths.

There's about space for 6 cases in the carriages forcing the larger suitcases into the aisle. There are overhead racks but with width for lap top cases.

The size of parking spaces - struggle to fit into most of them and manage to open the doors with no mishaps.

Staying on the parking theme...people parking half a car in from the end of a parking bay.

Conspiracy theorists, particularly those who became structural experts overnight because the 9/11 buildings fell straight down.

F...ing idiotic notion.

Along with the 'should of' peeve, I see people using 'A' when they mean 'I' loads these days. Brutal. "A should of went tae skool".

That's just an accent thing, isn't it?

I agree about the "went" though. Unfortunately, there are professional broadcasters on radio who say that all time. Murdo McLeod and Charlie Nicholas come to mind.

Not when it's written down - which is what I was meaning (no problem with accents), I should have been clearer.

It's shameful that people come out of our schools unable to talk and write the language properly. I'm always saddened when I hear foreign footballers - particularly the Dutch and Scandinavians - being interviewed and they speak better English than most of us. Call me snobbish about this. I don't care.

****ers on Facebook who post constantly about going on holiday, then post nothing but crap when they are on said holiday ,pictures of food, hotel rooms and even pavements. Made a sarcy comment on a "friends" page tonight and they went nuts (they're one of the you ok hun, pm me babes type) saying there'd be plenty more photos and post to come so I responded by saying nah, not for me there won't unfollowed. :greengrin

The checking in at a hospital facebookers then sit and wait for everyone to ask what's wrong. I came off FB a few months ago and happy I did. I can still message folks so do that instead

Agree. Although I managed to be totally ignorant to the fact there was one until I got into the office today :rolleyes:

Maybe they should get their own tv channel with 24hr fly on the wall documentation.

On pay-per-view and they can pay for their f***ing weddings that way.

:agree: That does my nut in as well.

Also people (usually from the west of Scotland) who use the word "wur" instead of "our".

e.g. We've learned wur lesson. :fuming:

Some nice linguistic snobbery here. It's called a dialect, in spoken terms at least.

Unless you mean they write like that. In which case yes, off to the gallows with them.

I didn't ask anyone to agree with me. The thread's about pet peeves and that annoys me.

I'll ask for permission next time. :aok:
