That's a great idea! Id manage that. What kinda shop makes you walk in one direction anyway? Its a bit too controlling for me.

I cant manage to follow wee dots on Google maps, ive no chance with arrows :rolleyes:

At least the price hasn't increased in 3 years! That was what they charged me for a large Pino Grigio back in 2016 at Let It Be. Couldn't quite believe it. A few months later I was charged £6.50 at a theatre in Covent Garden. Mental.

Wrong. Any single carriageway road has a 40mph limit for hgvs, the A9 has an experimental 50 mph for hgvs to speed traffic up.

Any hgv over 40 mph is speeding and breaking the law except on the A9.

Kinda missing the point. Hgvs are going 10mph faster so everything is moving at a better pace than before. It's car drivers that don't know the laws that slow everything down.

If everything was the same speed there'd be less braking and frustration.

How often do you drive the A9? I'm on it every day.

Slightly naughty motive to this question but it's for a friend... Do you know if the dual carriageway bits are covered by the average speed cameras?

Dual carriageway is a race track. 8km of single carriageway North of Perth has 40mph average speed cameras currently while work is going on. Dual carriageway is not covered by the cameras.

So you will know that the 50mph for hgvs has improved the average speed of traffic and made the road safer due to less idiots trying to overtake.

My peeve is two types of vehicle with different limits on the same road. One where trucks outnumber cars mostly. Why you felt Alan Partridge like to "force me smell your cheese" - I've no idea . That might even be my next one :wink:.

Tell your friend he can put his foot down. Occasionally there may be police van cameras on these stretches of road but not often. The average speed cameras DO NOT cover the dual carriageway sections

Different speed limits apply to different vehicles on every road in the UK not just the A9. On other A roads it is 40mph for hgvs.

I have no idea what you are on about Alan Partridge.

Charity shop staff.

I had a garage clear out fairly recently and donated 3 golf clubs to a local shop. A few days later I donated a **** load of other stuff which was worth a lot of money.

I’ve visited the shop regularly since then and have seen about 0% of the things I have donated offered up for sale on the premises.

On asking, you get some flim-flam about stock having to be rotated but I know exactly what goes on. The good stuff, like my forged irons worth roughly £50 each, get picked off by the internal vultures and are taken for free or for some daft, token amount.

I have no connection to any charity shop or staff, I just think it's daft to moan about something you committed to.

Same goes for my Edinburgh accent when I'm speaking French. My mates take the crap out of me but I don't mind as I can give out as much as I take, but with othrt people it comes across as a cheap shot, sometimes verging on racism.

Guinness is all over the place these days. It's a triumph of marketing.

I like a well-kept pint of it myself but I have to say that despite its hearty, Irish rugby-playing image it's not actually very strong. Five pints of Stella or whatever will knock you flat but Guinness drinkers stay upright. Perhaps that's why it's a good session drink.

Drinking lager from the neck: a brewer's delight. By the time you reach the bottom the beer is flat so buy another etc etc.

After two or three swigs it's a goner.

Why do every single ad for bottled lager show young men drinking from the bottle.

Clever brainwashing?

Can't say I've noticed that, maybe German beer is different. What I have noticed is that some beers taste better from the bottle rather than out of a glass and vice versa.

People who seem incapable of showing the appropriate respect, formality and social graces at social events. I thought it may be a generational thing but it seems it's not endemic to one group.

A lady in my work just stated she doesn't want to attend a funeral of a relative so rather than simply not attend or make a phone call or write a letter expressing sympathy and explain she can't attend she has decided to turn up at the crematorium just long enough so a few people see her outside then sneak away before they enter the building. I'm actually stunned anyone thinks that is acceptable behaviour.

I was at another funeral recently where a couple of people were filming the Minister during the eulogy. I was also at a wedding last summer where the celebrant asked at the start of the service that people please refrain from taking photos at the request of the couple and don't post anything on social media that day. Within seconds of the service starting there was a sea of phones covering faces and the wedding was all over Instagram and Facebook within the hour.

Finally we had a Baptism during Mass recently and one women swanned in slurping a Costa coffee, a couple of people in front of me spent the whole Mass alternating between laughing, yawning and sighing and another group thought it was ok to take selfies throughout.

I accept in all instances people have different beliefs and place differing levels of importance on such things but on each occasion it's obviously important to the people who are the focal point of the service. Is it really too much to ask to show a bit respect for somewhere between 20 minutes and an hour?

Those are all massively embarrassing! I'm not a Facebook/Twitter person and I find the invasion of personal privacy particularly galling, I've got no interest in seeing what state I'm in over the course of a night out, particularly when I've not even been asked if I mind being in the photo.

When mobiles became popular there was a fear of health risks due to ionising radiation. In the UK this was dismissed through relatively aggressive public info campaigns. We were told there was more radiation leaking from a microwave then the average mobile phone(I don't know anyone that places their head against a micro for the length of a phone call?).
On the continent however they adopted a slightly more conversative approach so many many folk hold the phone away from their head (and the skulls parabolic effect).

Airports

1) At security, people who wait until they are right at the rollers and then start taking belts off, coats off, rummaging about in bags, being told they’ve got a bottle of water in their hand and a bottle of shampoo in their bag and that’s not permissible and act astonished.

2) At luggage pick-up, people who stand right by the carousel. As soon as the person at the front does it, everyone else has to follow suit, like falling dominoes. What it means is you have a couple of seconds’ notice when your bag passes as you can’t see down the line. If everyone stood a couple of feet back then everyone would surely be able to see the length of the carousel

I was on a flight yesterday with a budget airline. Went through security, gate was called and went through passport control and was sitting in the departure lounge waiting for the gate to actually open. No sign of anything happening but a couple sidled their way around the fencing to get to the position closest to the gate.

Within five minutes there were around sixty people behind them and still no sign of any staff at the gate. It was classic herd mentality. It was half an hour before the staff showed up and started shuffling people through. Best thing was, once everyone had their boarding passes swiped and passports checked there was another half-hour standing wait in a holding area before walking onto the plane! That's maybe the only thing that puts me off taking priority boarding - it doesn't stop you being stuck in the holding area

I flew back from from London to Edinburgh a couple of years ago, and it’s exactly this. I boarded after about half the passengers, the overhead lockers were already getting full. There was the usual people bringing on massive suitcases, suit carriers, laptop bags and bags (saw quite a few with all of those things). With about 25% of the seats left to be filled, the cabin crew had to start stopping everyone else coming on with almost any hand luggage and tell them their bags etc would need to be checked into the hold as there was no storage room left.

That wasn't with BA was it? They have a fairly decent carry-on allowance and aren't that strict compared to some low-cost carriers, BUT, some passengers take liberties. 1 carry-on and one small personal bag soon becomes a case with wheels better suited in the hold and a rucksack/Kipling bag that takes up as much overhead bin space as the regular carry-on.

Pub bouncers.

After the match on Saturday I found myself in Kitty O'Shea's on Frederick St and when I got there it was about 15:20 the bouncer outside said to me, been to the game have we? I said yes and I'm just meeting my mates here to watch the scores come in as well as the national and the Man City game and the bouncer was like thats fine mate.

Inside it was full of Hibbys all having a good time and the heckys at the wheel song was sung a few times and then the bouncers appeared from nowhere grabbing people and threatening to throw people out for singing and it did threaten to get quite ugly until they realised they were vastly outnumbered and backed off.

Now within 10 minutes a CD was put on in the pub of Celtic "party" songs. Here we go again song with the Oh Ahh up the Ra bit as well and there were folk belting it out and not a word was said to them about that. Guess we just supported the wrong team. No need for the reaction from the bouncers in the first place and it would have been their fault entirely if it had kicked off.

This is the song Celtic Symphony with lyrics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddlRl2AetZ4)

I said yes and I'm just meeting my mates here to watch the scores come in as well as the national and the Man City game and the bouncer was like thats fine mate.

Inside it was full of Hibbys all having a good time and the heckys at the wheel song was sung a few times and then the bouncers appeared from nowhere grabbing people and threatening to throw people out for singing and it did threaten to get quite ugly until they realised they were vastly outnumbered and backed off.

Now within 10 minutes a CD was put on in the pub of Celtic "party" songs. Here we go again song with the Oh Ahh up the Ra bit as well and there were folk belting it out and not a word was said to them about that. Guess we just supported the wrong team. No need for the reaction from the bouncers in the first place and it would have been their fault entirely if it had kicked off.

This is the song Celtic Symphony with lyrics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddlRl2AetZ4)

Brutal patter from the bouncers. That boozer has advertising on the west stand I think.

People who post pictures of their hotel bathrooms on social media. Usually followed by a 'looks amazing babe' type comment. Why?

It's some tiles, folded towels and soap in a plastic bottle. Genuinely amazed.
One wonders what their own homes are like if a hotel bathroom is seen as the acme of comfortable living.

Sub-titles on English speaking films or tv and I don’t know how to switch them off. I can’t stop reading them and end up missing the action. Alternatively there’s a telly in my works restaurant and when the sound is turned down on the news channel the sub-titles are 30 seconds behind what’s happening on the screen.

I've had this with hotel room TVs before. If you go into the TV menu, there should be an option to go into Settings (or something similarly-worded) and then Accessibility (or something similarly-worded). There should be an option there to remove the subtitles.

Last couple of times it happened to me it wasn't subtitles, it was where a narrator described the scene in between the characters' dialogue.

This is seemingly quite an unregulated thing at the moment so it is relatively easy to set up a business and do this. Sure I did read somewhere that the government want to tighten it up so that only qualified professionals can do it. At the moment its a license to print money for these private botox nurses.

The regulations must have been relaxed somewhat as I've complained to the council about work going on local to me which I thought needed neighbour consultation first. But was told that there were notifications posted in the local press, some free paper I don't get, and street notices posted. So if you don't see any of the "notices" you are consenting to the development without knowing about it. A get out for the council and the developer.

So I had assumed. It wouldn't have been too much to ask for them to leaflet the few dwellings that overlook the thing, surely?
I suppose I should complain to my local councillor. He happens to be the Provost though so he'll be too busy hobnobbing with the great and good.

You should really use a different part of your body to check the water temperature. ;-)

I think the physics is similar. I used to cold shower before going to work in hot weather and was already sweating before I got dressed again. Whilst talking to a colleague from Tenerife this subject come up and she advised me to try having a hot shower instead and it works a treat. I think it has to do with the hot water widening the capillaries enabling more efficient transfer of heat from the body.

Everything about the BBC iPlayer and online media content. It's infuriating that an organisation with the income they get can't make these things work. Tried to watch Line of Duty on the iPlayer through my TV last night and after four or five failed loads the "this content doesn't appear to be working" message flashed up. So it loaded, played the first few minutes and changed its mind. Did the same with the highlights from the derby just now.

This is after the iPlayer on the TV was out of action for months because of another un-diagnosed issue with hundreds of TV models.

If its true that the BBC want to release all the programmes they've done on the iPlayer and withdraw them from the likes of Netflix then they are really going to have to up their game.

I'm using German Telekom Magenta M which has download speeds of up to 50 MB. This might be slowed down because I've got a separate router attached which allows me to create a VPN tunnel into the UK network. Sometimes at home we've got up to 3 devices steaming simultaneously but rarely have problems. The only problems I've had in the past really, have been with Hibs T.V.

Right, so my problems could be broadband related. But the odd thing is that Netflix and other on-demand player work perfectly despite streaming through the TV in the same way the iPlayer does.

As I understand it, the functionality of iPlayer is so notoriously difficult to upgrade (due to the BBC's public duties and related compatibility issues) that it has fallen far behind rival streaming services. I think BBC and ITV plan to launch a joint streaming venture which isn't bound by the same constraints as iPlayer to compete with Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.

The Mirror doesn't have a Scottish edition in the same way a paper like The Sun does hence it's lack of Scottish coverage. It has the same parent company as the Daily Record and essentially uses that as it's Scottish edition.

Council communication.

My garden waste bins were out in plenty time, I heard the lorry, went out an hour later only to discover they were tagged with labels saying "Sorry we could not empty your bin and generic stuff about it did not meet with council Bin Policy and the less than helpful list of what you can put in and what you can't

My bins contained a lot of weeds, nettle, ground elder, buttercup and couch grass.

So, I phoned for an explanation, eventually got a girl in the call centre, and again they are not going to know why the bins wer not emptied so I suggested a redesign of the label so there was at least an indication of why it had been left. Later that day I got an email explanation, wait for it, "The bin contained contaminated materials -TURF/EARTH"

Now for irony that takes a bit of beating, the garden waste bin was contaminated with waste from the garden. I should point out at this point that it wasn't, there was some soil from the roots of all the weeds,but there was no turf, it was just that I had weeded 2 decent sized vegetable patches.

KillieHibbie if it's in your employee handbook or contract you should take your entitled breaks.

Dog owners who can't control their animals. Make no mistake, this is 100% of them. Get them trained, it's your duty.
In case you are wondering I am severely hacked off with dogs stealing and eating my fishing bait while some clown of an owner repeatedly shouts their name with no effect whatsoever, or even worse, try to lay the blame on me for their mutt being out of control. Don't know which should be put down though - the dog or the owner?

I had an argument with a guy on my way to work a few weeks ago. His dog was off the lead and ran at me aggressively forcing me into the road. When I gave the guy a dirty look, I got a “what’s your problem”. I asked him if he could keep his dog under control and got “I don’t need to keep him under control, quote me the law that says I need to keep it under control, you need to control your emotions”. He was shouting abuse at me for ages after I walked away.

I hate dogs. I hate their owners even more when they assume everyone will love their dog.

[HappyAsHellas]

So many morons with dogs nowadays, especially the fighting breeds. "look at me I'm Hard" mentality. Sooner they're all off the streets the better.

whilst I agree there are many dog owners who aren’t responsible, and I am firmly in the camp of ‘show me a bad dog and I’ll show you a bad dog owner’, to say that there are no responsible owners or all owners who cannot control their dogs is quite ludicrous.

[HappyAsHellas]

I'm perhaps being a little ridiculous but nowhere near as far as you imagine. I have yet to meet a trained dog on a beach. I will further that by adding any beach. I try to go fishing every week and every week I'm on a beach or pier or anywhere I'm likely to encounter a mutt I have to alter my style of fishing and habits in case I get my bait nicked or equipment peed on. It is relentless - hence the statement.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I will be in the minority here as everyone loves dogs except me. The amount of places that are becoming dog friendly is ridiculous. No, I don’t want to have a dog come up to me and jump on me whilst I’m eating or drinking in a cafe, pub, etc.

Quite right too!

[danhibees1875]

That annoys me too. The other thing that they will often do is over-gesticulating with their arms and hands as you’re passing. I’ve been whacked in the face twice this week when passing slow walkers. Still not as bad as the time a guy whacked me with his walking stick on Leith Walk as he was using it to point at something across the road.

:agree: arms everywhere when trying to pass, swinging around like they're practicing for a game of wii bowling.

I'll echo the dog friendly environments comment too. My pet peeve in that genre is when they come up to you and you shoo them away or give their owner a look to get them to and they just reply "he'll not hurt you" as if that makes it all okay.

There's a guy who walks two dogs regularly in Corstorphine cemetery and they are off lead and fouling graves etc. When anyone challenges this they get abuse. When I asked the authorities about it they said they knew the case but could do nothing. This despite a sign at the entrance asking folk to control their animals. Crazy.
The guy's got it coming to him mind!

I'm sorry, I shouldn't but I find that hilarious, but as keen fisherman myself I would be pissed off too. Although if they stole my bait all they would get would be a sore mouth if they tried to chew my flies.

I went to a place called The Stable Bar up behind Mortonhall, the Food I can say was really realy nice for 'pub grub', however it appears this little place is on the route of a popular dog walking path and allows dogs in.

I do not mind Dogs and to be honest a dog friendly pub is fine by me however not when serving food. When I first went in there was none, but by the time I left there was 3 or 4 dogs and when I went to the bar there was 2 that were absolutely stinking. Lucky we had ate already as it would have really put me off. I also seen a big golden retriever walking around the tables and sniffing at a couple who were clearly not the dogs owner and I couldn't believe they didn't say anything, they were trying to eat their lunch ffs with a wet dogs nose sniffing at their legs.

The first time this happened I was on a beach at low tide, digging lugworms and putting them in a bucket. Some mutt comes running over (they all love the smell of lugworms for some obscure reason) dips his head in the bucket and runs off with near all of them. The owner is about ten minutes behind him and thinks saying "oh sorry about that" with a stupid grin on his face makes it alright. Best part of an hour digging wet sand which is quite a strain on the back for me these days, only for some mutt to use it as a snack is somewhat off putting to say the least. Another one stole whole razor clams with the shell still on and crunched his way through them and I've had whole mackerel being devoured as well. I go fishing now and my bait supplies are a like a freaking tupperware advert all spread out on the beach. Bloody dogs, maybe go back to the fly fishing again!

Don't go to Bergamo then! we were over there a little while ago and I've never seen so many dogs in restaurants, all with little jackets on and plenty being fed from their owners plates. These things use their tongues as toilet paper ffs. Should never be near humans eating.

Have you considered putting your bait in a box with a lid?

This thread has gone to the dogs.

[HappyAsHellas]

Yes at times I now have to have certain baits in sealed containers but when you may take five or six different baits it starts to get a bit tedious, not to mention bloody bulky to carry. I'm sort of hoping one of the mutts will consume one of the baits that's been frozen and defrosted several times as I would find it particularly amusing should one of them develop a dose of the squirts on preferably something like a new Persian rug.

I've just had this battle over the last week. For years I've used Mitchum roll on with no nasty odours. For no other reason than it was on promotion, I switched to Bull Dog roll on and within hours I was reeking of BO! Out got to the point I had to shower when I got home and return back to the Mitchum,,,,Bull Dog is in the bin!

I’ve just moved job (within the same organisation) and I’m in a different building. It is the hottest office I’ve ever been in and it absolutely reeks of BO. It is that way when you think it is coming from yourself until you leave the environment and realise it isn’t you.

Folk who think the whole world wants to join in with their idea of fun on public transport.

I ran to Linlithgow last week and just wanted to sit and chill for 20 minutes on the train home. A group of pished middle aged women decided the whole carriage was to join them in singing I will Survive and got passive aggressive with those of us who weren't in the mood to comply on a Sunday afternoon. Similarly a few weeks ago I was on a late train home from Glasgow and some guy started walking about playing an accordion and was trying to order folk to get up and dance and march behind him through the carriage. **** off. I just want to sit and have a blether with my mates and not indulge your pretensions about being a 'character'.

I hate when you get a loaf of bread and one or both of the heel ends are so thick they won't fit in the toaster. A delicate operation is required with a bread knife.
It seems to happen more than it used to.

[overdrive]

Retail outlets that create their own apps where you can pay or collect loyalty points with but that rarely actually work. Caffè Nero and Starbucks are the two offenders I’m thinking of here.

Whilst I’m at it, the Lothian Buses m-tickets app. Takes an age to activate a ticket which pisses off the drivers. So you activate it when the bus is approaching, only for the driver to only allow two passengers on the bus (despite five passengers getting off the bus), so you lose the ticket.

And then if you actually get on the bus but it breaks down, those with paper tickets are allowed on the next bus but those who have paid by m-ticket are not allowed on the next bus as it shows as “expired” and then when you make a complaint to Lothian Buses they just ignore it (this has happened 3 times to me).

It’s really funny watching them get into my taxi. They automatically duck down to get in, but the backpack obviously is still sticking up above their head. They get, but the backpack doesn’t, often resulting in neither ending up in the taxi.

Use a deodorant with anhydrol like pespirex or the like. You’ll probably only need to use it once a month or so then a normal anti perspirant after that...

I used to suffer from occasional under arm hyper hydrosis which was rather embarrassing on occasion. Which despite being a medical condition just made you look like a right sweaty git. Sometimes I could come out the shower clean as, ensure I was nice and cool and put on my normal deo. 5 minutes later the tshirt or whatever could be soaked through under the arms. That stuff fixed the issue no problems as all and really made a huge difference to my life.

Also works for people with sweaty palms etc (all linked to hyper hydrosis).

It's just swamped by insecure men desperate to make sure the whole world knows they don't care, women's football is crap and women are only good for doing the washing, cooking dinners and maybe ****ging every so often.

I wonder if these guys have daughters and whether they would like someone having the same attitude towards them. It's really sad and just screams men who obviously have a complex about their own masculinity.

Fair enough if you don't like or care about women's football but the need to broadcast it every 2 minutes is just pathetic. Sad, sad men.

:agree: It’s just so unnecessary. My daughter plays girls football for hibs and she absolutely loves it the same way that a boy would. There’s obviously a difference in quality by the time that it gets to international level, but that’s obviously going to be the case when you consider that the women haven’t had the full time coaching that the men have. Thankfully attitudes are changing and the quality levels are rising. I don’t know why people can’t just enjoy it for what it is without making pathetic comments about what women should or shouldn’t be doing.

People who state their education was at 'the university of life' or 'the school of hard knocks'.

Profile is almost certain to contain a post/tweet/picture etc with some vague 'common sense' political sentiment; 'This country should be looking after are homeless shoulders and veterinarians rather than giving free benefits to Eskimos and EU immigrants from Somalia. Share if you agree.' Or 'If you don't wear a Poppy then go back to your own country. This country respects freedom and the human rights our boys fought for in WWI #remembering1924-1958'.
