Tuna mayo tastes better when you use salad cream instead of mayo, that’s an absolute fact (probably a lot worse for your body, though)

You definitely are, worse things to be addicted though mind. I like a cold can of irn bru about 10am each morning to give me a shake, doesn’t work quite as well now they’ve changed the recipe though

Fair enough mate, it’s definitely a better vice to have than many others imo. Can’t stomach coffee myself but my mrs loves it, tries all the different variants from different countries etc. I like all different kinds of beer and trying them all so I can understand it.

Start holidaying in areas that are usually frequented by German and Dutch holidaymakers instead, that’s what I’ve started doing in recent years and it’s been great to escape the flock of England, Celtic and Rangers tops binging lager and chips at 2pm every day. Also when they’re talking too loud they can’t actually annoy me too much because I don’t understand German very well or Dutch at all, they might be saying ridiculously stupid things but I’m none the wiser, good for my blood pressure.

You rarely see an adult in a really big teams top. You'll get bairns in Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd, Liverpool etc tops. With adults though it's always Celtic and Rangers (away tops if you are going somewhere fancy for dinner) and absolute no mark English teams like Barnsley, Rotherham and Macclesfield. Flags draped over balconies as well 'Baggies on tour'.

Remember staying opposite a Rangers bar in Turkey a few years back. Boys swaggering about in the same orange away top for 2 weeks who have dropped a couple of grand to go on holiday to the Loudoun Tavern.

I've got a mate, nice lad, good dad to his daughter etc etc and yet for some reason, they go en famille to Tenerife or similar every summer (fair enough) but as far as I can tell, with the exception of a couple of nights, wears a Celtic top and sometimes shorts the whole time.

Bizarre behaviour. I personally find that Celtic tops are a bit more omnipresent especially in places you wouldn't expect to see either like here in Zurich.

The faster you try to complete certain tasks, the longer they'll take (e.g., untangling wired headphones).

The quieter you try to do something, the louder the noise you eventually make will be (e.g., trying to quietly navigate your way to the toilet in the middle of the night when you're staying with other people).

When the cockneys and Essex mob arrive in any holiday resort the noise goes up a few decibels. A week or so of peace, background chatter and just people having a good time with Scots, Geordies, scousers, mancs etc all getting along nicely.

A Gatwick flight must have arrived yesterday as for the last 2 days the cast of EastEnders is bellowing at each other. Not the 1st time I have experienced this either.

I was up early as I am every day, an hour on the sun lounger with my book before the family rise. Guy next to me spots his mate on the other side of the pool and they proceed to scream at the top of their voices at each other:

MAWNING MATE

TOP MAN, TOP MAN
WHAT YOU DO FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT
LOVELY FISH AND CHIPS AT THAT PLACE ROUND THE CORNER
NICE ONE. WHAT TIMES THE OLD LADY COMING DOWN?

He then walks round the pool and they stand next to each other, still shouting admittedly but not as bad. A whole conversation that must have woken half the complex when they then sat on their erses next to each other for the next 6 hours.

My hibs towel and my neck to toes hibs tattoos were a magnet too them 🤣 in fairness they were actually sound and surprisingly not obnoxious in any way, like us they were there to enjoy their holiday

On the other hand on a more recent holiday I noticed a guy eying up my tattoos from a sun lounger beside mines, turned out he was former the rangers head of security and former Glasgow Police Superintendent Kenny Scott, guy was a ****ing typical the rangers bore and conversation was quickly reduced to a mere nod as the days went by 🤮

Husband refusing to do anything whatsoever, the wife screaming at him for not helping, him screaming back that he can’t go on the sand/go in the water cause he’s in trainers and it’s her fault for bad planning. Then the kids are away to the water about 20 feet away and the women is screaming at the kids to get back beside her because “you can’t trust Europeans”.

It's American season in Berlin at the moment. I work around the tourist town centre and am normally surrounded by them during my lunch break. Yesterday as I was waiting for my order a young girl of around 13 came in to ask the staff if they could open a parasol outside for her family but couldn't make herself understood so I translated for her. When I went outside she was stood around a table with her family waiting for the parasol to be opened so I sat down at the next table that was in the shade but still had to be cleared from the last customer. All of a sudden the mother started hurling abuse at me for being a rude German because I took the last table in the shade and she stormed off dragging her family with her without giving me any chance to explain. The apologetic look off embarrassment from the daughter and father told me all I needed to know about mum. Some people just need to get their anger out and really don't care who is on the receiving end. **** em.

When the cockneys and Essex mob arrive in any holiday resort the noise goes up a few decibels. A week or so of peace, background chatter and just people having a good time with Scots, Geordies, scousers, mancs etc all getting along nicely.

A Gatwick flight must have arrived yesterday as for the last 2 days the cast of EastEnders is bellowing at each other. Not the 1st time I have experienced this either.

I was up early as I am every day, an hour on the sun lounger with my book before the family rise. Guy next to me spots his mate on the other side of the pool and they proceed to scream at the top of their voices at each other:

MAWNING MATE
MAWNING
'OW'S IT GOING
NOT BAD MATE, NOT BAD
GOT YOU 2 LOUNGERS ROUND ERE
TOP MAN, TOP MAN
WHAT YOU DO FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT
LOVELY FISH AND CHIPS AT THAT PLACE ROUND THE CORNER
NICE ONE. WHAT TIMES THE OLD LADY COMING DOWN?
SHE'LL BE ROUND NOW

He then walks round the pool and they stand next to each other, still shouting admittedly but not as bad. A whole conversation that must have woken half the complex when they then sat on their erses next to each other for the next 6 hours.


Ive found weegies to be guilty of this exact behaviour on a few occasions.

Its as if they want the whole resort to know - usually on day one - that theyre 'glesga' and, of course, 'have the patter byrawaybigman'. :rolleyes:

You can’t smell your own toast but can always smell someone else’s.

If you can’t find something as it’s not in its normal place and the wife says she hasn’t used it, she’s lying.

Think the technical term for this might be 'call and response'.
Loudperson 1: SQUAWK SQUAWK
Loudperson 2: SQUAWK
Then L1 and L2 get intimate.

Squawk would be an apt description.

My experience is that celtc fans are worse on holiday, which takes some doing. More than a few times Ive seen some unsuspecting Brummie or Dutch bloke get cornered by a cretin proceeding to bore his ear off about 'the cellic story, paradise, seville, best fans in the world, everyone loves us' etc. etc. That sets up a hounding for the rest of the holiday

Of course initially, the Victim loves it and wants to chat with the Scottish fan - then quickly realise their error and have to plan the escape :wink:

Celtic fan sees Liverpool fan on holiday, immediately thinks there’s a bond and starts the chat only to be told by Liverpool fan that he is a Hibs ST holder and ****** hates Celtic……conversation stops.
