18 months since Pet Peeves III. The fitba' season's over so here's PP-IV prescribed as a wee bit therapy for us moaners until the new season starts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate when temporary roadwork signs are left up when they are not...
Seen this on a few forums, usually a laugh, apologies if it's already been done on here. Post the first word that comes into your head after reading the previous post. I'll start it off. Hibs
Feels like there's one every week, so thought it might be an idea to have the one thread 🤔 This week it's David Crosby. Eight miles high now.
I know, not a very exciting subject, but then I'm not a very exciting person. Anyway, I'm growing tomatoes in my conservatory for the umpteenth year and this year I'm getting white spots on the leaves, unlike any I've seen before. They don't rub off, so presumably not mould or fungus - does...
Planning on booking lessons. About as far away from a piston/petrolhead that you can be. Something I’ve always wanted to do though. Any advice on lessons and purchasing a bike? Initial test looks to have you at a lower CC, have been gradually sat other training/tests or can you try jump tiers...
Everyone knows the advert with Frankie Miller/Dougie McLean Caledonia and the laddie coming back from London to have a wee red T. What is the pub? I'm positive it was Bianco's at the west end (now angel share), my mate is convinced it's Malones in Leith. Any input?
HOLIDAY PET PEEVES On holiday just now in Majorca and the Mrs thinks I am turning into Victor Meldrew and that I am going to explode any minute and start WW3 over a triviality Anyway the €46 per couple Tourist Tax I can understand as there does seem to be a lot of building work going on to...
I got a massive dislike for the domino pizza one where the couple sitting in the bath and the pizza guy appears .. awful advert 😡.
Not seen a thread like this for a while, so what gigs are people going to in the near future? I am just starting this as I suddenly have a load of gigs to go to that have only materialised over the last 6 weeks or so :greengrin Tomorrow - The Bootleg Beatles, Wellington Nov 10 - Coldplay,...
Anyone on here done it? I'm booked up to attempt it in September over 7 days with the Missus. She's done it twice before but will be my first. Not camping booked accommodation along the route and using a bag transfer company Would love to hear about other experiences of it.
I’m on holiday in turkey and there’s a guy that goes around in roller skates taking orders for drinks and handing out ice lollies. I could easygo and order this myself, but it makes me happy when the guy comes round in his roller skates. What are the little things in life that make you happy.
Following on from the recent restaurant reviews thread and a video I saw earlier of a guy from a YouTube page called ‘Topjaw’ interviewing an Edinburgh chef.. What’s everybody's.. Best restaurant in Edinburgh - Rollo Best value restaurant in Edinburgh - Chez Jules Most overrated restaurant...
Anyone else have these problems? My old man is from the old brigade who thinks pull yourself together is the answer. Never used to be like this and time in the army hasn't helped. However, I'm not afraid to admit things and feel no stigma in being affected by this. Just wondering if other...

I'm hearing that the prices are very decent, great to hear. £2.80 Strongbow, that'll do me 🍺
This is a game I got from another forum. I start by saying something say:What is life And then the next poster makes an acroynym out of last word of my sentence in response say:Life is for elephants (but hopefully better:greengrin)
Does anyone know if taxis can drop off on Waverley Bridge - or do you have to drop at Market Street or Calton Road entrances instead. Trying to avoid using lifts/steps with 4 suitcases if possible
At the request of Alfiembra, here's the Driving Pet Peeve thread for frustrated motorists. So, to kick it off....... When you are just about to get into your car in a car park some Dumbo decides to draw in tight alongside your driver's door despite there being empty spaces everywhere around....

With the exception of admins, the last person to post on this thread is the all time greatest Hibs fan. Childish I know but what the hell :devil: Me
Share your favourites here! Really interesting one I started this morning called Sergei & The Westminster Spy Ring. Carole Cadwalladr and Peter Jukes from the Byline Times. My long term listens are obviously Longbangers and DTS, but also We Have Ways of Making You Talk which is a Second...
https://youtu.be/v6Ytde6tmkQ Hugely unsuccessful band but massively influential. I hear shoe-gaze, grunge, slocore and there's probably a few more micro genres in there too. Great to learn to play to. Sent from my SM-A528B using Tapatalk
always had a soft spot for, I guess what you would call educational(?), jokes. Jokes to do with maths and the likes. best two I've heard recently My dad once told me i had a lot of potential, right before he pushed me off the balcony. & (not so much a joke, but I like it)
Anything you like. Can be classic, soundtrack, anything you fancy but would like some context as to why. Gortoz A Run from Blackhawk Down is CHILLING. My grandad passed away in April, and Honour, from the miniseries The Pacific was a tune he loved. Ludivico Einudi tracks can mostly be...
I don’t see a film thread on the front page. Seeing as I’ve been watching more this last wee while, thought I’d start a thread for sharing recent watches, whether the films are new releases, old classics and everything in between. I’ll kick off with ‘A star is born’ which I watched on Amazon...
I have resolved to watch more documentaries during lockdown, so I'm looking for some recommendations. Watched the Console Wars (Nintendo v Sega) and Apollo 11 on Sky Documentaries over the last couple of days.
Looking to buy a brand new massive big TV ..85 inch to 100 inch and i'm aware how expensive they are as just had a look :greengrin Had the same LG 42 inch tv for over 10 years and it's still going strong but i think now is the time to upgrade, I want the whole surround system speakers feel like...
Hi, I'm taking my daughter to Lana del Rey at Hampden next week and was looking for any recommendations for where to park close by that is safe and free ideally. It's been years since I drove for a game there and returned to smashed windows. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍
My current data provider is ridiculously expensive when going off the roaming grid, as are they all I think! I used to use a wee burner phone and hot-spot from it when in these countries but I see the growth of the eSIM market. It's so recent even Martin Lewis is looking for information before...
Summer holiday if we're lucky. Heading to Croatia ahead of the European ties and hoping for a decent draw for a football away trip or two. If you could go anywhere where would you go for Summer? Always looking for ideas for the future- love Croatia and delighted to be heading back
Noticed a few on the pet peeves thread but didnt want to derail it so I will start with this one, I am a prankster 😄 Many years ago we had a new colleague starting with us, great guy and great at his work but as thick as a brick. We had a large tv in our howf which was boxed in and no access...
Have been watching some chess videos on YouTube recently, seen one this morning with someone playing Eze at the palace training ground, i did enjoy playing it at school when i was younger. Really amazing watching people play blitz and the game in general with the strategy etc, i honestly don't...
Went to the game today with a friend from France, who used to work at the Institute on George IV Bridge. He was keen to pop in to see a couple of his old colleagues so we had a wee stroll across the Meadows, stopping in for a pint at Doctor's on Forrest Road. He said to me the city seemed very...

When I look at old pics of male relatives on both sides of my family and see the number of bald heads on show I realise I was fortunate to inherit whatever gene my dad possesses which has enabled me to hold on to my hair well into middle age. Some thinning starting to creep in now but I can live...
Off to Vilamoura for a week next week. Never been before but looks really nice. Anyone been before and have any recommendations? Just me and the wife going, we like all kinds of food really, usually like some seafood on holiday. Any wee trips worth doing?
It’s almost an unspoken thing amongst us men and women, but I’m guessing that at some point in time we’re all struggling to lose weight. I started my diet this week after weighing myself. I was 17st and I’m only 5ft8. Shocking stuff, but I’m sure that we can inspire each other to better things.
Have external walls to retaining paint - tried rollers and brush but still not happy with the finish as it doesn’t get into the block holes (thinks that’s the technical term ;)) Any recommendations.? Going forward welll have gate and fencing to paint in addition to the retaining wall and the...
