I feel there's no need to explain why that's so cringeworthy.
It's quite sad if the pet is a child substitute. But sickening too.Quote:

Drinking games. What’s the point, unless you’re a teenaged girl?
In my experience: they’re not fun or funny. The whole “drink two fingers thing” means you’re drinking less than if you were just sitting enjoying your drink as normal. And the objective of the game (to get you pished) is what will happen if you just sit and drink with your mates anyway.
Or then there’s the ones where there’s one minging drink for someone to down at the end of each round, where inevitably the loud mouths and bullies of the group will ensure one person gets absolutely slaughtered.
Give me sitting arguing endlessly about stupid topics any day of the week, while I enjoy my bevy.
Folk have died because of those idiotic drinking 'games'. :crazy:Quote:

"The shop shuts at 9 but" ... I don't know when it started and I don't know why it started, but it confuses the heck out of me.
In hindsight, there were a lot of but's in that post.
My in laws from Coatbridge use this a lot. It's the Lanarkshire equivalent of Edinburghers using the word eh. Whilst some weegies add sure at the end of their sentences.Quote:

You get this a lot in the German language in some regional dialects. In the south west they end their sentences with "gell", in the north west with "nah" and in the Prussian heartlands with "wa". It does my head in because it makes everything sound like a question.Quote:

Shift the "But" to the start of the sentence and it makes perfect sense, but.Quote:

Agreed. It’s getting to the point where it’s ruining Hibs.net because of how frequent it is. A few of them are fine, but the thread about Dylan is mostly 3 pages full of puns. I opened it to read what was happening with him and got fed up of reading it.Quote:

Anymore - thread killer.

More specifically the ones that have taken to sitting directly outside Scotmid doors.
I noticed today that the guy I've seen sitting on Easter Road a lot was sitting at the one at Roseburn, are they all organised together I wonder?

Probably the same types who come out with "Hey Dude".
Is it just Scottish people who say it that annoy you? It's a word that had come into the English language and is used to describe a good time or good fun. A bit like restaurant, cafe, cul-de-sac, garage, patio etc etcQuote:

I love a bit of banter about football but there's a line that some people seem oblivious to. My partner is English and I've heard some of the ***** aimed at her when football is involved, including sadly at a Hibs game. Inevitably it tends to be when drink is involved.Quote:

My biggest problem with the whole England Scotland thing is that we aren't good enough at taking what we dish out ourselves, and we can't understand how hypocritical 99% of the stuff we say is.
Not sure what relevance that has to my experience to be honest. Pretty sure there will be plenty of banter without any malice from your comrades in arms. I have been the only Englishman in plenty of similar work related positions it doesn't compare to what I described, the banter from work colleagues is great.Quote:

Can't remember the amount of times I had to physically defend myself after being assaulted for the heinous crime of being Scottish.Quote:

That sounds pretty horrendous, I certainly wasn't suggesting that Scots are the only aggressors that can take this form particularly when alcohol and football is involved.Quote:

I didn't think for a moment you were Scouse and I only added my experience for balance. My experience wasn't just a bigot thing, there was probably a cap badge element to it too. People can be right dicks when they're in a group and feel untouchable.Quote:

Similar to this; the wee folds on packets of bacon, ham etc that are supposed to open the whole packet when you pull it but in reality just take the full outside rim of the packaging off so you need to get wired in with a knife or scissors to actually open the packet.Quote:
