The Play on One: Normal Service (1988)

 

Another one of those catching up posts

 Actually posted on a cold, gloomy September day . . . with added family drama. Fun, fun, fun.

A walk on the mild side.

Nicked from Facebook.

 That's the picture. Wonderful. 🍀🍀🍀

Celtic 1 R*ngers 0  A double to end the season. 

A shit game, a disallowed Rangers goal and a 90th minute winner?

Absolutely-fucking-perfect cup final.

"Tell me the worst, Doctor, can they be saved?"

 Shit, I was hoping to get another 10 days out of those flights. 

It's annoying 'cos those particular flights are my flights of choice as well, and I'm all out of them. I like the colour scheme. It reveals my inexplicable soft spot for the Uruguayan football team, Penarol. Why Penarol? I don't have a scooby. If pushed on the matter, I'll claim it's 'cos they were Eduardo Galeano's football team. (I have no idea. I'm bluffing.)

As I've been known to associate with people who aren't up to speed with their knowledge of South American football, they've mistaken my penchant for the flights for a secret crush on Randite Libertarian politics. Apparently those are the colours of the right-wing fucknuts otherwise known as the Libertarian Party in the US of A. I can't win . . . which ties in with my inability to win at darts against the Level 9 Russ Bray app. It's all connected people, all part of the same golden thread . . . okay, I think I have to lie down now.

***Update***

It turns out that if you change your flights it helps with your aim. Who knew? 

First three darts after replacing my flights.

"Print that fucking headline . . . "

I love this headline from the BBC Football page. Of course, it's obvious . . . it doesn't matter. Sometimes the obvious gag/headline is the right one.

I'm posting it now  . . . just in case Atalanta do a number on Leverkusen tonight. I hope not.

Look man, I fucking jinxed them.

Brassic (2019)

 

Get off the internet . . .

I keep scoring with the word 'taig' in Lexulous.

I think I've been around Rangers social media a bit too much these last few days . . .  

Teenagers . . . the Gobshite Years

A shitty morning looks a wee bit brighter after hitting a 180 before taking the wee yin to school.

'More Songs About Dumbarton and Renton . . .'

On this day in 1952 David Byrne was born, and on this day  . . . for the thousandth time . . .  I say to Kara, 'Did you know that he's Scottish? ' . . . and, for the thousandth time, Kara rolls her eyes.
