This pans out . . .

This is the kind of misinformation on the internet that I can get behind.

Bunker mentality

A variation on an old joke.

Sweets Memory

 

Don't forget those bastard Texan bars. They could extract (not so) precious metals from places where they should never have been extracted. IYKYK . . . fuck that, OIKWH.

I'm Chering this . . .

I laughed.

Maybe they should change their name to Hearts of Mitteleuropa?

Spot the pun, peeps? No truth in the rumour that Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves is a reference to the Hearts ultras.

Yep, posted on Twitter, but spotted on Facebook. Twitter is not my thing these days. It hasn't an unpleasant musk surrounding it. 

'Can you give me a five star rating?'

I won't lie. This brilliant joke that I found on Facebook hits a bit too close to the bone.

You just can't help yourself.

Salty but funny . . .

Should I be laughing? I still wish it was the third of December.

Houchenesque

 Sometimes the Zuck comes up Trumps . . . as opposed to him usually kissing Trump's arse. 

"Ronnie Clayton heading Blackburn Rovers' 78th-minute equaliser against Liverpool, FA Cup 6th Round, 1 March 1958. Ally MacLeod scored Rovers' winner a few minutes later. Crowd of 51,000 in Ewood Park."

I love a diving header. We all do. You look at the photograph, and you'd think Clayton was doing that every other week but it turns out that he scored less than 20 goals in a full and successful career. 

Put down your my phone . . .

I like this

Just found  . . . just posted.

Viz like

 I'm easily amused.

This is probably the first and last time Tolkein ever gets mentioned on this blog.

A Bryan Cranston meme which doesn't include the words 'Witness Protection Program' . . .

I could never get past season 2 of Breaking Bad . . .  and, trust me, I tried.

I could binge watch Malcolm in the Middle all day. Any season.

Carlin comes up trumps

File under the good stuff you find on Facebook.

“It's the old American double standard.

Say one thing, do something different. And, of course, the country is founded on the double standard. That's our history. This country was founded on a very basic double standard. This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free…”

[laughter and applause]

~George Carlin, from ‘What Am I Doing in New Jersey?’ (TV Special 1988)

Guilty as charged

It's a fair cop. I am that scumbag.

In mitigation, they weren't my text books. I was doing it for someone else.

I laughed . . .

 . . . but felt a bit guilty afterwards.

Photoshop delivers the goods . . . and Celtic wins the cup. Business as usual.

And they will be greeting. It's the hope that ki . . . oh, I forgot, they died in 2012.

 

 

* The context of this pic is that some R*ngers Ultras recently produced a banner with a reworking of Trump's infamous campaign slogan. Photoshop did the rest.

The Good Stuff you find in drafts . . . .

 Luke should have stuck with that Darts shirt.

The Will to Selfie . . .

I am filing this under 'The Good Stuff you find on Facebook', but he still has a lot to answer for.

Blurb from Facebook:

"In 1839, Robert Cornelius sat for 15 minutes in front of a hand-built camera made of opera glass and sheets of copper. His picture became the first “selfie” ever taken."

Cue Ninety-Minute-Nationalism . . .

I fear the worst . . . I fear the worst many times over . . . different permutations . . . Hungary finally turns up in the tournament and humps Scotland . . . Scotland play out of their skins, beat the not so mighty Magyars, and still don't go through to the knockout stages 'cos of that massacre in the opening game against Germany.

Anyway, that's enough about me and my doom laden nature. Back to the good stuff that you find on Facebook. The pic below is the front page from a 1954 football programme, advertising a friendly between Scotland and the brilliant Hungarian team from that period. Were the Mighty Magyars the best team never to win the World Cup? (Some say they were robbed through nefarious means.) As much as I love the Dutch team from the 70s and the French and Brazilian teams from '82, I think it's fair to say that a team that included Puskas, Czibor, Kocsis and Hidegkuti were head and shoulders of their contemporaries, and the fallout from the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 means that Hungarian team is one of those 'might have beens'.

PS - And what was the result back in '54? Cue the Lost Glasgow account from Facebook which provides us with the information:

"Scotland lost 2-4, but it was like a victory, because England had lost to Hungary twice by much larger margins, 3-6, and 1-7."

Scotland   . . . Scotland fans . . . never change.

PPS - More info on the '54 game.

. . . 13 minutes and counting to D-Day.

A walk on the mild side.
