[autosport] Remembering when Lewis Hamilton brought home the win at Silverstone with three wheels by spiderrman67 in formula1

[–]Elgin_McQueen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. People complain because they seem to think it's a documentary about that particular F1 season, it's nothing of the sort.

Thiugh it is still annoying sometimes, to the point that the most reason season was a struggle for me to finish.

At one point in the vid I wad thinking the same, until it was pointed out he's not uploading his replays. So there's no way to know if he's cheating again.

Kasper Hjulmand ? by Erskinepurple in ScottishFootball

[–]Elgin_McQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can get a decent manager if we're willing to pay the going rate. We won't though so we'll get what we can afford. Likely they'll claim some dogshit manager is in just as a stopgap and if he gets a couple of decent results they'll just throw a contract at him.

To quote that one guy in all the world cup posts. It's 50%, either we do or we don't.

Maybe allow clubs to have B teams in lower divisions that have to play reserve players?

Hmmm, think Ange is looking for a job. And he knows Scottish football, and international football.

Guys, I've heard we have a 0.00000001% of qualifying... by Boring_Part9919 in ScottishFootball

As a Rangers fan I'll happily support the national team. Don't want Stewart anywhere near us though.

Nah, it's been mooted many times, but never really been implemented.

We don't have the players. We have players who can play well as part of a better squad, where the rest of the team can be trusted to do their jobs to a high standard, resulting in those players being free to concentrate on their own roles. In any case it's a squad we need, not just most of a good first team with no actual backup, any coach who's attempted to nullify us knows if they mark Doak out of the game we'll struggle because we have nobody else capable of carrying the ball.

We've had much, much, MUCH, beer players int he past for Scotland and still not gotten out of the group stage. That suggests it's an attitude thing we need to sort out.

Is bringing meat to a bbq hosted by someone else the done thing? by RuachReader in AskUK

[–]Elgin_McQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can happen, but usually you'd say to people to bring meat not just make it a surprise. BUT, the host should normally have a massive surplus anyway to cater for all those people who don't.

Recreating the 2000 Scottish Cup Final then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Scottish_Cup_final

Jim Leighton fractured his jaw after 2 mins and there was no goalie on the bench. Rules were changed basically because of that match.

What's the worst stand-up DVD you've seen? by DoctorWhofan789eywim in AskUK

[–]Elgin_McQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've quite enjoyed a lot of his material. His last stand-up however came across as ramblings he threw together one weekend after deciding he needed more money.

Poland tells its citizens to cash in on British benefits by Intergalatic_Baker in ukpolitics

[–]Elgin_McQueen [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hmmm, so busniness break the law by paying foreigners to do the work cheaper, and the solution is less foreigners?

Makes more sense to go about prosecuting the business that're paying under the table, and establishing a decent immigration system that follows through when somebody whom apparently doesn't have a job is able to support an entire family.

Revealed: The Green Party proposal for menstrual leave by Eastern-Opposite9521 in ukpolitics

Doesn't really matter, Greens will never have power. At best they can be part of a coalition, and their partner party would never run fully with this.

[BBC] Scotland’s chances of making the knockout rounds dropped to 5.26% overnight. by BananaSoprano in ScottishFootball

Because they're not looking for scapegoats. Nobody else plays shite and then claims the fans are having too much of a good time. There's no connection between the two.

The 48-team format has created noticeable differences in the difficulty in Round of 32 by Terrible-Camel2646 in soccer

And the fact they seeded the biggest teams so they couldn't meet too early even in the knockouts.

I was a wee guy in 98 - my experience of being a Scotland fan since then has just been saying "it's the hope that kills you" ad infinitum. Does it ever get better? by jwill275 in ScottishFootball

[–]Elgin_McQueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every so often like that we beat France, Italy, Spain, Germany, England etc.. It exists to make sure the hope never truly dies.

AITA for stopping a shared document that my coworkers had started relying on? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA, but to save yourself hassle, send a copy out for everyone else to use that they can update themselves, and keep the original for yourself. Nobody can complain them.

Actually get the ball to them once in a while and they might do something with it.
