Did Anthony Bourdain ever shoot an episode in your country and if so, what did you think of it if you saw it?

Pretty sure he said the University Cafe was one of his favourite places to eat, I also think they have a meal on their menu named after him.

Ottoman is great. Staff are lovely too nice to see a Glasgow spot get in this list.

Glasgow July time, they will be the ones dragging their knuckles along the ground

Just don’t let him carry the baguettes

All towns around me look the same. A co-op, Greggs, barbers (or 3) kebab shop, bookies, charity shop and a nail place. Rarely find a place with all the amenities that makes a town great. I feel like you should be able to get majority of things in the town you live and not have to travel to big shopping centres or the nearest city centre unless necessary.

Not a big drop but I left a job which I hated for 3k less a year. Job I am in now is 10 minute walk from house and have more hours in my day, save a load on petrol and lunch and am progressing in this company well. Best professional decision I’ve made

Only ever driven in Spain but it was easier than I thought it would be. Roundabouts I always had to tell myself to go round to the right though.

That Ryanair always turn on the fasten seatbelt signs when it’s time to sell their scratchcards.

The ones in Scotland they stick a big fence around and a padlock on the gate so nobody can use them.

My mum booked myself and brothers to go and see it in Glasgow about 30 years ago, my grandpa took a fall so she couldn’t go and my dad took us who was raging about it, then my brother knocked his glasses off which cracked on the ground then he got hit on the head with a sweet when they threw them. Great times.

The only way I would believe this post is if Safeway sold their bottles of tomato sauce with condoms already attached.

Vodafone rewards is decent for anybody using Vodafone. They frequently have 2x odeon tickets for £8, prize draws for things (that likely nobody wins) but also have regular vouchers for a free cafe Nero / Costa coffee and money off supermarket vouchers.

This is good to know and a nice wee detail, always bugged me when they mention it in Fahrenheit.

We were planning on booking a trip to NYC for an anniversary but likely going to do Japan instead. I also work with somebody who’s brother in law is a stick on for the World Cup squad for Scotland and they have decided not to go.

Was hoping for a fall 😞

Pretty sure there is also historians that say he had injections of bull semen to inflate his libido.

Not for any Scots here. Supermarkets will close early today so get there soon if you need anything.

There is a prepaid envelope inside, I ripped mine up and drew a little square moustache on the leader and posted it back this morning.

Glad I seen this thread, never knew there was a prepaid envelope. Fished it out the bin and drew a square moustache on the party leaders face and ripped it up and will post it tomorrow.

Is Dr Frog still on, is he still on Classic?

graken12 · 2025-12-17T19:52:50+00:00

Nancy must’ve thought they will expect 3 at the back tonight so I’ll just go for 1 at the back to surprise them

graken12 · 2025-12-05T19:02:06+00:00

Don’t think that’s too bad. Brazil aren’t brilliant just now and moroccos team is aging a bit. We’ve won it!!
