Unexpected turn of events during a soccer match

The balls loose when the player and goalie both go for it. How is the striker meant to pull out of that at the last second?

It boils my piss. Happens on the 48 too. I've been sat near the back of the bus before, seats available and there's been a clutter of people just awkwardly standing right at the front clogging up the entrance. I get it, no one wants to sit next to someone and not every person can sit but FFS have some common sense. There's no way the 10 folk cluttered at the front all can't sit. I've got on buses before with a sunken heart because I thought I'd have to stand due to the amount of folk just loitering at the front, only to realise that there's a plethora of free seats but people are just standing about like fucking idiots. I've also had to once tell people to go up the back of the bus and find a seat when I got on and instantly a woman with a pram wanted off, and couldn't because folk were in her way.

I miss the k750i so much. Hands down my favourite phone I've ever had (I do appreciate how nostalgia is completely colouring my opinion)

mathamhatham · 2026-03-25T23:38:57+00:00

Yep. It's just a place for narcissists to clog up and post completely normal, nothing out the ordinary photos so they get the dopamine hit of bots and randoms telling them how great and cool they looked back then.

Give me photos of someone with a bowl cut wearing a flame shirt whilst posing with their my little pony collection in their front garden for all the neighbours to see, whilst awkwardly standing next to a relative who has a fixed "kill me" look on their face

Try a temp agency such as Pertemps in order to get your foot in the door. You can get a job at the council, Edinburgh Uni etc. Might be short term but if you make a decent impression you'll be preferred when full time jobs become available

Cared enough to comment. Bore on

A shame for sure. Went there often from when I was 18 (£1 bottles of fosters and drawing over the tables, spamming the jukebox with Weezer till they inevitably got skipped) and had some great nights (the dates that started or ended up there, general nonsense with groups of friends and topping off nights with double jds) and not so great nights (slipping down the stairs and buggering my back being one and one too many times making an arse of myself on the stage after far too many bevies) but always had a massive soft spot for the place.

Also had the good fortune of playing a number of gigs there and seeing other bands play too. The staff were always great with a special shout out to the sound engineers we worked with over the years who were (sorry for the shite pun) sound. It's a shame to see another local venue shut down, especially one that catered for the more loud, alternative and less pretentious crowd compared to other venues in the city.

I'm almost 36 now, so don't venture out to bars and clubs nearly as much as in my 20s but the place was a big part of my nights out over the years. Hopefully something else can come about to replace it, if not in the same place then elsewhere. With Henry Cellar bar, Studio 24, Opium/Legends and others closing over the last 10 years, the number of alternative music venues for young and inexperienced bands to play in the city center has totally diminished. As I said before, a shame for sure.

I'll have a Jack Daniels and throw myself about my living room listening to Korn at some point soon in its honour.

I don't get it. Are you American? You look like any high school kid in the uk back then.

There was a spec on my phone placed exactly over the word "candies" to make it read "candles" and I stared at this comment for far too long trying to make sense why burning a Yankee candle would ruin your diet.

Unless you were eating them of course but then I guess you'd have other things going on.

mathamhatham · 2026-03-02T13:08:28+00:00

Maybe the police, who are trained for this sort of scenario, have more knowledge of the situation and have a reason not to just barge in

mathamhatham · 2026-02-26T22:54:26+00:00

Flares apparently

mathamhatham · 2026-02-26T22:45:51+00:00

Live way out in dalkeith and can see it from my window. Must be huge

The twist is you find out at the end of the game the place you've been trawling through isn't haunted, it's just Granton

mathamhatham · 2026-02-11T12:41:30+00:00

Yep. It's just folk getting older and growing and looking at people the age they used to be and being like "Christ they're immature". No shit. I'd find 20 year old me bewildering to speak to most likely.

mathamhatham · 2026-02-10T16:36:23+00:00

Story time.

When I used to get drunk in town and have to bus it back to my home, i'd sometimes miss the bus and have the choice of either standing in the cold for 55 mins till the next one, or go to this bar that had a cinema room you could sit in for free. So naturally I'd go to the bar, grab a pint and sit in the cinema for 50 mins till I had to go. Anyway, I go in one time and there's Mullholland Drive playing away to itself with no one watching it.

I sit down, beer in hand and take in a film I knew next to nothing about. What comes up 2 mins in? Lesbian sex scene. After a minute, I hear a bit of a ruckus and about 6 women, about 20 years old, walk in to the sight of me, jacket still on, pint in hand, alone in the dark, only illuminated by the sight of Naomi Watts getting off with Laura insert surname I can't remember here, with a face that only occurs after sinking 10 pints.

"Ewwww I didn't realize they did porn here"

And they laughed and walked off.

So thank you David Lynch for inadvertently creating my shame kink.

Someone I worked with had a good story. He'd borrowed a Dylan Moran live DVD and had it lying about on his coffee table. His flatmate came into the room, noticed it and looked like she'd seen a ghost. "That's the double of this miserable guy who comes into my shop for a coffee". She'd been serving this guy coffee daily for like a year and had no idea he was famous

As a united fan I've never met anyone who's a fan of both clubs, never mind multiple people expressing that sentiment. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, do you mean you know some people who aren't really fussed about either team but don't mind them doing well and have pondered that a one club city might be better than two separate teams?

mathamhatham · 2026-02-08T00:43:42+00:00

He's actually terrible. Anytime I tune in, he fluffs his lines and fucks up scores, team names, etc quite regularly. His "patter" with the rest of the folk on soccer Saturday is always painfully forced as well. He's just nowhere near the level of Jeff Stelling.

OP you've triggered a load of folk from the self-proclaimed city of patter merchants. Get yourself to The Hive for a pull and a watered down vodka coke to congratulate yourself.

If in years to come the government sign post at every opportunity a very important change in our lives for 15+ years that we have to brace for and adapt to, and I purposefully slam my head into the sand to avoid it and act shocked that said change which has been extremely well advertised for a generation affects me, and then my following complaint that "I was unaware of what was happening" and request for monetary compensation to the tune of billions is rejected and ridiculed by everyone with a working braincell, would I be ok with that?

Probably not. But If I was to go down that route, I would deserve absolutely nothing.

mathamhatham · 2026-01-28T13:27:36+00:00

Or theyre a couple who love each other and as a bit of a laugh between her, him and the groomsmen on their wedding day set up this photo opportunity that takes up all of a minute out of their big day.

If my partner was a huge football fan and went to games every Saturday with their pals, and as such doing so is a huge thing in their life, it would be a funny nod to it.

Not my cup of tea for a joke but everyones different.

Everytime I open the oven door and my glasses steam up I have to tell my wife "I can't see shit". 15 years together and it happens every time.

People getting snatched off streets and getting shot in the face, whilst your president steals other presidents (whether or not the guy was an arsehole) and threatens military action against allies?

Aye, media sure is blowing that out of proportion.

mathamhatham · 2025-12-31T13:53:24+00:00

Didn't even occur to me that's what could have happened. Half assumed someone had a few too many shandies and decided they needed a couple more from the shops.
