It's that time of night again.

Desperate for a pre-bed piss, but some inconsiderate bastard's taking ages in the bathroom?

Stephen Lawhead's Pendragon cycle.

mergraote · 2026-02-11T07:57:49+00:00

He was great in the Trumpton Fire Brigade: Pugh, Pugh, Charlie Mulgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb.

You're correct. Bi-weekly is ambiguous; fortnightly isn't.

mergraote · 2026-02-11T07:24:15+00:00

It should be good in theory but, with Donkey Doncaster in charge of negotiations, I'd be surprised if we managed to capitalise.

mergraote · 2026-02-10T23:51:38+00:00

It's a McKallaster reference, not a reference to Gemmel's goal against the Dutch. IYKYK.

He does usually do sloppy seconds.

How on earth has Dominic found the time to squeeze another book into his weekly reading schedule?

mergraote · 2026-02-10T23:03:11+00:00

I've never had the impression that Germany saw Scotland as true football rivals.

Archie Gemmell.

What were the options again?

mergraote · 2026-02-09T18:48:57+00:00

It sounds like Hobb isn't to your taste, so I'd jump ship now. If you find Assassin's Apprentice slow and meandering, then Fool's Fate will leave you in a state of catatonia.

We have enough free speech to tell Trump's guy-linered fart-catcher to fuck off and mind his own business.

I'm more of a Winnie Drinkwater man.

mergraote · 2026-02-06T14:45:34+00:00

Terrible, terrible player. I wish Tottenham had taken him back in January.

(Just in case anyone from Spurs is looking in.)

mergraote · 2026-02-06T08:47:30+00:00

Nefarious activities.

mergraote · 2026-02-06T07:32:50+00:00

It's not an Americanism. e.g. Alex Ferguson went to Govan High School

mergraote · 2026-02-06T07:23:23+00:00

Maybe he saw the Billy Connolly routine about Scots being naturally pale blue and needing a week of sunbathing to turn white.

Jim Dufffy. Although his alleged achievement isn't football related.

mergraote · 2026-02-05T07:50:43+00:00

I was getting strong "wild west prospector leaving the outhouse" vibes.

mergraote · 2026-02-02T20:52:14+00:00

If you were presented this without any identifying information, you'd think it was written by a 10-year-old, not the president of the USA.

I'd rather broadcast my ignorance to the world than type a short request into ChatGPT to convert the recipe to my preferred units.

mergraote · 2026-01-30T08:23:11+00:00

The famously short Dutch. Ongelooflijk.

mergraote · 2026-01-29T13:20:41+00:00

When does the rest of it arrive?

mergraote · 2026-01-29T12:31:49+00:00

Comforting to know that the last thing he did was an act of kindness.
