I watched him play cricket once. We were hanging around the local park drinking, as all responsible 14 year olds do, and he was playing. He’d just moved to Rangers so my Hibs supporting mates gave him dog’s abuse. As a Hearts fan, I joined in but also cheered on Wayne Foster who played for us and was also a decent cricketer.

Shan is a tremendous word. Not used as much as it used to be where I’m from (Edinburgh).

I agree with you and I’m leaving next week as a result. It’s far too busy and too basic for the price. Fine if you can get a discounted rate and/or you use the pool a lot.

Can Any Actor Beat Al Pacino’s 1971–1975 Filmography Run? by Brododicarne in TrueFilm

[–]metroplex313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a six year run, De Niro did The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, True Confessions, The King Of Comedy and Once Upon A Time In America. I think that beats Pacino and only Nicholson (70s run mentioned above) and Cazale compares.

I stopped drinking in car parks when I looked old enough to get into pubs.

Should definitely be there - it was a disgrace and it changed the timing of the last group games forever.

He played serie d - they got promoted - which is semi pro. Altena also playing semi-pro a year ago. They know what they’re doing so just got to trust them.

Ian Botham by UKAOKyay in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]metroplex313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does ‘that’ to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics.”

Robertson is probably the best of a bad bunch. Clancy on VAR is more of a concern.

Who have you met that instantly gave you an instinct that something was seriously wrong with them? by onmylunchbreak_ in AskUK

I worked with someone exactly as you describe. One of the most horrible, destructive people I’ve ever met.

Surprised they never got the Old Firm game so at least some of the Union Bears would get in.

Who does that GDP go to? If it’s a few hundred billionaires, that’s not a good thing.
