  1. Back in the day, my daughter took up the double bass in the school band. As well as its transportation challenges, she complained it was boring. I said "It doesn't need to be" and the school called a social worker.
  2. You can’t live your life based on exceptions. I remember similar were popular with sportsmen twenty or thirty years ago, and I believe a friend used similar to address snoring twenty years ago. I don’t know if it worked - we weren’t that close SC
  3. That is useless without a YouTube link
  4. It always seems to be someone else's problem.
  5. I don't know - how stupid is it?
  6. And it did a decade later
  7. Great photos - Thanks for sharing! If you posted them in small batches, it would be easier for people to start a conversation about specific photos.
  8. Salvador Dali, eat your heart out!
  9. There are some thoughts - perhaps many - that are not helped by relevant images, and many of us would benefit if you allowed us to keep a slightly looser grip on the miseries and tragedies of the world. SC
  10. Back in the day, we had red and green symbols, to show whether you drank McEwans or Heineken, but when Scottish Brewers were split between Heineken and Diageo, those became a thing of the past.
  11. Back in the day, if Western Films are to be believed, we'd settle it by doffing our jackets and spilling into the street, like gentlemen. Online, that is not so easy, not since Online Pub closed. I never investigated why Online closed, and left shortly after, though coincidentally.
  12. Sometimes we have to struggle to bring reality round to align with our memories. But more often, Deja Vu is accidental, and certainly not my favourite bar on that street. There is no expression in French (to the best of my knowledge) "jamais vu" for something that you have seen everyday but suddenly appears entirely new and novel.
  13. If you are trying to cast doubt on the achievements of Scotland's most successful football team, I shall have to introduce you to josephbloggs, and suggest that you both step outside
  14. That's a challenge that anyone can easily check, but let's face it, memories of the past are the best memories.
  15. A comedian is only as good as his straight man, if I can say that without sounding woke.
  16. But should we bring back to life those that have passed long before? Aye - goferritinabigway!
  17. We're top dribblers! Actually, Queen's Park, en route to the FA Cup Final - more than any other Scottish team has achieved - invented the passing game - and the Scots were renowned for not dribbling.
  18. If at first you don't succeed, use the boot, and then the heid. Given the absence of posting in the last eleven years, I am uncertain whether people lack interest in a Best Of Medicine thread, or a lack of imagination to put forward their best curatives and palliatives. Or maybe there's just been not so many good posts, this last decade or so.
  19. There’s few amongst us wing to take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them; but they should at least have the nobility of the mind to endure them in stoic silence.
  20. I followed pretty much the same route this Good Friday, with a detour at the start via the Waterfront and Humber River
  21. And Strongbow at the Elephant & Castle on the way home.
  22. There’s none of those problems that wouldn’t be solved by human extinction. We need to be clear about the challenges that we set to AI, whose side we are on, and our second choice opportunities
  23. The question is, whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them? if you can’t be arsed taking up arms, don’t ask for help from your brother beyond the stars
  24. Back in the saddle, with dry iced cider served in a Tennents glass.
