Traditional boozers in Glasgow

Somewhere I went quite often a while back. Late 90s now I think about it. -

The Mitre as in up a wee lane of Argyll St? Brunswick St maybe.? -
Tempur Mattress
littleboyblue replied to TDYER63's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
I was on the verge of buying a mattress from Dreams around a year ago and the saleswoman tried to throw in the mattress protector at a 'reduced price'. 'Let's be honest, its always the men the that pee the bed' she turned and said to my wife. How she thought that was a good sales line I'll never know. Straight over the road to Benson's it was! -

I served PK a few times while working in Hills when I was a student. I've met Michael Watt in his role in Financial Services. -
First Pub You Got Served In

It would have been the White Hart Hotel in Campbeltown - 'The Hert'. Had actually been going in to play pool for a couple of years anyway at weekends and school lunchtimes and ordering Irn Bru etc. Then someone ordered a drink, got it, and the flood gates opened. I would have been 16 but some were probably still 15. I remember one time, maybe during exams when we were in during school hours, the barmaid asking if school was shut that day. Think we all just looked at the floor and muttered 'eh, don't know' as she probably went off grinning. They knew fine in there. -
Morton v Aberdeen

It was indeed six until today but that didn't include the 2000 CIS cup final, which was a few weeks before the Hibs semi. -

I stayed near Masham for a week last summer and although this might not be appealing to you, Hampden View, we had a great day at the Forbidden Corner with the kids. http://www.theforbiddencorner.co.uk/ Its not just for kids obviously but I would recommend it as a family day out. -
I remember being verbally abused to the sounds of 'sheep shagging b@stard' in German accents from a balcony above the street I was walking down in Oporto during Euro 2004. I was wearing a white replica away shirt with red pin stripes, so possibly Hamburg fans still hurting about the Super Cup! My three mates, two Celtic and one St Mirren, made a visibly attempt to distance themselves from me to make it clear they were not sheep shaggers! I thought it was a good spot from them to pick out an away strip from a different era.

Joe Hart

I read that Bryan Gunnsson was on the bench. It looked Icelandic to me. I was also joking. -

Looks more of an Icelandic name to me. -
EU Referendum
littleboyblue replied to irnbruman's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
I remain to be convinced the opposing EU ref results in Scotland and elsewhere alone will sway the population sufficiently on Independence, to reach the 60% most seem to feel is required to be confident of a Yes vote. Is this so different to year after year of Tory government that Scotland has subserviently accepted, despite not voting for, in the name of the UK? Would pro EU No voters see this as more important than who the government is? -
Europa League 2016-17

Not sure about that, deecie. I thought that only worked from QR2 to QR3 due the draw for QR3 taking place between the 1st and 2nd legs and the winner of the tie being unknown at the time. I think the play off draw is made after the 2nd leg of QR3, in which case the winner of the tie is known and if we got there we would be relying on our own paltry coefficient. -

Then again, we took Rijeka's seeding last year, drew the unseeded Kairat and went out. -

True, from the point of view of getting to QR3, but we will be unseeded in that draw if we get there. It might have been better to draw a (beatable) higher ranked team in QR2 to then piggy back on that seeding for QR3 and give a better chance of getting to the play-off.
