Aye, there was always one that would embarrass you.

 

Mine was a Dolly Parton album, I took a fair amount of stick for that.

 

I actually liked "Jolene" so headed down to the newly opened ASDA at Dyce to buy the single.

The album was 99p and cheaper than the single so it seemed to make sense.

 

I burned all my albums on a bonfire a few years ago.

It was like killing memories.

You see, you're a softie really.

 

I was tempted to write “fuck off ye poof”.

 

You would probably be one of the few who would have got it. Being Eberdeen and of a certain vintage.

 

It’s alarming how a busier AFC webchatspeaksite is populated by so many non-Eberdeen mutants.

 

Posted back there after they banned me from here. Now they’ve banned me from there again. For 10 days.

 

Even the moderating isn’t Eberdeen these days. World’s turning to shit.

 

Jerry Sadowitz said it best. His opening line at the music hall was “Britain’s gone gay”.

Gaylord wasn’t in use in Abz schools in the 70’s. Poof was the only game in town.

 

It’s more an attitude and a sense of humour, being Eberdeen.

 

It’s definitely still healthy in the real world but dying out online with so many young thick fucks posting.

 

Last month when they banned me from here, I got the message whilst in my room at the Ritz. I thought that deeply ironic, without thinking through what the irony might be. At least they telt me I was banned and why, even though I don’t agree. Cunts over there never bothered. How un-NE is that?

 

We done the Dorchester, the Savoy and the Ritz the last 3 years. Never again. The Ritz was the worst. Establishment England and not worth the money. Interesting to see how the 1% play but terribly tragic seeing grown local men, good cunts underneath it all kowtowing to us all in their menial concierge and doorkeeping roles.

 

Fuck England and fuck the establishment. That’s not even NE anymore. Feeble cunts voted Tory.

Here’s why being nice works. Some cunts are only “nice” at Xmas.

 

My neighbour works in O & G and is away for a month at a time. Whenever he’s back he hands in a stack of films he’s copied onto DVD’s and I when I seen him last week, gave him a bottle of the cheap Asda champagne that we usually stock up on at Xmas. I was giving him the spiel about blind tasting and value for money etc. when he told me he was on the case as he’d just bought some that day as it had been reduced by 50%, to £8 a bottle. I went over and spent £192 on 2 dozen bottles, a saving of £96.

 

Not that we need that much but we have a full hoose and it’s nice to know we won’t run out. I just hope we have a heap left over to enjoy after our teetotal January.

 

Every time you do something nice or positive for someone else, the karma bounces back with interest. Not just in trivial matters like this but in everything. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Just did. Bang on I reckon. I make mistakes for sure but not on the maths on this one.

 

All war broke loose here in the last 5 minutes.

 

Daughters 2 & 3 have been so brainwashed by pc upbringing (external to how we brought them up), their dad can’t repeat words from great art without offending their sensibilities. Art that they just introduced me too. It’s really frightening how society has imposed taboos not just on concepts and thinking but individual words. Fucked up.

If you have saved 50% then your spend and saving would be the same. I.e original cost £10, 50% reduction means new cost £5 and saving of £5.

On that basis you have actually saved twice the amount you put in your post.

Anyway enjoy the champagne :thumbsup:

I bought 3 bottles at £12 each.

 

I gave my neighbour one.

 

He said it was for sale at £8 a bottle, that very day.

 

I purchased at £8 per bottle, a 50% saving.

 

Had it been £6 a bottle, that would have been 100% saving.

 

Had it been £4 a bottle, that would have been a 200% saving.

 

Had it been £1.20, it was 900% saving.

It’s not the arithmetic that I screwed up on, more the application i.e. where to start, so a thinking or expression malfunction.

 

I was reckoning that 12 is 50% more than 8, which it is.

 

But a “saving” is on the original amount so no amount of bevvy can right my wrong.

 

Now I need to go into town to buy a “present” for myself. It’s nothing to do with Xmas but the fact I made a decision to buy them now, at this time of year, is a major inconvenience as there will be lots of people kicking about. And I find that claustrophobic. I never feel that at the fitba. I have zero crowd-aversion there but wading amongst cunts shopping, and the associated busier traffic with dithering idiots, just nae eese.

 

The fact I don’t mind the busier roads before and after football has highlighted an incongruity or a contradiction within ma heid. Back to the drawing board for me. Arithmetic-application and tolerance criteria fails for rocket.

Shopphobia is a problem for me too.

 

Of course I desperately don't want to be in the shop to start with.

 

I need to see my escape route, any form of obstical in my way of the door to freedom and a form of panic starts to set in.

 

There was briefly a woolies where Asda down by the beach is now.

They set their aisles out so that you couldn't get out without zig zagging, I couldn't get out quickly enough.

Only ever went in once.

 

I was once, and believe me only once, persuaded to join Mrs Donsdaft in a visit to Ikea ( it was her birthday or I'd never have said yes)

 

I was in just under 5 minutes, I couldn't get out, I nearly went through a fire exit.

 

 

As you said, I've been in major crowds at football matches, no problem at all.

 

 

I don't think I was designed for shopping ( I like markets)
