Fairly certain there’s a few folk who ‘liked’ this post simply because they saw a Ghostbusters gif, and don’t have the slightest idea what I was actually talking about.

(Don’t mean you Jane ✌️)

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

My granny spent her entire life working in the jute mills in Dundee. I always followed her advice in life, ‘Could’nae gie a shite whaur your fae’, if I like you I like you, if you’re an arsehole, you’re an arsehole’. Always served me well 👌

It was a mixed pub. The clientele were all one denomination, I was the other. She completely failed to inform me of the ‘complications’ of the Central Belt, obviously.

My sister and her husband lived in Glasgow and bought the pub. I moved and lived there for a while, and they gave me a job. They lived in Kinning Park at the time, Lorne Street just off the Paisley Road West. It was an ‘education’ that’s for sure. Lot more to this ongoing story 😂

I had Tom Baker sign my copy of ‘Doctor Who and the Sea Devils’ at the John Menzies in Dundee, back in ‘77 or ‘78. Only many years later I realised it was a Pertwee series and thought I should have chosen a different book.

I had no idea what the situation was, or was supposed to be because I was from Dundee, where no one cared. Walked right into a load of bollocks that made no sense to me.

*amazing how many folk in Glasgow had a spouse/granny/cousin/uncle ‘from’ Dundee.

Just thinking earlier about the pub I worked in Coatbridge, back in ‘89. Can’t believe I fell for the old, ‘Oh Dundee, aye? My wife’s fae Dundee … what school ye’ go tae?’ routine. What a naïve twat I was back then.

D3S probably my favourite Nikon all-rounder, although I sold mine a few years ago.

Rescued this little sweetheart at 7 months old. Talk about my dogs like that, and you can properly fuck off sideways and hope you never meet me.

Some cunt posted a reply here saying this was like a ‘fine oil painting hanging up in a butchers’. I asked him what he meant and said something about a fat bellied pig. What the absolute fuck is wrong with folk? This was someone I followed as well. Don’t know why I fucking bother with ‘social’ media

I’m not interested in international football, only ever followed the domestic game, which is the heart and soul of football for me. Genuinely baffled though that at least half the countries taking part haven’t boycotted the games, given the fascist takeover of the USA. It’s a sham, and so is FIFA.

Many congratulations to the happy couple, you must be feeling proud Alfie 🙏

(nice to see a D800E still doing the rounds with a Pro, I feel like a dinosaur sometimes with my gear!)

The EVF in my old (old-ish) Nikon V1 is the only one that’s never given me a headache and blurred vision, must be the lower res. - that’s why I kept it.

Irish Americans - SNL
YouTube video by Saturday Night Live Irish Americans - SNL

Last weekend it was the ‘Christmas in Scotland’ American TV movie debacle - today Ireland gets the full treatment with the ‘Christmas At Castle Hart’ bollocks.

Jay’sus wept 😂
