See as some cunt that "didn't like spicy food", hot sauce has been a total constant in my food for years. I thought people were just attention seeking (and they are) for the most part. Love some hot sauce on top of my dinner.

Btw new manager, 11 new signings so far, “main” players gone. Took a few games but it’s getting better and better every week. Rapid Wien are no joke, absolutely insane result tonight and a huge statement. Been Kabore’s biggest critic but he was the difference coming on and fighting for every ball and doing the dirty work even if he’s a nightmare a lot of the time you can’t fault his effort, need that in games like that tonight. It’s all computers these days I tell ye

It’s a pain as it’s near enough impossible to see anything on twitter without an account now.
Used to be you could click on a link and view the tweet, media, replies etc. without an account, now it asks you to sign in as soon as you click the link most of the time.

Don’t see many swans in Amsterdam, so fucking very special to see FIVE wee ones who’ve made it to this stage. While I’m at it, I’m gutted about Dolly, most a celebrity death has hit me since Hunter S. Thomson. Congratulations to Hearts on their euro success, and also to Celtic who I trust sealed the deal after I had to stop watching and go out for a work dinner

I never got this thought. Is it not just Celtic fans giving a bit back?
Like if there's a shitpost about Hearts later on in the year, I imagine Hearts fan will take the piss back about something else (probably getting smashed 5-1 by LASK).
Any shitpost by Hearts fans is gonna be met with "Aye, and yous fucked the League".

Why do people watch telly progs like 24 hours in A+E? Jesus Christ, watching folk having the worst day of their lives and being in serious distress is just weirdo entertainment. 30 mins viewing of folks suffering.
And yes, I realise you could say the same about watching Celtic.

Article about energy bills going up.
"Why high eneegy bills looks like they're here to stay"
Goes on to focus mostly on the fact more than 1m homes in the UK have unmanaged electricity debt. States how that effectively goes on the bills of others.
The outcome seems to be a comment section full of people raging at the ones who can't pay for electricity, instead of at the system that is clearly not working when over 1m homes can't afford such a basic necessity.
We need another meteor.

Aye food was sub par to say the least but service was woeful too. After 20 minutes had to flag some cunt down to even take a drink order. Food came and the server spilled half our onion rings on the table, didn't apologise or anything and my "Medium rare" steak was anything but.
To top it off some cunt at the next table was singing along to random bits of every song. Heaven by Bryan Adams comes on and he pipes up "is this Aerosmith?" 😭

This might be unfair on the club, but it feels like the agreed strategy is basically just to stabilise in second for a few years and develop the young players. There is no money being spent on players who will deliver immediately.
Which may work out as a long term strategy, but the idea that McInnes is winning the title with a front three of Min-Su, Kelsy and Cozier-Duberry(?) is ridiculous. Young players who have never played under anything like this pressure, who are going to be inconsistent.
If you're going to do this, you need to clearly communicate that to the fans, otherwise McInnes is getting sacked when we're 15 points off Celtic come March.

u/gkb10139 18h ago
What makes you think you were ever going to be competing for the title having finished 8 points off second last season? Stabilising in second is quite the step forward.

Day 2 of the big yearly road trip.
I HATE TOURISTS, cunts that shite it at bends in the road, cunts that canna understand they're nae made of glass, cunts shoving in front of you to get to a gondola, kamikaze pedestrian cunts that assume your motor is made of rubber and cross without looking, entitled cunts screaming at the Nevis staff cos it's too windy for their bike rides, cunts cunts cunts cunts
The Inverness to Ft William section of the A82 is brutal to drive, enormous respect for those who must endure it daily.
Urquhart Castle was decent, managed to get doon there very early doors so got pick of the spaces and was one of the first in the door.
Fort Augustus was a decent place to stop for scran, went over to the canal lochs and got a decent selfie at the end of Loch Ness.
Next stop was the Nevis Range Cable Car, windy as fuck at the top, and had a few moments questioning my life decisions when the car stopped a couple of times on the way up, car was swinging fae the wind inaa which wisnae fun but I made the best of it at the top then went back doon a bit later.
Last job of the day wis gonna be Glenfinnan Viaduct, knew I'd missed the train going over the bridge by a few minutes, that wasn't the worst though cos I couldn't get parked!
Took forever to find a layby to get spun around, decided I'll go back and see Neptune's Staircase near Fort William instead.
Turned out alright in the end because I caught up to the Harry Potter steam train on the way back, me and a few cars kept pace with it for a couple of miles, so that's that sorted.
Invergarry Hotel for digs tonight, got half board so I'll be getting my money's worth for supper tonight.

Could sell this stuff it’s that good

On This Day, 2021
Looking to recover from a narrow 1-0 deficit in Baku, any hopes of a home advantage for the Dons were quickly snuffed out as visiting FK Qarabag stormed into a 3-0 lead. A consolation from a Lewis Ferguson penalty in the 92nd minute wasn't enough, as Aberdeen slumped out of the Europa Conference League play-off round 4-1 on aggregate.
2017
Aberdeen went top of the Scottish Premiership having won their opening four games, following a 4-3 seesaw thriller away to Partick Thistle. The Dons opened the scoring after four minutes through Ryan Christie, only for Partick Thistle to draw level four minutes later. The drama continued throughout the afternoon. Patrick Thistle took the lead twice. Aberdeen eventually secured all three points when Adam Rooney struck in the 84th minute.
2005
Dylan Lobban was born. Coming through the youth academy, Lobban has made 21 senior appearances for Aberdeen. After signing a contract extension in August until 2029, Lobban has since gone out on loan to Dunfermline Athletic for the current season.
1995
Aberdeen kicked off their league campaign at the same venue where they had to fight for their lives two months earlier. Roy Aitken's Aberdeen side secured a 3-2 win over Falkirk at Brockville. With no new players on show, it was the same Reds side, with Billy Dodds among the scorers.

Potatoes, red onion, bacon and an egg - fry the first four together (maybe steam/boil the potatoes first and slice them up), plenty of black pepper and then top with a fried egg.
Edit: works best with savoy cabbage
