    Removals

    Anyone know of any decent man 'n' van wif bodies to help with a move. Emailed a fair few places now and got only one reply so far. Need the bodies to help as my gammy knee is being really gammy recently. Any ideas would be great. Cheers
  2. Septic and Rantic = Two Cheeks of the Same Arse Scotland's Shame
  3. Just need another glory hunter to take my spare
  4. May have already been mentioned but any ideas on how many Thistle have sold. Apparently I have an "appointment" over Firhill way at around 4pm ish on Tuesday and just need to know if I need to confirm this with the boss
  5. Apologies. Next time my wife has a serious illness and I need to look after the kids at the weekend I will make sure she has it during pre-season. *Edit: Forgot to add the smiley. Sounds rude without it PS: Can anybody get me a ticket? Hopefully can be my return to watching the Jags.
  6. Morton getting a bit of a doin'.
  7. This could give Morton a real motivation boost especially since league reconstruction rules/guidelines/do as you please* (delete as appropriate) looks as if they may not need to majorly upgrade their stadium to get in to the top league.
  8. What's the betting on another red card
  9. Cheers guys. Got it booked in at Paul's on Friday. car serviced and passed MOT. price as quoted. big thumbs up. thanks again. will defo go back again.
  10. Anybody know of any good garages for a MOT/Car service. Stay in Drumchapel so this neck of the woods preferred. Seen a few for Scotstoun but not sure what they are like. Any help is much appreciated.
  11. I "earned" the "private sector" job I had before this Government decided to take it away and can provide a list of my qualifications and previous employment experience to show this. I can also provide a list of all the "private sector" jobs I've applied for and the bog standard replys (if you're lucky enough to get a response) of "due to the unusually large number of applicants please do not expect a reply". I also know people who are facing a bleak future who "earned" a job who have received the "due to Government cuts the position you hold is now under-threat of redundacy". I also know a number of "private" business owners whose businesses are under threat as they have some contracts with the "public sector" and have had to tell their "private sector" employees they are also "under threat". I also "earned" the right to the house I am in just now by working my backside off and had a period of homelessness with one young kid and another on the way. However, who knows how long we will be in here once the rent can't be paid for and we'll no doubt be expected to leave it because we longer "earn" the right to be there. I'm no hero, but, I spent some time in the forces, which seems a lifetime away now, and have seen human greed up close and personal. Humanity - you're having a laugh! It's not pleasent watching neighbours kill neighbours and old friends kill old friends when there is no social order to prevent it. And, to think some would have you believe that the rich would help the poor if taxation, etc, was taken away. Keep dreaming! At the end of the day this is the reality of these "tiny cuts" for myself and others who were like me. Screwed over even though you were happy enough to work your butt off just to have enough to live on and not take on any loans/mortgage as everything you had you saved for and was paid for. Now everything we "earned" has been sold off to bring in additonal cash and also to cut the household budget. But, then I'm not looking for any kind of sympathy just stating that for some the ConDems are the best thing since sliced bread which I truly hope remains the same, but, for others, like me, they were the worst of all that could have been elected. I have no political allegiance to any of the parties as none would quite clearly not associate themselves with my thoughts. As far as I am concerned if you want to be in politics, which I studied at great length in college and university, then you would do so on the basis of getting reasonable ( ) expenses ( ) and no salary whilst working in other paid employment. I firmly believe there are other ways that this mess could be sorted out, but, unlike some I am not going to bore by ranting on about how "I" would do it. This will be my last post as quite clearly the thoughts and warnings I am trying to give, and the views of others, is only replied to in a manner that I find quite derogatory and condescending because let's face it I am old enough and wise enough to know what a "mortgage" is. Not sure if I can delete the username or not. If not then Admin you can remove/reset "Dragon" as you see fit. Dragon - Died Jan 6th 2011. RIP.
  12. So, what is the length of this short-term unemployment then? And, what about your "respect for the life, liberty and property of" the 1 million made unemployed and who could ultimately lose their homes, etc, they have spent years getting. I suppose they just start over again and hope they don't die or become ill before they can enjoy their "life, liberty and property" again.
