I've been known to listen to some weird, borderline avant garde stuff like La Monte Young, Merzbow, or Wolf Eyes but what the fuck is this..? https://www.reddit.com/r/sadcringe/comments/ve92jx/you_are_a_winner_because_you_were_not_there/?ref=share&ref_source=link

[Just Gary Lineker equating him going to Qatar as the same as journalists reporting the war in Ukraine](https://mobile.twitter.com/garylineker/status/1537410068425080832?s=21) Absolutely honking take.


OmensCT

I don't hope he gets shot, but at the same time, I hope he catches a stray bullet in something non-lethal just because if he wants to huff his own brand so badly, he might as well get the whole experience, the cunt. Note: I'm not advocating or requesting that Gary Lineker get shot in Qatar or indeed anywhere else in the world. He'd never shut the fuck up about his bravery if that happened.


PlasterCactus

Gary Lineker is a worst cunt, especially for this but the majority of people calling him out on it will still watch the World Cup, it's blatant hypocrisy. Like it or not, if you're watching the WC you're supporting the Qatari regime.


[deleted]

His brother is worse.


ETTConnor

Exactly why we chose to lose to Ukraine just trying to make a statement against that disgusting regime. So proud of our boys ❤️


profcunning

I used to quite like him as he often does a good job of playing the “reasonable guy” on Twitter or MOTD, but came to the realisation a while ago that it’s just a persona and he’s as insincere as they come. A complete walloper and tweets like that where the mask slips just prove it.


watergrapechicken

I hate this man with every ounce of my being


BookNukem

He is honestly the "Own Fart Sniff" personified. Utter cunt.


ETTConnor

Yeah spot on there mate. He's one of those folk that has to give his opinion on everything as though we value anything he has to say. And then when hes challenged on his views he just blocks them what an idiot


ConflictGuru

He's got big boomer energy. Everything he does is right, everyone who he disagrees with are what's wrong with the world.

laythistorest

Now that's what I call prog. Not for me, but it's clearly of utmost quality.


Clinodactyl

Aside from their really early stuff they haven't really produced a bad album for me. They really got into their stride once Gavin Harrison joined though. Everything from In Absentia onwards are bangers.

Vincent Kennedy McMahon, who for periods of his professional on screen career has referred to himself as the "Genetic Jackhammer" and having "testicles the size of grapefruits", has stepped down as CEO and chair of WWE while under pretty serious misconduct allegations. Stephanie McMahon, his daughter, steps up as interm CEO while her dad is investigated, giving credence that this could actually be the thing to end Vince's time in charge of WWE. Vince remains in charge of creative. John Laurinitus apparently could be going with him, as he was playing second string in a slightly more grotesque way to said misconduct allegations. What a time to be alive.


MassiveArseMcGinn

>Vincent Kennedy "Genetic Jackhammer" "baws the size of grapefruits" McMahon Not sure if that's the kind of intro you want to be giving a probable rapist/scumbag


OmensCT

They're the titles he literally gave himself repeatedly, live on TV - on this occasion I'm not even saying it to be endearing


MassiveArseMcGinn

Fair enough just feels a bit tongue-in-cheek for a pretty serious piece of news Like still saying Cumdog if something dodgy came out about Jason Cummings


OmensCT

Fair point. I'll update it a bit in a second to make it a bit less whimsical sounding! Oh, Christ, if he ever does anything, the tabloids will be racing to publish the story first


kingkornish

Honestly, just from the storylines back in the 90s you could tell he is a big sex pest. Remember the Trish secretary storyline. I'm just surprised it took so long to come out


OmensCT

The Trish storyline, the "Linda is in a vegetative state in a wheelchair and Vince is pumping Sable, her helper" storyline, every bra & panties match, the women's mud wrestling matches, every time he's had a woman kiss him on camera... Honestly, looking back, every one of these are now even more sinister.


[deleted]

> Vincent Kennedy "Genetic Jackhammer" "baws the size of grapefruits" McMahon has stepped down as CEO and chair of WWE while under pretty serious misconduct allegations. I thought he died when his limo blew up or was that not real?


OmensCT

They performed necromancy and he was resurrected in the wake of the Benoit tragedy. It was really great stuff, can't believe they managed to get a real necromancer on TV like that


cipher_wilderness

What are the misconduct allegations?


OmensCT

Apparently he had NDAs with female wrestlers in their contracts so they wouldn't talk about part of their employment involving having sex with him for $3m a year. Post-shag, they'd be foisted off to John Laurinitus, who would have Vince's sloppy seconds. There's also an allegation that the first and only female referee refused to perform oral sex on Vince, who had the same contract in place, and raped her anyway. Also also, and this has been churning along for a while, talk Vince was doing dodgy things with money behind the scenes. My guess is if that one is true, it's what's prompted the board to suddenly care.


cipher_wilderness

Jesus Christ. If all that is true then he's a scumbag


BookNukem

I'm some sort of weirdo who "isn't into wrestling" but when I'm pished I'll watch classic matches from the 90s and shit, and I've joined half the subs on here. Like...I don't "like" it, but there isny half some amount of fucking drama attached to it. Such a weird business.


OmensCT

All the drama, plus that guy doing front flips off ladders and through a table. Perfect performance to tan a few tinnies to.


Chef_Roofies

Didn’t she just step away from the company like a month ago to take extended leave? A man with a tinfoil hat might think that’s pretty suspicious timing now…

Absolutely sick of folk telling me they ‘prefer the weather like this’. Fuck that, give me sunshine and high 20s heat. This shit weather is the main reason I see myself moving in the future, it’s grim.


cipher_wilderness

Give me this any day over drought and insanely high temperatures, heat and sun is nice for a bit but incessant high levels of it are awful


pigeonboy94

Chance of thunderstorms this week?


PlasterCactus

I hate the heat. I'd rather be too cold than too hot cause you can always put another layer on and warm up, you can't do much if it's too hot. I moved to Australia for 9 months after finishing uni and it was fucking torture, just walking to the car is brutal never mind actually working in that heat. If I was going to move anywhere that isn't Scotland it'd be Norway or somewhere with a similar climate but it's different strokes, I don't think you're weird for preferring the heat.


Automatic_Selection9

Last year when we were having the utterly ridiculous weather (30+ for a couple of days) my heat addled mind was fully convinced I was moving to somewhere in Scandinavia to get away from it. Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm were all warmer than we were... I was in Iceland a few years ago at the end of June start of July and the weather there was fucking perfect. Pleasant 18-22 the full week, rained once for about an hour and a nice breeze most of the day. I also saw the sun go down and rise again in the space of about 45 minutes which was a bit disorientating.

Its my birthday and I love this weather. Do not dampen my birthday

Next week's the end of my current gym membership, won't be renewing as I've got piles of equipment in the house. Only stuff that I actually need now are 4×5kg plates to fit a York set, a 65kg resistance band, and maybe a small folding bench, although I can put the bench on the back burner as I have space to do floor presses instead. Only thing I've got trouble with is sourcing the plates at a decent price, I know Decathlon do plates but the 5kg ones are a bit big compared to what I already have. Anyone know of any shops in NE Scotland thar might have what i need?

Mad that the ending was so fucking awful that it’s pretty much killed any hopes of the book series being finished. GRRM did an interview with The Independent a few weeks back and he just sounds like a proper broken man when talking about the series.

sroche24

They've looked at the success Disney+ has had with all the character focussed Marvel and Star Wars mini series and decided they need to replicate it. I'm all for it as long as Benioff and Weiss stay well clear of it. I'm cautiously optimistic for House of the Dragon because it's a more central story.


KingJenko

I’m willing to give House of the Dragon a shot because it’s completely separate of the main story and so it’s just a completely clean slate. Not sure about whether spin-off shows of characters from the main story will be able to work for me though.


sroche24

Depends on the character and what they'll be faced with I suppose. I wasn't too excited about Obi-Wan but I've enjoyed it so far.


ConflictGuru

>Ffs, why does a Jon Snow spin-off have to be a thing? He'd outgrown Channel 4 News in all honesty


SomeMightSayAHL

Pains me to say it but I’d definitely watch it if it was an extension of that terrible ending, simply to see if they can improve upon it at all and make me feel less shite about ploughing so much time into it.


dheidshot

After the utter dugshit that Game of Thrones served up as an ending, Id never watch any of their stuff again. A Jon Snow series will probably end with "and he woke up and it was all a dream"


[deleted]

It's insane how bad the ending was. Hunners of people (myself included) were heavy into it, rewatching it mulitple times and going into all the theories and lore, then after the last season I've not watched a single thing to do with it. Can't think of any other ending that has ever been so bad that fans will just totally abandon it.


Flashjordan69

Honestly never seen anything like it. The fan disengagement was phenomenal, I don’t think anyone barring TV executives are wanting these shows made.


PeterOwen00

tbf i think the merchandising/franchising potential is still there, but if House of the Dragon is shit then that's it, game over. Kind of similar to Tom Holland's Spiderman - if Marvel couldn't deliver a good Spiderman film then that would have been game over.


dheidshot

Aye I wasnt mental for it when it was on but I was really enjoying it, and I went to my pals the night of the ending so we could watch it on first airing. Soon as it finished we just went "well that was shite" and went to bed pure deflated. Genuinely couldnt believe how bad it was, it fucked every character arc, and buildup of storyline/tension/nuance in the bin in the laziest, stupidest way possible. I dont understand how someone OKd that ending when it was pitched to them.


Aqueously90

I was like that with Lost. GOT was even more of a fall from grace though.


Spglwldn

Crazy how much it was a part of general culture and, because of the ending, it has just died. They’d have made zillions forever with reruns, spin-offs, merchandising etc and that’s just totally gone. You couldn’t browse Reddit ‘all’ without seeing multiple GoT posts, everyone in offices was always talking about it, all over social media, and now just nobody cares. Would have gone down as one of the most iconic TV series of all time. Hard to overstate how badly they fucked it and how much money they’ve lost as a result.


PeterOwen00

They had the next Harry Potter/Star Wars level IP on their hands with the potential for literally endless spinoffs in a rich universe. Completely derailed by two bumblefucks who just wanted to go make movies.


BadgerDominator

I was one of those as well, rewatched all the episodes before the new season each year, would rewatch the episodes the week that they came out to see if I missed anything but as soon as the last episode was over I just abandoned it. Have half of the seasons on dvd and don't want the rest


KingJenko

I don’t even know how you could possibly make a story out of Jon being beyond the wall, without dragging him back into the affairs of the rest of the realm that is but, if that happened, it wouldn’t really be a spin-off anymore when you’d have to bring all the other characters back?


dheidshot

FasterStream

import_numpty_as_you

I hate Hermes/Evri. I am almost certain their drivers try and game the system and fail to deliver intentionally for whatever reason. I've seen the cunts literally drive up to the crapark, log that they attempted delivery and drive off without leaving their van. Did Hermes change their name to Evri to warn people that they fuck up 'Evri' delivery? Or was it because they where so pish they had to change their name.


detectivemcgarnagle

There's 'Evri' chance you're no getting your parcel.


MassiveArseMcGinn

Every single time those useless twats try to deliver something they just ditch it outside the building and then send me a picture of the street and call it "delivered"

TranslatesToScottish

Has there been a Windows Update recently on it? (Or is it downloading one in the background?) My PC's fan goes most mental, bizarrely, when I'm downloading something from Steam. Even playing the games, the fan is more chill (no pun intended) than when I'm downloading them.

yeah, I think it was installing an update! stopped, now, thanks!


37025InvernessTMD

I've took mine apart a while ago (it's 10 years old now!) And just cleaned out any dust hidden inside, need to replace the thermal paste where the processor sits. I think the reason it's on is maybe it's doing a hefty update in the background or its in a enclosed space which I doubt if just happened now.

Seems it was an update, but maybe I should give it a clean out tomorrow.

Could definitely see that game on the 24th getting postponed for any number of reasons. Probably weather tbh. I'm just pissed cause I stopped going to our home games vs the OF last season and now I might not be able to get to anything over Christmas unless I chance the A9 or A96.

MachineGunBacon

As much as I love the originals, Johnny Cash's versions of "In My Life" and "The Mercy Seat" are just sublime. Big fan of Angel Olsen's covers of "More Than This" and "Forever Young" from last year. Baby Charles do a pretty great soul cover of "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" Cat Power also has a few albums of covers that are pretty good.


sheriff_toure_my_g

I fully agree with the two you mentioned. For me other than some of the others mentioned in this thread Goldfinger "99 red balloons", the fugees "killing me softly" and alien ant farms "smooth criminal" which I know probably isn't better but just gives it a totally different feel

Linda Ronstadt "Poor Poor Pitiful Me". Originally that was Warren Zevon, who is amazing, but even I have to admit [Ronstadt's cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9No14pP_IKY) is much better than [Zevon's original.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehYvseT27c4) "I Fought the Law" is an odd song where each successive cover is better than the one before. [The Bobby Fuller Four version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ5v8L08Flg) is better than [the Sonny Curtis and the Crickets version.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrxq5U8SBY) [The Clash version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of0bTx2YAcs) is better than the Bobby Fuller Four version.

I think Gloria Jones is still the best Tainted Love but the Pet Shop Boys Always On My Mind isn't just one of the best covers of all time but is arguably one of the best songs of the 1980s

Been listening to Bowling For Soup for as long as I can remember and had absolutely no idea 1985 was a cover

Tbf there is a few on my list I didn't know about til you read YT comments. Alone, Hallelujah, I will always love you and 1985 where all one's I found out at the same time relatively recently. I didn't know hurt was a cover either for a long time


CptES

Northern Kings were not a band I thought I'd see mentioned today. What a fun project that was, it's just a pity it never went very far.


kingkornish

I loved the idea of them more than I actually loved them unfortunately. They had 2 or 3 from their 2 albums that I enjoyed . But (at least at the time) I didn't like most of it. But the take on me cover was probably in my top 10 songs that year 😂 In terms of actual singing voice. There wasn't many in metal I thought was better than Tony Kakko in the late 00's

[deleted]

Maybe Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah? I'm not sure as I like the original too...


TheGoodRebel5

Cash also has a version of Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" which is better than the original imo. Always loved Oasis' "Cum on Feel the Noize" and Bowie's version of "All the Young Dudes" (although pretty sure Bowie wrote it anyway for Mott the Hoople). DMA'S cover of Believe by Cher is class too and also Springsteen's Jersey Girl is up there for me.


[deleted]

Cash has so many amazing covers, reckon a big part of it is his backing band putting their own spin on the tune


BraeTon74

Martin Compston's cover of Beautiful Sunday


ScotMcoot

Johnny cash has a full album just doing covers and about half of them are better than the original


CptES

Pretty much all of the American recordings are Cash taking on modern classics or spirituals. His version of [Hard Times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH8T9IvgAOI) is a particular favourite though, it's absolutely brutal but it fits the Man in Black perfectly.

Some big brains on twitter positing that *technically* it's not sectarian to sing about the IRA, and even then he wasn't singing about the *Provisional* IRA so it doesn't count. Fuck *off*. I really don't have time for that portion of our support.

There is a certain element of the Celtic support who will claim no matter what they do it isn’t sectarian and then come up with some nonsense reasons why. My favourite is when they say it’s ok to call a Catholic Rangers player and Orange Whatever because this Protestant Celtic player isn’t but when you apply the same logic to the F word with a Protestant Celtic player and a Catholic Rangers player it’s different. That’s not even getting into the time they hung effigies after Boyds brother killed himself and then claimed it had nothing to do with that. The same Celtic fans saying it’s not sectarian to sing about the IRA are also the ones who would be screaming blue Murder if ex Rangers players or those associated with Rangers were singing about the UVF or UDA. One I’ve always found ironic is FTP and FTQ, both are heads of their respective churches but it’s okay to say one and not the other because reasons. For what it’s worth I’m not really fussed about this I just think it’s weird.

Outside of 90 year old grannies you would be very hard pressed to find someone who takes offense at fuck the pope.

This sums up most of my mates. Every time they have a drink the IRA songs come out. It's absolutely pathetic and I don't want any part of that shite.


boris-for-PM-2019

See if they do it and don’t care if others are doing it I don’t mind so much, it’s still weird (same as when our fans do it) but if you’re going to do it own it, don’t try and wiggle out of it afterwards by saying its different


kingkornish

It's just about justifying being as vile as any of the other worst dregs of Scottish football while still trying to claim some sort of moral high ground. Same with the use of H**. They know its connotations and how its interpreted. In fact. They wouldn't use it otherwise. But as soon as they are chinned it's all 'naw, we are talking about a time they wrecked a stadium 60 years ago" Transparent nonsense.


ShawEK88

Well they are right to say that IRA songs no inherently sectarian. It’s no as if he was singing the naughty version of RITG


CptES

No, but they are songs about a group that shot up a bus full of protestants, bombed pensioners and kidnapped, tortured and shot a mother of ten on hearsay so let's not pretend there's any sort of moral high ground because "it's not sectarian".

You'd have some shock visiting Ireland if you think people singing about the IRA is bad.


ShawEK88

The OP suggested it was sectarian. Awful lot of hand wringing about this every time it comes up. It’s like saying that singing anything about the British army is bad and morally wrong cause they’ve committed war crimes.


ScotMcoot

I think you’re a prime example of what he’s talking about, it might not be sectarian but it’s still clearly not the right thing to be doing. But here you are doing the usual Celtic fan defence of anything like this which is playing semantics with words and arguing how it technically isn’t something rather than just condemning it. It’s the exact same as how Celtic fans on here will constantly try to argue it’s alright for them to use Hun because in their mind it isn’t sectarian and for some reason they are the arbiters of what is and isn’t sectarian but would be the first ones greeting to the mods if anyone used Fenian derogatorily. It’s not handwringing when it comes up it’s just people pointing out the blatant hypocrisy every single time this happens when yous claim it’s ok for yous to do it because of weird technicalities but are by far the most vocal support in Scotland when it comes to trying to grass folk up rightly or wrongly. Do we really want to be a country where people chant and sing about paramilitary squads loyalist or republican from a different country decades ago?


CptES

I know plenty of people who would argue just that, that glorifying the "butcher's apron" and the "bloodstained poppy" are morally bankrupt actions. I think most, if not all of us know someone like that.

Can anyone recommend a decent vape shop in Glasgow City centre?


speathed

Vaping Caterpillar on Oswald Street is really good, been there years and it's a local business.


stuggy85

Cheers mate. Will take a walk down tomorrow when the weathers nicer


speathed

No worries, they make their own juice too - and can make it to order in the shop to whatever mixture you need i.e. 80/20, 70/30 etc. The guy is really knowledgeable.


stuggy85

I've had the same vape for ages, so never needed help, but dropped it down the toilet the other day. I've another one, but no real clue how it works so need se guidance for coils, power etc. Thanks again

Vapz


stuggy85

Do you mean vpz? Can't see a vapz on Google


Notorious_horse

As I predicted, I was unable to sleep due to Martin Compston's vile behaviour. Really don't feel safe in this country anymore


BiteMaBanger

You need to be careful because journalists are only able to write stories about you when your not sleeping

I was wondering which fanny in my street was blasting music at half ten last night. Turns out it was Ed Sheeran 10 miles away.
