SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

I am inside reading a hardback law book typing notes and generally OK.

Did you go out today? Did you go down to the woods? Any surprises like?

 

Ah havenae been oot taeday but wiz oot and aboot yesterday fer the longest time since lock doon, sharing a few socially distanced bevvies wi' the neighbourhood.

Ah'm also daeing a wee bit o' reading and prep stuff fer work... usual problems, pacing aroond and finding distractions left, right and centre - anything but whit Ah'm saepposed tae be daeing. Even in lock doon, Ah'm like the Glesga Hamlet in the procrastination stakes. Well, it'll all end in tragedy, like.

Had some good news this week, Ah handed in a dissertation fer a part time Masters course last November and found oot on Tuesday that Ah'd passed.

You're allowed out to exercise so as far as im aware im staying within bojos boundaries? Certainly outside anyones personal space. Ive been hiring electric bikes most weekends which has been fun. Also redecorated the entire flat! Full on maximalist: greens, pompei reds, sunflower yellows, turquoises, galaxy blues

 

Alas Poor Rangers, I Knew Them Well.

 

Oh which bike did you rent?

 

Just the ones in the bike share scheme. Probably not the highest spec electric bike but i was massively impressed nonetheless, those things are magic. Wee wee zoom

 

Right Ye are laddie, Ah certainly havenae been hooseboond fer the last six weeks or so, as Ah havae rather large Scoattish Deer Hoond (mixed wi' Saluki) who Ah have tae regularly walk

Ah've been on an EBike in Germany a few times, the extra speed sometimes catches me oot and Ah feel like Ah'm gonnae crash. Hoo much are they tae hire?

 

About 8 quid an hour but with a £30 cap if you keep it less than 24 hours. Quite pricey tbh but ok for a wee weekend treat

 

Absolutely, well worth getting oot and aboot.

Well, back tae the grind... must place this boggin' phone in the next room tae stop me arsing aroond. This is whit MTF has tae put up wi', wi' his students... gadges wi' loadsae time but attention spans like gadflies.

 

300 watts, basically just under a half horsepower but probably as much turning force as a small motorped, albeit in very short applications.

Totally takes the effort out of it. It makes you want to go places on a bike.

I have a theory about ebikes that they bring the user back their childhood and that's why the E-Grin is a real thing.

Only downside with the bikes here is the cost

£1 to unlock and then a fixed price per minute thereafter.

I found one some bampot had forgotten to lock properly {locking cuts the timer off} on the Fulham Palace Road near Charing Cross Hospital.

So I jumped on it and bombed back to Sheen and then I locked it.

Now, if I had found it, locked it...I'd have saved the bam a few quid.

But if I had left it and not locked it, he'd have a bill like the Donkeys Dickio

By taking it, using it, and then locking it, I met the man half-way.

SO NOO COMPLAINTS MON!

Standard Lime Bike has one advantage over the Uber bikes in that it is rear wheel drive.

Makes a big difference. The rear wheel of a bike tends to take less bashing and applies way more power to the road going up hills.








In the Uber bike, the same wheel is doing the propelling, the braking and the turning. That's a fast recipe for wear of the tyre and you're also losing out going up the hills. In its favour it's a quieter bike as you don't have the shitty rear mudguard bouncing.

 

Uber Bike has a better basket and tyres too.

 

I remember that. Not the refusal to play, but the headline.

Super Calley Go Ballistic .........I think it was the S*un that ran it.

Celtic were really shit back then, late 90's. Shite.

AYE JACKEY!!! INVERNESS!! SHITE!!!

 

Haha those phone ins are a zoo

Tbf, we didnt have a bad team at all that year, larsson just got injured barnes lost the dressing room and the wheels came off. The football we were playing until about october was about the best i ever watched

We had mjahlby, lambert, mcnamara, boyd, kennedy, petrov, moravcik and larsson on the books, all mainstay players when we beating juve, barca, ajax, liverpool, Porto etc a year or two later. Plus viduka and berkovic who were talented albeit a pair of errant bawbags

 

I can't think of a single Australian player I ever gave a toss about.

Kewell, Viduka, Cahill, that wanker at Blackburn Lucas Dookas or whatever. Cokeface Bosnich etc etc.

 

Tony Dorigo wiz a good laddie at left back fer Leeds way back in ‘91

 

Played for England!!!!!!

 

Born and raised in Oz!

SEE 'ROO!

 

Happy Birthday, Gary Crosby:




And, against Shiteh.

 

That joi de vivre you feel waking up the day after a bad hangover...im skipping about ma kitchen like gene kelly

 

Oliver Pissed

 

He is indeed I had forgotten about him. Still sort of C'Ship level in a way.

 

Yeah. Wait till the Chinky Choo figures come out. He'll be making 4th faster than Rangers.

 

Bunch of obese middle aged pissheads, retired for 20 years take on the third best team in 'the premiership'. You know how this goes

 

"Wimmen Footballehs? Ahve facking shat 'em"

 

That was like rigging a raffle and taping it and then showing everyone the video to prove it wasn't rigged.

And everyone is sat there saying "Nice video of a rigged raffle".

And the organizers are delighted and think they've made some profound point.

What a fucking joke.

 

Looks like Kris Ajer is offski- rejected a new deal, Leicester and AC milan sticking their nose in. Which is a shame because at the rate he's improving im sure we wouldve seen the best of him next year then gotten considerably more cash

In other local news: RfC continuing to conduct their affairs with characteristic dignity

 

Sellik supercilliously silent through the whole affair....except to point out how nice our grass is looking
