Sure we have likened Rob and his fam to the Bacons on here before now

Only messing Rob.

Rob and his fam 

I read that as farm and was gonna say - that's a bit ott.

Neck tats are rubbish. I don’t mind tats in general, and couldn’t even say why I don’t like them on the neck, but there you go.

I think I've had one bath in the past 40+ years.  what a waste of time - showers are so much more efficient.

My home has a walk in shower but no bath, although i love showers, straight in & straight out, i do miss a nice hot soak at times, the other week i was wishing i had a bath for a hot soak after a walk of a few miles, along the shore from Hoylake to Moreton.

Used to know a Tattoo artist and he flatly refused to do face/neck/hands

In a more culturally significant era Rag 'n' Bone Man would be a karaoke act.

Is that the one who said they'd only tattoo your bollocks??

Not a fan of them at all, and definitely not on women, they look vile on women.

Light shows before games aren't that bad. It's just seen as cringey because small clubs like City and Spurs do them to generate an atmosphere.

Any tats are rubbish to be honest. You can deduct 10 IQ points per tat with no complaints.

Don't know where else to put this, but I just saw this in a Business Insider article titled "I was born and raised in Scotland. Here are the 7 biggest mistakes I see Americans make when they travel here."

"Edinburgh is great — but don't visit Scotland without a trip to its neighboring city, Glasgow."

That's a bit like saying, "Norwich is great, but don't visit England without a trip to its neighbouring city, London". One is much bigger than the other, yet plays second fiddle in the sentence.

Don't know about counteracting bitterness, but a small amount of salt promotes sweetness, and vice versa (a small amount of sugar promotes the savouriness of salt).

Will likely be an unpopular opinion, but I like neither city.

And I adore Scotland generally.

(I also love London and think it is a wonderful and amazing city, which I guess will also be an unpopular opinion!)

I love them both.
Not many places, if any I dislike North of the border.

I find the whole Central Belt not great. In fact, I find most of the larger towns and the cities of Scotland a bit depressing and miserable. Stirling, Dunoon and Balloch are places I was keen to leave.

This is a ridiculous opinion, really.

Do I think people get awful, impulsive shit? Yes. But that’s not everyone and they have absolutely no bearing to hallmarks of poor intelligence. My IQ must be in the negatives then. I’ll let three uni’s know they made a mistake with my degrees and tell my job that despite evidence to the contrary, my tattoos indicate I’m too thick to do my job properly. No one at work even knows I have any tattoos because I have to wear business attire and mine are completely covered.

I say this tongue in cheek because I agree that especially when young we make some bad tattoo decisions, but amongst 20+ I have (and they’re only on my arms) I only regret one, but not enough to have it covered up. The problem is people go to shite artists to save money mainly.

They're not that different in size, and Edinburgh is on target to overtake Glasgow in population in the coming decades. Certainly nothing like comparing Norwich and London.

Correct.

Andy can come across to some on here as a bit of a loon.
I have met him and and can confirm, that he's far from being a loon.

The debate was from an article for American tourists. They’re obviously going to visit Edinburgh. In my view it is a great city to visit and look around. Only been to Glasgow a couple of times, definitely felt a bigger place, more spread out and the sort of city you need to just drink in (in every sense).

I really like drinking, Im sure Edinburgh castle is lovely, but not as lovely as your 8th pint of lager

To American tourists, Scotland is Edinburgh. To Brits, Scotland is Glasgow.

Edinburgh, Loch Ness and Skye.

One thing Edinburgh has is the local bus company [Lothian Buses, including subsidiaries Lothian Country & East Coast Buses] is council owned, because of this Edinburgh is one of the few places outside London that have a comprehensive all night network.

[BarryCrocker]

That's only because it has a castle and is a seat of the royal family. They love that shit cause they can never have it.

Why adding a little salt to espresso is also excellent.

Adding salt to espresso means you're drinking shit espresso.

[TepidT2O]

Adding salt to stuff isn’t nice.  No one wants caramel with salt in it.

Handmade food or other items described as hand-made, hand-wrapped, hand-rolled, hand-cooked, hand-shandied: Don't give a monkeys

Hand Cooked especially, pull the other one

Surely there's more to making crisps than just holding them in your hand. You'd use heat as well surely
