The SNATCH Podcast Returns
Alas we have started it again, the SNATCH Podcast, only this time there is a twist...we also video the podcast and put it on YouTube. The reason we are doing this isn’t to get “Internet famous” (although that would be pretty cool). We do it because our patter is piss poor, so piss poor it almost makes it funny, it is a good way to voice our views and opinions on subjects (which lets face it, aside from looking at funny animal videos all day, that’s what the internet is mainly for.....apart from of course pornography). The main reason we do this podcast though is because it is a good laugh with your mates. Its almost like a ritual; we set up, we have a few beers and discuss what we are going to talk about as we do not script it because then it wouldn’t be “real patter”. By the time we have finished discussing and start recording we are usually at this point quite buzzed and that’s when the real banter starts. Whether it’s Duffy showing his distaste for my ginger beard or Italia using his intellectual lingo or Dave’s dry humour or Big Jamie’s loud sounds that spew out from his face hole, there is some material in there that everyone can enjoy. We aren’t aimed at a specific audience or trying to make any real points. All we do is literally hang out, drink, spout shite and entertain ourselves by ripping the piss out of one another. A recurring segment we have is “Tit of the Week” (that is copyright protected and we will sue anyone who even thinks of using it). This segment is exactly what it says. We list off a few people that have made the news, been on the internet or someone we may know or have witnessed doing something which in our eyes is complete lunacy and who we think is a complete tit for doing what they have done that week. Yes yes i know it seems very judgemental but f*ck you, no one is forcing you to listen to the podcast or watch it on YouTube. Its a funny segment and there are some toppers who make it on to the list. As we have attempted a podcast before and then gave up on it, we wanted to come back with an even better one and make a real go at it. We enjoyed it last tie but we were still finding our feet and didn’t really know what to do. This time around we are older and “wiser” and I use that term very VERY loosely. We are enjoying ourselves better this time around and hopefully can get a few laughs out of it, be that at us or with us, hopefully the latter. A few more episodes in I think we will start to promote he podcast a bit more and if it takes of then great but if it doesn’t then who cares, it’s just a laugh for us and a chance to talk shit and get drunk (but then who really needs that excuse in the west of Scotland). I’m going to try and keep at this blog thing too an see how it goes, feels good having somewhere to go to voice yourself and have it somewhere that I can go back and read it and realise how much of a tit I am for writing all this on the internet. Anyway I digress, onward and upward for the SNATCH Podcast and if you can be bothered, give it a listen...literally type SNATCH Podcast into YouTube and you will find it! 
Catch ye :)

Tattoos
Ever since I could remember I always wanted a tattoo. I remember saying to myself I don't want to be one of these people covered in tattoos as it doesnt "look nice". I said five tattoos that would be my limit. I have since lost count of how many tattoos I have and my left arm is nearly covered yet I want more. It's amazing how time can change the outlook of people. I no longer think that people with loads of tattoos don't "look nice". Not because I have loads of tattoos, but because as the years have went by I've learned to respect and not judge people. I think society could use a bit of a breakdown and get rid of the judgmental, disrespectful, arrogant attitudes in this modern day we live in. But hey what do I know.

Disney Songs...
Every now and the out of the hundreds of Disney movies there are, a song comes along that is so catchy that it sticks in your head for the best part of a year. It first happened to me when I watched Mulan years ago. "We are men" (the English version, not Jackie Chan's verson). I'm pretty sure it was Donnie Osmand that sang it. But that song was so catchy it's still lodged in my cranium. The next song came years later and I think majority of people had this one stuck in their heads and still do.....Frozens "Let it go"....damn that was catchy as f*ck. Three years have went by since then and now it's Moana. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson singing "You're Welcome". Such a catchy song, stuck in the head, singing it every now and then and annoying the shit out of everyone with it. But that was your plan all along...wasnt it Disney? WASN'T IT!?

Just a quick one...
I can't believe it....i actually can't believe it. That weekend that just passed, I actually had some luck. In work I got One For Arthur in the sweeps, so I think bugger it, I'll fire £2 on it each way in the bookies as well (I wish I put on more), after that I proceed to put a coupon on for Sunday's football games. I included my team in this coupon (Glasgow Rangers). Now when I do this my coupon rarely comes in (well even of they were not on it my coupons rarely come in). Unbelievably as well as the horse I bet on winning my football coupon and my football team won. Now that is one lucky weekend for me, a good bit of money back and my team beating a stronger team by 3 goals....what a weekend.

Not wrote...typed one in a wee while
I refer back to a previous blog I did a while ago. Social media can be a dangerous tool but at the same type it's a great way to get a debate going. I recently shared a video on my Facebook of a young girl/boy who does not want to be referred to as male or female because she/he is "non-binary" or "non-binery" (spell it how you like). I expressed my views of this (which were in no way offensive) and since the first posting if the video the comments started piling in. Some folk saying the girl/boy is a freak and a weirdo (which I don't agree with) and others saying that we should be sensitive to the situation. Personally I stated that I didn't agree with either...this was the small fire that turned the post into a full blown blaze. People started arguing with each other, people wanted to get the last word in and people just wanted to wind other people up. At one point someone actually blamed the British Empire....baffling as it may be. But hey I knew there would be a big debate about the subject and that's sort of why I posted it. I wanted to see people's views on it and see if anyone agreed with me or was totally against my view. Moral of this story is, although you don't (or really dont) agree with someone's view, you should still respect it, especially in this day in age when the world is making big changes. I encourage debates, it's the only way we get to see many sides of the one story. We learn, we argue, we laugh, we poke fun and usually there is that one gem of a comment that is just mental. START A DEBATE AND LEARN! (But don't be a dick in the process haha).

Movie Sagas...
Some you wish would go on forever, some you wish stopped after the first. Fast and the Furious is outlandish, unrealistic and ridiculous BUT each movie is a good watch. The Expendables, pensioners running around shooting drug Lords and bad guys while trying to break in the new recruits and teaching them the importance of comradery while throwing oversized butter knives at folk BUT again a good watch and I hope they never stop even if Stallone and Arnie are cutting about in zimmer frames with rocket launchers attached to them. Then you come to The Resident Evil movies….such potential. They decided to change up the storyline from the games and add the main protagonist Alice, project Alice, Alice “no one can kill me” Alice, Alice “I have the power of Christ” Alice. The first movie was good, the second movie was not bad, the third movie was awful and since then I’m pretty sure they have just threw feces at the cinema screen and called them sequels. This happens quite a lot with movies based on games. The makers of the movie decide; “oh the games of this series could be movies they are that good! We will take the basics from the games and then add in a whole bunch of other shit that makes no sense and completely change the story….you know….just so we make it our own”. I’m in no way shape or form a writer of movies or a director, but I think I am a good judge of games and movies and I can tell which game stories they should have stuck to for the movies. Some rants are just meant to be had and I strongly believe this is one of them…fuck you Resident Evil movies.

Put anger to good use *FAIL*
I've always said try and use your anger to help you, be that working out, running or in my case tonight...football. Well tonight I tried to vent all my anger on the pitch and it always seemed to find its way right to the referee. I seemed to mutter all sorts at him under my breath at the beginning of the game but by the end I was staring him square in the face and calling him a blind moron (obviously what I really said was far more harsh and way more offensive). I went a little loud towards my team mates but then I turned it inwards because I remembered...they are my team mates. So needless to say I has some excess anger wandering around inside me like the incredible hulk on super steroids. My way of getting rid of some of this anger on the way home was playing some heavy metal music very loud in the car and screaming my tits off at the parts of the song where the singer screams his tits off. Upon entering my house the dog was there to greet me, give me a cuddle, a lick and I feel (slightly) better. So if you have some excess anger floating around, try to vent it with some heavy metal and scream your tits off, it helps.

Losing to the bookies...
My friends and I made a day of Saturday football and called it "Super Saturday". We meet up, go to the bookies, put on a few accas (football accumulators), play roulette and then head to a pub or a house and proceed to watch the 3pm football results come in. It's been going for a few years now and it's becoming a great tradition. A few of my friends put on £10 and £20 on single bets, I however like to put £2 or £3 on 5+ folds...this is probably one of the reasons I never win. It has occurred to me that I have probably won more on the puggy (the roulette machine) in the bookies than on actual football bets...and even at that it's not a great amount. You would think I would learn from my mistakes and stop gambling but no. Not from being addicted to gambling or anything, but just the routine of doing it every Saturday and having a good laugh with my mates. I can stand to lose a couple of quid every week and have a great time with the lads. Worth it.
