    What's a decent weather app for Android? Dark Sky was good but was bought by Apple, the default Android one which I think is accuweather is garbage (the amount of times it predicts thunderstorms that never materialise is unreal) , and I don't like the layout of the met office one. 

     

    Weather & radar app. Scarily accurate real time radar and forecasts are always spot on.

    I've been enjoying "Earth" on Monday nights. It's an update of Life on Earth I suppose. Anyway millions of years, volcanoes, ice ages, evolution, disasters, extinctions and that's all before the dinosaurs appeared.

    It is good. As is A Year On Planet Earth with Stephen Fry about how various animals cope with the four seasons. (Not Vivaldi)

    Walked into the Irish pub at the Merchant City a few years ago . Asked for a Malt. Sorry we only sell Irish Whisky . No problem went to another pub not been in another Irish pub since. No problem having a nice Irish nip but if your not going to sell Scottish whisky then you ain't getting my money. 

    I only ever go to Irish pubs when abroad on holiday. Always guaranteed a good night when there's a band on. Not yer Christy Moore terrorist sympathising shite obviously.

    Gatefolds were very common in the seventies. Especially (mostly) for single albums. In the days before Spotify you actually had to go into a record shop and browse, then choose, then purchase. The sleeve was a big selling point. 

    Thanks to Roger Dean artwork I'm sure Yes had a double gatefold with 3 sections.

    Mariners looking to sweep the 3 game series against the Blue Jays just now. Can't think of many better ways to finish my week of annual leave than the Mariners and a couple of beers!

    I feared the Blue Jays were going to throw it away at the end there.

    He was talking to some techno DJ and was deep in the midst of asking him about BPMs and why he wasn't called "Fatboy slim or some other "DJ name" before revealing he's  played some "cool" soul set and had got pissed off "by the punters" so he pulled led Zeppelin iv "out the gatefold" even though it's not a double album as far as I'm aware.  Even the techno DJ asked him if he played "the full stairway to heaven" and he shut his pus.

    To be fair without tam and it was "isa from still game" as the guest it was still better than the usual output.

    Was last Saturdays show if you want to listen again on BBC sounds.

    I'm sure gatefold just means it opens out not that it's a double LP.

    Stopped at the services in Kinross the other night, and a guy came out of the building with a cockatoo sitting on his shoulder, got in his car and drove off with the bird still sitting on his shoulder. Weird.

    I was waiting for a punchline there😄

    Don’t have experience of it so can’t help but the government’s approach to everything post brexit is to desperately try and avoid anyone not British from doing anything and have completely ignored how much of a pain in the arse they are creating for the vast majority who shouldn’t need to prove their identity every 5 minutes.   The amount of times a job is delayed because someone who has maybe left Britain for 2 weeks in their entire life but need to hunt down documents to prove their right to work is an absolute joke.

    That rant didn't answer his question.
