Quite depressing looking back on the toys from the old days tbh. So many toys just for the sake of being toys because they're fun to f**k around with, whereas now if you're in Smyths or wherever, every single thing is a commercial tie-in of some description, right all the way down to baby stuff.
f**k capitalism m8s

Had a 48K Spectrum when I was wee, and it's still the best computer I've ever owned. I don't care that it couldn't even play Doom.
I had the fucking Subbuteo grandstand, and I was utter shite at the game. Don't ever look up how much that stuff is worth now unless you enjoy greeting.
Tomy Super Cup Football was the tits, although the wee balls were awful for pinging off into cracks in the floorboards and suchlike. Came across one in a charity shop years ago, and you'd better believe it got bought!
Super Cup Football was the ideal take a game in on the last day of school game.
IIRC I painted some figures for it - motherwell, Cameroon and Nigeria
Edit: also +1 for rubber key speccy

Reads like a SAGE member desperately trying to cover their mistakes. In March 2020, the UK was quite literally the only country in the world aiming for herd immunity by infection, so the premise of that thread is based on a falsehood. The UK’s approach was a catastrophic error that directly resulted in tens of thousands of avoidable deaths.
I doubt that’ll end up being a remotely controversial viewpoint when the dust settles.Possibly. I thought it was quite interesting in conjunction with Dominic Cummings' recent tweet fest

Doxing others is the usual intolerant arsehole behaviour of the Green party and it's supporters.
It is why they will always remain a minority party.
Going on membership (i'll personally never join a political party), I expect Alba will overtake the Greens within the year. Not bad going for a party that started 2 months ago. How long have the Greens been about again? 30+ year?
That really is a fantastic figure you've made up in your head and congratulations to alba for achieving that hypothetical number of members in a pulled from your arse timescale.

Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors. I remember reading the serialisation of this in the Observer magazine back in the 70's, and it was cheap on Kindle, so thought I'd read the full version.
Absolutely riveting, to be fair, with the sheer horror of the crash survivors' situation resisting the deadpan reporting style of Read's writing. Recommended - not for vegetarians, mind.Used to be obsessed with this film when I was younger. Inspirational stuff.

As compared to current MSP Stephanie Callaghan.
She compared Theresa May's rejecting a referendum request to.....the Holocaust.
But, she's Nicola's pal.
Ironic, given that her now boss, parrots Theresa May's "Now is not the time" pish and the sheep nod away, agreeing with every word.
Which sheep in particular, given the panel base poll quoted in another thread showed 22% want it within 12 months and 33% in two to five years? Neither 22% or 33% sounds very sheep-like - seems a bit more like a wide split.
I'm just worried you're seriously over egging the actual facts to make some kind of partisan point.

Am I the only one who thinks this is turning into a political witch-hunt?
I personally couldn't give a flying f**k that a publicity whore was somehow tricked into an interview. The fucking airhead would have gone on the record at some point irrespective of Bashir's shenanigans.
The Heil and the Express seem to be pushing on this - brass neck would be an understatement.
Definitely. Absolutely ideal shock horror fodder for the tories to f**k up the BBC more than they already have.

Home improvement firms must be absolutely coining it in. Been looking at a new kitchen and lead in times for design and fitting are months. Asked the guy at each firm if it was due to not being able to get supply but no it's purely down to massive demand as folk have hee haw else to spend their cash on.
Same wi gardens. Noone going on holiday so money to burn

Same energy from all the Alba losers
Does anyone want them back? That's not at all the vibe I've been getting, but then I'm not particularly perceptive and my brain is as smooth a sphere as can occur in nature.

As you say, it's the people of Scotland who will deliver it. It is also what Nicola says.
Nicola says a section 30 is required. A section 30 order gives our sovereignty to westminster.
Westminster can set the terms with a section 30 order. You ok with that? I'm not.
I do not wish to say what I would include as part of that request, for fear of it being refused.
I honestly don't think any of the WM cabinet get their hole enough to rut like us stags round these parts mate. You can probably get away with saying it and they'll never know.

I start reading Ulysses by Irish writer James Joyce. I tried to read this modernist novel several times already, but the maximum reached the third chapter. This time I want to read to the end, no matter how long it takes me. Who read this book guys? Share the secret of success how you did it. I am in medical college and have a lot of writing assignments. But my passion for reading fiction and Joyce is enormous. Because of reading, I sometimes cannot complete my nursing writing assignments, so I turn to the company LINK REMOVED for help, which provides assistance in writing assignments in short lines and with the highest quality.
Better just to nuke the entire site from orbit imo

Nicola Sturgeon has said she wants a second independence referendum by 2024, Covid permitting, then independence in 2026. However, a Panelbase poll for the Sunday Times found only 22% of Scots want Indyref2 within 12 months, 33% want it in two to five years, and 45% don’t want it at all.

Why was it just the Kent variant and not the British variant or the English variant? None of the other ones were so localised.
Is it not just here it was called the Kent variant and elsewhere it was the UK variant?

So Glasgow and Moray gets stuffed in Level 3 cause 'cases' yet East Renfrewshire doesn't cause...? Baffling inconsistent.
I haven't watched it so could be entirely wrong, but is it possible that the intervening time period has let them get a bit more of a handle on whether or not it was as transmissible and as concerning as first reported, and as it turns out it isn't, they've acted accordingly
