  1. Pollok have always done one so assume they'll continue to do so.
  2. The animated series "What if?" Coming up on Disney + looks decent. Looks at loads of different alternate realities in the MCU. Captain Carter, different team ups etc. Seems to be in a similar vein to Spider verse so Marvel seem keen to try and replicate the success of that.
  3. Yeah, I'm wary of the road universities will go down. Assuming there will be less foreign students again next year, universities will remain under pressure to bring more money in and having mostly online courses allows them to enrol more students, making them more money but also just making the postgraduate employment bottleneck worse. Glad I've already gotten everything I need from uni!
  4. My first memory of Murray is being told he had won at Wimbledon in 2005 while I was out with pals by a man who has long since died. It's been a long time!
  5. Never come across this one before. Very nice.
  6. "Alexa, show me someone who has never watched a football game in their life."
  7. I'll be very glad to be proven wrong in this set....
  8. He's not winning another set today if he can't get over the line for this one. Does pose major questions about where he goes from here if he can't go any sort of distance.
  9. True, but still not a great viewing experience. Especially if I have no horse in the race.
  10. If I hadn't been to the Scotland games I would have went for the novelty of being at a major tournament. As it is, I've got little interest in watching such an unappealing game in an empty stadium where I need to turn up early!
  11. It's the wee split seconds when you get up in the morning and expect to see her there or when you go out in the garden and she doesn't follow. Can barely look at the big space in the living room!
  12. Cheers. We were very lucky with her. Was still going for two walks a day by the start of April but the decline came swiftly. Were convinced we were losing her in February last year but she rallied and we got another great year.
  13. I should have thought of the school I work in before the summer holidays started [emoji23]
  14. Anyone know anywhere that will take football boot donations? Got a pair here that I wore for 20 minutes on 4G so basically brand new. They're taking up too much space in my cupboard.
  15. The top flight time machine podcast has been doing a deep dive of these comics for two years now. In them, Roy is a corrupt, possibly murderous Tory with nothing but disdain for football. They are tremendous and that is now the character I have in my head for Roy Race, having been too young to have been a reader.
  16. Had to let our dog go a few weeks ago. She was a few days after her 15th birthday and her quality of life was rapidly going downhill. Could barely get herself out of bed by the end and she was terrible at night, barely able to lie down. During the day she'd usually pick up but the gaps between the good days and the bad were getting longer to the point where it would have been unfair to keep her going. Devastated to lose her.
  17. Had a week's residential on Castle Toward in P7 which I mostly enjoyed apart from being put in a group and dorm with none of my pals. Did Ardentinny twice in S2 and S6 which was alright. Only ever tried to get on one of the overseas trips, the Ardeche watersports one but didn't get picked. Have yet to get on one as a teacher due to the nature of temporary contracts and the fact that residentials have died in the water since covid. Love the idea of it but there are a lot of kids I teach whom I don't trust to take to the library, let alone a foreign land.
  18. I feel live I've been waiting my whole life for that and just didn't know it.
  19. Last day of term and mortgage approved. A solid Wednesday!
  20. It's mostly football forums like this as uefa are strict at policing it so ebay and Gumtree are unlikely. A guy posted here a few posts back some examples of websites where they're pooing up. Maybe worth trying on some of these European football weekends type Facebook groups as well.
  21. Once they send you them digitally, you will be able to transfer them to someone else very easily through the app. Open the ticket, click transfer and provide their email address.
  22. Wait til the SQA get their hands on them. He'll be lucky to be accepted by Duolingo.
  23. After dodging this shit for a year, I reckon I'll be told to isolate tomorrow. One pupil awaiting a result and if he's positive then I'm probably screwed. Of all the weeks. Finished for the summer on Wednesday, Scotland game on Tuesday and meant to be getting the keys to my flat on Friday. I will be fizzing if I need to lock myself indoors for a week. Insane that I'm also still expected to be in tomorrow even though by lunchtime I may be getting told to isolate.
