    Yep, you know the second it happens too, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Luckily it's never happened while I've actually been driving. The sun suddenly coming out from behind a big cloud at the same moment I happen to glance out the window from a darkish room is another common trigger.

    It's reassuring to know it's a relatively common thing, and generally harmless. Don't ever Google the symptoms, though, or you'll be convinced it's a TIA / stroke precursor, or vCJD, or a tumour, or brain-eating parasitic worms, or something! (Spoiler - it isn't!)

    Yes. I mentioned it to my optician at my last eye test and he said as long as they don’t get to the stage of happening every other day and dissipate within 30 mins max it’s nothing to worry about, whilst obviously being inconvenient.

    I get these occasionally. Most often it's triggered by a sudden bright light, which starts a tiny patch flashing which then grows bigger over the course of the next 5-10 minutes. There seems to be no way to stop that progression once it's started, and no other recourse than to wait for it to pass (which does indeed go quicker if I just shut my eyes.)

    I'm not complaining, mind you, as this seems to have replaced the agonising and nauseating "normal" migraines I used to get. Haven't had one of those for years now.

    That’s exactly how they are with me. Usually catching someone’s LED headlights at the wrong angle.

    I get there is a level of political correctness when these teams are selected at the end of the season and they try to be inclusive of the full league but having watched both play in the flesh no way does Burrell get chosen in front of McIver by any sane football manager IMO. In fact it’s hard to see past any of our starting 11 bar the goalkeeper if you were going to be really ruthless about it. 

    I would absolutely have MacIver for us ahead of Burrell but they’re going to be lazy and just look at scoring record so Burrell will get in.

    John McGlynn and Callumn Morrison deservedly picking up the Manager of The Month and Player of The Month awards respectively.

    When it comes to naming the team of the season they are going to have a hard job a) justifying to the rest of League One fans why it 90% consists of Falkirk players. OR b) they are going to have an even harder job justifying to Falkirk fans why it DOESN"T 90% consist of Falkirk players.

    Alfie Bavidge on loan at Kelty seems a player but who does he displace from the Falkirk side?

    That boy Tait at Hamilton is anoth . . . . . . . . Oops!

    Who from the other League One sides would you have in the team of the season? (apart from keepers).

     

    Guaranteed they will put Burrell in it. Obviously Morrison top scorer but not a striker, so Burrell will get in there.

    From the SFA website. At least it sorts out the question of offside, as it's not even close.

    I do wonder if the assistant probably wouldn't have even been able to see the Aberdeen player at the bottom due to three others in an offside position in the middle, so his play-on decision might've been just as dodgy as the VAR making the decision without lines.

    It doesn’t sort out the fact they guessed at the time though.

    A group of us used to go on wild camping trips for one or two nights fairly regularly. One weekend I was going up for the second night only, and while stocking up at Tesco on the way I called the others to see if anyone wanted me to pick anything up. One of the guys, who I didn't know particularly well, asked me to get him a crate of Tennents,

    At the campsite, upon handing over the merchandise and informing the person for whom I had done a kindly favour that it cost £9.50, he said he only had a tenner and asked if I had the 50p change. When I said I didn't, he put the tenner back in his pocket and said he'd ask around to see if anyone else had any. 

    I never did get paid. A tenner was too small an amount to make a scene over, but enough for me to still judge the guy on this experience 20-odd years later.

    I hope you didn’t give him the beer. FFS.
