Slacker

I've heard Eremenko is definitely not staying next season. Just thought I'd let you know - based on what I've seen of him, he won't be missed.

Hopefully this week we'll get one or two players signed up for next season.

Cracking match between Maguire and McGill tonight, with the latter winning 10-9. Was 9-5 up but couldn't get over the line for ages. Then rattled in 122.

The Guardian put this up today. Took me a while but eventually got it.

Only way was up for sinking Staggies

Okay, so you can't give me an exact timeframe. But how much compensation will I get? Nah that's fine - I was just curious if anyone has been in the same situation and how long they waited for. I'm patient.

Sorry if this diverts attention away from your question (I have no answer I'm afraid) but I've got one of my own. I was involved in a road traffic accident in December. Today I finally got a text from my solicitor saying the other side has admitted responsibility for the accident. Now I've googled how long does a claim last - and the results gave back very vague answers, every claim is different, etc. I accept that. But, those who have been in this situation, from your own experiences, how long did you have to wait until receiving compensation from the moment I'm at now: the other driver admitting it was his fault? If it helps - injury is whiplash (2-3 weeks worth) and car was a total loss.

I had an Xbox 360 but moved over to the Playstation 4 at Christmas although I haven't really had much chance to play it. And when I do I usually just stick on FIFA 15 or DriveClub. However, I just purchased The Last of Us and had a quick shot (2 hours) of it last night. Already I'm invested in the story and looking forward to getting another hour done tonight. Impressive so far.

Boyz n the Hood: 8/10. The director was 24 when he made this. Unbelievable. Engaging story and a good debut from one of the coolest men around; Ice Cube.

Pro Evo was definitely more enjoyable for 2, maybe 3, years. There's no contest now though.

Halo 2 FIFA series excluding FIFA 06-08 WWF/WWE SmackDown! series up until SmackDown vs. RAW Donkey Kong Country Worms World Party

Have you watched Life Is Beautiful yet?

I watched A Bronx Tale last night and I wish I could change my votes for Top Films of the '90s as this would be right up there. Really engaging film with interesting characters. Chazz Palminteri has a great presence about him. If you're forcing me to give it a rating out of 10, I'd plump for 9. Solid.

First gig of the year booked up - for June 2nd - Nas at the 02 Academy. He's playing Illmatic in full, this has potential to be the best gig I've ever been to.

I used my slow cooker for the first time today, for pulled pork. It was fantastic. One brioche, the other a crusty white roll. Cannae beat it.

"Trying ten items on and not choosing to purchase any might be an option", that can't be real. Surely.

Two 7/10s in two nights for me in Jerry McGuire and There Will Be Blood.

I believe that'd be Inverness CT 1-1 Motherwell in October '04, with 1,117 (at Pittodrie).

We played them 8 times and didn't win once. Glad they're gone.

Absolutely, however same could've been said ahead of Norway, Czech Republic, Serbia, Wales, Macedonia etc. I'm more confident under Strachan but we're in for a tough match tomorrow night, and I for one am shitting it. But we should be looking to win.

Royal Blood tonight were fantastic. Genuinely up there as one of my favourite gigs.

No it's not.

Wednesday 22 October - Death From Above 1979 @ The Garage. Thursday 30 October - Royal Blood @ ABC.
