Slacker

Disaronno and Pepsi Max. Lovely.

A few years ago I found myself in a similar 'out of my comfort zone' scenario. I work at a college and was asked to be on a two-man panel, grilling groups of S5/S6 school pupils about potential space experiments - with the winning idea actually being sent to the ISS. The panel was me, with a Standard Grade 3 in Physics and 5 in Chemistry, and former NASA astronaut Michael Foale. Michael asked about 20 questions that I didn't understand, turned to me for my input and and my only question to a team pitching an experiment on ants was: "How many ants you going to take up there?" As if that made any fucking difference to anything.

Popped this beauty in the Sub this morning and it's now ready for pouring. Included a Gösser Zwickl keg in this order - anyone had that one and if so, is it decent?

Just make sure you're playing the PS5 version of COD. I think it boots up the PS4 version as default. You probably already know this. Hoping to get one at Christmas or January - I don't have a 4K television so think it's maybe a bit pointless upgrading my console right now. Especially since I'm still enjoying Warzone anyway.

Looks to me like Biden is going to edge WIsconsin and Michigan, meaning he'll need only one of Pennsylvania (unlikely?)/Georgia (quite likely?). Is that fair to say?

I dip in now and again to coronavirus briefings, news etc. and then once I know what I can and cannot do, I go a large period of time avoiding reading too much about it - because it's too depressing. Therefore I have a question that may be daft and may have been answered previously, so apologies for that. But it's about vaccines. Why do we have stories like this Vaccine is 'likely to be imperfect' and 'might not prevent infection', warns head of UK task force one immediately after stories like this Oxford Covid vaccine works in all ages, trials suggest one? Is it because they genuinely don't believe the Oxford vaccine will work as well as reported, or are they just tempering our expectations but it might work as well as reported? The whole way through I've been, probably naively, thinking life will pretty much be normal again once a vaccine is rolled out - which I know will take time. But the general opinion now appears to be that even with a vaccine life is going to still be pretty grim. I just can't work out how that can be.

Correct. Is the left lane correct? I ask because I go on a roundabout everyday and for the exit I'm taking (4th from a possible 7) I always go in the left lane, but seem to always have someone in the right lane cutting across before the exit. If you're at the blue mark - heading to the blue arrow - would you be in the left lane or right lane? I'm never sure if I'm doing it right.

Doubt it's little known to P&B but none of my mates have seen Sling Blade, a film I love.

I agree with this completely apart from King of Queens. That’s tremendous easy watching telly IMO.

Assuming no injuries/Covid, I think Clarke will have 10 of the 11 (Marshall, Tierney, McTominay, Gallagher, Robertson, Jack, McGregor, McGinn, Fraser, Dykes) sorted in his head. It's a question of: O'Donnell-McTominay-Gallagher-Tierney-Robertson or Tierney-McTominay-Gallagher-Cooper-Robertson IMO.

RIP.

Sneddon Foster - Brownlie - O'Ware - Penrice Docherty - Bannigan Murray - Glass - Lyons Graham Wright, Williamson, McKenna, Sena, Gordon, Kouider-Aïssa, Rudden. Breen, Cardle. I would say that probably looks like our strongest team.

Saw this earlier tonight. Still thinking about that “including my son?” line. Overall 5/10, did not really enjoy.

My first four gigs were all at the SECC. Say what you want about Kings of Leon now but back then with only Youth & Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak out, they were class. I was never really into The Offspring but a group of my mates were going so I tagged along. Other two were decent.

Could be trying Tierney as a CB.

I'm approaching 30 and still play video games probably 5-6 hours a week, and my girlfriend gives me the same kind of "what age are you?" patter. I enjoy it though and 95% of the time I'm playing with and talking to my mates, so don't really see why I should stop. The only problem is I have one TV - in the living room - so I suppose it's a pain in the arse for her not to be able to watch anything during that time. Although some nights she could stare at her phone for hours not watching anything and then as soon as I boot up the PS4 I'm suddenly being selfish. Infuriating Things Your Partner Does for this pish.

Been in 10 final rounds, 0 wins. Had my tail grabbed with 3 seconds to go and also mistimed the jump to the crown on Fall Mountain once. Came nowhere near winning the other 8. Good fun though.

Does anyone know where you can get a red pudding in the west of Scotland?

McGill has seemed very dour this tournament. Is he always like this? Seems very different compared to when I think back to his Crucible debut. Hope he or Wilson wins the championship though.

Probably duos or trios. Find it easier playing with mates too who will communicate and stick together rather than randoms who do their own thing and don't give a f**k.

I got 4 wins in 3 months then went on a run of 4 wins in 4 days. I've now won every type too: solo, duos, trios, quads. Delighted!

I put weight on throughout lockdown that officially gave me an 'obese' BMI reading, through not exercising at all and eating whenever and whatever I wanted. Have been cutting out alcohol and junk food this month (plus I just had a nasty case of cold sores that made it hard to eat for a while) and now I have a BMI of 28.7 - so now back to 'overweight'. Hoping to drop another stone and a half in the next few months. Once I'm committed to losing weight I actually find it quite easy to do, but for some reason finding the motivation to actually do it can be difficult. Good luck to any fellow fatties.

Just started playing golf and hit 114 round Troon Fullarton today, starting 9-9 and 3 putting pretty much every hole. One par. Hope to get under 100 by September...

No I don’t, once you’ve paid up 50% you can hand it back without having to pay any of the outstanding balance.
