The humane face of Dead Pool.

^^^This. Highlight of the new year.

Aldi certainly does.

Aldi stocks Williams Brothers' beers. Get a selection of those - can't go wrong.

Brian Reid (captain) Brian Rice (VC) James McPake Dick Campbell Stuart Malcolm Michael Paton Gary Bollan Danny Lennon John Hughes Alex Dyer All the best!

Wouldn't that strip the paint?

^^^DP hero of yesteryear.

In 2014, MoWonderboy achieved 2 megahits with junior contestants, solo. It was never established whether he broke the rule banning killing. But he seemed to disappear shortly thereafter.

Worth noting, again, that 2014's winner - long-since departed from these environs - achieved his victory with 2 (two) hits. Have I ever mentioned that I was second that year?

Good research and report, AH. I'm glad no one takes Dead Pool too seriously.

Thank you for your sagacious advice. Let's end by agreeing to differ, rather than flashing credentials, and be glad that each of us thinks and cares about the matter.

If you, or anyone else, were on my right, I would not so indicate - it would be alarming and unnecessary.

I don't accept I'm indicating wrongly. It would be a brief indicator action, only used when there was no-one else to confuse, for the benefit of traffic seeking to emerge. The shape of the roundabout is an important factor as there is a long straight section heading from the south entrance to the west exit and traffic looks as if it is heading west, to the emerging queue. I think this topic is discussed in Roadcraft but I'm unable to locate my copy.

I've already offered my explanation as to why such action is sometimes helpful: to the traffic seeking to enter from the left. As one who frequently enters the roundabout from the side (Dalmellington) road, I know that it is often unclear whether traffic from the right are exiting or not.

The money sink which is Cliftonhill will play a large part in determining at which level the Rovers can play.

Forfar got it's first roundabouts in about 2001 (just the wee painted fuckers). It's astonishing the number of locals who still don't know how to deal with them. I've lost count of the number of pensioners who I've seen just straight over them without checking the traffic from their right. Between those and ridiculous Mexican standoffs where three drivers all sit looking at each other wondering who's supposed to make the first move. Hopeless stuff. The example which comes to mind, to illustrate my point above, is the Bankfield roundabout on the A77 at Ayr. For a start, it isn't round, more of a parallelogram. As you enter on the 77, both from north and south, there is a long straight stretch into the exits. It's here where a right signal is useful to the waiting traffic trying to enter the roundabout. They are uncertain whether traffic on the roundabout are exiting as you can't rely on them indicating left.

Depends on the shape and layout of the roundabout. There are some where a quick right indicator is useful to the traffic seeking to emerge from the first road, on your left, to inform them that you are not exiting. In which case, a left indicator is helpful after they are passed.

Good man, Willie. My team later - shall wait and see if there are casualties this weekend.

To maximise the benefit from this, you'd have to predict who is getting sacked in December. That'll be guys who aren't there at the moment, or some who are presently managing reasonably well.

At least a few of these names will be gone before Hogmanay. Reid tonight, I expect.

Aye. Is it a goer? You doing the work, Willie?
