Regan vote split slightly towards Forbes, but it was only marginal. HY close enough on 1st Pref that the split wasn't enough for Forbes

MS, and Diabetes

Really weak episode this week. Feels like it's all just filler until there's a big showdown at the end now. Which episode is the 'OMG Grogu just got hit square in the chest with a blaster bolt and he's dead.... oh no he isn't because of the plot-mechanism armour that nobody knows about' set-piece occurring in then?

Suppose I had better vote then.

Cypriot club shops must run short of vowels constantly.

Get these red socks so far to f**k SFA

Bowyer clearly just trolling Shaun Byrne noo

aboot time

Need to swap McCowan to the left and bring McMullan of for Hannant. Our right wing is a blind alley because McCowan is drifting too narrow without the ball and when he does have it he's turning back on to his left every time.

Two minutes of keepball futility on the right wing

Join the queue

Turns out Hannant is capable of more than a slow jog.

The entire right side is a shambles.

That came entirely from Bowyer playing a guy without a right foot down the right wing while McMullan is sitting on the bench.

McGhee/Cameron central pairing with Mulligan at RB and Byrne, Robertson, and Williamson sitting on the bench is baffling. Fair enough if the pair of them had been playing out of their skins lately, but they've both been utterly honking for weeks.

World's biggest facepalm GIF here please.

It's ma baw, and it's no fair!!!

Do adolescent males still prove how hard they are by 'broncoing' swings?

They obviously sook aw the heat oot of the Scottish ones and send it south of the border. Bloody energy surplus yet we have emormous fuel bills and freezing cauld stake bakes

What part of the world do you have to be in to actually get something warm from Greggs? I've been in the central belt for the past 30 years, and I've never once experienced it.

I don't know if anyone else from P&B was aware, but last Tuesday at Portobello library there was a demo against a group calling themselves "Concerned Adults Talking Openly About Gender Identity Ideology". Jist of it is that this group contacted CEC about use of the library for their meeting months ago, and CEC gave permission, but having clocked what they were about also told them that in order for it to go ahead they would have to pay for their own security (to the tune of £600) as it was obvious it would be contentious and attract a protest. They kicked up a stink, but setup a GoFundme for the security costs. After a bit of hoo-haa where even GoFundme rubbered them, they eventually raised the amount and the meeting went ahead as planned. Anyway, I happened to be in the area so decided to go along, more out of curiosity than anything else, but also because I was interested to witness one of these events for myself and see how my own first-hand experience compared with how these things are commonly reported in the 'mainstream' media. So I rocked up shortly before the planned start time for the meeting to find about 150-200 people in all already on the scene. The vast majority of these folk, and I mean vast majority, like all but 10-15 of them, were just everyday, typical, ordinary looking Porty types that you'd walk past on the High Street every single day without batting an eyelid. There were roughly 10 youngsters dressed in black, coverings on their faces, waving placards adorned with pro-trans rights slogans, and a few other 'well kent faces' carrying boards with anti-trans slogans on. So having seen what I wanted to see, I waited around until the meeting finish time had passed, folk started drifting away, and I left and went home. Next day, sure enough, every single newspaper runs with some variation of "200-strong woke mob waving placards, shouting abuse, hounding 'ordinary' people" and so on. Complete and utter keech the lot of it. Anyone who thinks the UK media is portraying anything remotely close to a balanced or nuanced picture of what happens at these things is mistaken. Take this example :- https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-news/ugly-scenes-parents-defy-cancel-29459709 The group in the picture are the full extent of who was there that could possibly be described as 'gender warriors', and were the only folk who were being noisy or carrying placards. Where they get "150 protestors" from I have no idea, as the truth was more like 10-15 and the remainder passive onlookers. Also, I didn't witness anything whatsoever that could be described as an 'ugly scene', and I'm also at a loss as to why they feel the need to describe the goings on inside the library as a 'peaceful meeting' unless they are implying that was in contrast to events outside, which is so far removed from reality that it's utterly risible. So yeah, I'd be really wary about the stuff you read in the paper about 'clashes' or certain groups acting in an 'intimidatory' manner, because at this 'protest' and the others I have taken in outside Holyrood, the only thing I've witnessed that anyone could possibly have objected to was some of the utter shite that the Cabaret lot choose to play on the karaoke machine when they are mocking the transphobes via the medium of song and dance.
