Bisexuality tends to be people attracted to both men and women in the traditional sense i.e their physical looks and their personalities pansexuality are attracted the personalities of men, women and trans people, that's my understanding of the difference could be wrong.
Pansexuals are attracted to everyone regardless of gender, which really just makes the term bisexual obsolete as it can only exist in a binary paradigm and we seem to be moving away from that. I've heard it said that the difference is that bisexuals are attracted to people because of their gender, while pans are attracted to the person. This is, imo, a juvenile and simplistic notion of attraction and as such there is, materially (in that, how can you say a bisexual is attracted only to their partner's gender?) no real difference between the two.

Aye I can imagine. Him having a full body aneurism when Ross Greer dared to provide a more nuanced view of Churchill was delicious telly.
I realise I made that seem as if Greer was talking about Winston's gender identification. The two stories were quite unrelated.

I'm not fully up to speed in all the terminology but I must say I love seeing Piers Morgan getting offended at getting called "cisgender".

Much obliged, that's helpful.
Now, just to check, is "queer / queerness" another term for homosexuality, or is it something else now? I have a nagging feeling the term has evolved. Gracias in advance.
Cis means that your gender aligns with your biological sex. Queer these days means that you don't entirely align with your gender. There are so many terms that overlap. Gender fluid and gender queer seem to be the same, as does non binary. Bisexuality seems to be materially the same as pansexuality. You can tell I have young studenty pals.

Just a selection of the absolutely terrible takes from the first two years of this thread.
Not having this. Some of the quotes were more than reasonable at the time. Tierney had stagnated at Celtic and was also injured, apparently chronically.
Also, we've now got a cracking few players in the squad and Tierney put in fantastic performances in the last few games. Using it as an opportunity for a GIRUY is poor form.

@KnightswoodBear and Shagger are basically best pals now, so I fully expect him to have a word.

Great attacking performance last night, and I'm delighted for the boy Adams getting off his mark. He looked like he enjoyed that.
Our midfield press, or lack of it, is still a worry. We stood off the Faroes at points and just let them have shots and crosses. I might have thought this was due to them not being seen as a threat, but we do that with all teams, some of whom (Israel, Austria, Slovakia) punish us for it. We have the players to play an aggressive press/counter attack game. I don't think we'll qualify if our midfield continue to stand off.

Went to Nottingham with a view to a move, I believe.
He was loaned out to Notts County before he was a first team player at Celtic. He was a bit and then went on to be excellent for Celtic. Saying he bombed is way off.

Bit like Robertson then.
Robbo has never been someone to beat a man unless it's from a give and go. Fraser is a pure winger so should at least be trying.

Fraser definitely has the goods to beat a man, but continues to stop and play it back.
Frustrating to say the least.

So you're saying he's available.

It's easy and highly satisfying to get tore into the police and throw all of your anti-authority anger onto them. I've done it too. It feels fuckin brilliant to create an other and to just have at it. There are obvious things that we can use as evidence against the police, there is definite room for reform, but we also need to watch that we don't fall into the trap of dehumanisation. These folk tend to deal with people on their very worst days, and I imagine that takes something out of you. I also imagine that to deal with death and awfulness on the daily (or even just weekly) you have to become a certain type of person just to not fall apart. Incidentally, when I was working at the police club in EK I saw more than my fair share of bobbies who were functional alcoholics. The emotional toll of dealing with, not just the material impact of death and cruelty (gore, dead bodies) but the collateral impact in the shape of bereaved families, is unimaginable.
So aye, there's perhaps cultural changes needing to be made (and may be in effect; these things do take time to percolate and become norms) within the police, and it's easy (for me too) to view them as, at best, jobsworths and at worst, fascist bullies. The treatment of football fans can leave a lot to be desired, and the aforementioned macho culture can have profoundly negative effects on public and officers alike. The apparently heavy handed approach to the recent vigil cast them in a poor light too at a sensitive time.
But f**k me it's a profoundly tough job. Thanks for the reminder @Inanimate Carbon Rod, @pub car king and @scottsdad.

Considine and Shinnie are both thoroughly pleasant and lovely individuals.
They don't tip though. Ever.
Context, I worked at TGI's and they were regulars.
Dom Ball was an absolute gent though. And would always leave a tenner, regardless of the size of the bill.

Just watched today's episode of "the art of France" on BBC4. Genuinely delightful and informative show. The lad presenting (Andrew Graham-Dixon) is so brimming with enthusiasm and knowledge. It's an art history program and the level of research is excellent. This man kens his stuff and I'm looking forward hugely to the next episode, which will cover the revolution.

Just started watching "The Irregulars" after spotting a recommendation in the Herald. I'm only 5 minutes in but I'm immediately disheartened by an all too familiar oversight. This is about a street-gang used by Sherlock Holmes, but the kids all speak like they went to Harrow. There's a lot of talk about diversity in films and series, but it tends to revolve around sexuality, gender and race. Too often class is overlooked, and this is especially jarring when the characters themselves are working class, or below it in this case. I'll keep it up for this episode, but it's hard to believe in a Victorian London where the street kids are posh.

Hastings scored a last min try in 1995 to win in Paris...Right guy, wrong move
He is right, just the wrong time. Hastings scored a monster pelanty from about the half-way line in that game, but I'm fairly sure it was in the first half.

I definitely came out of the ground bouncing after the Ukraine game. We were fantastic in the second half and played with a real swagger. I recall Broonie and Faddy epitomising this.
Buuuut, my favourite game was the Italy home game in 2007 because I'm a fuckin masochist. The whole emotional build up to that game was incredible. The swashbuckling attacks and the constant noise. It was an absolutely cracking game and had a truly heartbreaking ending. At the end of the game I remember feeling utterly distraught, but with a bubbling of hope that if we could come so close in a true group of death, then we could surely overcome an easier qualifying group as 2nd seeds...........
It's easily the most courageous Scotland performance I've ever seen.

Just now, Gordopolis said:3 minutes ago, velo army said:People saying that O'Donnell has been as good as Robbo is a bit much. He's clearly not good enough at international level, but he tries hard and never hides, so I like him, but he is poor on the ball and his crossing is utter shite. Robbo on the other hand is good on the ball and his crossing is miles better.
I thought Tierney was incredible today, the number of times he took the ball from his own half and made 60 yards or so was fantastic.
McTominay too - utter sexy silk. 11 players like him and we'd beat anyone.
Indeed. Best game he's ever had for us.
