I'm not that into scones. I can take them or leave 'em. If you offered me £100 I'd never have a scone again.
What's your scone begone figure? Even if you love that dry way your mouth goes after a scone you must have a figure?Normal/ fruit/ treacle. Fake, crumbly cakes.
For me tattie scones taste like hot cardboard. But hey each to there own. I like a fruit scone. £100,000 would do it

Not likely, he hated that song. R.I.P. The guitar hero's, guitar hero.

@Sergeant Wilson some good tank or no tank discussion on this.
Not a tank but definitely bigger in the trouser department than any Russian APC I can think of.

His debut as a Liverpool “player” just after he had left St Mirren in 1979.
His goals against Slavia Prague in Europe capped a brilliant night at Love St:
RIP Frank
The most natural goal scorer I’ve ever seen consistently in a Saints jersey.
St Mirren would not have got to the final or won the ‘87 Scottish cup without his experience.
Thanks for that. I was watching that second goal from Carter's corner. If my dodgy memory serves me correctly Frank back heeled it over the keeper. One of my all time favourite St. Mirren goals.

The Hunt for Red October. The book was far, far too long and the last third was quite boring.
For me it was the book over the film. I really liked reading about the submarine tactics which doesn't come across in the film. As for casting Sean Connery as a Russian submarine commander. Just naw.

I'm learning mine to drive at the moment .There are 2new speed bumps at the edge of Auchinleck which she refuses to slow down for and clatters over them at an awfy speed ,because as she says "they never used to be there"
Reminds me of what happened to a friend of mine. He was cycling to work when a female driver turning left knocked him off of his bike. Her reasoning for this was "you weren't there yesterday when I was making that turn".

BBC reported today that according to the US department of defence they estimate total Russian military casualties thus far (killed, wounded and missing combined) as 100k. And the same for Ukrainian forces. If true that is 1917 / 1940 levels. War of attrition indeed.
Not yet... 1939–1940 inflicted devastating losses on the Red Army, including the deaths of at least 126,875 soldiers and the wounding of 264,908. That was solely from the war with Finland.

Titi or Mutton bird is an NZ delicacy. Muttonbird or mutton bird may refer to species of petrel, especially shearwaters, whose young are harvested for food and other uses before they fledge in Australia and New Zealand. They taste like kippers bizarrely.
Also had crocodile, alligator, kangaroo (incredibly good steak, very lean), ostrich (tastes like beef), springbok, zebra and whole cuttle fish cooked in its own ink.

Been checking on International scores recently and couple of unusual club names have popped up . Namely, Wormatia Worms (Germany) and St. Bruno's Magpies(Gibraltar). As a student I proudly played for Turd Lanark (Jordanhill college's 3rd team) in a league that also featured Melchester Rovers and AC Milanda. Do they still make Milanda bread by the way? Interested to hear of any other unusual club or team names.

Said it before and will say it again, there is only one change in the law that will stop the repeat of the last 10 years and it’s not one that the Labour Party is committed to. That change is ditching FPTP for PR. It would mean the end of extreme governments being elected with huge majorities on 40 something percent of the vote.
That would create a more consensus type of government that could may be try to fix things and allow longer-term planning without worrying about a complete change at the end of a five year election cycle.
I agree. However PR doesn't always guarantee this. New Zealand's last election saw a massive victory for Labour. Removing the requirement for a coalition with the Greens and New Zealand First.

Henry Smith got a cap for Scotland at football and played cricket for Corstorphine but was overlooked by the Scotland selectors, alas.
Maybe he dropped the cricket ball too often...

Aye orcs really shouldn't try big words. Stick to being monosyllabic it's much more in character. In the same post "the country wee live in..."

I’m assuming you rate him but I’m also suspicious that your taking the piss. To be fair I don’t know anything about the player, so maybe you’ve seen him in action and can tell us more.
- Midfielder Keanu Baccus plays for Western Sydney Wanderers and has played in the vast majority of their A-League Men games in 2021/2022, making 18 appearances overall and playing 1,558 minutes. He has been selected in the starting XI in all 18 of these appearances across their 23 fixtures.
- The last league game that Baccus played came on April 24 for Western Sydney Wanderers against Wellington Phoenix; a game that he played 75 minutes in during a 1-0 loss. In total, he has scored one A-League Men goal this term, and provided three assists. He has amassed five yellow cards.
- His opening goal of the campaign came in the 2-0 victory against Sydney on March 5.
- Next up for Western Sydney Wanderers in the league - who are in 10th position in the standings on 25 points - is a trip to Perth Glory on April 30.
- In last season's A-League Men, Baccus featured in 25 games for Western Sydney Wanderers, scored one goal and provided four assists.
And a cheeky wee goal... https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=170185768238201

First time that I've seen the "All Whites" in an all black strip. Would love to see that with a St.Mirren badge on it.

He needs to get Fraser back in the team for Saturday though, I like Tait and I was glad he extended his contract. He’s the archetypal solid squad player, versatile and with a good attitude. Apparently he’s been helping out with the fitness training since Junior left too, think he’s got some qualifications in that side of things. He’s an asset to the club, but he shouldn’t be starting games if Fraser and Tanser are available. He’s simply not as good as either of them.
Wholeheartedly agree with this. Tait is more of a warrior than Fraser but is as slow as a week in the jail. Fraser an all round better player

Auckland City who play in the same league are professional and compete in the World Club Championship. At worst his team are semi- professional.

Who the f**k chooses these for final selection?
They are all horrendous and the sooner they get someone like @pozbaird involved the better.
Agreed. Lobby the board! I hate the crossover neck either go round neck or v neck.
