The actual state of Pie and Bovril.
Weird how so many 'neutral' fans copy-and-paste their great banter from Celtic fans' blogs etc. on here lol.

Life and Fate - Vasily Grossman
One of the best books I've ever read. It's set in WW2 Russia. Based on different characters' experiences across the battle of Stalingrad, Russian summer offensive, Moscow middle-classes, Soviet academia, and the creepy totalitarianism / bureaucracy which looms over it all. Amazing book.

I honestly believe that a significant constituency would welcome him back. If he was talking of ploughing in money, that constituency would be overwhelming.
Remember that King wasn't just welcomed back, but was hailed as a messiah. Wildly discredited figures like Johnson and that potless Murray have been back too. Walter Smith, he who in the words of Tom English, arrived at a funeral with a defibrillator after liquidation, became a puppet chairman and many subsequently wanted him as manager. The much hated Naismith was also courted.
Welcoming back Murray would also help with sustaining the myth that what befell Rangers was an external Act of God in Whyte.
This story might well be absolute bollocks of course. But don't underestimate the capacity of Rangers fans to duck any notion of principle, if it's perceived as being of advantage.
What a load of nonsense.
Honestly, take a break from whatever Celtic fans' blog you're currently donating towards.1 -
So any genuine tips for Bloodborne?
I had it previously on disc and traded it in because I couldn't stand getting molested every time I got past a section. Downloaded and played half an hour or so last night and can already see a difference, however I'm still on the section after beating the werewolf, there's just far too many enemies to take on - for my skills anyway.
I'm far from being any good at Bloodborne but def. stick with it. It's a good laugh, once you get past first couple of bosses.
I would say go for the axe as choice of weapon. Use the spin on the axe, and try to judge distance from enemies so both strikes hit - they all have pattern of attack, so getting some distance will let you observe when they will move forward / pattern etc.
When you've got multiple enemies use pebbles, for those that haven't seen you yet, to separate them so you only tackle one or two at a time.
For the bosses, def. just use your first few attempts to observe their attacks. This will let you know when to dodge and when to attack.
Also, use standard enemies to learn patterns for boss-fights as they tend to replicate what is required for the boss-fight in that level. Plus, explore areas to get shortcuts - there are loads of shortcuts to give you easier access to bosses.0 -
Got Netflix again a month ago and stumbled onto this - f***king hilarious.
We ended up finishing season 12 only just the other night. I've tried recommending it to friends but it is difficult to describe what makes it so funny. Charlie
As an aside, I've had 'Day Man' stuck in my head for about two weeks lol.0 -
That is maybe the best months lineup I've ever seen. Bloodborne is a gem but I can easily see folk not giving it a great chance. Great pairing though, if Bloodborne is too much R&C is almost a polar opposite, good stuff.
Aye, really good lineup. Bloodborne especially for folk that have not tried a 'souls' game will be worth it.
Looking forward to getting back into Bloodborne now with an expanded player-base. Plenty of invasions (and help) will be a good laugh.0 -
Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank for March.
Bloodborne is genuinely a brilliant game, one of the best I've played. Never played Ratchet & Clank but the reviews seem positive.
Also, rime was one of the games last month and still available 'til tomorrow. Def. worth downloading now if not done so, cracking wee game.0 -

I've been playing about a month and still don't have a clue what I'm doing
I stocked up on fuel about two weeks ago, but then it turned out the ship too heavy to star-jump as a result, so I've been trading stuff in my wee star system for a bit. Built up some credits by trading metals though, and think I'll buy a new ship soon.
Bumped into a couple of other players, who said 'hi', and then stumbled on the aftermath of a space-fight and scavenged some parts from the losing player that let me buid some mining stuff.
I'd suggest trading to build credits to upgrade ship and then see how it goes...

Cardiff City defender Declan John has arrived at Rangers' training base as he prepares to complete a loan move.
The twice-capped Welsh international has played in the English Premier League for the Bluebirds and was spotted arriving ahead of a medical.
Declan arrives at the Rangers Training Centre
Declan John profiled as Rangers target loan swoop for full back
He has now been offered an opportunity to reboot his career by working under Pedro Caixinha as he looks to rebuild the Gers squad.
The left-back will add depth to a position in which Rangers have heavily relied on captain Lee Wallace.

Life 8/10
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
A tiny bacteria-like creature is found on Mars and a spaceship is bringing it back to Earth (what could go wrong).
It is clearly based on Alien, but the effects are good and it creates decent tension (if you're not too concerned about plot-holes etc.)
I found it quite creepy and def. worth a go. It is set up well for a sequel.0 -
I enjoyed NMS for what it was (relaxed game to play while listening to podcasts/football). Not tempted to pick it up again though.
Mate in work recommended Elite Dangerous and it has been brilliant. It's really difficult though and involved (still not got a clue what I'm doing tbh) but I'd def. recommend it as a game if NMS started an itch...0 -
I think it's time for Miller to be kept on the bench for a bit. He's been great, but we're not benefitting from his effort.
There is maybe an argument for 3-5-2, with Pena in midfield getting forward, and Morales picking up from Herrera's hard-work up-front.0 -
... and done
Finished the main story and definitely in there with the best games I've played.
Got the best armour, but stuck with my original weapons and quite fancy jumping into new-game-plus to mess about with the different weapons etc.
Cracking game.0 -
Sorry for making you feel nauseous
It wasn't really about comparing those games, just that I hadn't got into recent big releases and types of games I usually enjoy.
Horizon has been brilliant in that respect. Reckon I'm on the final(ish) mission on the main story. It's a game I fancy I'll be giving a few more playthroughs once done.0 -
It was an enjoyable 90 mins even if Marseilles never got out of 2nd gear. Dorrans and Jack looked like they'd played together for years and Tavernier has clearly been on a 'how to do simple defending' course.
The main 'take away' though is that we put a bit of stick about. Last year we were bullied but I don't see any teams taking liberties with us in the forthcoming season.
Definitely. There seemed to be the shape of a good spine to the team with Alves, Cardoso - Dorrans, Jack - Herrera.0 -
Enjoyed that.
Good shape to the side and good link up in different areas.
Alves, Tav, Candeias, Cardoso looked good. Enjoyed Niko's play and a cracking goal. Dorrans and Jack were good in midfield. Herrera looks decent, and fancy he will be good to partner with Morelos.0
