Some shite being spoken about Friends this weekend. One woman on the radio was on about how he was "the star" and that the show "got better and better every year".

The very first movie to have its own dedicated website was Star Trek Generations.

It's a great picture but we're not in that clearly - folk next to us in the way a wee bit.

Just spotted this. My missus and I are in this photo, all blurry. It was a great goal from the angle we were sitting at, we could see the curve of the ball. Some strike!

On the food and drink - quick question. Has anybody ever had the doner kebab pie? And is it any good? I'm trying to convince Scott to come to a game with me and this pie might swing it. He has no interest in football at all but is a big fan of doner kebabs.

One request I would have following the game on Saturday. Can they not do something about the hot drinks? My bovril was fine but the wife had coffee that was just like sugary water. Rancid.

I'm just wondering when and how the hammer will fall.

Reminds me of this one

I never really got to the bottom of it. They just sent me a £12k bill. I phoned them and they apologised, and sent me a new bill for, I think, £1100 or so. A few more phone calls and finally they realised that I wasn't their customer. Sent me a bill for £0. I said that was fine but wanted completely off their system. In 2030 they'll probably send me another new bill. I'll call the Falkirk Herald when they do.

Actually, looking at the substance of the latest of his compo faces - last year this happened to me. Scottish power sent me a bill for £12k even though I stopped being their customer in 2015. I missed my chance of getting a compo face in the papers. Didn't even occur to me to ring the local press.

To me, a football club should be about far more than just how the first team does. It should be utterly linked to the local community. It should be a touchstone for locals to engage with, and they do help provide a huge sense of place. When football teams have disappeared the effect on the local community is far deeper than, say, if a shop closes or some other local business. When my kids were at primary school, Falkirk sent round their mascot to meet the kids and pose for photos. It was a great day for the kids. I guess this is a different perspective. For me, a club should be a vehicle for so much more locally than just boosting the starting 11 and results on the pitch. It's also one of the reasons I cannot get my head around people from towns and villages choosing to spend their money on the arse cheeks than their local team. Rangers and Celtic have done f**k all for the schools in Falkirk, yet there are loads of people from Falkirk spending their cash on strips/mugs/scarves/tickets etc that just boost their old firm club. This is getting away from the women's football point. I'm all for it, and kids football, kids go free days, community engagement, even your old folks charity cup.

Treetops and Shitehawks in the late 90s - our paths probably crossed!

I'd avoid the Falkirk heritage kit and go for the 1978 Colorado Caribous one instead

Labour’s Rachel Reeves denies apparent plagiarism over her new book Guilty

I mentioned earlier that I worked in Saddlers in Alloa. I loved it but didn't say why I quit. 16 years old, working behind the bar, two guys sitting at the bar in front of me. One guy necks his drink, finishes it, calmly turns to the guy next to him and glasses him. Drives the glass into his face, pushing it in from the base. . Blood spurting everywhere, including on me. I can see the guy's teeth through his cheek. The bouncers grabbed him, police and ambulance arrive soon after and the pub shuts. I was shaken to say the least, just a wee laddie. Then a few days later (I wasn't there) a guy went into the toilet and got his face slashed with a knife. I phoned the boss and quit - I was just shit scared of going back.

Very nice wee biscuit actually.

Some students are holding a bake sale for Palestine. Having a biscuit now in aid of them.

For a Dunfermline fan, he seems awfully obsessed with the Partick Thistle women's team.

This guy looks exactly like someone I used to share an office with. It's frightening how similar they are. very disconcerting.

Scott took his girlfriend to see this yesterday. He was not impressed one bit. Not only that, but the stingy bugger took his girl to Tesco for cinema snacks rather than shelling out on the cola/popcorn from Cineworld.
