I heard this guy has had a look and they're just not in the sea.

In years to come, people will talk about all the various minor British actors who appeared in The Flash movie. Riddled with them, starting with one guy from Two Doors Down.

On the face of it, I would hate to be a full time professional footballer in the Championship/League One area. Contracts are usually just for a year. You might end up moving all round the country, switching teams each year or two. Fans often debating your salary (believing you should work for the absolute bare minimum). One bad tackle and you're done. Even if not, by your 30s you need to start thinking about the next career. It's not like being higher up in the food chain where players might have earned enough to buy a big nice house and tuck some aside. And then what? Very few go into coaching/management for life, so you're starting out again from hee haw.

That seemed to fix it for me, cheers

Best to stand directly underneath them and smack them with a long-handled brush. They'll soon know who's boss and buzz off to someone else's house.

So did Ronny Deila.

Sorry, Joe. here's the link to Dad of the Year: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/school-fines-dad-120-after-27477705

The Flash. Very, very enjoyable movie. Plenty of laughs and action.

School fines dad £120 after kids go on holiday - but he had no idea they'd gone No idea they'd gone because he has nothing to do with his own kids, apparently.

TORN DOWN We’re fuming after council ordered us to demolish our new extension – we’ve done nothing wrong & neighbours are furious No planning permission compo faces

Have a good one @SlipperyP

Interesting first post. Any thoughts on Scotland v Georgia?

Three things come to mind for me. 21 years ago I met my wife. I was seeing my best mate's sister-in-law at the time, and broke it off with her to pursue the missus. At the time nobody was happy with me. I lost friends (who had planned out this future for me with the other girl). My parents could not understand why I left a nice enough girl for a divorcee with two kids who was a couple of years older than me. But I just knew that she was the one for me. And in the process I gained two step-daughters who have now grown up. Spent all day Saturday with one, and she gave me a lovely Father's Day card; came home and the other one had sent me a gift via Amazon. And of course, our own two followed and I spent most of Sunday building a shed with my son, who is off to uni in September. Do I regret that choice I made, and the friends I lost? Not for a second. Second, like many folk on here, was changing jobs. In 2013 I was in a job that had a wonderful job title and from the outside looked like an amazing job. But I hated it, and I was bored. I applied for a lectureship, got it and this really is the job for me. I actually have a job that can make a difference in people's lives. I posted before about this, but a few weeks ago I managed to get a guy to graduate when the Chair of the exam board had decided that he was to resit a course. A full year extra at uni to sit an exam he missed through no fault of his own, graduating next year in a room full of strangers, and losing job opportunities now. Took me a full day, and arguing the finer points of some obscure uni policies to win my point, and yesterday he graduated at the ceremony with all his friends and is off into the world with his (hard-won) degree. Finally, 26th March, the last day I saw my dad when he was terribly ill. He died the next day. All I'll say is, we left nothing unsaid. My last words to him were that I loved him.

I'm through the looking glass now. I've no idea what is going on. The Prof called me on Teams on Friday. He had had his meeting with the Director to discuss his workload and in his words, "it didn't go well". The point he was making, apparently, is that the workload for everyone is too high, not just him. Specifically, me. He started listing the various jobs I do, then sent me a copy of the university sabbatical policy and suggested I apply for research leave. I'm assuming he's playing some kind of 5-dimensional chess here. No idea what these moves are about.

9 for Monday. Tom Collins.

Thoroughly enjoyed the start of season 2. Like last season, it has resisted the temptation to be very dark or focus on current "issues" like Discovery when it had a season on mental health. A few wee laughs, enjoyable plot, good characters. Star Trek done properly.

Jammy 10 for Friday

His statement

Yep and yep. I can check on the CO2 but we did buy it for curing mortar samples.

1000 litres. It's a Kambic one - we chucked out our TAS one as it was mince. Bought in 2021. Also has CO2 if you're looking to cure stuff in it.

Loads, mate. Calorimeter, viskomat, climate cabinet, Instron universal testing machine, geological microscope, XRF (these are mine), plus a whole bunch of other stuff for making cubes. Our cube crusher is from the 70s though!
