They came 3rd in the byelection, 117 votes behind the Tories. Had they squeaked past them, I reckon the media froth about these swivel-eyed loons would have gone into overdrive.

If someone isn't mocking up John Swinney and Kate Forbes in the style of the American Gothic painting, then there is a trick being missed...
OK, I found an AI painting tool online and asked it to produce this.
I don't think it understood.

D'oh! I meant Sky Sports and Sky Cinema

On @throbber, the wife was watching this Australian show called Heartbreak High on Netflix. One guy drew a giant penis on a rugby pitch with petrol and set it alight. Made me think of him.

With Virgin Media, last time I signed up to them they gave me something like an £80 a month discount if I took out an O2 phone package.. That costs £30 a month. Got a sim card sitting in a drawer.
I'm paying £91 a month for TV, broadband, landline, sky cinema, sky movies, plus this £30 mobile contract. So £121 in total for the lot.

I must admit a soft spot for Queen, and I think it is because I remember them when they were on the go. Talking about a band before you were born, there is a disconnect. Maybe why the coffin dodgers on here love the Beatles and I don't.
The first album I remember listening to was A Kind of Magic. I was 7 or 8 and my brother had this on cassette. This, along with Now 6 and Status Quo's In The Army Now.
I loved AKOM. I still do. Innuendo was a masterpiece, then shortly after this Freddie died and we had the whole phenomenon of Greatest Hits 2, Christmas Number 1 and Wayne's World. All this I remember. For anyone born after, say, 1990 they are just history.
As an aside, I watched Highlander again recently. Surely the best soundtrack ever, that became A Kind of Magic. So many great songs, and gives the album context (Who Wants To Live Forever etc).

I'm more and more certain the general election will be in January, for one simple reason.
"Rishi Sunak: British Prime Minister, 2022-2025" looks better on his CV/history books.

Was going to post this on the rugby league thread, but deserves a bigger audience
NRL players are a different breed.
We have a Rugby League thread?

I can't stand the "unelected First/Prime Minister" meme that seems to be trotted out more now. We have a Parliamentary system. Every party who has been in government in any part of the UK has changed leader at some point and not had an immediate general election - SNP when moving from Salmond to Sturgeon to Yousaf and now to Swinney or Forbes; Tories from Thatcher to Major and then Cameron to May to Johnson to Truss to Sunak; Labour going from Blair to Brown and even from Harold Wilson to Jim Callaghan if you want to go old school.
If we look at the general elections of 2015, 2017, 2019 in each case the Tories changed their leader after winning an election. Very unstable.

I'm sure when I took my dad to see The Eagles at Hampden (about 2006?) he did it live as well.
edit: no, it was 2009
I saw the Eagles at Hampden in 2001, and he played it there.

I go to parties sometimes until four, it’s hard to leave when you can’t find the door.
Love that song!
Seen it played live, too - brilliant.

You are correct, the pressley era was truly the dullest in my lifetime, but that generally was scottish football lowest ebb in living memory. The malaise ran from top to bottom.
Scottish football in general has come on so far from then
And for the hibs semi in 15, we were in the south stand away from the main body across from us. It was shite.
I see your Pressley and raise you John Lambie.
Utterly shafted us, with his pish anti-football. As a kid who went regularly this was my first experience of utter dross. Even Eamonn Bannan was better.

But only if the workers want them! It's not like they'll be made aware that a failure to sign their rights away will result in them losing their jobs or anything.
You're being very cynical. This is all about flexibility for workers who don't want or need trivial things like guaranteed money to live on. We can trust employers to treat their staff fairly in this matter, as in all things.
Like when security guards "wanted" to work 80 hour weeks to avoid the Working Time Directive.

I only posted it because i seen it in an episode of swat
Female swat officer kidnapped by mexican police, guy starts digging her grave, she's pleading for her life, he's telling her she needs to be silenced etc etc
She gets an upper hand, knocks him to the ground, knocks gun away from bad guy, then proceeds to leave gun and said psychotic mexican police guy instead of taking the gun and holding him hostage or anything
Usually its fucking ridiculous, but when a swat officer did it i think i missed the next 5 minutes just laughing about it and fucking around online instead
24 is better.
I am pretty sure that Jack Bauer had a heart attack after being exposed to a toxin, and a couple of hours later was fist fighting a terrorist.
