Stephen Malkmus

Bet when girls ask him out he replies "Sorry, Ivor Lawton at the moment" and walks away like a boss.

Ivor Lawton = cool guy. Get him signed.

The club are acting like the last 10 years hasn't happened and that is cause for concern imo. - Hiring John Robertson and a general return to hiring ICT old boys, such as Danny McDonald etc. Even going back to Errea as kit supplier; - Not binning the likes of Brian Rice and Scott Kellacher who have played as big a part in our failings over the past couple of years as Hughes and Foran have; - Unimaginative signings (i.e. players who have proven to be average at best in the league we are trying to get out of); - Scouting the Highland League for players; - Complete lack of communication with loyal staff and players; - Not having a squad, or even a decent starting XI, at this point of pre-season. None of these things would be worrying on their own, but when taken as a group they serve to signal a regressive attitude which differs markedly from the approach which allowed us to bounce straight back into the top league last time we were relegated. I think the boardroom changes that have played out over the past few months have allowed the dinosaurs to get their hands on the levers of power which is only going to be bad for the club.

He only gets in their squad because he gives them all free paintings. Like honey to the tastebuds for vainglorious Instagram-generation footballers and staff.

"Consumers advised to avoid Macb bottled water as precaution" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-40367625 I'm sure Davie will be happy to receive your apologies.

I'm not too concerned about the majority of these uninspiring rumours given that they are mostly all defenders / keepers: areas in which we are well-covered already. We need some ballast to stick on the bench and they won't be starters.

Actually he's a free agent now. Dani Sanchez too please.

Who is BRE? Big Robert Earnshaw? I think we should get Nauris Bulvitis back. A bit part player in Plymouth's race to the League 2 title last year and Derek Adams may be happy to loan him out.

Our team for next season looks nae bad. I'm surprised that there haven't been noises about Draper leaving to be honest, he would be a great addition for the majority of Premiership clubs and would probably cost a pittance. Fon Williams Raven Warren McKay Tremarco Vigurs Draper Mulraney Polworth Doran Baird Bench: Esson, McNaughton, Boden, Stark, Macrae, Gilchrist Obvious weak points are up front (jobbers), out wide (crocks) and centre of defence (Warren verging on glue factory status and McKay not exactly reliable). I would be looking to add the following to that squad: - Either an out-and-out centre half or utility player in the mould of Louis Laing; - Backup creative central attacking midfielder (Shinniesta come home pls); - Two wide midfielders / wingers; - An actually decent striker. Highland League strikers and the like are fine to fill the bench but not to be anywhere near the starting squad.

I read something on the Reuters app the other day that Spain's three main parties were discussing / had formulated a joint strategy on Gibraltar since the Brexit vote but I can't find it now.

Straight after the vote: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36618796

Willie Rennie yesterday: “The situation with Gibraltar is just a taste of how an independent Scotland would be treated in any future negotiations. For the SNP to believe that Spain will simply bend over backwards and just waive Scotland into full EU or even Efta membership is delusional. The Gibraltar situation should be a hard lesson for the SNP that Spain will look after their own interest and that means making sure that nothing aids Catalonia’s bid for independence. Easy access for an independent Scotland into the EU would clearly be something the Spanish would not want.” Spanish Foreign Minister today: "If it happens legally and constitutionally, we would not block it."

I found the prices range from about £200 then there's a huge gap to the upper end models.

I just got a digital piano the other day. I played when I was younger but stopped before the end of primary school as I couldn't be arsed practicing. The stuff I learned really helped me when I started playing guitar and bass more recently and I'm really excited to get back into it as it's an incredibly rewarding and relaxing instrument to play. Hope to get a proper piano when I buy a house. If I were you I would learn to read sheet music as it will allow you to play far more interesting pieces. It won't take long to get the basics nailed down. And get a decent stool.

What is your ideal world and political system, banana?

The real embarrassment here is that Harambe thinks the pajamas quote he posted was included in the report.

That quote wasn't included in any of the briefs published by Buzzfeed. The pissing line is most likely nonsense but is one line of a 34 page document.

I see Donald has diplomatically recognised Taiwan by accident.

I'll retract my previous comment. The Lib Dems are pissing it

No chance of that, Goldsmith will piss it.

Good day at the tennis today. Never felt for a second that Murray was losing - an imperious performance.

Nishikori broken twice in the second set already. He seems hell bent on giving the fans the big Number 1 Showdown tomorrow night, good lad. Even more glad I got tickets now
