  1. Update from the principality. Sticking to the new 20 mph default limits on most urban roads is causing unprecedented amounts of seethe from Audi, BMW and Range Rover drivers. It’s best when they lose patience and overtake and I smirk at them when I pull up beside them at the lights. Journey times completely unaffected by this, but some people struggle with the concept of limiting factors. I’d highly recommend the Scottish government doing this in the interest of annoying arseholes.
  2. Are you suggesting that if they want to pour shit on an inanimate replica of an old person it would be easier to go for Biden? Taking the message global
  3. 18 police for pouring shit on a statue. Seems sensible.
  4. Pretty sure some of those on the Livi honours page actually belong to Ferranti Thistle, who didn’t play at Meadowbank either. NFA FC
  5. The best not about that is the suggestion that Boris Johnson stood for something (other than a toast)
  6. In fairness to Tony Watt, I suspect he was directly asked "will Dundee United get relegated", to which he gave the only answer he could give. He could hardly say yes to that, could he? Lying is wrong
  7. You're all being very unfair. They've said they want to reform union laws to improve growth. Obviously this means that they'll give Unions a seat on the board and mandate arbitration like they do in high-productivity, low-deficit Germany right? They totally won't prosecute rabble rousers under spurious pretences and send in SPGs to beat the shit out of pickets.
  8. Tv coverage. Nick Robinson ended today's interview with Kwasi by saying that he was very brave to come on and had clearly learned a lesson. Brutal.
  9. Imagine getting bullied by Grant Shapps. Shitebags. And shitebags who've already shown their hand. Shit at economics. Shit at government. Shit at politics.
  10. I didn't bother with the gif because Derek looked sad. Unbelievable football knowledge here.
  11. It was a penalty but Miovski definitely made the most of it. I know you shouldn't judge by appearances but that Hibee twitter boy looks like he kicks kittens. Thought we were ok yesterday but the defence was giving me the fear. Richardson winning the ball to feed it to their attacker in loads of space, and Roos taking so long to kick it he got robbed were particular highlights. Thought Ramirez and Duncan looked good when they came on. Morris looks like he could do with going on loan in January. Kilmarnock were utter shite though so not getting carried away yet. Probably be next season before we win the league.
  12. The wife and kids have "Strictly" on again. It's like a migraine simulator. Unbearable.
  13. Rather Watkins in CM. He can cope with less space better. I mean, i'd rather it was McCrorie in there but there's no one else could play CB. Surely.
  14. The person in charge of colour coding at Election Maps UK needs sacked, booted in the balls, flayed then dunked in lemon juice.
  15. Hearts 0-1 Rangers Aberdeen 2 - 1 Kilmarnock Celtic 4 - 0 Motherwell Dundee Utd 1 - 0 St Johnstone Ross County 0 - 0 Hibs St Mirren 1 - 1 Livingston.
  16. The main thing that annoyed me was the lack of context. Like what a normal leaver rate is (turns out 7.7%) and whether there might be an impact of reversing out all the old or private nurses that rejoined the NHS for the covid effort. I don't generally like the news editorialising without presenting the relevant facts. I guess Today is a current affairs discussion show rather than strictly the news but the same applies. Give the audience the basic facts. The bias was more incidental to my general rage. Viewing it in terms of the total workforce could be valid. If they'd wanted to emphasise the difference they could equally validly have said that the leaver rate in England increased by over 50% more than the increase in Scotland. I'd have been equally as suspicious of that sort of reporting.
  17. Today program : one in nine nurses left NHS last year in England. The proportion wasn't much lower in Scotland. Why not just say the proportions? I've checked the source and it's 12.5% in England and 10.7% in Scotland. That's a 15% difference. Is that "not much?" Obviously the BBC is usually innumerate but heading off the possibility of an unfavourable comparison seems deliberate.
  18. Too much negativity on here. We're going to walk this. I'm going to have some humorous gifs lined up of bottles crashing, just for Derek. We'll concede no doubt but it won't matter. 4-1
