  1. That's New Bayview. Should never have moved to Lower Methil.
  2. That's a zombie sheep i believe. Shagging them just happens to be one way of administering the cure.
  3. We do, but not exclusively. Lots of our long passages of passing the ball backwards end up with Lewis for an aimless punt. If the ball is bobbling about in midfield then our preference is to just belt it back into the air and towards the opponents goal. That's not all we do, but we do it more than i'd like us to.
  4. Kamberi won't be playing tonight and Hornby looks quite tall so i think that predictability might continue for at least one more game of hoofball.
  5. Michael Fish was the only person i ever guessed right on through the keyhole, mainly because he had a barometer. I think that's an omen so 0-0.
  6. Today has been most unexpected. I think we're better off. Just Wilkos' exclusive to go.
  7. I'd like narcos a lot better if it had finished a series earlier. It was class though.
  8. We had to give them compensation, which can be higher than the development fee. There is no formula for compensation but it does have to take some specified factors into account. Development fee between premier clubs is £5,000 a year from 11-14 and £10,000 a year from 15-19. I think we could have got more than £200k at a tribunal, but who knows. Also £200k is "Daily Record understands" which could be shite.
  9. Still decent for the club to get £200k. The development fee would have been £70k. Presumably save a bit on wages with Ross recalled. I'd have preferred him to stay until the end of the season, but i'm not crying my eyes out.
  10. Derek’s put himself in a no lose position here. There's an incredibly low bar of "is he a better option than Main?". I think every striker i've seen so far in the premier clears that bar, except Kabamba.
  11. Technically, we don't have any debt to Rangers. We have a future obligation but the event on which that obligation is contingent hasn't occurred yet. So it's not an iou. If this seems overly pedantic, that's because it is.
  12. Dead Lies Dreaming by Charles Stross. Supernatural horror crime caper, part of Laundry files series but without any of the actual Laundry. Ok, pacey and quite entertaining but short on interesting ideas. Characters felt quite cartoonish and not hugely interesting, with one or two exceptions. The King in the North-The Pictish Realms of Fortriu and Ce, by Gordon Noble and Nicholas Evans. A compendium of articles mainly about a recent archeology/history project investigating the Northern Picts, covering the Black Isle down to Stonehaven. I'd thought i was going to be reading a history that i'd just not learned much about, but it turns out that this is proper Dark Ages stuff on the edges of history. There's also not a huge amount of archeology. It's not pop history but it's also not academic Journals, so it was quite easy to read (occasionally having to look up words, like "vallum") without having that tendency to fill in unknowable details. I really enjoyed it.
  13. You'd think godzilla has it in the bag but he's struggled against a moth before, and gorillas are harder than moths. OT, Is King Kong actually a freakishly big gorilla or a separate species?
  14. Burn after reading. Coen bros comedy of manners. The first 7/8 are pretty good. All star cast. John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton are top notch as the central couple of twats. Brad Pitt is enjoyably OTT as a dumb gym bunny. Frances Mcdormand steals the show as a superficially sympathetic lonely spinster, who is dangerously self obsessed. George clooney is also ott but in a really irritating way. The whole scene setting and plot unfolding is packed with good understared character comedy and a reasonably silly plot. The denouement and ending lets it all down though. What actually happens isn't bad, plot wise, but it just feels half arsed and rushed. 6/10
