  1. I think the viewing figures were down to three regulars on the covid thread. Hard to see how people will die from this.
  2. Not itk at all, but in his signing interview on redtv he was scathing about artificial pitches (without being asked) and said they shouldn't be allowed in the top flight. Read into that what you will.
  3. He told a lovely story on a program all about himself of how he met his wife, when she was fifteen and he watched her go to school every day before making his move. I think he was a fair bit older as well.
  4. There's a shop in Truro that advertises a single product in its window, "throwing axes for children 8+" Just thought people might be interested in case they were trying to arm a medieval 9 year old.
  5. She should have. That's where the good guys live.
  6. Good, it is too long since there was a state sanctioned mass murder of foreign types.
  7. Finished Charles Stross's Delerium Brief last week. Interdimensional genital parasites, cowardly evangelists and civil service constitutional wrangling. Highly entertaining, although it missed a bit of the mundane detail that usually gives the Laundry series a real edge. Just finished Graeme Greene's End of the Affair. Fairly atypical for Greene in that i wasn't imagining the film as i read it. It's very reliant on internal dialogue and complex conflicting emotions. It seemed to be going as expected until the 5th part, where it becomes psychology v metaphysics and not obviously cynical. I usually find reading Greene's prose a real joy, stylistically speaking. I thought this was the best of his i've read, just flowing with images of people and ways of life with minimum effort.
  8. Amazed it was as long as that. Just didn't fit a la greg stewart.
  9. It's an easy change from the East Coast mainline next door. Should be feasible.
  10. I don't mean to be pedantic* but that train can't get to Scotland. Not unless they convert the hovercraft by adding rails. *i do
  11. Tell him something where you quote someone referring to you by name, like "the boss always says" monkman, do some work"" A woman at work very humanely did this for me when i forgot her name.
  12. You'll have to be extra nice in her dream tonight to make it up.
  13. I'm surprised he grew at all, they must have been secretly putting vitamins in monster munch all these years.
  14. I think you may be reading too much into this. I had a friend who didn't like vegetables to the extent that he seived the powder in pot noodles to remove the fragments of carrot.
  15. He refused chippy chips when we got a delivery to work. That's all i know, sorry.
  16. It gets on my nerves when i am selecting low quality fast food from a menu above the counter when through the magic of modern technology the menu turns into an advert for a couple of minutes. Kfc and subway are the worst for this.
  17. He doesn't like chips. I find it unsettling.
  18. There's a guy at my work who doesn't like "wet food". He doesn't like any soup, although i don't know if he's tried just the powder from a cupasoup by itself.
  19. Fairly sure it was straw, not shite.
  20. I admit to having allowed myself a small amount of optimism before that. I should know better. I thought McTominay and Forrest looked like an accident waiting to happen on the right of defence. No, really i did and that's not just hindsight. I actually thought our three in the middle of midfield worked quite well but never had an outball out wide. Thought Dykes was fantastic with his back to goal. He had one real opportunity to get in a goalscoring position (when marciano went for a wee wander) and hid right behind a defender. Thought the israelis were well organised and knew what they were supposed to be doing, very much unlike us. Another shitey slog of trying and failing to catch up awaits.
  21. Quite. Not looking forward to it tbh. I'm not making an argument pro or anti indy. I'm about as neutral as it gets. My limited point is that the SG policy on keeping Sterling would reduce their ability to deal with any deficit there may be.
  22. On a less flippant note though, inflationary full employment policies tend to suit Scotland's needs better than low inflation investors ' policies that suit SE England. I believe it was Eddy George who said that the employment cost of low inflation in Scotland was worth it for the benefit to London. Ok, that was before central bank independence but i' d stake my house on that being the BoE view for evermore.
