  1. Yep, got that. I think that might be the analogy I need to work it out though. If I toss ten coins, what is my chance of getting one heads? Is that the analogous question?
  2. It's just chicken of the cave. Settle. Those look like fruit bat's which live in trees. They're a bit more porky and gamey, like wild boar.
  3. Maths question here. Apologies in advance. I understand that odds of winning the lottery are about 15m to one for each ticket. So if I buy 15 for the same draw my odds come down to 1m to one. If I buy one ticket for each of fifteen consecutive draws, are the odds of winning still 15m to one? The odds of winning each draw are that, but I can't get my head around what that means for the overall odds.
  4. Well spotted. If it was a word, it would be a good one.
  5. Don't see why not. He sounds hungry and confident. He thinks he's done enough to keep his place and I reckon he's entitled to say so. McInnes strikes me as the sort o manager that will tolerate this sort of spouting. I doubt he would tolerate an actual huff in the event that Main is dropped. He has looked incredibly pissed off when he has been hooked in earlier games. We could do with more of his attitude throughout the team. He does need to score more though.
  6. Dog social psychology is more higherarchical than ours. Dogs treat their owners as a dominant member of the pack. At the risk of anthropomorphism, that relationship is akin to one of love and respect. However, it is not mutual in the same way that love and respect from a fellow human more often is, or at least should be. Dog owners effectively exploit the social psychology of lower animals to receive that unconditional love/respect-like emotion. For the vast majority of dog owners who treat their dogs well and love them, it probably feels like a reciprocal relationship. But the dog doesn't love you because you love it, it would love you the same if you kicked it and fed it gruel. Because dogs have no self respect. Cats however are evil geniuses. I am comfortable with the mutual suspicion and distrust between me and the cat that lives at my house.
  7. Alan Warner--dead man's pedal Coming of age nostalgia featuring forensic recreation of a highly unionised British Rail and some beautifully realised class system angst. It's really really well written and textured. You can almost see most of the background and characters. The plot is a little bit episodic and rambling, but overall it was well worth reading. Charles Stross - atrocity archives The best of his I've read so far. The supernatural civil service is just a brilliant creation. Having worked in the actual civil service recognise the bureaucracy and the mix with fighting interdimensional demons puts both in stark relief and is comedy gold.
  8. The the Rangers complaining about referee and SFA conspiracy...
  9. It's compositionally quite poor, with his arms partially obscuring his face, looks a bit underexposed and should have less ugly c**t in it.
  10. Good categories I'm a 3 with 2 tendencies. Failure to beat Hamilton could convert me.
  11. People that start their decades in years ended with zero are the absolute dregs of society.
  12. The idea that anyone who attends Pittodrie could be described as a happy clapper is mind boggling
  13. I was having my nap on the train yesterday when a lightly supervised hyperactive 3 year old stood beside me repeatedly shouting "wake up!" I did, and couldn't get back to sleep. Wee c**t on a train.
  14. Are you suggesting that there might be a lack of editorial balance at redtv? An incredible suggestion, wholly without merit.
  15. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51400247 Anyone who has visited a Toby will sympathise. Anyone who has visited Caerphilly will be unsurprised.
  16. If you replaced the word "*****" with "jew" on rangersmedia you'd genuinely believe you were living in Germany in 1939. And replaced all the other words with their German equivalents.
