Did you have to burst her bubble on Christmas eve?
I did hold back saying they are caused by pollution and are wrecking the ozone layer.

I was on the coach between Glasgow and Perth and I saw the Northern lights this morning. Amazing, never seen them before.
Pretty sure those are nacreous clouds and not the northern lights.

75p for a creme egg or 4 for £1.50.
Corner shop economics. You've got to love it.
If you only wanted one cream egg they've made you spend an extra 75p though.

Imagine taking the risk of losing your job for something like this?
Perhaps @Inanimate Carbon Rod will know. Do they lose their police pension as a result of this offence?

Must have varied school by school, because I did a Biology O in one year, 1988-89, and that is definitely graded alphabetically because I know it's one of my few A's
The weird thing about it is that the pre and post switch exams were pretty much exactly the same and still are.
My kids did Nationals and looking at past exam papers only English exam papers really were unrecognisable. All that change and disruption just to sit the same exam papers.
Geek that I am, I still got a top grade for the Biology exam when I had a go at it at home

We were meant to be doing standard grades 1984-86. At the end of 3rd year we were told it was back to O grades. All exam marking was numerical rather than alphabetical though.
All my non-Higher exams from 86-88 are O grades but graded numerically.

No, I have an Arithmetic O Grade.
I have an H Grade in Maths.
I guess i'm one of the very few that has a 1 in Arithmetic O grade.
At school during the initial failed introduction of standard grades but they kept the standard grade scoring system for O grades.

Having recently admitted to come out with the sentence "I dinnae ken if you ken Ken, ken?" I'm firmly in the yes camp.

Did it not make her sweat more?
Nope, strangely enough. One of the things it is meant to help with. Can't argue with the results.

Better half bought one for her night sweats because of menopause.
Really worked for her.

Most people are very likely to accept almost anything you pass them when whilst engaged in conversation with you. It's due to some psychological thing.
I tried this with my other half earlier and she only looked at what I handed her when there was a pause in conversation.

Was going to say that earlier but thought I was going mad seeing so many folk thinking that they just flagged late all the time.
Looks like they actually are flagging late all the time, however the official stance from the SFA suggests that they shouldn't be.

They don’t understand words at all, they understand sound. If you associate a sound with an action they learn that. It doesn’t matter if the sound is a whistle, an English word, a Swahili word or a made up jibberish sound. I use different words/sounds to get my dogs to do the same action. They know they only get rewarded by responding to their own sound.
If I told one of my dogs to sit in Swahili they’d probably do it while they try and figure out what it is I’m after because that’s their default position. If I tried to get them to do anything else with an untrained sound I’d have no chance.
Research shows they do understand words.
I get where you're coming from and generally inflection, irrespective of the word used, is likely to illicit a similar reaction from the dog.
An example being saying something in an excited way in gibberish will get a dog excited irrespective of what gibberish you might be saying.
Throw in a word they don't like and they will likely react differently though.
If I said "walk" in an excited way to my last pooch he'd be jumping all over the place. If I said "bibblety bobblety" in the same way he'd still be excited. If I said "bath" in the same excited way he'd bolt. Definitely could tell the difference in the words.

Officials have to flag late. They are told to do this. They don't make the rules, they just try to enforce them.
Were an official to flag early they'd find themselves marked down and demoted.
If a player was to be injured in a challenge and an official then flagged for offside then said injury isn't the fault of the official.
Not according to the SFA website from the start of this season.
Only in close calls should an assistant ref keep the flag down
In the case of a close offside call, the assistant referee will delay his/her flag. If a goal is scored and the assistant believes there was an offside offence, he/she will only raise the offside flag after the goal has been scored

I’ve never understood the “murderers and beasts running around yet they focus on x,y and z” line trotted out by folk
Were there any murders on Thursday night reported that these two coppers should’ve been looking into instead? (Other than Rangers Europa league hopes)
It's a lazy argument made by people who frequently break less serious laws.
They use it as a reason as to why doing this doesn't really matter.

Last night's dream consisted of me being one of the main camera crew to First Direction's first live performance.
Strange, as I would struggle to pickout a single member of that group from a line up and have no idea what any of their songs sound like.

"Gutted" would be an unsuitable headline then?
