That's terrible news about Andy P - I didn't know him personally but he always came across really well. What sort of age was he? For those that didn't know about it, there's a thread about MadWullie's sad passing in the General Nonsense forum with a link to a Just Giving page for a charity which provides special days out for people with life threatening illness.

I did have a laugh at that as well. Glad to hear it's not just me that finds the loo is sometimes the only place to get peace and quiet in a family home.

Terrible news and my heart goes out to you and your family. I didn't know him but recognised him from Motherwell games. I don't think he posted much on the Motherwell thread but enjoyed his contributions to other threads. It's amazing that he was making us all laugh so recently (particularly on the Infuriating Things thread which you've obviously heard about) while going through so much pain in his own life.

Really good show last night and the Spanish 500 miles was great.

A lot of interesting beers on the go tonight! I've not posted on here much recently as I couldn't get photos to load (it's not quite the same without it) but seem to have got it sorted. Vocation's Naughty and Nice (chocolate stout from my Beer 52 Yorkshire box) - lovely smooth stout, rich and very drinkable.

What age is she now? I'm sure it'll be mind-boggling.

Said goodbye to a bottle of Bunnahabhain Stiureadair with a generous measure while watching A View From The Euros tonight. Not quite as nice as their 12yo I finished a few weeks ago but still lovely stuff.

Guy who went to Kazakhstan is punching.

I knew someone would be able to correct me! Wasn't sure if we'd had anyone playing for NI or the Republic- wasn't thinking of Namibia!

Probably one for the Terrible Journalism thread but that's got us being of the "participant's" (with an apostrophe- sic). Anyway, Euros start tonight- looking forward to seeing Motherwell players take part in a major international competition for the first time in 27 years (unless anyone can correct me). I'm going on the basis that Michael McGlinchey wasn't our player when playing for NZ.

This was a pretty big campervan and obviously had the power to go with it. I was in a line of traffic, evenly spaced and going about 50-55mph generally and a wee bit faster on some of the straighter sections but there's very little scope for overtaking on that stretch without taking risks.

They're building a Costa and Burger King in Halbeath. Does that count as gentrification?

My train journey from the North of Glasgow goes through the tunnel to get to Queen Street. Does that make me a Teuchter?

Ian Crocker seemed to take an unexpected level of joy out of people leaving early and missing the comeback.

I'm half way through The Book Thief and also really enjoying it. I can see where you're coming from regarding the tears- it's already pretty depressing (with some black humour) and I can tell it's not going to get any cheerier.

He said he thought they had the game won and then slaughtered the players for thinking they had the game won!

I recently read Kintyre businesses are trying to launch an equivalent tourist route there - the Kintyre 66. The A83 to Campbeltown is a good road but the B road on the east side of totally unsuitable - single track with hairpin bends that the campervans will come a cropper on. That reminds me, coming back from Argyll a few weekends ago, I'd just left Inveraray and saw in my mirror a campervan overtaking the car behind me. He overtook me shortly later and then proceeded to overtake another few cars before going past another campervan and disappearing into the distance. Nothing wrong with a campervan overtaking but some of the manoeuvres were downright dangerous and there was no way he could see round upcoming bends to know the road was clear.

I was at both those games. Our equaliser at Ibrox was a late penalty from another idiotic challenge from the keeper. Murphy wasn't wiped out by the challenge but lost his balance trying to hurdle the goalie. I found it quite funny to see Hughes assistant at Hibs was Brian Rice and Hughes' interview after the game was an absolute car crash of contradictions.

Sky is showing the 6-6 Hibs game on SPFL Greatest Hits just now. Full game on until 4.30pm - could probably skip the next hour.

Which one?[emoji6] It's pretty obvious where we got our inspiration for the fluorescent yellow one that Capt Oats posted above.

That top instantly makes me think of Ally Mauchlen, Gary Mac and Graeme Forbes - our original 'psycho'.

You had me confused with that one but I live in Glasgow and then remembered everyone else is allowed to do that sort of thing. Is he local anyway or is everyone just going to put 2 and 2 together and decide he's signing even if he's just meeting a few mates for beers?

The detour to the McDonald's on Maryhill Road isn't very scenic! Unfortunately it's going to be in place for ages.

The League Cup game against Queen's Park on Wednesday 14th July is now going to be at Firhill. Really hope we're allowed in for that one.
