  1. Does anyone know how the payment works for players who play i the Euros? There's a general assumption that we've used the payment to us to help persuade O'Donnell to stay but what happens with out of contract players?

    Does the payment go to the previous club or a new club if he's signed for one even if he's not kicked a ball for them? I'm talking in general principles but obviously this is likely to apply to Gallagher.

    Does the player need to play or does just being in the squad mean a payment is made? We've obviously not been in this situation for a long time (if ever) - does Coyne playing for Ireland in the World Cup count?

    Lots of questions here but I've no idea how it all works!

  2. You'd need around 20-22 20kg bags by my reckoning if going down that route. Should then be able to compare prices. If you're close enough to the builders merchant you can do a few runs and save on delivery fee.

    2.4x1.8x0.05=0.216m3
    0.216m3 x 2000kg/m3 = 432kg

  3. Rule of thumb: does he/she leave the world poorer for them not being in it, or improved?

    If the above does not produce a clear answer: did he/she try to improve the world when they were in it?

    For me, the likes of Thatcher fail on the first question, whereas Phil the Greek, and I feel I'm being generous here, gets to the second before failing.
    I've no great feelings one way or the other on him and was not involved in it but the effect the DOE Awards scheme has had on many people suggests to me he did try to make a difference.
  4. I love the levels of unconscious arsebaggery you encounter in some bottle shops. I'm just back from doing the rounds of the South Side and overheard the following in respect of some hazy IPA...I missed the name of the actual beer unfortunately:
    "Yeah, it's really funky tasting...it's got something on the finish that's a bit reminiscent of urinal cakes..."
    Which raises the question of outside of the odd wee daftie who did it as a teenage dare who actually knows what urinal cakes taste like?
    Did these dares involve tasting them before or after the cakes had been in the urinal?

    Anyway, enjoying Luminous Lights from 71 Brewing Co - one of my regular favourites from Lidl. JPEG_20210410_213922_722176228725914176.jpg
  5. They've taken the ill-informed stuff to a new level with their topic on who should get the 12000 or so Hampden tickets for the Euros. These tickets were sold by UEFA a few years ago and the number of tickets available will depend on the number of those tickets returned but not likely to be many (if any) left for the SFA.
