Kindle fire HD and you can get the dafty cases
Usually a black Friday deal tooMy two have been through a couple of these. Fantastic though. Use the big dafty cases. I don't like them to over use them but it seems to calm my youngest with autism right down if I need to get on with cooking, ironing or that. Crazy how quick they were experts of YouTube.
My youngest decided he wanted his tablet washed along with the dishes and chucked it in the kitchen sink after I'd filled it to do the the dishes. Gubbed after that. Found I've had to replace them every year but usually there's a deal at £30 down from £50.

The young number 7 for QotS looks a good player. I also thought Robby McCrorie was as good a goalkeeper I've seen this season. Confident collecting, few good stops and distribution.
Turner is a right clever player. Feels like we've signed Alex Burke again but with legs.
Starting Dow, Kiltie, Nisbet and Ryan chances are always going to be created.
When SC first came in and defending a lead we'd see teams invited to attack and then trying to sit organised. I thought the way the game was seen out was much improved, but then the game could have lasted all night and QotS not score.
Looks like the management have settled on a system and team, things looking up.

Next? Unfortunately a trip to Tannadice after this one.

Aye, I had a look around on Google there. Perfectly normal behaviour. Not my finest hour.
F for fanny.

Is that a normal thing to do? I thought it was only for pilots and the army.

Middle aged men wearing rock tour t-shirts, television or film t-shirts or other 'quirky' t-shirts.
Of course the biggest offender; the full grown adult wearing a replica strip usually on holiday.

So this was on last night at the Comedy Club in Manchester.
It was hosted by Charlie Higson and was just him asking Paul and Bob about the TV series and the three of them having a chat.
It was exactly what you would expect from brilliant, funny guys.
Charlie started it off by asking them how the series got off the ground with both Bob and Paul going off on long rambling hilarious stories about life, death, food and heart surgeons. They also had a bit of serious chat about fishing, if it is cruel to fish, the state of rivers and the behaviour of some water companies.
They clearly enjoyed themselves, they were all hysterically laughing at each other's jokes and having a dig at one another. They seemed disappointed when it was time to finish though they had been chatting for an hour and a half.
Highlights were Charlie and Paul doing a quick Ted and Ralph routine, Bob giving his top three course heart healthy menu in the voice of Peter Beardsley (thought Paul was going to collapse at this) and Paul doing Smashy then Rowley Birkin from the Fast Show.
Both Charlie and Paul love the Athletico Mince podcasts and did some impressions of their favourite characters.
Bob made the whole thing tick though, he comes out with such random shite that the other two couldn't stop laughing at and he just keeps going.
He asked if it was true that in China every person had to kill a fly each day amongst other completely pointless questions.
I was one of the lucky 50 of 500 there that had a sticker in my book and got a photo with the 3 of them at the end of it.
Best 90 mins of the year though some might say being a Dee that it didn't have much competition.
I noticed that the full show has been put up on YouTube. Not sure if it's by official sources and not sure how long it will remain.

Couple of nice events this week.
My youngest has autism, we have never seen him acknowledge other kids (except his brother now and again) nevermind speak to another child. He was at the soft play and I overheard a little boy ask him his name and my son replied. It'll sound like a small thing but it's a huge success for him, I could feel myself welling up.
Missed the first 10 mins of the Dunfermline game on Saturday when my eldest's wobbly front tooth fell out into his pie. Blood all over the pie and searching through the mince for the tooth. Away to clean him up and he makes me get him a replacement pie, had a mind to get a receipt and leave that out for the tooth fairy as well.

We'll scud them, they're pisher than us.
Was going to make the trip if we had backed up the result against Partick Thistle on Saturday there. Away fixtures starting to be greeted with apathy already.

League opener in August 1987. Dunfermline's first ever Premier Divison fixture. A 3-3 draw with Hibs in front of crowd of 13,500. I was 13 months old so obviously I have no recollection.
I'm not sure how regularly I attended from then but my first memory of being at the football was the play off at East End Park against Aberdeen at the end of 94/95 season.

Lewis Martin made one error, he was likely still MoM. I thought we were solid defensively. Couldn't really see Alloa splitting the defense at any stage. The only way they could score was the wonder goal.
Unsure what game someone was watching to make the statement we were second best for large parts of the game.
Created more than enough clear cut chances to win the game comfortably.

Looks to me that Gina is some sort of informant to the Fascists and Billy Boys after there being suggestion that Mosley and Gina know each other during the ballet performance. And possibly thwarting Tommy's plans was what her and Michael called 'Plan B'.
Disappointed Aberama and Barney were killed off, they had a lot of potential as frenzied mad men. Could do with Michael getting done in.
Underwhelming end to the series.

Thistle to win, Crawford apologists to say a good run is just around the corner.
2-0 Thistle for me. With Dunfermline finally sparking into life against Alloa next weekend.

Ferguson is a p***k, give that budget and squad to Courts and he would do just as well if not better.
I think that was the point of his appointment. Would they have this squad? Signing for Barry Ferguson is different from signing for Tam Courts. I'm quite looking forward to watching them on the telly tonigh.

Looking forward to seeing Barney go tits on the outside.
I'm hopeful for a new level of a gory end for Jimmy McCavern. I'm still not sure whether I expect it to be at the hands of Arthur or Aberama.

Or that you pish out the back door if it's late at night.
Do you bother to take the dishes out of it?

Can you not put it on the wall? A week after my daughter took her first steps my tele got put up, out of reach.
Too late for this one. Next one though that's definitely the plan.

Reality is that everyone is just winging it and hoping for the best.
Absolutely the best thing you'll ever do though.

Hey you!
Yes you!
Do you like not sleeping?
Do you like always being tired?
Do you like an empty bank account?
Do you like putting away all your nice things for a decade?
If you answered yes to all of the above then you're going to love babies!
Just kidding, well no I'm not but it's still worth it, congrats

As a child, in the days before Champ Manager was a thing, I used to play a football simulation game through the past and was randomly assigned AS Bari who were in Serie A at the time. I still keep an eye out for their results every now and again. Not sure how they compare in "size" to Motherwell tbh.
Average sized club in Italy, usually attracting 15k - 20k in the lower divisions as they are now, but likely the biggest club down there.
In another world somewhere there is a wee Italian guy telling the internet how he follows a wee team from Scotland called Motherwell.

I have a 6 year old who is absolutely football daft.
He plays football how you would remember it being played 20+ years ago, everywhere and anywhere. If he's walking past you without a ball he stills drops a shoulder to get round you, even when we are walking round Asda I've to put an imaginary pass into him and he'll give me some stick if he deems I've misplaced it. When I was 6 I went to Dunfermline games with my dad I would stand and play with my toy cars on the red barriers in the terracing that is now the Norrie, my son works out the formations that they are playing, who is playing where and what he'd do instead while speaking in FIFA language calling Paul Paton a CDM and trying to work out with if Josh Edwards is a LB or LWB.
At the minute the cost for him to play football I would call substantial. He's around £300 for the year at a mini academy at Livingston paid in 3 installments. That covers two hourly sessions a week. there's a couple of other benefits that we don't use. My wife drops him off and I pick him work as it coincides to when I finish work so I don't have an opinion on the quality but it is his highlight of the week. He does use any space he can, grass, concrete, wherever, to kick a ball around whenever he can. I definitely don't need to pay that money for him to play football.
Looking to get him into one of the local 2013 teams, I don't know the cost of these nowadays. £2 or £3 a week subs when it was me 20/25 years ago.

Pretty much back to normal. Slight tenderness at the back of the left one, but that's all that's remaining.
The NHS don't really tell you what's normal and what is abnormal which leaves, what I'd say, is a week long period of looking at them and thinking 'there's no way that's normal'. That week has been the worst of it though.

Dundee FC vs Dunfermline Athletic
in Scottish Championship General Chatter

Too close to christmas for me to spend money on a trip up to Dundee. Feeling fairly confident, I imagine any team in the division would be worried about a Dow, Kiltie and Nisbet attacking unit just now. Nisbet must be looking forward to a similar game as Saturday against another hopeless huddie in Jordon Forster.
Realistically a draw is an acceptable result but it's a great opportunity.
