Doing both of those plus Coba, Uxmal, Valladolid, Chacchoben Tulum and Rio Secreto.
Phew, that's not a holiday, that's an ultramarathon!
Perhaps not coincidentally you'll be there for the start of the peak whale shark season, and very handily positioned for Isla Mujeres and Isla Contoi. Enjoy!!

2 weeks in Rivera Maya booked for start of July. Only been to Pacific Mexico so looking forward to visiting the different sights of the Yucatan.
Don't miss Chichen Itza. Dive the cenotes if you can. And don't drink TOO many tamarind margaritas, they're highly addictive. (Ask me how I know
)

SoT is an absolutely daft way to a judge how many goals should have been scored.
Aye, there's only one stat that really counts. 1-1 it is.

Well yes, but thats the point. The young Irish boy up front for Airdrie should have had four on his own. The one he got was his hardest chance. Standing about 3 yards out and not sticking his leg out to poke the ball in the empty net as it trundled past him being the highlight of his misses. That wont be in your shots stat. He never bothered to take one!
I get what youo mean, but the point, such as it was, was that you don't score 4 with just 2 shots on target.
xG might say 6-6, if you believe in such things, but there has to be a correction applied for the Airdrie factor.

Game is wide open. Could be about 4-4 so far.

You're never too old for road rage nonsense
Too right, it's a cumulative thing - the more such c***s you encounter over the years, the worse it gets.
If they made sidewinder missiles available as a factory-fitted option, I would be first in the queue.

Good to get the opinion of a medical professional. Thanks Doc.
As it happens I'm a nuclear scientist, not a medical doctor.

And this means that there will be people out there believing that she doesn't have cancer and its just to hide something else. Did Chuck fire all the late Queen's PR department or something? It's like Amateur hour for the Firm.
As recently as Monday they were adamant she'd be back at work after Easter. (I.e. next week!) Lying, incompetent chunts.

I think you're partly right - but what we have now is a situation where the rules and VAR are completely intertwined. The main contention at the moment generally is handball, which is the best example. The rule itself has been *completely* mangled to game ruining levels by IFAB, with defenders now running about with their hands behind their back and penalties given for a ball being blasted off someone's arm from 10cm away.
Yes.
37 minutes ago, Swello said:No matter how absurd the handball rule now is, it simply couldn't reach the level of genuine farce we're at without VAR - things are now being given that are practically impossible for referees to see with the naked eye and are 100% reliant on (a badly flawed implementation of) technology and an offsite referee.
Yes.

Hell, yes!

At half time on Wednesday we were staring at a possible no-points-from-six scenario which, as it turns out, would have seen us in 10th today, just three points above Ross County.
F**k THAT. parallel universe!

If he’s that insistent on missing a gilt edged chance to score he might also be Dessers. You never know.
Good point. Might be best to bank this one (no rhyming slang intended) before Sportscene starts

Yesterday I was behind a guy who did all of this and when he was done he actually went into the shop whilst leaving his car sitting in the only air space and then when he got back into his car he sat on his phone.
Go on, you know you want to!

Well Society vote results now out…
Sure it’s not the result most would have thought.
351 would not accept.
642 would accept
I'm not so surprised at the result: the more you looked at the option, the more ambiguous they became. However, I wasn't expecting that sort of margin between them, almost 2:1

I bought a cheap, adjustable opener from Fleabay for a couple of quid, it gets the job done for notched casebacks.
Those work well generally, but occasionally a back is on so tightly for whatever reason that two generic-shaped bits just aren't enough. I bought this three point tool recently to get the back off an old Caterpillar quartz watch that hadn't been opened for 20 years, and it did the trick nicely.

At the end of the day, though, unless you're going to need to do this regularly and are prepared to buy a whole bunch of different tools, you'll almost certainly be cheaper in the long run just paying someone else to do the job for you.

There are some nice looking tourbillons in the extensive Sugess range.
I tried SO hard to convince myself I didn’t need one, but once again my willpower was found wanting. In the end I went for their Breguet-inspired model with the floating tourbillon, roman numerals, blued hands, and Clous de Paris dial.
I’m glad I did, though, because it’s absolutely stunning and I could watch that tourbillon spin all day long. On a boringly practical note, it seems to be keeping near-perfect time too, if you like that in a watch.
The lighting on my own pictures doesn’t do it justice so I’ve included a snippet from the Sugess promotional video alongside an actual Breguet for comparison.

Without carrying out any actual analysis, it feels as though almost every single guest Jools Holland has ever had on his show qualifies.
Also, Jools Holland himself. If he was any further up himself he could lick his own tonsils.
