Cheers for that. I was a bit suspicious that BoS hadn't skimmed their share of the loot yet. I suppose once the transaction moves from pending the charge will show up.

110 Euros for 3 tickets, came out my account at £94.38. That's about the going rate. BoS don't seem to have added on any fees. Just depends on your bank or credit card provider I think.

Or you could have two European adventures!! It's a brave new world. This time yesterday I had no tickets for the Euros, now I have 3. Anything is possible if you just dream! (And have at least 12 loyalty points along with a very fast internet connection.)

Stadium ticket or not. It's all very exciting.

I think the problem probably stems from referring to them as 'Loyalty' points. it's a bit emotive. Bonus points would have been better. Or Clarkey Coupons. Or any other novel name that doesn't convey images of sacrifice, honour and blood-letting.

Wednesday 6th December: The Day That Never Happened.

Priority access should be given to those who haven't sent an email of entitlement, avoided the use of the word 'shambles' and didn't try to sneakily put the access code in at 12 anyway. Unfortunately, I'm guilty of 2 out of 3.

The majority of electrical power generation in the UK comes from burning natural gas in closed-cycle gas turbines, CCGTs. While Scotland may produce much of its power from wind, the distribution of electrical power is assumed to be a national issue rather than a regional one. I think those links point towards a bit of a PR stunt/propaganda by the EU. Natural gas is certainly not a renewable energy source, nor is it particularly 'green'. They make for an interesting read, thanks for posting them. CCGT technology goes some way to be as efficient as possible to extract as much electrical power when burning natural gas, but they still produce CO2, CO and many other polluting emissions associated with burning fossil fuels. https://www.ge.com/gas-power/resources/education/combined-cycle-power-plants https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/961490/Part_3_CHP_Environmental_BEIS_v03.pdf This link shows the current (no pun intended) and historic electrical power generation figures for all of the different generating technologies we have in the UK. Even on a windy evening CCGTs are still the predominant generation method, there's also a link on that page which shows similar data for France. Note their heavy reliance on nuclear technology, owned by the government, and providing electrical power for customers at a far cheaper rate than in this country: https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ Here is a link to the current CO2 emission levels by technology in the UK, as you can see, CCGTs produces the most CO2 by far, certainly not 'green' by any stretch of the imagination: https://gridwatch.co.uk/co2-emissions Energy generation in this country is a complete disaster, a disaster presided over by successive governments focussed on short term gains.

It must be awkward for some of these right-wing politicians when they go home and talk to the family: 'What were you debating today?' 'we were discussing your genitals and reproductive organs and who is best placed to tell you what to do with them.' 'Oh right, that's a bit weird. Can I not decide what is best for myself?" 'Don't be stupid, this isn't free-speech or gun ownership we're talking about here'.

Hopefully not stepping on any toes with the clips; the two best goals of the day for me! Afolabi for Airdrie's 5th and McGill for the 6th (no audio, MacOS screencap didn't capture it, although i'm sure it's easy to imagine!): https://streamable.com/6qfogz https://streamable.com/1xijzo

That's the bravest performance i've seen from an Airdrie side in years. The next two games will be crackers, and I think we'll have enough to go up. Can't wait for the trip to Firhill on Thursday now! Commiserations to Montrose, they had us on the ropes for the majority of normal time. It's an impossible game to analyse tactically, just two sets of players determined to win. Elated!

6-4! FFS.

Another gorgeous goal. Done now!

Finish!!

All good here.
