Add Hawick and Preston to that. Not a single relegated side from the east is even in the EoS Premier. Also telling that Threave went down, were largely a top two side in the South, but can’t get out of West Division 3

Out of the three presumed tier 6 winners (Beith, Broxburn and Dalbeattie), only two can enter the playoff (I think) and for once the South team might not get trounced. In terms of the other playoff, Stranraer and Clyde both drew today while Bonnyrigg lost. So the three teams are separated by three points with two games remaining. Assuming they beat Buckie, do you think EK will fancy themselves against all of them?

Can’t decide who I want to get it up more: Netanyahu or Eran Zahavi

Diane Abbott: MP denied chance to speak during Commons race debate In a PMQs dominated by comments made by a Tory donor about her, Diane Abbott rose at least 46 times to ask a question but did not get to speak. Funny how the Speaker could “use his discretion” the other week but not today

Should have elaborated, apologies. At the moment the own brand 37.5% vodkas are £13.13. Absolut, a 38% mid-range vodka, is currently £22 or £18 with a Clubcard, so roughly two thirds and one third more than the minimum respectively. If Absolut remains the same percentage more expensive than the minimum as it currently is, the Clubcard price will be 25 quid which is heading towards “fancy-schmancy, am I f**k paying that” levels. More aimed at the person you were originally replying to, to say that it might not be as disproportionate as one thinks because I for one will be hopping over to the big ASDA in Carlisle if I’m that desperate for a half

A 70cl of Absolut vodka (38% ABV and mid-range, not “scummy”) is currently £18 in Tesco, and the minimum price will be £18.20 when MUP comes into effect, so it’s transcended that argument.

Both sides of the coin here. Just came across a snippet of Jeopardy! UK and all of the comments are abusing a trans woman who is a contestant. She’s replying to them all bamming them up and they’re getting even more ragin, fair play. Conversely, the aforementioned contestant on Jeopardy! UK is clearly a seasoned quizzer because she’s been on Mastermind and Only Connect before, and she’s a smug b*****d about it.

A lot of seppos on TikTok have latched onto “mind you” and butcher it. First off they’re emphasising it as “MIND you”, and secondly they use it to mean “remember”.

Not inquiry related but I was pondering this in the shower this morning: now that testing isn’t widespread, there’s a strong chance that I’ll have “had” COVID (once) fewer times in my life than I had chicken pox in the year 1999

Been pondering this one since I first read about it. If the dad has died the same day he last spoke to Social Work to arrange a visit for the following week then the outcome was unavoidable, we can all go off the radar during the proverbial perineum in between Christmas/New Year, however it took too long for them to be found surely? If it’s not his first heart attack of the year then there should have been alarm bells ringing when he didn’t answer the door, and further alarm bells when they’ve apparently contacted other family members and they’ve not heard from them either; how no party has followed up from there is baffling, surely someone else at least has a key? Don’t know what Social/Police protocols are for this sort of thing, but if they were followed correctly then they are severely lacking

So not only did Gretna abstain, they didn’t attend. Fair play to them for staying out of business that won’t be theirs next season

Because the song is called “Gecko”, I didn’t realise Becky Hill was singing “Get close with the lights down low”. Thought she was telling us about some horny lizards

Just passed the luckiest b*****ds ever. A timber wagon has pulled out to turn right onto an A road, and a Vauxhall Crossland ended up plowing into the side of the trailer. Either the car was trundling along at a sensible speed given it’s dark and rainingor they pulled off the emergency stop of a lifetime, because trailer only went as far as the end of the dashboard, no ambulances in attendance and all occupants standing at the side of the road. Police only shut the road for forty minutes

Just home from Frankfurt, let’s just say thank f**k for double pints in novelty cups

Anyone going to Frankfurt next weekend and, more importantly, know what the German washing up liquid is called? To not cause chaos at the fountain of *fairy* tales would be a massive missed opportunity imo In all seriousness I’m really looking forward to it, even if I’m sure we’re going to get scudded
