I would easily spend an hour in this shop in Inverness. In Inverness this shop below was the go to place for your punk and indie vinyl and or if you simply wanted to browse and listen to The Ramones or The Buzzcocks blasting out of the shop's speakers.

I first heard of Jack Rose in the music press in 2009 when he died at the age of only 38 from a heart attack. I come back to his music every now and then and I have just the one compilation album. His music is not the easiest to get hold of in physical formats but there are plenty of live shows on youtube. Going by the video above playing live he was right in his element.

Have a great Christmas everyone

Wishing you all and their hamster a happy Christmas. Cheers, David

Dodds has a clue - https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/inverness-boss-knows-which-players-arent-good-enough-for-hi-297742/ Does this mean a massive squad upgrade in January with players being freed? Players or manager or both who is to blame? Are we to blame?

Hold on we'll save you.

There's an ominous and ironic feel to our last four fixtures of the season. I had the same feeling when I saw our last fixture 2008/09 was Falkirk. Scenario - We will draw with Cove Rangers meaning they survive, then losing to Dundee at home as their fans celebrate the title and sing us cheerio. Get pumped 3-0 by Accies on their own carpet and the unsinkable jobby fans go mad daft as their team moves above us off the bottom in the table. Final nailbiter at home to Ayr while watching the text as Arbroath (already safe) against Hamilton who just need a draw or us not to win to survive for another few days until the playoffs. Penalty to Ayr! Getting into a relegation or play off battle with Hamilton has historically never ended well for us. Maybe the Dundee mafia plan is to hold onto Dodds thus waiting for Dunfermline to empty McPake around this time next year when they are bottom of the Championship while we are getting pumped 5-0 by Kelty f***ing Hearts in League 1. Dodds will need a blinder of a transfer window to turn this around, but its going to be all loans and free transfers, mostly youngsters via their management contacts and the usual well known journeymen who get passed around the clubs every window.

It helps if the clubs gives us a reason for the injury then its supposed to halt the opportunity for rumours and gossip to grow arms and legs. Unless those at the club have a history of misleading supporters, then the damage is already there and will be impossible to fix.

Meekings, Doran, McNaughton spent much of the season injured. The break up of the Warren - Meekings pairing in the center of defence was a huge blow. From then on it was mix and match with only McCart having signed on loan in the second half of the season looking the most at home in the center of defence than anyone else. Raven's legs had gone, he knew it , everyone knew it. Famous Welsh painter/artist Owain Fon Williams who seemed buckled for some reason was preferred to the reliable Esson. It is noted that when OFW was finally dropped for the last four games all of a sudden we started winning. What was it 3 out of 4 wins. Sometimes you just want to leave your seat go marching down that players tunnel and boot that home dressing room door off its hinges. Billy McKay joined on loan in January and apart from a spectacular winner against Fake Rangers he didn't pick up where he left off mainly because he spent much of the time on his ownsome up front with no one to feed him. Alex Fisher was an enigma, played 25 times that season, scored only 2 goals in 17 games in 2016, spent three months out, came back in April scored 2 against Motherwell, then scored in all the last three games including another 2 against Motherwell, who signed him. Yeah I have my suspicions about that one. Thought Anier was one of the most lazy footballers I've ever seen, at least Boden tried, watching the poor lad's have the confidence just gradually drain out of him was sad to watch. We also had too many similar players in midfield often playing at the same time with only Vigurs being anything close to an attack minded midfielder (basically Hughes had f**ked us before he left with his signings so there was even less money to use on wages). But those signings weren't any better than the ones who left in the summer and when the likes of McKay, King, McCart and Laing joined in 2017 the lifeboats were already being lowered into the sea. In the midfield it really Polworth, Vigurs and Tansey up until he signed that pre contract. Sometimes I never realised Draper was playing and Mulraney was too lightweight. There wasn't much else of note other than we were often getting bossed and over run in the midfield by supposedly worse teams like Hamilton Accies and Dundee. We also had Polworth falling out with supporters which was well documented on here, then we had Aberdeen waving a 3 year deal in front of Tansey, they signed him on a pre contract. Tansey who had been by far Hughes best signing suddenly stopped and every game since looked like he didn't want to be here. He should have been dropped, give someone else a shot. What does Foran do about it when a player just downs tools and can't be bothered any more? He keeps playing him. Tremarco who seized his chance the season before really came into his own this season, absolutely bust a gut and at times carried the team. The only one out of your list there who passed with flying colours. Other than that 19 year old Jamie McCart showed great potential, but generally that list was full of players who were either injured, couldn't be arsed anymore and looking to bail out and or were shoehorned into Foran's match tactics and left to get on with it. On top of it all Foran was out of his depth and for a former captain surprisingly seemed completely at sea with man management and given he pretty much was Terry Butcher's young apprentice he didn't have that same ruthless streak. However much of the blame lies squarely at the feet of those who ran the club. Far too many risks with the club's finances. Seeing a downturn trend in performance both on and off the pitch after winning the Scottish Cup and then appointing an inexperienced manager on a four year contract was madness, it was questioned back then and it is still questioned now. There could be simularities drawn from many of those then to where we are now. Thank f**k for Hamilton being more pish. [has a double check in rear view mirror just to be sure]

You're not suggesting a coincidence here?

Why were Devine, Harper and Shaw not playing last night? Is this more to add to the injury list? I know Devine had to play against Dundee while not fully fit.

Is this the beginning of the end of the Dundee mafia?

Who do we have left? - same players in the squad for the last home game with Dundee plus Billy McKay and with Mark Ridgers back in goal.

It is said that when the certain wind resistant residents of Chicago watched New York freeze solid in the film 'The Day After Tomorrow' there were calls of the people of New York being nothing but a bunch of pussies, ''this happens to Chicago every winter''?

Garrett : Who are you? Alias : That's a good question.

Choice on the outside but inside you would still identify as ginger. You can't get away from who you are.

Probably better that I moved this to the ICT thread, if you don't mind? Had a look at who is out of contract end of season - Deas, Devine, Cammy MacKay, Duffy, Barrett, Allardice, Hyde, Doran, Walsh, McKay, Sutherland, Samuels, Boyd and also there's Daniel MacKay returning to Hibs. It could leave Oakley as our only striker carrying over to next season. Who should we keep and who should leave?

Spotted this in one of the Aberdeenshire papers - Milton of Crathes near Banchory

Had a look back at the team selection from July and August and no Welsh, Walsh and Sutherland. We topped the table on the 22nd October after a slow start then the increasing injury list caught up with on pitch performances and it was 2 points in 5 games. This coincided with four teams going on undefeated runs. The gap between top and bottom doubled from 11 points when ICT topped the table to 22 points between top and bottom this weekend.

Yeah, a pan of macaroni pasta beckons, that would be yum. Lines are blurred on what constitutes a soup, is it down to ingredients, viscosity or simply because someone decided that dish should be called a soup. Is a soup somewhere inbetween tea and a casserole or does it depend also on whether you eat it from a dinner plate or a bowl or a mug, with a fork, chopsticks or a spoon? Marwood here has a bowl of coffee, yet to the eye of Withnail it's soup.

One lump or two? Added to chicken and broccoli. Probably goes well with some garlic buttered toast.
