The MIL is coming to visit, and I have some money stuck on US Amazon, so I thought I'd buy some films and get them sent to her to bring with. The wife forgot to tell her about this plan, despite several askings.
One of the DVDs arrived today. Apparently it went straight in the bin and she contacted Amazon to complain about being sent unsolicited filth [emoji23]

This is over-egged (and who says we Jags supporters can't be drama queens?), but actually expresses the two problems which any new structure will have to cope with: allowing the emergence of majority opinion to make strategic decisions and also allowing a minority view to be expressed. My view is that we can manage those problems with reasonable success.
Most football clubs in the UK don't operate that way. Instead of adopting decision-making by a broader fanbase and growing used to it, their structures are still based on the small factory-owners' approach from the century before last: what we say goes, because we own you. The fear of entering a different, more inclusive era is, at times, almost palpable, but surely the old ways are increasingly inappropriate. They almost destroyed this football club in the time of STJ; another, ostensibly more successful, club south of the Clyde fared even worse; yet another, after trying to find a harbour in various places, has been stranded away from Glasgow and its original fanbase. For the time being, we can relax, knowing that funds are not going to dry up even although there will be financial and personal challenges as a new model is introduced and adapted.
Regardless of the eventual structure, strategic decisions will go wrong sometimes. Others have fared worse: Bayern München had a tax evader as its President; Barça has staggering amounts of debt, with nobody held accountable. Scottish and English football clubs run by businessmen collapse from time to time. For our club's long-term future, it may well be more important that we have funding for the academy. We have a committed manager, a settled home and the glimmerings of a long-term future rather than just racing to reach the end of this or the next season without going insolvent. Little of that is vulnerable to fans' bad or good decision-making.
Let focus on multimillionaire clubs like Bayern München and Barça later.I want to know if Low and her wee pals are going to be part of the long term board or not.

Today in 1620, an English ship dropped anchor off the coast of what is now Massachusetts and the passengers set foot on American soil for the first time. The ship was called Mayflower.

As I'm back on sleepless night duties with a newborn I've been getting a rare opportunity to watch whatever the f**k I like on the TV (..at 3am).
Sat and watch Terminator 2: Special Edition which I hadn't seen before. The extra and lengthend scenes don't add a huge amount to the film.
I've always liked T2, but think the original is superior. I realised that what bugs me about T2 is that it's partly responsible for the decline in quality of the film's that follow. Much of that is trying to capture that lightning in a bottle that T2 was. We'd never seen anything like it when it was released.
My main gripe with it I've realised is that making the T800 a "goodie" from this film on has ruined the character. Arnie was a reliative unknown for the first film, but was well on the road to superstardom by the time T2 came about. Having him as the baddie again wouldn't play well with audiences.
Having the T800 as almost a comic sidekick is shite.
Still, T2 is still a great film in its own right, but has destroyed the franchise.
7.5/10
IMO T1 was a sci-fi horror movie, T2 and subsequent Terminator movies were action.
Would easily watch either but T2 maybe has the edge for me for the story line and better action.The subsequent movies are garbage.

Well that was the end of any shred of a chance of Corbyn gaining power.
What an absolutely abysmal performance. Repeatedly not answering the questions and at several points insisting that he wanted to answer a different question from the one posed.
When he DID answer, his responses were embarrassingly weak.
You know he was terrible when the Guardian can’t even spin it in his direction.0 -

That’s the team vs Partick in the 95/96 playoff final. The first season I started going to games. There are 9 or 10 names from that squad who were outstanding. Not necessarily saying in comparison to the current crop but it is a ridiculously strong side.Yet you still needed the referee's help to win.

Another from The Guardian, a photo essay of El Salvador , a country ruled by gangs. Pretty grim place.

My mate is from El Salvador.
He said they capture kids, kill them, cut them open, stuff drugs inside and then get woman to hold them as they smuggle it into the US.
