We have a driveway so don't use the street, and the car is in a spot usually only used for visitors to our semi-detached neighbour. There's nobody home there or on the other side. I think the right thing to do would be wait for morning, see if they need a push, and pretend not to be in.

Someone who parked their car on the street outside my house has left their sidelights on. It's been there for a couple of hours, and I've knocked on the door of my neighbours either side with neither of them having knowledge of the car owner. Have I done my neighbourly duty or should I extend my search outwards? A couple of times when I've done the same, a friendly local let me know so I didn't return to a flat battery.

Aye right enough. Sweeping changes after the horsing by Elbows Goodwin et al a few days earlier.

Tarks looks absolutely mortified.

To be fair, there was that one time when, floating on a cloud of hubris, he changed half the team for a match at McDiarmid after Christmas. If my Vietnam-style flashbacks aren't failing me, Calum Butcher did a Calum Butcher thing, Gabriel Batistuta turned up wearing Stevie May's shirt, and we got pumped 3-0.

Ooft, that game did not deserve a goal like that

It's great fun being in your 40s and getting up in the morning trying to guess which joints aren't going to work properly today.

I saved a lot of links at the time but most of them are broken. Here's one from the local police which covers some of the points. The unnamed 'off-duty army nurse' was named in other articles where her daughter got most of the credit. https://www.polfed.org/wilts/news/2018/salisbury-poisoning-gloves-failed-to-shield-sergeant-from-novichok/ https://news.sky.com/story/revealed-teenage-girl-was-first-to-help-skripals-after-novichok-poisoning-11612909

Teams are probably targeting Walker at this point. 2 similar goals conceded to Newcastle recently too. He relies on getting across very quickly but usually overcooks it and can't put the brakes on in time.

It's been a while since I revisited it, but a few things off the top of my head from the official version of events which make no sense at all: The 'novichok' perfume bottle which apparently killed Dawn Sturgess was said to be the one discarded by the Russians after applying it to the door handle. But Sturgess' partner said the bottle was new and wrapped in cellophane when he found it in a charity bin. The Skripals were of very different age, size and sex, yet somehow fell ill at exactly the same moment several hours after apparently touching the infected door handle. The first person to come across the incapacitated Skripals and give them first aid just happened to be the chief nurse of the British Army (that one is a cracker). Between touching the door handle and passing out hours later, the Skripals fed some ducks in a park, sharing bread with some kids, went for a pint, and had lunch in a pizza restaurant. No other people (or ducks) were affected by the nerve agent apparently all over their hands throughout this time. There were lots of other things surrounding the events that were hugely coincidental or outright suspicious, such as the fact there was a military chemical weapons response exercise going on in Salisbury at the time, it was a few miles down the road from Porton Down, the UK's chemical weapons lab, there was a media blackout order put on mentioning certain names such as Sergei Skripal's M16 handler Pablo Miller, who happened to serve in the army with the BBC's Mark Urban who had been interviewing Skripal for months for a book (which strangely ended up being about the poisoning event, which hadn't yet happened during the interviews). To sum up, I'm sure there were some sort of dodgy spy games going on and everyone on all sides was lying about everything. But 2 intelligence agents sent by Putin to kill a former spy by applying a nerve agent to his door handle almost certainly didn't happen.

Some kind of poisonings obviously happened, but the novichok in underpants script is laughable. Firstly because we're told any contact with a tiny amount of the stuff would kill hundreds of people, but (nearly) everyone who touches it ends up fine. Then, in his pants, really? There are easier ways which are less fun in the news. Nothing makes sense about the official Salisbury story. The only thing I'm pretty confident of is that version didn't happen. The 2 shady Russians were probably up to no good, but there are so many gaping holes in the story that plenty of others have covered.

Navalny is/was just a big psyop once the West took him under their wing. The novichok in the undies stunt is some of the most hilarious nonsense of the whole 'new Cold War' of the last decade. Spinning tales of secret agents deploying the deadliest toxin on Earth, which it turns out isn't very deadly, to peoples' boxer shorts and door handles is great for the rolling news cycle, but not so much for believability. The MSM would have us believe Navalny was on the verge of bringing Putin's regime down, while in reality he barely had 2% support, and the fact that he was still making TV appearances as you say gives an indication of how much of a threat he was considered to be.

This, and the fact that all of their wins have been by a single goal, are wild stats.

^^^ Found his specs.

More importantly, is Michael Stewart the last remaining man in the world who calls a throw in a shy or is this normal outside of my bubble?

More that we've been very wasteful. 3 or 4 glaring chances we should've done better with.

How on Earth has Walton ended up with the same punishment as Hamilton there

The Aldi Amrabat Liam Grimshaw is the perfect example of 100% commitment and 0% technique.

Thankfully my retinas have just recently recovered from the severe bleaching I gave them after watching Utd's last TV match.

The 'For a great Buick' graffiti is a classic comedy moment.

Don't worry America, if it isn't the old guy who doesn't know where he is or the other old guy facing multiple criminal convictions, there's always a Plan C.

Have a greenie. A very enjoyable T, and 40% cheaper for a round with a wine than certain places in St Andrews. Would recommend.

Ok I'm gonna need this one explained to me

Day oot with the Mrs in Leith. Greenie to any locals who recognise this fine establishment.
