Very much appreciate you taking the time to explain this in detail, although I’m more depressed than ever about any possible solution. I just can’t see there being a solution in our lifetimes.
One thing I still can’t understand though. Is the demilitarised area in Israel or Syria? If it is in Israel why would Syria fire on tractors ploughing land in Israel? Would it not simply be better ignored?
I think the point isn’t that Syria were in the right but that Israel wasn’t being as defensive as they pretended to be.
A tractor isn’t some neutral harmless thing if your opponent has a history of just taking land for farming. It’s not exactly a tank but it’s a pretty clear statement.

Are you not already supposed to get notes saying what you can do? We’ve had people signed off to come back part time only or limited hours before. Maybe that’s because they wanted to come back ?

A reread of the thread will quickly dispel this notion. I await chief conspirator @SandyCromarty coming along to tell us which individuals in MI5 are responsible for this obvious framing job.
No way in hell I’m subjecting myself voluntarily to this entire thread again.
I was meaning specifically since he got charged yesterday though. maybe there was and I missed it. I’m aware that the dissonance has been too much for some before.
i’m torn between thinking that it would be bad for trust in politics if he’s actually done it and thinking that it would be hilariously tinpot to skim donations for a campervan. (Not that I’m suggesting anything about the probability that anything untoward has occurred or not, you understand)

I think it's also hard to justify the claim that Hampden isn't a neutral venue for these fixtures just because it is in Glasgow, never mind label it a 'scandal'.
It’s not just because it’s Glasgow. Rangers and Celtic having ends kind of suggests that it’s more theirs than other teams’.
Not relevant to the neutrality really, but it’s also not just in Glasgow but on the far side of Glasgow for 90% of the population. At least Wembley is on the right side of London for the majority of travelling fans. All kind of adds to a perception that fans from outside Glasgow are a bit of an afterthought and not who it’s for.1 -

Supergrass and pearl jam
Beatles or Rolling Stones?
The Kinks
Beatles if I had to choose but Sympathy for the Devil is the best work by either.

Chilli mayonnaise, close the discussion
Would be a strong also ran for me, or a contributor to the first placed combo.
Supergrass or Soundgarden?
Pulp or Pearl Jam?

No offence, but anyone who likes Britpop has an unrefined brain, and simply just hasn't listened to enough music to develop any taste. It's babies first music. Liking Britpop as your primary style of music is the equivalent of the beetroot faced 50 year old who has to eat chips and tomato sauce with every meal.
I recognise that was your point, but given that grunge is exactly the same in being a loosely fitting geographic label, and you were happy to dismiss all grunge labelled bands collectively as "pap", it wasn't worth engaging with.
Thank you
If you’re suggesting that I would eat my chips with tomato sauce then I’m afraid I will have to take offence.
In miss world order:
3- just salt and vinegar
2- brown sauce
1- Chilli sauce (encona or Maggi), barbecue and a bit of mayo (maybe garlic or Chipotle variations).
If I had easy access to chip sauce this would be reconsidered.

Lord of the Rings.
Was quite excited, as a massive fan of Bad Taste and Brain Dead (less so The Frighteners but still) , to see what Peter Jackson would do with a budget.
Was up the front which gave the numerous scenes of those troll things running about an unpleasant stroby quality. Three fucking hours of slow, episodic rambling about elves and dwarves and wizards. Not in a fun way like labyrinth or krull.Finally got out and my mates were all like “wow that was brilliant!”. Then the public was all like “ wow that was brilliant.” I think it was then I decided I hated everyone.

Metallica were influenced by Oasis? Well then, no wonder all of their 90s albums were all stinking, awful rock shite. It all makes sense now.
Britpop doesn't have any highlights to speak of, so that is a moot point.
To be fair, Metallica were only intermittently decent to start off with.
My point was that Britpop isn’t and wasn’t actually a thing, so whether any of it is good or not is the moot point. But you’ve probably liquidised your brains with all that head banging so are struggling with basic concepts. Never mind.

The late 80s and 90s was a horrendous time period for rock music in Britain. It still hasn't recovered, probably never will at this point. Always made me laugh that people were dumfounded that yer Oasis etc never caught on the USA. The reason Britpop never caught on in America was because Britpop was, and remains, utter toilet. They were pumping out golden era hip-hop, grunge, post hardcore, starting all the extreme metal genres and all we could offer was a bunch of thick neds in parkas and their 3 chords on a guitar.
Oasis weren’t very popular there but they were influential. I remember seeing an interview with Metallica where they said that definitely maybe changed how they approached music.
There was a lot of variety in the acts that got collectively called “britpop” by some lazy journalists desperate to be part of a scene. While “toilet” might be a pretty good description of Menswear or Shed Seven, they’d little in common with the Boo Radleys or The Divine Comedy. Even if you also think they’re shite you can surely hear that they’re not the same thing.
If we’re lumping stuff in together and judging it by its low points, then “Golden Era Hip Hop” is shite because it’s all Puff Daddy covering Sting and Vanilla Ice and the 2live Crew.
we might be talking at cross purposes though because I thought most of grunge was pap and I don’t like metal, never mind the extreme stuff.
What postcrete has to do with anything I don’t know.

A cope about the cope. It's Copeception.
The folk that seem to be defending Murrell most vociferously (snp supporters) are also the people he's allegedly been stealing from. It's like 2012 in Scottish football all over again
I haven’t seen anyone on here defend him. There’s not even been much whataboutery.

You enjoy watching your team from the couch scared to lose.
If only I was a brave super fan.

I'm not having a go but there will be fans of every club in similar situations. My wife would be getting told to take a holiday
They aren't good they are shite. If Hearts and Hibs were for some bizarre reason playing a semi final of the Scottish in Aberdeen they'd take more than 8k as would both Dundee teams I'd imagine.
The incentive is its a cup semi final watching your team.
You are the world’s best fan. Well done, you may rub yourself smugly now.

Northern Uproar, that's a blast from the past, that made me go to YT and watch a couple of their music videos just now. Still going according to wiki, though their last album was in 2015.
They were on the last series of Dragons Den. One of the dragons thought they could be the next Oasis. Lol.

Today a lassie described a bit of equipment in her ward as looking like it was from 1982, because it looked “mega old” I was born in 1982, still see myself as relatively young, but according to that young whippersnapper, anything from that time is ancient and should be chucked on the scrap heap. The way that kids see anyone over 30. As below.
Surely it's not an absolute scale and is relative to expectations.
She might think you look less obsolete than electronics of the same age because mankind hasn't changed as quickly.
For example, i'd consider a cathedral from 1982 as a recent one but a pint of milk the same age as potentially likely to be past its best.

The Robinson to St Mirren appointment was largely met with positivity. He had a poor start and there was (bizarrely if not surprisingly) restlessness within a matter of weeks. The key difference there is that he was starting from the club being in a reasonably good position (relative to previous seasons).
There is an argument that your new manager will be cut a fair amount of slack as things are unlikely to get much worse. That, however, hinges on managed expectations. I'm already seeing posts about a cup win and top four finish within his first season. Perhaps not entirely unreasonable given the size of the club, budget available, etc, but I recall McInnes doing pretty well but it was never quite good enough for a substantial proportion of the Aberdeen support.
I would have thought that a solid top 6 finish and a tilt at Europe in his first season wouldn't be a failure, no?
Them's diddy standards

Dundee having a playable pitch and Aberdeen appointing a manager.
This has been far too competent a couple of days for Scottish football
These things come in threes. VAR to get something right?

I don't think someone's perception of you as a threat should dictate how you behave.
I disagree. It’s just showing consideration for other people. I’ll often cross a road or speed up so I’m not tailing a woman. That’s probably sexist or something but I’d rather be sexist than get pepper sprayed.

I don’t want to have unrealistic expectations so I’d settle for third next year and the title by 26/27.

On the plus side, we're now officially safe from automatic relegation.

They said death to Israel, not Jews. I daresay some might be antisemitic. But the logical leap from 'they criticise Israel, so therefore they must be antisemitic' is pretty ridiculous.
Exactly. The Iranian regime is a byword for religious tolerance.

They reintroduced bins on station platforms down here about ten years ago but they have to be see through. That'll fox em.

I've got an idea on how we can sort this all out. I'm going to email whoever chooses popes to see if they'll let Charlie have a shot. That way, all the weirdos will be on the same side.
Next up, Israel.
