Depends , if we can turn pressure into goals we will be in the game. It’s been our issue so far , jings a 2-0 home win vs stenhousemuir should have been at least 5 and possibly more . Young lads need a break in front of goal and we will really be away.
That said I,m guessing Stirling pose more of a threat so we need to look to the back 4 as well.

UK Government providing extra funding for GP’s to bring in locums for more facevto face appointments.
great plan. We have a finite number of GP’s. Where will these extra GP’s come from to even start clearing the backlog?
We could train HGV drivers to do it , there is a plethora of those ….

Apart from the obvious smoke/iodine flavours, the only ones i've ever picked out would be vanilla, which i'd say you get off bourbon cask ones, and one time, I took a dram of something, fucked if I can mind what, and immediately went "Apples". Then I checked the sleeve and sure enough, it had apple on the notes. Thats the only time iv ever been impressed by my palate. All the rest of the time I just taste whisky.
Sweet, sweet whisky.
This
was chatting with a distiller who remarked he had a list of tasting notes that he chucks in randomly , as folk “expect” them , clootie dumpling. Engine oil, dunnage warehouse were a couple of them I remember

I’ve always struggled with “smooth” as a descriptor for drinks / tastes , it doesn’t convey anything g to me in terms of what the drink tastes like.
Balanced I get , sharp , nippy or uneven fine but what does smooth mean to the rest of you , just bland and easy drinking ?

I'd have gone for Ron Harris. Or even Eddie McCreadie.
Did an after dinner speech thing , years ago , Tommy Doc , was the main event , he was in the middle of his story and he talked about the “late” Ron Harris , some lad in the back pipes up “ he’s nae deid” , Tommy doc replies with a twinkle in his eye , “you obviously never played against him”

Then or now? I doubt there are many English these days who have heard of the 15 or 45. And those that have will know it was a Jacobite (re-)invasion rather than a Scottish revolt.
I think then there was a different attitude to nation anyway - wasn't there a Scots paper called the North Briton?
For a while in the early 1800’s there was an effort to effectively re brand Scotland as “north Britain” faded away in the latter half of that century , however there is still the north British hotel on Princes street as a reminder to us all

Ive got a 30yo Girvan from the Good Spirits Co 10th Birthday.
Lovely dram, about £90 a bottle. Still available and recommended!It’s a sample of that very dram , and it’s really good, generally old grain whiskies offer fantastic value ( but whisper it , don’t want the prices creeping up like malts have done )

The seabird with the Latin name Puffinus Puffinus is the Manx Shearwater.
Which was called the Manx puffin in the 17th Century.
Animals like the puffinus puffinus , the lupus lupus and all of this ilk are known collectively as tautonyms , my personal favourite , however is the lowland gorilla , who rejoices in gorilla gorillla gorilla .

Tullibardine Sovereign for Fathers day.
Any reviews?Pleasantly decent , not stellar and absolutely not pish , a good solid dram.
Nose is vanilla / get coconut flakes and some pear , sipping neat vanilla gets sweeter , like vanilla custard and there are nuts / almonds
in the finish is when the spice turns up , is black pepper , decent length of finish too
there you go good sir

Big jolly b*****d keeps eating the mince pies I leave out so the jury is still out...
Aye , he’s also been known to take the dram that is left out, must have a heck of a capacity if we all do that , no wonder he avoids the polis at ground level
