I am also an Audi driver and use a local Audi / VW specialist (AVW Autocare, Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh). They charge £55 per hour plus VAT, but they are excellent, have done some things FOC for me as well as saved me a pile of cash on items like the (fucking shitey) Audi Pre Sense faults. Not the pads, but another big job - last year I got charged £550+VAT for supply and fit of the Timing belt / Water pump kit. Based on what I know is the Main Dealer cost, that was pretty reasonable. Main dealers are daylight robbery.

Morbidly obese men hooked up with toothless hags smoking cleaners fags. What chance have those poor kids got?

I know they are knuckledraggers supreme, but that is just incredible. The only saving grace is that - based on the amount of body fat on show - a lot of them wont be making the 2024 version. What a fucking embarrassment to the country.

None of that is untrue, and it reflects my experience when I go to visit my Sister who stays in the west country. They have no idea (except my brother in law, who does actually follow scottish fitba as well and comes to ER when he is up here). But I think part of the point is that the likes of the BBC will give more coverage to the Womens Super League where ( apart from Arsenal who are a massive outlier ) their crowds are pretty small than Scottish Football.......except for the usual "Rangers won, or Celtic drew with" etc. I dont think that they are genuinely reflective of "the nation" and its regions relative interest in football. I get that Scotland is a small country relative to England, but I dont need to be a maths whizz to know that the relative amounts spent on football coverage dont add up.

There was some beautiful stuff bubbling under on the Tom English and Terrible Journalism thread about BBC radio coverage, but the main protagonist appears to have gone to sleep. Wasnt a great day overall for him...............

What a horrible arsehole. Theres kids on that flight scared by this tit. Lets hope he is dealt with "appropriately" by the local police.

Definitely not biting. ....or bothered

Vargas got given a 5 year contract.......did I hear that right?

Beating Rangers at Hampden isn't for everyone. Never mind Jambos. At least you have that 3rd place trophy............

3 minutes seems light even based on the subs.....

That Silva miss was hilarious

The issue with the Bond market (where the BoE had to intervene re pensions) caused mayhem in the UK Gilts market - in isolation that could be explained away, but there are knock on impacts for anyone remortgaging. Gilt Yields are used to determine the cost of Fixed Rate Mortgages, and because of their actions anyone remortgaging was struggling - because not only did rates go up, many providers pulled rates entirely because of the uncertainty. While its true to say that worldwide interest rates were rising, her and Kwarteng were pretty much responsible for average UK 2 and 5 year Fixed Rates jumping almost 2% in a month.

I think she is on a massive amount of prescription drugs. A complete moon unit.

Malky lives in Edinburgh (I think) He has been at Easter Road a few times recently........... I heard it might be for a different role, not manager.

Refs do have latitude to allow play to move on a bit (we see plenty times where play is brought back for a foul that ultimately didnt result in any sensible advantage). But surely you are not advocating that when he has seen an incident, the ref should just keep waiting until there is some "natural stop", NOT make a decision and just throw everything to the VAR box? Matches would be about 120 minutes long without added time !

Certainly what most neutrals I have spoken to are hoping for.

Although the 5 Live sports news this morning described it as an epic cup game, talked about the twists and turns until Celtic finally won it on pens. I dont disagree with your point, but I guess it probably depends on the quality of the journalist.

Harts a fucking moron

Brendan subbed on a defender too. Amusing

My, oh my oh my

Pointing past the spot

Can't be a pen if ref blew for a foul earlier in that move. Which he did.
