You know how computers etc can flag up your spelling or grammar etc? Would it be a good idea if they could critique and psychoanalyse your work? Must be possible these days. Maybe you’re trying to justify a war, chat someone up, reply to a client - anything really.

Your computer/phone could say “are you sure? “This bit here makes you look a bit needy”. 

"I see your current location is casualty again. Are you really sure painting and decorating is the career for you?"

Why were the Aberdeen and Killie games played tonight rather than tomorrow afternoon, given that neither were on the telly?

Theres been a few experimental ko recently (ours v St J the other week as well where we also did cheap ticket prices).

Its just the clubs looking to do something different, see if other audiences can be found at non-traditional days/times.

I assumed the Hibs - St. Johnstone one was just because it was the first VAR game.


Edit - Although if that was the case it would have made sense to televise it right enough!

We did a similar thing with St J last season toward the end of the season. There are pros and cons to Friday night football, I havent made my mind up yet - I think I prefer Saturdays tbqhwy.

What are people’s first thoughts when they hear the word ‘spam’?  I still think of cheap processed meat before I think of the technological usage.

Spam Curry.  The worst improvised meal in history.  Had it decades ago but can still taste it now.  Absolutely horrible.

Spam works surprisingly well in stir fry

The Hawaiians are still big on it. Spam musubi is like sushi but with a big fuckoff bit of spam instead of fish

"There is at least one hint of a silver lining to the cost of living crisis. That’s right, Spam is back. According to Waitrose, sales are up 36% this year, as consumers turn their backs on more expensive fresh meat.

But Spam – tinned cooked pork – need not be a compromise. Thanks to American GIs, who introduced it during the second world war to the Asia-Pacific nations, the product has become a mainstay of their cuisine. During the festival of Chuseok, South Korean supermarkets brim with elaborate Spam gift sets. In 2014, Burger King in Japan introduced a Spam and cheese burger. The biggest consumers of Spam globally are the people of the tiny Pacific island of Guam; not only do they each eat on average 16 tins a year, but Spam produces a special variety just for islanders."

£3.50 for a 340g tin here in the Philippines. And the wife fries it! 

Pretty good chopped up in a fried rice dish I'll admit.

Aye. I'm going to have to find somebody to sit down with and discuss my options with.
