Sorry to hear about your sister @Renton.... life can be beyond cruel for many as we get a bit older. Agreed. The “in” place of the upper Tweed valley is Innerleithen...famed mountain bike hang out with cool cafes popular with the young professionals who have gravitated there from the central belt, some of whom I’m related to so to be fair that is a downside. And the gang of spunktrumpets I know from Kelso who hare around the hills on bikes like some sort of mass Celtic mid life crisis...apart from that it’s ace 👍

Are some of us going to be back in stadiums before Christmas? .... https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/12053138/coronavirus-scotland-first-minister-nicola-sturgeon-aims-for-september-opening-of-stadiums

In here about how Trump sacked the original DA investigating the wall fund fraud, but his successor carried on regardless...

I wouldn’t trust the current US Departmsnt of Justice to make the charges stick after Mike Flynn...he coughed to corruption charges in 2017 then the DOJ dropped the charges when Willliam Barr became Attorney General....he’s still in office

Masters appears to have told them that the PL have gone beyond the scope of the O & D test and apparently they're ok with this I get that they're limited to what they can do and getting a sit down with him is an acheivement but for fucks sakes it's there right in front of you lads they moved the goal posts because they didn't like the look of the buyers. The reasons are in a way irrelevent, they weren't going to approve it under any circumstances and the offer of mediation was a fuckin cowards way out https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/breaking-richard-masters-newcastle-takeover-18800928.amp?__twitter_impression=true

If this is accurate it would’ve been one of the only games I’d have been keen to go to in person this season so I was hoping for it to be next Spring when hopefully there will be (some?) supporters allowed in again. Ho hum.

@thebrokendoll Kielder midges finished the current Mrs PL’s love affair with camper vans...this after going round both islands of NZ & the entire east coast of Oz in one...she’s sat here and I told her about this post and asked her to guess where the worst midges were, she said Kielder before I finished the question and has asked for me to point out that Kielder midges have finished her with camping full stop

Lauder? Hearts fan? You’re former jambo manager Jim Jeffries and I will claim my £5

@Monkeys Fist sorry to hear about your dad, my old man did the same,lung cancer did for him at 83... popped his cloggs right in the middle of the last world cup the inconsiderate old scrote

Chin up @Renton, sometimes you're ahead in life & sometimes you're not. It has ever been thus....

Arsenal finished 8th Spurs finished outside the champions league places, I expect both of them to continue to go backwards Leicester's spot is perennially up for grabs, I don't think this bullshit "top six" is set in stone outside the top two... However, to stand a chance Bunter obviously needs to sell to someone who will invest. Looks like that chance has gone....

The porridge wogs apparently used the same algorithm but U turned almost immediately. Going on the pitiful recent history of this particular government I think the same might happen in the rest of the UK... Johnson is as weak as piss and can't stick getting heavily criticised. Funnily enough he's on holiday this week...quel fuckin surprise...

Our mortgage deal is up in February, we’re going into it for new bathroom & kitchen....the pitifully low mortgage rate at the moment is only encouraging us...

Decent youths in the pipeline just sounds rude to me

It's frightningly (literally) good. She's a regular on MNSBC, where she sits there and says that the POTUS is the head of one of the world's leading crime families. The fuckin obsequious UK media could learn a thing or two from her....

Just started In Plain Sight by Sarah Kendizor......it was published last October. Frankly I’m amazed she’s still alive

Fuck off

Some good points in this article, some utter bollocks too, including these thoughts on our current situation: and who in Newcastle’s case, rather than breathe a sigh of relief that one of the worst, most evil regimes on planet Earth had been blocked from taking over their club thanks to illegal piracy of television rights, have instead complained bitterly to the UK government. Their petition has been signed by more than 100,000 people: for whom, it might therefore be assumed, the chance of scraping a place in the Europa League is far more important than the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, caused largely by mass murderers who they appear to view as their club’s saviours. Those fans might well turn around and say “but the British government does deals with the Saudis too!” Which of course, it does… but this only begs the question: “Did you vote against that government last year? Or for it?” And if the argument is that the Saudis will bring investment and jobs: well yes, so did Hitler. If he was offering to buy your football club and spend hundreds of millions, would that be OK too? Newcastle, of course, were left trailing in the wake of the Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour takeovers. Toon fans I know protested furiously about the former, in particular — but it turns out, they were just jealous. When money comes calling, any sense of morality or basic decency simply dissolves. The fiancee of poor Jamal Khashoggi even received abuse from some Newcastle fans when pleading with the Premier League to see sense and stop the takeover. https://medium.com/@shaunjlawson/falling-out-of-love-with-football-a-fans-lament-9405585ee211
