  1. Just spent the last 4 days marshalling at the Scottish Open, saw some great golf and it was good too see the pros struggle in the wind on a couple of the days.

    Managed to upset one of the golfers after finding his ball after he'd given up and had gone back towards his provisional, (it was in the middle of a gorse bush though).

    Right, so, I'm not quite "mid(ish) life" at 33, but I'm definitely in need of a career change.

    As some will remember, about 13 months ago or so, having been looking for a job change for some years, I finally got an opportunity I was a bit wary of. In the end, I felt I had to take it.

    Well, it's safe to say that all of my fears/hesitations over accepting it have proved to be founded, and the things that attracted me to the role haven't materialised. With the job market in Aberdeen dead, there's nowhere really to turn either. 

    The only Accounting roles which crop up, I seem to be prohibited from applying for due to a lack of specific, professional practice, experience.

    I don't envisage this changing any time soon, and the longer this drags on, I feel as if I'm losing the skills I do actually have.

    So, I've reached a point where I think I probably have to start over with something else, but I'm really not sure where.

    Given the serious teacher shortage up here, that might be a good route to look at, however, I literally can't afford to quit my full-time job, from what I can see, there's actually decent funding available to train in England, but it appears as if there is virtually nothing in Scotland...

    Anyone able to advise/point me in the right direction?

    On Moray Firth Radio yesterday they were talking about Moray (admittedly a wee bit north of Aberdeen) were going to be accepting teachers who were doing there training online. The school authority said this was best as it would allow those who couldn't afford to leave their current jobs to do the training while they still worked.

  3. £383 in profit so far during Euro's.

    A successful couple of days, put a tenner on each 1/4 final going to penalties, "knew" at least one would which would cover the other ones if they lost.

    Used Bet365 risk free bet for both teams scoring in first half, £225 profit on that.

    Starting to enjoy this tournament!

    Have the KO rules changed - do you no longer have to knock it forward? (Has it been like that for years?)

    Yes, changed at start of the month.

    New rules here

    I think their hearing was only today so they'll get their public knuckle rapping tomorrow (I suppose, I dont actually know...)

    They've been given a fine and banned from selling tickets to known hooligans!

    Not if they get booted out first

    Slight tangent for the thread, but why haven't Croatia been put on a warning about being kicked out of the tournament?

    Is it because they know fine well there will be something happening at their final group game and don't want to actually have to kick them out?

    Usually get an email 2 days in advance. Not had anything.

    They're probably hoping folk won't notice and will put their bets on thinking they'll get their money back!

    given they aimed at and hit a steward who was picking up the first volley of flares

    I thought it looked like the one he was picking up went bang as he approached it rather than it be a "fresh" one. Not that that would excuse them!

    It'd better not be Savage doing co-commentary. 

    I'm offshore and got a choice of Danish, Dutch or the UK channels for the matches.

    Needless to say I've not watched a single match on the Beeb or ITV! Don't understand a word of what's being said but it's better than the usual shite.
