  1. Even the SFL XI selectors didn't have this problem. http://www.londonhearts.com/SFL/sea/all.html
  2. Ha! How we laugh(?) at American schoolchildren responding to nuclear sirens in the 50's, but wtf "the Queen(1)? Are we supposed to colour her in with Humbrol grey primer matt, or what?
  3. Big Ramy has set a seriously difficult or mibbe just awkward challenge here. Folk have to pick 1 player from one or more of their rivals and at least 2 from Accies/Dundee/St.Mirren. Aye ok, Ive not even attempted
  4. It's on the wife's bucket list to go to a game, so can't do away with her yet. How easy will it be to get 2020 Scotland-France tickets and when?
  5. Great tactic to give the Italians a confidence boost at the end, so they can better face our mutual opponents.
  6. JSBX - Soul Typecast... with Russell Simins on badminton racket & cardboard box
  7. Your list adds up for me. The SSC have a small error on that page though. Their date there is wrong, I believe... Since the table shows people on 22 points it must actually be up to date now, and include the 17th & 20th Nov games..
  8. Worked ok for me mid-afternoon today.
  9. I had an English teacher (I mean a teacher of that subject) who seemed to resent Burns being in the syllabus. Told us he was rotten, did Tam o' Shanter quickly, and that was it for my 5 years of secondary education. Going slightly off... had another who tried to explain to us scruff, the difference between speaking correctly and speaking 'proper', reminding me of the time I threw Enid Blyton in the bin (goboilyered). I knew what she meant, but she couldn't/wouldn't differentiate between Scots and slang. Scots has been so eroded such that I hardly understand it unless recited well.
  10. A nod to the Hamilton pub where I had my first pint o' heavy and my first malt: Go, fetch to me a pint o' wine, And fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink before I go, A service to my bonie lassie. (My Bonie Mary.)
  11. Thanks. The price list below that is scary. Hopefully they are not individual ticket prices?
  12. ... and there are three Irish pubs close to one another on Hunsrückenstrasse and Mutter-Ey-Strasse.
  13. TAM_Pat gave me this link for an earlier question. It doesn't help with Red TV specifically though. https://www.fussballgucken.info/locations?finder_type=2&city=Düsseldorf&s=Suchen
  14. I can remember -20C once here in Erskine. Sent the kids out to build a snowman. They came in after 5 minutes greetin. Heartless bassa I am That was nothing to this time last year. Couldn't drive out our street for 2 weeks. I was reasonably happy not to have a heart attack shovelling the snow out. Yeah, I know it wasn't Canadian proportions, but a bit much for us rain sookers. The supermarket couldn't get anything in... Disaster. Folks were searching for babymilk compound to put in their cornflakes. I never saw bread for a week. You'd think it was 29th of March or something.
  15. You the first to select a 10's tune Barney? Either way, a goodun! I'm gonna steal your glory... Saw them last summer at the after hours gig at King Tut's too. Amazing.
  16. Saw PP Arnold at King Tut's a little over a year ago and she was brilliant... at 71 That might have been the encore?
  17. I liked Metz. But then again I like Brussels too. 😀
  18. There's a lot in there to take in and try to argue with. Much I would not argue with. A couple of points though: The expanding earth theory came about before evidence of sea floor spreading and subduction was found. The prof. obviously was not convinced by the latter and stuck with it. This was filmed in 1982, and geologists have not stopped chipping. Maybe the evidence of ophiolites (pillow lavas) in the Himalayas is recent. These are evidence of ocean spreading (the Tethys), whereas Prof. Carey disputed that there ever was ocean there. I see no problem with the dinosaurs as India & China were part of a single landmass before the former skelped off across the Tethys and collided with a different part of it. There is plenty of evidence of mountain building by continental collision, which you would think would be rare on an expanding earth. e.g. the Caledonian orogeny (where he shows the Appalachians and "England"). The transform fault he shows is believed to have occurred late in that process and doesn't disprove anything for me. If the earth was all land it might have been a bit short of rain to water early plants and for the myriads of sea fossils to have swam in (long before Pangaea). It hinges on the earth's mass increasing though. Feck me, maybe dinosaurs were so big because gravity was so low . (Their bones and muscle pick-ups would not have needed to be so thick though.) I think an earlier video said the size/mass would have doubled with the opening of the Atlantic (60 million years or something). You do realise what a big number E=mc2 is for that? I think it is many millions of times more energy than all the sun's that would have reached earth in that time (even if it wasn't all reflected/radiated off).
  19. Oh no it isn't! Sorry. I do understand all you folks posted, but yes that's what this program is now.
