Hope I've got this right. We need to beat one number 2 + a number 3 + a 4 (or nobody). That puts us into a backup play-off if we don't get through normal 2020 qualifying?

OK something different. Argyll Tourist Board video?

Thank feck they appear to have ditched this format for 2024. Looks like it's between Germany & Turkey for hosts?

No tournaments. No manager. No games. No plan for the future? Renewals coming up and all they have is media spin on ditching our stadium. With marketing men in charge of our game, you'd think at least they'd know how to screw some cash out of us.

Wheesht you. That's oor silent minority

Finally? Was listening to some of my tunes on random the other night and felt the urge to share. Hope it's appreciated. If not... Not heard from Heuch for a while...

Yeah, I know, gettin' noisy now.

Got a few more. Bear with me?

OK, it's nearly Christmas, so feck that.

Some interesting numbers in the detailed breakdown: comparing those close to 50:50 with others of glaring difference. I mean interesting whether predictable or not. We knew this already, but age = glaring, for instance. As I'm now ageing (according to the breakdown) I have to say I've been in a minority all my life and it's been a downer, but I do have faith in young folk.

However, if you were 15 in the 80s, you are excused. You got wired then. wtf are you listening to now though?

Used to congregate in the lab each morning for the radio2 quiz. Not that I ever got many questions right. Was pretty competitive and a good laugh, and the boss would know it was good team bonding Don't find much music I like on the radio (since the Radio6 Rock Show was killed). Don't even like the Radio1 Rock Show any more. Wondering if I'm just old (stop laughing at the the back), or if this is just another shitty decade like the 80s. Maybe you get your brain wired at 15 and after 51 it's a pot scrubber.

Bejeeeeeezus. Well done to you if you can carry that off... I mean. Black socks ffs

If say you are on £40,000, you'll pay more in tax next year. In perspective, the amount is small compared to the real impact from inflation that is substantially due to "quantitative easing" and brexit's hit on the £. 10s of £s versus over £1,000.

Nothing booked yet, though got an eye a few from March to May. Anybody been to the SWG3 venue yet in Glasgow? Their "TV Studio" has 1000 standing capacity. I suspect they might move acts up or down to their other halls depending on sales.

Was fantasizing about Accies halting the record, but come in and turn on the radio and Celtic score twice immediately. Oh, and Rangers score anaw. You can thank me later.

On my honeymoon at 23 on a Med beach (it was November and no excuse, ...but after a hard night... on the voddy), I had to get the brand new missus to uncork the bottle. Was just water like, but I couldnae manage Ah, those were the days... but we have a secret pleasure with a new jar of beetroot.

I'd just like to say that whatever response you saw was natural and Mrs Grim still knows nothing about this . My lawyers will be in touch. Tiny Tears says you're taking this far too far.

Anyway, Ben Nevis is highest in Scotland. Rest is irrevverrent.

Folks who complain about voicemail Just turn it off. Aoanyhoo, phones are for outgoing. Not incoming. Throw it in a fuggin' drawer, or a puddle or volcano. Woosh!

I've got a golf advert on this thread.

No, buy I've gubbed my left shoulder and can't wash my right armpit or left buttock

At least she's given us a definition of British culture.

Thanks for the link Toepoke. I managed to miss the programme each time it was on TV. I'd just finished reading Wings on my Sleeve coincidentally. I read that several times aircraft manufacturers would get into difficulty and ask Farnborough and hence Winkle to dig them out their hole. Must have been pretty scary stepping into the DH.108 to replicate the fault that killed its previous test pilot, then having such a narrow escape too. The 3rd and final prototype killed his successor too. The number of deck landings is amazing when you consider attrition rates as well Biffer. Even in operational service 38% of the RN's Sea Vixens were lost in accidents, killing 51 aircrew, and 51% of their Scimitars too. (Plus he did a lot of simulated deck landings and catapult take-offs on land, and a load of undercarriageless landings on a matress.) Scary Sea Vixen pic. The wee helicopter's job is to fish the aircrew out the drink as required.
