Everything Douglas Adams says.
Scottish Football

With Rangers blitzkrieging Celtic it makes the title race a 3 way race, maybe even four if Motherwell can keep their momentum.

Scottish Football this season isnae boring for sure.

I am listening to the Weegie derby and it sounds like a typical comical derby standard of football. I am tempted to go to the pub for the second half.

Okay, AI puke it is
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Remember to check before setting out for your game. There seems to be no snow in the Edinburgh area..but looks like frost might make some of the pitches unplayable.

🏟️ Dundee United and Dundee, whose stadiums are around 180 metres apart, will go head-to-head in the Scottish Premiership today.

Amazingly, however, it will not be Europe's closest top-flight city derby this weekend: PSG & Paris FC, who meet tomorrow, are only 30 metres apart.

I have not watched any of the previous Traitor shows so I thought I would dip my toes in. Has a feel of show where the contestants and the producers are doing knowing winks at each other. I do know that Traitors have won the past ones maybe set up for a Faithfull to win this year?

Big game tomorrow in Scotland … the Old Firm: Celtic v Rangers.
Good time to post this, my Celtic/Rangers joke. Recorded at Blackfriars in Glasgow … you can see the audience getting nervous. ✌️

Due to feedback from our testers, we have decided to patch "Happy New Year" to "Acceptable New Year" to avoid disappointment and better match the realities of the market.

So I completed watching Stranger Things. It was very good in bits and bit ok in others. I not sure why people were getting het up about the ending. I get the feeling Duffer Brothers will return to it in couple of years...

Posh city boy grifter. One trick pony, pop up shop political huckster. Political policies thinner than pizza base. Farage does not even like beer and prefers expensive red wine.
First point: this article clearly explains how chaotic a Reform cabinet would be. For one thing, they're all fractious ex-Tories. Hardly 'Reform' is it? More a case of As You Were!
Though in fairness to Lee Anderson, this will be the third party he's represented 🤣

There’s no doubting the charisma of its leader, but Reform UK lacks the depth and experience needed to govern – and voters are quickly realising that, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins
