Utterly boggin’, this food… …From SCOTLAND?!?!
Happy Burns Night if you celebrate. I’m mostly in it for the whisky on a Sunday!

Anyway, the rugby’s annoyed me today so here’s some transition-back-to-real-life baking.

Every day of the week! Hearing the whole conversation between ref and TMO is the only part of watching at home that’s better than in-stadium. Commentators so insecure they need to fill every second or airtime with their inane babble are well advanced in their efforts to steal this from us, too.
Commentators continuing to talk over the ref is my biggest pet peeve

Fair play, Scarlets. Deserved that. Ulster’s defence was all over the place in both of those last two sets and they exploited it brilliantly. From an Ulster perspective, a harsh and disappointing evening. So close to seeing out a game where little, from the very off, has gone right #SCAvULS

That is head contact. Well worth the upgrade. Scarlets were in possession 80m further down the pitch. I don’t see how you can go back for this. When is advantage over if not there? What in the hell are we doing to our game? #SCAvULS

Don’t like that it’s happening to the team I support but fuck me have Scarlets kicked brilliantly into the wind this half, using every second of doubt it puts in the defence to their advantage! #SCAvULS

A cynical penalty after a yellow for repeated cynical penalties should be an automatic second yellow. Anything else is just reward cynicism! #SCAvULS

It’s genuinely surprising how many people who go to live rugby games, presumably regularly, don’t know then new not-straight-at-the-lineout law. I think the law is stupid and confusing, like much of the tinkering we see in the game, but it’s been in force to a good year at least by now #SCAvULS

Don’t have clear head contact? No foul play? The lad’s out cold before he hits the floor. This is an absolute fucking joke. Rugby is a joke. Fuck off. #SCAvULS

Planned a perfect day with #WeePferd. Museum to see the dinosaurs, lunch in my favourite pizza place, then home for the rugby.
Dinosaurs were scary and the salami on her pizza was too oval.
If these are the omens, prepare yourself for an utterly diabolical performance, Ulster fans… #SCAvULS

The clearest sign of a much improved Ulster this season is the explosion of Kok jokes. Last year, we were far too jaded for anything of the sort. This year, we just can’t keep Kok out of our mouths.

#BabyPferd's teacher asked the kids to bring a shoebox to school for the usual art project young school kids need shoeboxes for in school. For some reason, the parents’ WhatsApp group is suddenly alive with questions such as, “What size?” and, “Does it need a lid?”

Bloody hell, you know the WRU have utterly fucked it up when Irish Rugby Bluesky is standing in solidarity with Welsh fans. Ridiculous; awful; and just so horribly amateur in every single way. Stay strong, Welsh friends, and give them hell.

Watching this documentary about Ancient Egypt and I swear to goodness, the narrator keeps saying suck-off-a-guy instead of sarcophagi.
