Forcing mathematics into ungrateful teenagers since 2004. I used to play the drums. I still do: but I used to, too.
Well done him for not getting shot.

A ground I’ve always detested. I still have horrible memories of the last Airdrie 1.0 match there.

£55M in 2020 adjusted for inflation is now £70M, so the scheme has increased by £60M. This is 0.0002% of the UK economy. This is not a serious plan to raise money, but a way to look tough (see the comment about £4000 bikes in the Surrey hills).

Love that song but Sweetness always gets me. There’s something about that single chord piano motif thing that just lifts any song (QOTSA Go With the Flow, Gouge Away Maybe Blue, many such cases)

So I give up my fancy title but still get to live a life of unimaginable wealth and privilege? Oh that sounds so terrible.
