In 74 and 78 Scotland qualified for the World Cup and England didn’t qualify for either tournament. And won 2-1 at Wembley in 77.

The introduction of money allowed English clubs to attract foreign players, so fewer Scots and Scottish football was dead. Their league is a Mickey Mouse competition.

A basket case of a club.

Which largely describes Scottish football these days.

“He called me”

He was a she and she didn’t call.

“He called me”.

It was won by a woman.

In Cheltenham last year, 9am Sunday morning, A&E was empty. Must have got lucky.

Thanks. Being ultra cautious. They seem to think i’n ok, but it’s a low bar here.

People who grab a seat as soon as they enter a coffee place, instead of joining the queue like normal people.😡

What is wrong with them? If there are no seats, it’s not like there isn’t another coffee place less than a minute’s walk away.

You’re pushing in because you’re thoughtless and selfish.

I wouldn’t hold your breath for the files to be released.

Or for them not to be heavily redacted.

There’s a massive young farmer with a huge bandage on his arm. He’s wearing shorts, of course.

Talking in his phone: “I’ve got a black eye but I must have won”. He can’t remember last night.

Herefordshire is another world.

On day, the true story of what is going on in the USA will be told.

If the madmen in the Whitehouse haven’t started WW3 by blowing up Norway because they hurt Trump’s feelings.

Guess this is all part of the transition to being older.

Never realised how scary it was going to be.

One of them is an empathetic, smiling, intelligent woman.

The other is a snarling, deceitful and vengeful egomaniac.

Guess which one won the Nobel Peace prize?

63.

Body things start to go wrong when you get older, and they don’t seem to go right again - they just carry on being useless and painful at a low level.

Cheerful Friday thought 😂

“I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”

At least I can still remember my TS Eliot after 50 years. 😊

It was a difficult choice between a South American woman who has been fighting against an oppressive regime for years and an oversized, self-obsessed man-baby who is unleashing terror on his own people while his family engages in colossal corruption.

GuyM @guym.bsky.social · 1d

Correct.

But it is just beautiful that they gave it to a South American woman who has been fighting against an oppressive regime.

As we now know, the Nobel

I remember Begin and Sadat getting it in 78.

Lobbying for it is unseemly.

Can’t ever remember any interest in Nobel prizes before 2025.

Now they’re being used to make politicians uncomfortable.

Just had my first “elder” fall. Lots of blood.

Now just sitting quietly and wishing I wasn’t getting old.
