An extract from a sky sports story:
In 2018, Rangers tore up the long-standing convention that saw about 7,500 fans travel across the city on derby days and reduced that figure to around 10 per cent of that total. Inevitably, Celtic followed suit.

The situation developed that neither club accepted tickets for each other's grounds for safety reasons.

Celtic then refused Rangers' request for tickets for the December 30 game last year, with the SPFL at that stage unable to enforce vague regulations over away allocations.

Have they considered what flight path Putin will take given that EU airspace is closed to Russian aircraft?

I don't recall much outrage when Old Firm clubs banned away supporters

In December 1961, the British fascist, Oswald Mosley, sent Bertrand Russell two of his books. Mosley wrote of the two root differences between us' in international politics, and subsequently invited Russell to lunch. On 22 January 1962, Russell declined the invitation in these terms.
L
Dear Sir Oswald,
Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.
I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association
between us.
I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.
Yours sincerely,
Bertrand Russell

Discovered a hedgehog eating some leftover cat food last week and left out some cat nuts in the evening. On Sunday night I opened the door, 2 of them were sitting on my doormat! (1 scurried off before I could get a pic)
Is there a way to encourage them to use a house, or will they suss it out?

I think that you don't know this shit because you think that a world where people pay their staff properly doesn't exist

Was your username previously "AnUnverifiedDork" by any chance?

That the world exists everywhere except in the US, similar to knowledge about what makes cycling safer.

A chart showing that the US has a cyclist falality rate over 4 times that of the Netherlands despite a helmet rate of 55% vs 2%

Why pick half? You have no basis to make that assumption, and you won't find a single helmet manufacturer that would make that claim.

JayShi @jamessh0000.bsky.social · 7d

Do you have any data to prove that shows how many deaths would have been prevented by helmet use?

A graph showing deaths per billion km cycled v helmet wearing. USA has over 50% helmet wearing wirh over 40 deaths per billion km, Netherlands has 2% helmet wearing wirh 10 deaths per billion km

A beef burger tells you that it is a burger that contains beef, a vegan burger tells you what it doesn't contain.

I stayed in a hotel in Sault last weekend and memorabilia from
Francis Pelissier featured in their display

FRANCIS PELISSIER's 1924 tour de france bicycle. dark green, numbered 37 with to aluminium wayer bottles attached to the handlebars

En 1911, Pélissier remporte à l'emballa- ge le Tour de Lombardie (à gauche, en bas). Mis en difficulté dans Milan- Sanremo (au dessus), il remporte l'édi- tion suivante de la grande classique, le 31 mars 1912 (ci-dessus). A gauche, à Verdun, en 1910: une photo du coureur en conscrit (3ème régiment du Génie). A droite, Pélissier prend place sur la ligne de départ: sa ressemblance avec Petit- Breton ne se limite pas, on le voit, au style et au mauvais caractère!
coup de fringale l'a terrassé dans la montée du Tourmalet. Dans son im- patience à vouloir semer ses rivaux, il avait estimé que c'eût été perdre un temps précieux que de dévorer ne fût-ce qu'une aile de poulet après le contrôle de Barèges. Et l'on commence à s'interroger: Henri Pélissier, 25 ans, apprendra-t- il à réfréner ses élans? Sa carcasse de frêle pur-sang se fera-t-elle aux travaux du Tour? Acceptera-t-il de souffrir avec patience, jour après jour, pendant quinze longues éta- pes? (roger bastide)
