It was grim. No self belief. You wonder what it is in the Scotland camp that turns players at the peak of their game into showroom dummies. Actually not what, but who.

Looks like a hazy pale. Fine carbonation (as promised), light smoke flavours, tiny hint of biscuit. Very nice.

Council officer: "... a balance has to be struck between the needs of a community and the needs of other users.”

🤔 If all the surrounding roads are 20 limit, who *needs* this road to have a 30 limit, and more importantly, why?

East Lothian 20mph plea rejected by councillors

Residents on a main road into East Lothian’s biggest town have lost a five year long battle to have the speed limit on it reduced to 20mph. More than 50 people living on Ravensheugh Road, which lies at the south entrance to Musselburgh travelling from Prestonpans, signed a petition demanding the council overturn officers’ refusal to cut the 30mph speed limit on the road.

Beer thought, having bought some Schlenkerla Grodsyzkie. What if the person telling you that a beer is a good example of a style has only tried two versions? We need to recategorise beer sampling into nice/not nice and just leave it at that. 😇

Much better than the civilian version. Playing for charity allows people like me to engage again, unlike the unease of seeing folk form friendships with people who are lying for cash.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

There are few things funnier than Robert Jenrick being interviewed on the BBC and claiming that they are making it difficult for him to express his views.

She should know about anxiety. She looks anxious every time she is interviewed because she knows that she's talking nonsense 90% of the time.
