Honestly thought Ashman had a decent Autumn (when the rest of the team did not). Deeply frustrating performance from him today, with no reliable backup. The calls seemed totally off? Just no idea how so much of the set piece went so wrong.

Exciting to see the growth. Now just need them to actually add some parking spots at the western extent of the zone! 1km to my nearest spot despite the zone ending mere metres from my street.

This is very good advice for peace of mind. Flight aggregators might suggest cheaper prices on a travel agent/platform, but the process for receiving tickets etc... can be anxiety inducing. Search via the likes of Skyscanner for airlines and routes, then book direct through the airline.

Absolutely loved all your content over the years, and particularly how it's helped me enjoy rugby more and how much community it seemed to generate. Gutting to think how much toll that's taken for you as the creator(s). Respect for the honesty, and hope you find a dynamic to enjoy what comes next.

Not read the sequel but excited to do so! The curse of only reading physical books but being reluctant to buy hardbacks! I really enjoyed Robert Jackson Bennett's City of Stairs series also.

As a Scotland fan I have unanimously decided this is a valid request. Bonus point applied.

More than half of goods vehicles speeding on Ashley Terrace, directly past Craiglockhart Primary School - a route which is now even busier due to nearby closures. The school has resorted to putting signs outside asking drivers to slow, while actual traffic calming measures are long overdue.

Chaos energy in this game is off the charts. I'm going to need a lie down afterwards.

Possibly the greatest chaos energy in the history of the UK version of the show. Perfect. No notes.
