Why do people speaking on their mobile these days rarely put the phone to their ear, you know, like a telephone?

This is unforgivable. Tesco is cancelled.

New Rose was released 50 years ago today apparently. In the intervening decades I’m not sure there’s been a more exciting intro. Oh and the rest of it stands up alright as well.

Oh my word…

@unklerupert.uk Been meaning to say for a while that Ziggy now available in atmos, as well as Let’s Dance and Earthling. Apologies if you already knew that.

Happy 5th anniversary to the time this happened over on that other place.

Did a wee double take on @theguardian.com homepage there…

Is it wrong to want more Rodri tears? #worldcup

It’s now 2006 and the game hasn’t started. FFS. Can’t wait until half time (x2).

Is that bullet proof glass?!! #worldcupfinal

You and I can absolutely agree on that point. He’s our GOAT, but there’s still an outside chance in 2030 too.

I can’t find Shankland on this list; should i just get over it? www.theguardian.com/football/ng-...

Dougie still hasn't had an answer to this, I have a lot of North American pals can any of them help him?

This video was from a Saturday in July (last week) at what was billed as “Garbage at Edinburgh Castle”. However the uniqueness of the city and it’s struggle against haar (it’s a sort of mist) rendered it invisible. Here’s a video - note the phone screen in front.

Trent Reznor subscribes to the Milesian School of natural philosophy. Nine Inch Thales

Trent Reznor’s quest to drink less alcohol: Nine Inch Ales

All this ABE patter aside, let’s not forget who founded the Argentine FA in 1893. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexand...

Pot. Kettle.

Missed a wee treat tonight @marcrileydj.bsky.social in Edinburgh with all your favourite folk. I mean a song about a sandwich filling - “Bubbles” session incoming surely?

Why do these always get promoted around 2230? Do they think we won’t notice?

Drop a cop

Oh God. Me too. Damn you both.

Mass sit down and one minute’s silence to remember those affected by last Friday’s events here.

Maybe Clarke should be replaced by the Ecuadorian manager. Gambled. Battled. Goals.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Scotland defying hate and Haiti in the same weekend

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

Playing a WC friendly with the opponent down to 10 men won’t do Scotland any good. So let’s take a player off and make it even.

Anyone else listening to “Inferno” non-stop today?

It’s been a long week of kicks in the balls for us Hearts fans. Last day shite, losing Shankland for nothing, probably losing Devlin for nothing, woman’s team win the league but half the team are being cut due to budgets and their manager is off. Jeezo.

Any know why that particular walkway was chosen for @blocparty.com’s new album cover?

Jeez I seem to follow a lot of Arsenal supporters on here, maybe it’s because we have a lot in common and not just football; to you all I send my most hearty congratulations on your Premiership Title win.

“A thrilling title race will increase the profile of Scottish football across the world!”

For all those who know my persuasion, welcome to Scottish Football. It stinks.

A team that has won 13 or 14 of the last 15 titles or something. Is owned by one of the richest men in Ireland, has a former Labour Minister as Chairman, ex Chairman a UK cabinet minister with a support around the world thinks its not the establishment 🤔😅

Well worth the listen if you are of that persuasion podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Great cover @nivenj1.bsky.social

BELIEVE

Just checked the BBC's setup for example: absolutely no indication that you will be able to get this information from them. 27 years and 7 elections into devolution, and effectively half of the story is invisible on the national broadcaster's website. Mortifying stuff, frankly.

Absolute barnstormer of a tune, Mike and co. ♥️
