Will you be coming tomorrow, for what is surely the biggest game of the season and a near sell out?
Why don't you ask everybody the same question?
At least I'll be watching, not listening to the "wireless".

Great interview.
Came across really well.
Hope he explained why he's dropped off on form in the last few games.

Susan Calman's Great British Cities..................
Tonight is Glasgow.
A "rose tinted specs" look at Glasgow and fairly entertaining.
The ship industry being lamented as a travesty when truth be told it was the victim of it's own poor quality and costly refits.

Premier League Darts kicks off on a few minutes.
Littler still the talk of the steamie, the boy, at the minute, is box office.
The teenage phenomenon continues to show why he's THE top name in darts.
Sitting at the top of the Premier League and the viewing figures for darts has gone through the roof.
What a talent.

Yet another fcuk up by Israel, resulting in aid workers losing their lives.
While it should always be remembered that it was the loonballs Hamas that started this the Israeli regime have been ripping the pish out of this opportunity at will.
This latest massacre is hard to cover up as some "error" in a war zone, it smacks of some parts of the Israeli army are out of control.
As a result of this latest murderous act thousands of tons of food/supplies will not make it's wat to the poor Palestinians that are in dire need of everything to just survive.
I despair.
Summary: Israel criticised after strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza
-
Israel’s prime minister has admitted Israeli forces killed seven humanitarian aid workers in Gaza in an airstrike yesterday. Saying “This happens in wartime,” Benjamin Netanyahu described it as “a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip.”
-
Three of the seven people killed were British nationals. The UK summoned the Israeli ambassador in London saying Israel must “put in place an effective deconfliction mechanism immediately and urgently to scale up humanitarian access”. The UK’s foreign secretary David Cameron said the deaths were “completely unacceptable”.
-
The group had been travelling in two armoured vehicles branded with the World Central Kitchen (WCK) charity’s logo. WCK said those killed were from the UK, Australia, Poland and Palestine, as well as a US-Canada dual citizen. The charity said it was suspending operations in the Palestinian territory.
-
US president Joe Biden’s administration said it had been in touch with José Andrés, who founded WCK. Secretary of state Antony Blinken said the US had also spoken directly to the Israeli government about the issue. He told the media “We’ve urged a swift, a thorough and impartial investigation to understand exactly what happened.”
-
France’s foreign minister Stéphane Séjourné on Tuesday said his country “strongly condemned” the Israeli airstrike, which “nothing can justify”.
-
Israel has said it plans to open a joint situation room with international groups to enable the coordination of humanitarian aid. WCK on Monday said in its statement about the attack that “Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse.”
-
Cyprus said on Tuesday afternoon that ships that recently arrived in Gaza were turning back with 240 tonnes of undelivered aid. “At least two-thirds of the assistance is on its way back,” Cyprus’s foreign minister spokesperson, Theodoros Gotsis, told the Guardian.
-
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric has said that the organisation’s secretary-general António Guterres condemns an attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, calling for “utmost restraint”. The attack, which killed at least 11 people, including a senior commander in the al-Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), has been widely attributed to Israel. Turkey said the attack was a violation of international law by Israel. Iran’s leaders in Tehran described the targeting of a diplomatic mission late on Monday as unprecedented and promised a harsh response.
-
Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant said Israel would “act everywhere, every day to prevent the force buildup of our enemies. We are in a multi-front war, in the offence and defence. We see evidence of this every day, including in recent days”. He said Israel was acting “to make it clear to everyone who acts against us, all over the Middle East, that the price for acting against Israel will be a heavy price.”

I want to lose this bet.
I will be absolutely devastated if we finish 7th. We would have nothing to play for and our season would be over.
I have an insurance policy in case my house burns down, but it doesn't mean I want it to burn down.
If I 'win' the bet, the money will be put towards my next season ticket.
Aye, that's almost the same as having your usual lack of belief in the team.
When, exactly, did you place this "insurance" bet?

Indeed. 👏👏👏

First weekend completed.
A few minor issues, making up the bed when half scooped was comedy gold.
That apart, all went well although we did drive away without the small step but our friendly neighbour raced after us as we were emptying out the grey water.
Already booked our next trip, a weekend down in Fife in May as April is almost fully booked.

Liverpool 2-1 Brighton, final score.
Cracking watch, Liverpool attack in waves, not as many passes as City, quite like crossing the ball in on a regular basis.
Next up City v Arsenal.
Not sure this will have lots of goals, @Hunterian, you heard it here first, but will be an intriguing match between two sides with an abundance of skill.
1-1 for me.
City 0-0 Arsenal, a stalemate, as I feared, which can happen when two top teams lock horns.
Never mind, Bet 365 won't be so happy, I had the draw at 11/4.

I’d love to know the footfall of residents using libraries in Renfrewshire.
Any time I visit libraries in the area there are very quiet 🤫.
😂
I do use the local libraries on a regular basis. Anytime I’m in there are very few people using them. I visit Paisley, Linwood, Johnstone and Ferguslie and often there are more staff than customers.
From what I understand you can no longer visit the Town Hall for a casual look around. Only access is for events that you pay for.
Libraries have had to evolve and are very different from the "traditional" idea of what a library used to be and look like.
The article gives an insight into what happens in this library.
As for the Town Hall, another venue that's used for a myriad of events.

All adding to the change in culture, needed for a town to survive.
