She's also asking for furlough to be extended.
Normally, I'm quite optimistic about things but I'm getting a horrible feeling that we won't see all restrictions removed until everyone is doubly vaccinated, winter is over, deaths and hospitalisations have gone to zero, cases have gone to zero and we've doubly vaccinated virtually everyone in every non-third world country.
That will be next summer.
August is really the deadline for double vaccinations. Beyond that we're into flu season and there's just no way she'll open up at a time like that.
More than happy to be wrong about this but I do think we're looking at another year of this.

Seeing as you have been "kind" enough to quote him and give me the "pleasure" of seeing his posts, I'll stick my oar in and say ...






yer baith wrang.

Seems the bullshit ‘virus’ is spreading faster than covid [emoji2]

If they were truly following the teachings they would be stoning unruly children and getting their slaves from the nations around them.

One of the main problems with religion, especially Christianity, is that followers believe that they get their morals from their god/book but they really (mostly) act in a morally superior way to the teachings, showing that they are actually more moral than the thing they think they get their morals from. The nutters from the likes of the Westboro Baptist Church and the NIFB are actually following the teachings closer than most "mainstream" Christians.

I think the main point is that it doesn't take religion/faith/teaching for people to help others, it takes compasion and that is a human trait, not the sole preserve of people of religion/faith.

If it's not to challenge for a place in Europe plus at least one Cup semi-final then I'll be very surprised and disappointed.
Going to be a great season. Can't wait for it to start. Hopefully some of you whippersnappers will be able in to see games as well.

It doesn't matter who scores the goals.
A player needs to be either scoring or creating for others to score.
As long as someone is putting them away I couldn't care less whose name gets on the sheet.

So, expecting a striker to score a few goals is dated.... FFS 😂
The reason Brophy ended up at St Mirren and not someone bigger is because those bigger clubs also have dated views on what a striker should contribute 🤡

Wrong one.
It's a bit of a non-comparison anyway. Thomson was a central mid, Main is a centre forward.

Subtle innuends   Follow. ( for Adam Ant fans) 
 
 

Will be very hard to replace unfortunately, he was brilliant for us, good enough to start for anyone outside the old firm.

Aye. Unfortunately some of us had the pleasure of being there. 😩

I can't remember it either and I'm not going to comment on your point out of context.
To the relief of everyone I imagine. 😄

One born every minute 😂

I'm not so sure that this is shite. This story is being published in other media outlets.
The two authors of the forthcoming paper are very credible medical scientists.
What is interesting is that they've struggled and failed to get it published for about a year. That in itself is not unusual - they've probably been trying to get it into journals like Nature and the waiting list and failure list for a journal like that is enormous. What's more of a concern is that they've claimed that it's because people view their research as racist. That right there is a red flag and sounds like conspiracy theory bollocks which they need to clarifying. It's unusual to get feedback of that type from reviewers of submitted papers so they need to explain why they think that's the reason for having the paper rejected.
The authors also state (paraphrasing) that "it's against the law of nature to have 4 consecutive positively charged amino acids, thast has to be man-made." Well it's either against the law of physics or it's not. If it's against the law of physics for it to be naturally occurring then it would also be against the law of physics for it to be man-made. That needs explaining too.
As of yet, the paper is still not published. It remains to be seen whether that's because it's been approved and is now awaiting a free slot in a future edition in this journal or whether it's still awaiting peer-review.
So I wouldn't dismiss it just yet.

Missed the humour.

Aye, dollars, not pounds.



Hmm. [emoji848]

So about £8.55m per year "lost" in transfers.

Comparing Naismith favourably to Tait is borderline offensive.
Tait is a class act and absolutely one of our best and fittest players. In terms of shear attitude on the pitch and leading by example, I'd challenge anyone to provide a better example in recent memory.
He's probably been left out of some games because there are better players for a back 3 and maybe to rest him a little.

Don’t need a right full back. We have the following that can play/have played there:
Fraser
Tait
Finlayson
Flynn
MacPherson

Budget better used in forward areas.

For me, Tait is one of our best, and most versatile, players and I would not be looking to replace him, without consideration to our current wage structure.

Tait is currently a better defender than Naismith ever was or ever will be. I simply cannot believe that some folk want to replace Tait never mind with Jason Naismith.

I never get the obsession with bringing back former players at the best of times but Naismith just isn't very good. Never looked anything but the level of the other RC defenders any time we played them. We need to show more ambition. If we want to replace a player it has to be with an upgrade. In the case of Tait imo that would be very difficult in our wage structure.

Fair enough.

FFS he's complaining about OF Colts not being allowed in the senior leagues.
How on earth does he think that's going to change anything for the better?
I've yet to see a single credible argument in that regard.

Could be..........
