    Who will no longer be having fun, fun, fun on the autobun 🧁 now his daddy took the T-Bird away...RIP

     

    Sorry have to correct you, it’s Fahren, fahren fahren auf der autobahn 

    The German pronunciation makes it sound like fun,fun, fun , it translates as drive, drive, drive 

    needless to say, he won’t be driving or having fun on the autobahn any longer 😥

    Interesting, thanks. I am taking a vitamin D supplement, as I realised I am, or hopefully was, deficient.

    Since learning about it, I have changed my habits.  I now know why my mum was so keen to give me a large spoonful of cod liver oil every other day and send me out side to play at every opportunity .

    Vit D absorbtion also affected by skin pigmentation. Darker skin, more difficult to absorb. Which is an interesting contradiction with the increasing lack of sunshine and vit D the further north you live.

    There's been calls for years to put supplements into food in countries like Scotland. There's a problem though in that too much Vit D can lead to similar symptoms to too lack of Vit D.

    The red hair and fair skin pigmentation of Scottish/Irish are a direct genetic mutation to the environment. Red heads work hard to produce more melatonin to absorb more vit d due to low cloud coverage in west Scotland and Ireland. They have adapted over thousands of years to their environment

    Good morning, friends and fiends! I hope you are all well.

    I have been reading a couple of blogs, which I have found quite interesting. I'm not suggesting that I agree with everything the authors have written, given that I have only read a fraction of their offerings, but they seem cogent to me.

    Stay safe!

    The malcom Kendrick blog on vitamin D is interesting, I took in a lecture on vitamin D research a few years ago, the researchers had studied populations in the Faroe isles and west Scotland ( they both have similar low cloud cover) however Faroe islanders eat lots of oily fish. (Source of vit D) anyhoo, long story short, doctors in UK test vitamin d levels in blood tests by checking you reach the minimum level not to have bone growth problems and that’s it. The researchers reckoned that everyone in the west of Scotland was vit d deficient. We should all be on a supplement or spending 45 minutes each day outside with short sleeves and shorts. They also discussed MS and how it declines the closer you get to the equator.

    Just back from Tesco,  was interested to note that apart from the usual suspects dressed up as extras from Outbreak most people were uncovered in fact I'd say there were less people with homemade coverings than the last few trips. 😷  

    Scottish Express headline tomorrow “ Dastardly plan by the SNP to kill unionists”

    Why, do you think it will only effect us. :unsure:

    No it won’t just be us, it will be all countries. It’s just another reason on the long list of cons that players think about before coming here, I.e shit weather, long winter, better pay in England etc 

  7. I just hope that enough teams survive to form a league. I think football in general is going to look very different going forward, I can’t imagine overseas players returning to Scotland if there is any chance of Covid returning every winter.
