I think they’ve had to ditch the Greens as it’s harming them with undecided voters….id guess there have already been behind the scene talks with Alba to make sure the inevitable “no confidence” vote is as secure as it can be

I'd certainly prefer Tierney where he is but he's possibly more replaceable at LCB than Hickey is at RWB. Flights to Stuttgart all sorted, Motorhome booked and pick-up arranged with 70% of our berths booked.....trying to leave a little flexibility between games to maybe head into Black Forest area etc. Can't wait for it to be honest although a little concerned about two weeks in a confined space with the Mrs and our youngest (20yo) daughter

Aye, hopefully Hickey can get fit (I prefer him to Patterson) but even if he's 90% fit this allows us to take him and someone else (Stephen O'Donnell probably if history is anything to go by). It could also allow us to push Tierney over to RWB if required.

I think in our case it's more about cover and might allow us to take a risk on a player who is recovering from injury and "might" just make it.

I don’t know if he’s bought it or renting but he’s definitely moved into a house close to a Buddie of mine in the last couple of weeks.

For all that is true I remember reading all the same last year about how teams would improve and we'd struggle if we stood still. We are where we are this year through good coaching and most of the players playing well most of the time....it'll ever be thus.

Could it be Stav, I'm sure his club said they were hopeful he may get an opportunity either with another club in the top division or the championship

Incorrect, what I don’t quite get is the glee you express when you perceive something has gone wrong

For all that is correct he had been training with us for some considerable time while waiting for the transfer window to open.

Sounds like you had a bit of a “ding-dong” with your dentist too 👩🏼‍🔬

Trees and sign-posts down in Inverkip and my Buddy on Tiree had a caravan (not his) blown into his garden.

Enjoy the freedoms of the open road FS

Heading for the ferry just now and absolutely gutted to be leaving this behind 🥶

Enjoy Buddie

There is an auxiliary powers supply (generator) on the island for when the electricity goes down, which happens from time to time, but I also have a home battery back up supply system as well......it'd be difficult for any "time-critical" admin or online business to survive without it out here, it's a much hardier way of life but all the better for it.

I haven't cleared the snow off the Starlink so far @Albanian Buddy although the sun and salt air take care of it fairly quickly and there's been no drop off in speed/performance etc......the installer put in extra insulation tubing around the cables and he has boxed in the external connections. The installer is contracted to do a system check (including cables/connections) annually but as it's Tiree (and he's a pal) it's every six months......this'll be our first full winter with the system but all good so far👍

A wee look out my window this morning on Tiree, snowing quite hard just now which is all pretty unusual out here!!

Snowy here on Tiree just now but don't expect it'll lie for too long, strong and bitterly cold winds from the North but sun starting to break through......hopefully that'll get the "feels like" temperature somewhere above -10 !!!!!

In fairness I think it’s fairly well documented that this was part of Cameron’s initiation process into the Bullingdon Club, an absolutely abhorrent collection of entitled, rich kids that believe their role is to shite all over the “lesser” classes as some sort of right of passage.

That’s not what I use it for though…..I need to go through a VPN link to my office, connect to the server and then run various programmes and processes simultaneously. As I said to FS, not everyone needs the download speed that I do but for a system (package) that I can switch on and off ( don’t pay for off) and charge to my business it is very decent value for money.

We’ve taken up Starlink” for Wi-Fi at the cottage and getting 270 Mb of download (which is mental). They do a package for motorhomes, boats etc….£75.00 per month but you’re not in contract and can switch package on and off when your not using it

Aye, still here FS and staying on until Thursday…..weather taken a wee turn from the dry, bright and sunny last 7 days to a wee bit overcast with a wind running in from the North 💨 🥶. Plenty of Flu and Colds about but managed to evade them so far, seems to be lingering with people longer than normal. Hope you’re back to feeling better soon.

Currently on Tiree and for the first time in my memory(over 50 years) having to scrape ice off the car windows, our cottage is right by the shore so the salt air usually takes care of it.
