Nor did Argentina take that scalp tonight. And we were 4 pts shy ourselves this year in Dublin. Home adv may mean that it's a coin flip in 2025!

Argentina nearly did it tonight. Ireland ultimately with too much discipline in that defense to overcome. And too many caps, far too many caps - when are some of the 100+ retiring?

Been ill this week :( Elongated flu, still no feeling right 5 days later

Well enough for rugby the morn! Portugal, so the B team indeed, should be fun anyway. And mibbes ah can practice my Portuguese

Oi! Eu nao falo portugues. Tchao! Eu bebo uma cerveja por favor

 

Hullo boys and girls, what's the story today? Wouldn't you like to go?

Ba-la-mo-ry

 

Some analysis ahead of this weekend's matches

The UK government have to obey the law, but they also make the laws. This feels more procedure than outcome based appeals. And as such I'd be astonished if HMG decide to stop this

Yous in Scotland is great to wind up Proper English speakers. If they whinge they get a y'all

Great to see OpenAPI being even more embraced. It truly is fantastic for multi-team engineering

 

Back to back oil news from me today, apologies but both are big stories. For anyone that thinks Scotland is a renewable powerhouse: we've got a long way to go still!

 

Nice interview here. And a great quote

Dunno about you, but I ain't making >£1000 per day, and looking round Grangemouth nor are many of that workforce. It doesn't add up. It lacks credibility and still reeks of Jim sabre rattling for more tax rebates

Edit: just double checked my maths. That's only £100 per employee. Which is very believable. But I still want to see the books

 

Incredible figures. Literally. Let's see them laid out as the price of petrol says to me this can't possibly be true

I didn't once see or hear anything anti-English in my time there, but there are baduns the whole world over. Let's all agree not to be snobs or prejudiced against those without a local accent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

For sure, most are fine with it. But as a teuchter I did find quite a few struggling to understand my accent, which is pretty mild, and I'm pretty sure making fun in hindsight. I socialised mostly with other Scots as a consequence. Anyway, they wouldn't write this article if there wasn't some truth to it

You got that all correct! St Andrew's also has a snobbery issue, and Glasgow uni accent is also a thing in the west. But Edinburgh in particular is known for English 'yahs' who look down on the locals

 

Good luck getting Edinburgh to change here

 

News looked not news to me. So here's a red squirrel instead, a marvelous shot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, quite surprised at that. Did they use a football pitch, or was it the rugby stadium?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes that advantage was far too long. Scrum was a shitshow all game sadly, Scotland looked well out our depth

 

Hullo folks! How is life this week? Gettin affa dark affa early noo
