Family. Ex-teacher sport especially rugby union, (Scotland/Edinburgh/Hawick) and horse racing. Rock music, malt whisky, dodgy puns. Often found near cheese... Occasional political wafflings. Will follow back all non-spam accounts

"Trump admits there were no evacuation plans for Americans abroad due to his war with Iran "because it all happened very quickly.""
Just a year plus in office to make one but far too busy with ethnic cleansing at home to bother.
Absolutely!

"How many allies have you left, Mr Trump?"
One possible answer.
"Germany, Germany love us, I'm telling you Germany is a wonderful country with a great leader..."
Oh, The. Forever. Irony!
No friends left anywhere.
Sooner than you think.
We couldn't give a shit about what you think of us, Trump.
Special relationships are for countries we admire.
Pretty much all of us loathe you.

The U.K.
History has rightly exposed Jimmy Saville for the utterly contemptible individual he was and the truly sickening crimes he committed.
Imagine what it's going to make of Trump when the time comes. ๐ฒ
Indeed not, Sloan, infac I rather fear they don't have a strong suit, full stop!

The First Casualty, in war, as per the maxim, is Truth.
Believe nothing and no-one.
But don't doubt, the growing number of nuclear capable countries involved means the risk of global catastrophe is higher than ever before.
We may feel powerless, but we must at least politicians to account.
How many chances do you need! And then they get away with one.
Watkin was so low that was very fortunate for Ospreys.

You're right. Lineout was shocking too. A real Scottish disease these days.
But for Harry's moment, making up for his yellow, which in a way was the result of other people's errors anyway, a game that wouldn't have been won.
Peak Edinburgh tonight. Finding ways to keep the scoreboard exciting.
Especially for Scarlets fans
Rare political ramble, if this win for Greens (who I won't vote for) shakes up this pitiful Parliament then it's worth it.
Hannah Spencer's acceptance speech is one of the best I've seen, I'm 68 - if it makes people stop and think even for a moment about the divisive path Reform pursue, it's a plus
So what's ACTUALLY being said here is that any testifier is supposed to be chilled or looking happy during the Epstein enquiry?
GIVE US ALL A BREAK.

Bayliss was early, you're right, maybe injury, but I was more thinking of the front row.
George is arguably a more logical number one choice than LCD and I'd have Schoeman starting every day ahead of McBeth unless it's tactical.
Our front rows have struggled late in games. Maybe a deliberate ploy?
Intrigued by possible new trend. Scotland pulled Macbeth, England LCD and France Gros, all before HT.
Wonder if some of this is pre-planned?
They were struggling but maybe aim to end with as strong a front row as starting with?
Eg; Toonie has been criticized for use of bench. Thoughts? #rugby ๐
