Great games for GB. Watched Nicola Adams talking to Clare Balding this morning, banging on about the turnaround and success of the ‘England’ boxing team. This, just after watching the Welsh girl Lauren Price win gold. Pair of ignorant bints. A lot of the BBC’s coverage has been sub-standard to put it kindly, littered with poor presenting and punditry, but they have long since given up on quality in favour of ‘diversity’.

The NC500 and now covid have destroyed the most beautiful part of Scotland for me. -
Barton been at it again. This time accused of kicking his wife in the head. Oh dear.

Phew!!! Thought I was going to read Fury v Wilder III, “The Bomber Strikes Back”, was off till next year.

Don’t mind the track and field, and maybe a bit of gymnastics and swimming, but there’s some rubbish at the games. They have skateboarding in it now ffs. I appreciate there’s a bit of skill in it but the whole competition seemed to be about who fell off the least. In the women’s event, gold and silver were won by 13 year olds! With the bronze going to a 16 year old ‘veteran’.

The importance of saying “this is a stupid idea”

16 year old drowned in Loch Lomond on Friday, the very next day a man, woman and child drown in the same loch, with another child in intensive care. Tragic. -
Don’t mind cats, but hate the destruction of wildlife they cause. Estimated that they kill over 100 million birds and mammals in the UK each year. Must be 1000+ times more than all the dogs in the country, but very little ever said about it. And don’t get me started on the free roaming and sh!tting in gardens etc. It should be legal to shoot/trap/poison the fcuking things on your property. Hmmm, turns out I do mind cats ?

Amazing that this was effectively written by two ‘kids’, but the real genius for me was casting Robin Williams.

More a sequence than a scene, but love the ending to this.

Seems we did win Euro ‘20 after all ??????? More than 1,200 people in Scotland died of drug misuse last year, new figures show. The much-delayed figures show a record number of deaths for the sixth year in a row and the highest total since records began in 1996. The figure of 1,264 is a 6% increase on 2018 and more than double the number of deaths in 2014. It is the worst rate recorded in Europe and about three and a half times the rate for England and Wales.

That’s kind of what was on my mind. Griffiths is a grade A idiot, but he was investigated with no further action taken so presumably innocent of any wrong doing. But I guarantee he’ll be looked upon as a nonce by many for a long time to come. Not really fair, but mud sticks.

Has he been charged? If it turns out he’s guilty he should be strung up.., simple, but if it turns out he did nothing wrong then, fcuk me, you wouldn’t wish this on your worst enemy. His life is fcuked either way. Hope the rozzers get to the bottom of it asap.

I’ll send you something to put on its neck. Should sort the flea problem, just PM your addy mate ?

Kind of agree, but I think the boy McAleese had the CV for it, no? And he hand picked most of the guys brought in for it. Maybe some of the military minded members could advise, but I’d have thought that when mounting an assault from the air, that the weather and cloud conditions would be right up there in terms of planning priorities? “Fail to plan, then plan to fail” right enough. Think they were all very lucky to get out of Colombia alive!

Killing Escobar. Documentary about Brit and Ozzy mercenaries hired by the Cali cartel to kill Pablo Escobar. Not the best but still a fascinating story, even though the mission failed pretty spectacularly. Think it’s on iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vw6l

The importance of saying “this is a stupid idea”

This weather always gets people in the water, and then we have the inevitable deaths that follow. Some poor guy was fished out of Thriepmuir reservoir near Edinburgh today. You can (and should) teach your kids to swim, but they’ll still make stupid decisions. Your only hope is they get to live and learn from them. In my early twenties, after a night spent in the boozer, a pissed up group of us decided to jump off the bridge in Grantully on the river Tay. It’s not particularly high, but the river runs very quick there (the rapids above are used by the Scottish canoe slalom team for train -
Done well to make 59 with his lifestyle. RIP

Will be remembered as a very good player from a very good era for football. RIP

I must’ve had a smart phone maybe 15 years. Never ‘update’, just keep adding to contacts. Reckon I must have at least 50-100 I’ll never ring again (unless I hear they’ve won the Euro-millions) and a dozen at least that are now dead ?Funny I can’t bring myself to delete the numbers of dead people off my phone. Is that normal, or am I weird?

‘Sake. Feared the worst for him there ?

Steal the jab?

Spent a few nights in Dingle with the missus a few years back. Got ‘talking’ with an older couple at the next table to us. Chatted for about half an hour.., I didn’t understand a fcukin word they said. Lovely people in a beautiful part of the world though.

Had a look on some near me. Can’t say they look ‘busier’ than normal. Not saying there isn’t an increase in rescues due to lockdown, but the impression of there being a crisis is probably good for fund raising. Thing is you look on Gumtree and the like, even adult dogs being sold for hundreds, even thousands. No end to the madness in sight yet.

Always reckon it’s easier to regret something you did, rather than something you didn’t. As been said, life is short, and so if you’re that unhappy, make the change. If it was me I’d want to get enough cash saved to cover me for at least a couple of months, just in case it takes a while to get going. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Enjoyed watching him fight. RIP
