Significant moment tonight as the Scottish parliament votes in favour of assisted dying. Still a ways to go but hopefully this will ease the suffering of many. I’ve listened to a bit of the debate and don’t see the credibility in any of the argument for opposing this bill. MSPs at Holyrood back Scotland's assisted dying bill with 14 vote majority WWW.BBC.CO.UK Following an emotional debate the vote on the general principles of...

Family day out in the sun. What life is all about.

Which is ridiculous in my opinion. I think the abuse of vulnerable kids was rife across society and existed anywhere there was opportunity, in schools, children’s homes, churches, all manner of sports and activities.., blind eyes turned in all of them. The BBC with the fame and stardust of some of its staff provided opportunity, but I don’t subscribe to the notion that it was/is one big enabling ring. Things are seldom black and white, and I reckon there’ll be good people caught up in all this historical stuff take guilt to their grave that they should have seen or said something. Said before

The David Jason rumours have been around over a decade now, and not sure there’s ever actually been any allegation or investigation. It’d be a shame if they turned out to have any substance. Nothing tends to surprise me now though. As said, this stuff finds fuel with the gossip-mongers and ambulance chasers in Facebook and the like.., and there seems to be no recourse for the insinuations and slurs made against individuals. I don’t do FB etc. but I believe the law is quick to jump all over people making comments that might be construed as racist, sexist, homophobic etc., but no help to anyon

RIP. Always enjoyed reading his stuff. He’d probably forgotten more about hunting rabbits than many now will ever learn.

Look like a pair of weirdos who couldn’t get a ride if they fell into a barrel of fannies. I’d definitely be checking their hard drives too. It’s vandalism at the end of the day, and as such a bit of a fcuk you to the rest of society. But its also a tree, not sure how a court could hand down a lengthy custodial sentence when the won’t jail scumbags caught with thousands of sick images of kids. The world has gone mad.

To be fair it’s a while since I’ve done it. Don’t the budget airlines still have cheap seats if you book early enough?

Not buying whisky casks. I remember lads at work going on about this as a sure thing a couple of years ago..,reckon a good few have lost out in this scam. Decent watch this actually.

Depends what you’re after. I’ve booked everything separate rather than a package a few times. Found flights sometimes cheaper.., and used AirBnB accommodation.

Maybe if they weren’t taking huge bungs to lose matches…?

300,000 snooker halls in China, and now with their first world champion it’ll likely explode in popularity!

To be fair, Trump was poor but he’ll come again. Long term China is the future of snooker. The ‘class of ‘92’ grew up watching snooker in its hey-day in the ‘80’s. And the likes of Selby, Trump etc. had Hendry to look up to when they all practised down the local snooker club in the 90’s. A lot of the snooker clubs are long gone, or they’re full of pool tables now. Not many kids could tell you what snooker is. Think within 10 years you’ll be lucky if there’s two Brits in the top 16.., and Trump might be one of them. Sad really.

No offence but he’s hardly a riveting watch. And surely if you’re going to live like that you’ve got to have your admin sorted.., and a waterproof tent is number one on the list. Good luck to him I say, hopefully he’s living his dream.

Looking ominous for Williams. 7-1 down and Xintong hasn’t even got started yet.

Looks like the ginger whinger is trying to plot a route back. He really is a dirty little weasel and his family are well rid. Can’t stand the whole lot of them but can sympathise after the utter treachery of the Oprah thing and the book. All that money and privilege and he’s still as thick as two short planks.

Ronnie has had a new cue built with a titanium rather than brass ferrule. Apparently not as forgiving if you get a bit of ‘unwanted’ side. Only watched a few frames this morning but he was missing balls off their spots and seemed to have no control of the white. Totally out of sorts.
-
New cue and he can’t play with it. He’d be better binning it and trying something else.

Your arse collapsed you mean

Like I said, I bet the Chinese kid at the start. I think he’s the real deal. Ronnie can beat him, obviously, but I think he’ll need to play very well. Love watching Ronnie, but can’t stand his constant moaning and negativity.

Interesting that the curlew in particular gets a lot of press as being ‘red list’ endangered.., and the usual culprits of intensive farming and climate change often get the rap for it. No-one ever really seems to mention increased predation. A lot of animals and birds which might take eggs or chicks from ground or near ground nesting birds, the foxes, badgers, otters, stoats, weasels, buzzards and likely most corvids must be having an easier time of it as hunting…, either directly or in predator control on managed estates etc., falls into decline. Deer will also eat eggs or chicks if they co

An elephant born in a barn.., doesn’t make it a cow.

Fantastic little birds. Always a joy when I get them in the garden. Trees outside my work are full of them, even in the last week. I thought they’d all be paired up and doing their own thing by now.

Natural history documentaries where the prey always escapes, or the cute little baby survives some misadventure. Always with the jeopardy but never the cruel and unhappy ending. These programmes should be educational, and even if we’re don’t get to see some of the more gruesome brutality of nature, these should be true to life. I want to see more iguanas eaten by snakes and ostrich chicks baked alive by the searing heat of the African desert…, that’s why I pay my licence fee.

Nature is cruel.., who knew.

No expert but I do enjoy the calls of the various birds, and particularly songbirds. Think I posted on another thread that the song thrush is maybe my favourite of them all. Other favourites include: A robin singing solo on a dark winter morning, weeks before the other birds have even thought about spring, but brings a bit of hope that it’s on its way. A Skylark in a field on a hot cloudless summers day, where there’s that hum of insect life all about you, and you have to squint up into the bright blue to try and spot the lark, a mere speck in the sky. The ‘twittering’ sound of
