Renewable energy is the future but not how you may think! The best renewable locations aren’t near large conurbations - therefore the energy loss in transfer makes it uneconomically. So think the Sahara for solar and off western Hebrides for wind - miles from anywhere. So instead of...
I got more Liverpool than Man City, but I remember in the 80s didn’t Man U have more ‘star’ players than Liverpool - it’s all about the sum of the parts = Leicester title winning team (take out Mahrez, N’Kante and Vardy there was nothing great about the rest)
Metal / hard rock must be one of the widest genres around- must be something In it for everyone. Classic rock (Sabbath, DP, LZ) nwobhm (iron Maiden, Saxon), hair (Poison), stadium (Def Leppard, Bon Jovi), AOR (journey), glam (t-Rex), thrash (Slayer, Metallica), stoner (kyuss), doom, power...
Wtf are you going to do in Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness for a day and as for Fort William. Edinburgh great for 3 or 4 days, Glasgow best city to visit in the UK (and I didn’t realise that until I went for a long weekend about 8 years ago - always thought it was a dump).
Go up M6 turn left at...
When working overseas I was told never talk about religion, politics or sex (or guns if in USA). Therefore ignoring all this when I last chatted about healthcare when i was in the states (it was Texas) it was at the time Obama was standing for election so c2008, it was shocking what educated...
Queen of the South have released 16 first team players (out of 18) due to Covid19, so Stephen Dobbie is basically trading with kids. Supposedly Dunfermline have done the same. Just shows how bad it must be for teams outside of Premier League. Will Scotland still have 42 league teams and will...
After trying for ages to get a dog through rescue place for ages (they said having a 13year old daughter made most dogs unsuitable for us!?), we just kept looking at pets4homes for a rehoming and 4 weeks later found a 7month old Airedale. She has been superb, hardly molts at all, very...
This game brings back memories, I was in Ethiopia and had to travel to Jima - a 7hr drive from Addis Adaba. Land cruiser was late in ariving and we only had 6hrs to make journey and told our driver if he couldn’t do it I wasn’t going - to the horror of my boss. Anyway driver did make it just...
Easy, one big penalty shoot out at St. George’s - each team arrives in its own coach keeps separate from each other during day long session, ball is sterilised each time. You get 4 days of this L2, L1, Chamionship then Premier, sky could really make this an event! Or do what NASL did instead...
Well lockdown has done it so I’ve managed to do 30 seasons on FM Touch and it then decided to ‘retire me’ at 68. I got a message of congratulations then all I can hit is is ‘relinquish’ button - not happy only 25 titles, 23 domestic cups and 37 trophies and I had just rebuilt my team for the...
Austria (near Salzburg) - probably best two holidays we’ve ever had (stunning scenery) and Jordan - if you not been you must before you die visit Petra.
