That’s next on my fiction pile. In the meantime I’m reading The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Religion.

Evolution is based on survival of the fittest. When society started looking after its weaker members, evolution stopped working the way it used to. Where are we going? No idea.

It doesn’t matter how far the ball has travelled. If they check for offside AFTER the ball has been kicked, it’s wrong.

Or how about having some extra refs watching on TV, in slow motion from many camera angles. Then they'd be able to always give the right decision. :eek:

Adingra and Veltman need to pass the ball forwards - almost everything that goes down the right comes back to the half way line.

It's snowing in Austria! Very wet snow in the village which isn't lying, but from about 1,000 m and up it's starting to look like a ski resort. Forecast for the next week is no more precipitation, but temperature down to zero every night.

We've had a dusting of snow above 2,000 m in the Salzburg area with more due on Tuesday night, but nothing significant on the pistes yet.

No sign of snow in the Kitzbuhel area yet, but the weather has turned autumnal. Short term forecast is mild and mainly dry. I expect we'll be skiing around the second week of December, quite possibly on artificial snow.

Clean sheet

Why does it matter what time it is? If you want to get up an hour ealier/later - fill your boots.

I thought the actor who plays Sandy had a shit Scottish accent, until I visited Shetland and discovered that's exactly how the locals talk! EDIT the actor Steven Robertson is actually from Shetland, so that's his natural accent.

And which player might that have applied to?

So who was offside?

a) who was offside, and b) if it was offside, why did the ref go to the screen?

Spain goal (that involved Ansu Fati) disallowed after ref went to to the screen (isn't VAR supposed to make offside decisions?). After this and the VAR confusion over Scotland's goal against Spain, I don't understand what VAR is doing any more. Can anyone explain why the goal was disallowed?

The situation is very clear - they have f*cked up. Accor is responsible. I would ask them for a full refund, plus all your additional costs plus compensation for your watsed time and stress. If they didn't quickly respond put it in the hands of a solicitor. They don't have a leg to stand on.

In terms of religious belief most of the world is wrong. If any one religion (or atheism) is right, most (or all) of the rest of them are wrong. The fact that the majority of the world believe in contradictory religions shows that man is wired to believe, not that god exists.

So I bought on Amazon.de - slightly cheaper, but discount code doesn't work
