I'm listening to Spotify, and I just heard an advert saying at Betfair, you get paid out at 90 minutes, doesn't matter how much extra time is played!

I presume they're talking about the Sportsbook, but how the fuck does that work if the result changes?

They're for use when it's not obvious. Think about what I said. I blamed the former Spanish FA president for an unrelated incident where a reporter was groped. Only you could possibly think I was being serious!
I have thought about it and in my view it was not obvious, it has now become a convenient twist claimed by you to justify you are blameless in a misunderstanding but I do apologise for not remembering that you are always right ... how silly of me.

I'm sure most people would realise Rubiales can't be held responsible for every sexual assault that occurs in Spain, therefore it would have been obvious to everybody except you. :)

Holiday on the east fife coast confirms that birdlife is making a comeback. In May I saw one gannet across 7 days of walking. 2 weeks ago I saw a healthy procession of gannets (processing and plummeting as they hunt is what they do par excellence), complete with a healthy population of juveniles.
Not just one day but several of days of the week we were there.
Two fly by's from kestrels.
A field of 6 herons.
2 rabbits on the St Andrews path out west.
Why does this stuff make me so happy?

Well I'm sure you are right Derek, it's just me showing how stupid I am because you are never wrong, you are always right. I can't be bothered to continue with this one. The facts I do know are that I didn't see it as light hearted, you didn't immediately claim it to have been light hearted and I don't know if it was obvious or not to others. I can't imagine the heavy responsibility you must carry from knowing what "everybody else" knows/thinks and maybe in future I should take into account the strain that must place on you..

I picked that avatar out of desperation to remove my week's loss, after a new PC week started. It was beginning to irritate me. :)

Makes sense, I was beginning to think you were having a midlife crisis :)

Does this look like a real gun? I would have thought the water tank would give it away. :lol: :lol:

I'm so so jealous. All I see is them BIG black birds, pigeons, and urban ocean birds that bully all the other birds. And Ladyboys.

Apparently, training guidelines changed, they are to treat every gun as potentially being real, regardless of what it looks like or whoever is holding it.

I am lucky indeed.
Forgot to mention the sighting of school of dolphins that cruised past providing entertainment for 10 minutes. It's weird how much fun spotting dolphins is. Or maybe I'm just weird. Nature lurks closer than you think. Although it sounds like you're unlikely to see a dolphin.
