Liverpool have won the league

maybe we'll all be all right

he's honestly lucky he won't interact with the Scottish or Northern Irish press pack, they'd have him in a world of trouble

right: saying he "doesn't want to lead an English party" while also saying he wants Scottish and Welsh independence definitely reinforces my general view about his seriousness...

(the kind of Q which might be relevant if there was, for example, a Senedd election in seven months where the Greens might gain a seat or two)
notthathunter.bsky.social
not the main point here, but surely if he's in favour of Welsh independence, then as GPEW leader he needs to be involved in splitting the English and Welsh parties into a federated structure?

seeing Brosnan steal scenes in “Black Bag” should be enough of a sell to convince them to make it
notthathunter.bsky.social
nah, the “shared universe” stuff was the worst part of the Craig era, this should just be about how a guy like Bond navigates being 70 and having some people come and try and kill him

they consider trying to lure Connery out of retirement for the gamekeeper role in Skyfall, before deciding it would be too distracting

also since the next main movie is going to take aaaages, Bezos should also greenlight an old man Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan, even a bad version of the concept would be easy money

not sure there's anyone in Scotland who can quite beat that record, but similar vibes to Andrew George in St Ives - he's stood for the same constituency at the last nine General Elections in a row, won five and lost four

also if we were a civilised country every Northern Ireland (and Scotland and Wales) men’s and women’s home game would be a listed event by Ofcom, since they spent almost two decades behind a variety of paywalls

what is BBC Four *for* if it’s not hosting Quizzy Monday in situations like this

(also, like Doctor Who clashing with Coronation Street in the 1980s, plenty of people, including me, would happily watch both!)

Americans will literally hand over thousands of dollars to an evil corporation just to go on one holiday where you can actually walk between the places you want to go to

the actual Lou Haigh could seriously advise Katy Perry on starting a new relationship with a centre-left ex-party leader who is also separated from his partner tbf

Colum Eastwood: 'I was offered a knighthood but turned it down'
The former SDLP leader says he was offered the honour but would not have accepted it.

tbh loudly discussing confidential details of the most infamous trial in the country on the phone while on a packed Waverley-Queen Street train didn't fill me with faith in the Dean of the Faculty of Advocates either

saw someone on instagram putting their own wedding photos through some AI tool to animate them

genuinely horrifying

you wonder what religious life is like in the Earth depicted in the Marvel movies, where Norse mythology has been shown to the entire planet to be the One True Faith

on that note, i'd recommend this morning's Scottish Government paper on independence, which features a short section on establishing an independent currency, then a short section on EU accession, the latter of which does not mention currency at all

think those two might be related, just a little

one of the cricket boundaries is too short for it to be used for men's internationals, I think
notthathunter.bsky.social
also the Oakland Coliseum has been hosting cricket matches in Major League Cricket - a few more baseball parks had exhibition cricket matches back in 2015: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket...

enjoyed this pod - using the Olympics as an example is probably cheating, but at the 2012 London Olympics, the beach volleyball was on Horse Guards Parade, which is where the King inspects the troops (and used to be used for car parking)

he'd have definitely got away with just saying Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby

(essentially the bulk of LD members in the region were from East Dunbartonshire, so he lost out to the candidate who had already been picked to run for Strathkelvin and Bearsden on the constituency ballot)

Greene didn't even win the selection contest to be the top candidate on the West Scotland Lib Dem list!
