@Arteymas_ I spent hours in 1978 in the summer evenings volleying a ball against a wall to perfect the Luquz and Kempes partnership. It was across a main A class road as well 😁 them were the days.

@LairdSummerisle Yip, how can it all unravel in 40-50 years. What will same period look like going forward 🤔 Re-alignment or further decline.

[Mart C @MartinCh2310]

@FootballInT80s What a period to be alive as a young man 👌

[Mart C @MartinCh2310]

@rennie_mjr I concur for same reasons.

@Janela_X Why is it a surprise, that lot have no interest (or knowledge) in business and growth.

@Stephen4_2 What a buzz that New Year, some team that was with Hans G, Snelders, Paul Mason & Co.

@caie_daniel @putey_pute @eliz_lizbith88 @Janesie1903 It was all nuts. Whenever "they" made shut down announcements I just jumped on the Friday night Easyjet Aberdeen to Luton and had a great wkend in London. Sorted. Never had Covid once by the way.

Aberdeenshire was clear in 2014
60.4% voted overwhelmingly NO to Scexit, on a huge turnout and that hasn’t changed.
We didn’t want Edinburgh rule then, and we don’t want it now.
Aberdeenshire has real economy
North Sea energy, fishing, farming, engineering - high productivity assets you're busy strangling with centralised Holyrood incompetence and Net-zero madness.
Decisions made in Edinburgh, are the problem.
Aberdeenshire is not too small to succeed - we're too successful to be shackled to you unqualified separatist grifters

Focus on fixing the division and that the SNP have created instead of chasing another divisive indy referendum that no one outside of your indy echo chamber wants.

Marcelo Bielsa: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline.

"It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore.

"If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football.

"For me, the introduction of technology like VAR does a lot of harm to football.

"This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal.

"As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."

The Scottish Government pissed away £2.186 million of your fucking taxpayer money on 63 NDAs and gagging orders between 2020/21 and 2025/26.

All 63 of those NDAs? For @theSNP’s own staff. Their own people. ⚠️

Peak year was 2023/24 – £629,742 blown across 18 settlements, with individual payoffs hitting £113,635 a pop. Mostly under the watch of those two clowns @NicolaSturgeon and @HumzaYousaf.

Is it time to open the lid on the Gaza and El Nakla Ransom again? The Balmoral incident? Because that list is 63 documents long, you absolute bastards. We could be here all fucking night.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Court order lifted for 48 hours. Ooops admin error.

@MrPitbull07 I really hope this story is true, it is quite remarkable.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

The restrictor remained in use until 1943, when the full pressure carburetor finally arrived. It had kept British pilots alive for two years in the middle of the war they couldn't afford to lose.

After the war she worked on the Blue Streak missile. She studied what wet runways do to braking distances. She helped design a bobsled for the RAF Olympic team. In 1967 she solved overheating problems on an Eagle Mk1 Formula 1 car.
She never received a top promotion at the RAE. Such positions, she was told, were for men.
She received an OBE in 1949. The citation said "services to aviation." It did not mention the washer.
She retired from the RAE in 1969. She kept racing motorcycles and sports cars. She modified and tuned both in her home workshop until she couldn't anymore.
She died on November 18, 1990. She was 81.
The Battle of Britain is one of the most documented events in British military history. Hundreds of books. Dozens of films. Memoirs by the pilots who flew in it. Almost none of them mention the carburetor problem. Almost none of them mention her.
The pilots who benefited most never knew her name. They just knew that when they pushed the nose down, the engine kept running.

Could Pep Guardiola do what Sir Alex Ferguson did at Aberdeen?
Could he take on a middle of the road club and surpass the 2 massively dominant clubs in that league and then take them to European glory?
He has never and will never take on that challenge.

@sharrond62 Outrageous!

[Stewart Michael @MikeStewart79]

🚨 Absolute car-crash moment at the Edinburgh Southern hustings.

SNP candidate @DeidreBrock just admitted she “does not subscribe” to teaching kids reading, writing and arithmetic… because “modern children have calculators.”

After 20 years of SNP laziness and breathtaking incompetence that’s dragged Scotland into the gutter, they’ve now given up on the basics entirely.

Too incompetent to teach. Too lazy to care.

This is their “progressive” vision for Scottish education in 2026?

The audience was flabbergasted!! So is Scotland.

Your thoughts? 👇 #SNPFail #ScotlandInTheGutter @JennyGilruthMSP

@Day17_Anne @afneil Today's example, apparently Dubai is a ghost town. While some high end hotels have indeed closed as tourist focused I can assure it ain't no ghost town. Roads busy as usual, Mall's busy and could not get moved when at Kite beach last weekend.

[Mart C @MartinCh2310]

@Juve38Wa98021 @afneil They can stop the boats anytime they want, they just don't want to.

Nicola Sturgeon blasts Nigel Farage for being 'not who he pretends to be'. As a reminder, and just for context, Nicola Sturgeon married Peter Murrell. https://t.co/QPYFyatfb9
