The Tartan Army are a credit to Scotland. Here they are in full voice singing ‘Loch Lomond’ in Boston Stadium last night for the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti. Absolutely glorious.
10 seconds in to Kuenssberg and Sturgeon’s said “I am not responsible for my husband’s crimes”. But YOU FUCKING WERE! You were LITERALLY HIS BOSS! It was UP TO YOU AND NOBODY ELSE to monitor what he did!
This is a ladybird larva. It looks nothing like a ladybird. It looks like a tiny black alligator with orange spots — and most gardeners crush it thinking it's a pest.
That mistake costs the garden dearly. An adult ladybird eats around 50 aphids a day. Its larva can devour up to 500 before it pupates. Ten times as many. That strange-looking creature working its way along your tomato stems is the most effective phase of a ladybird's entire life.
Once you know what to look for, the larva is unmistakable: an elongated blue-black body with six orange spots along the sides, six short legs, slow and methodical movement up and down stems. It doesn't fly, doesn't jump, doesn't hide. It moves from one aphid colony to the next and feeds continuously for two to three weeks before pupating.
The pupa looks like a small, still orange droplet fixed to a leaf — and it too gets removed during routine plant tidying. Inside it, the adult ladybird is forming.
If you find aphids on a plant and ladybird larvae among them, leave them alone. The biological control is already working.

As usual at this time of year we have people on worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their garden.
‘Are they dangerous?’
‘Should I have them removed?’
‘Will they be there forever?’
Here’s a quick #bumblebee#lifecycle thread to explain.

The FIA is saddened to learn of the passing of Alex Zanardi, the former Formula 1 driver, two-time CART champion whose journey from life-changing accident to Paralympics gold medallist made him one of sport’s most admired competitors and an enduring symbol of courage and determination.
So sad to hear that Alex Zanardi has quielty passed away nearly six years after his awful handbike accident. If ever there was a man to inspire people fighting advertsity then Alex was that man. A brilliant racing driver and an entertaining character. RIP Alex.
@ConnorGillies@crit_gen@SkyNews No such thing as "transgender".
He's a bloke.
And a bloke has NO PLACE in a women's prison.
Men in women's prisons is an obscenity of the highest order.
This isn't happenstance. John Swinney instructed his lawyers to go to court in February to argue that it was a man's human right to be placed in a woman's prison if he so desired.
The McArthur assisted death by suicide bill is going to have a horrific affect on Scotland.
Similar bills are destroying other western countries.
It’s not just a slippery slope - it’s a full blown plummet into chaos and coercion of the most vulnerable.
