BAR OWNER: “You’re OK at making drinks, but are you good at changing the channel on a TV?”

BARTENDER INTERVIEWEE: “I am the literal worst channel changer of all time.”

BAR OWNER: “You start tomorrow.”

The sga statement suggests Var decisions are subjective. They are meant to be clear and obvious on the angles viewed. If the standard is actually subjectivity and not what the rules say, determined with minimal camera angles as in Scotland maybe better not to have it.

@sweenyness @ProtectTheWild_ 100% agree. https://t.co/iepKN1qm0b

It says a lot about this bird-brained campaign that he's standing in an Edinburgh constituency rather than the Western Isles.

Very much looking forward to this event at Edinburgh Uni on Friday - to mark the publication of the second edition of The Law of Property in Scotland. I'll be speaking in the afternoon. https://t.co/yMnXVKMgzU

Yes, because you now have two homes.

I posted a thread yesterday about what the SNP and certain other parties are saying about land reform and housing in their manifestos. If anyone has any thoughts about what else is worth including, let me know.

That's the SNP Manifesto for Holyrood 2026 out. Given the way the polls are looking, I'm going to offer some thoughts on what it says about land reform and housing here. I'll then branch off into what some other parties say (Labour; Reform; Greens). > https://t.co/ZW2GQihH5l

@Scott_Wortley Maybe. Also, I suppose there is a lex situs consideration for lets of land that you don't get with consumer goods/commercial stuff (even before you now think of internal market stuff).

🇵🇾 Meanwhile in Paraguay, a striker missed a penalty and an opposition defender booted the ball, hitting the striker in the face & the ball went into the net.🤣👏

They also touch on public access to land and transparency. Separately, they say they'll strengthen rent controls for residential tenants. This is probably the most radical of the manifestos (I suppose because they are unlikely to actually form the Scottish Government themselves).

The Greens also commit to "updating Community Right to Buy legislation to make it easier" with a view to empowering communities, and "a review of succession law to ensure the inheritance of landholdings does not contribute further to Scotland’s monopoly of landownership." >
