I roll out this joke every couple of months. My thanks to the Rangers board
Inclement conditions at Ibrox tonight
Flicked over to the rugby twice, for 30 seconds each time and the camera-man has been focused on Gerard Butler more than the actual play
When Jamie Pollock scored this unbelievable own goal!
Finally watched Adam Curtis' "Century Of Self" this week and it helped me understand our current political moment a bit more.

A bishop says βBut I didnβt do anythingβ. A priest replies βWell thatβs kind of the problemβ
This. This. This.
And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.
Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?
Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

π¦ βXβ turns dark, and the Sky turns Blue.
The move from X to Bluesky β a lesson on how progressives can take back control.
We are sandwiched between Real Madrid and Man City in the CL table, primed for a place in the playoffs, and you still have Mitchell bumping his gums about "luck".
Seriously odd behaviour for a Celtic fan π§
#OTD 2019. βBrexitβ Election. Johnson and the Conservatives win majority of 80.
It is Tories biggest win since 1987 and their highest share of the popular vote since 1979.

Club Brugge join those fortunate enough to have experienced the legendary thunderous Celtic Park Champions League Roar
