Very few horror films creep me out these days but this one did. Has a real atmosphere to it and a handful of scenes that I still remember vividly. +1 on the recommendation.

Bandcamp order in before closing time 🙌 It’s rare to go in blind on an album these days, but (a) I had a lovely evening of nice food and drink with some pals and this chimed with that while I had my last whisky, and (b) I trust you two. Looking forward to sitting down with it.

I honestly think the people who make or defend AI music don't actually like music. And I don't mean that as an attack, I don't really care if that's what you're into, but music is, at least to me, so fundamentally human that I don't know what you're getting from it.

Anyone goes *near* pensioners and the discourse is up in arms about how very dare the government. Meanwhile, the kids are having an absolutely horrendous time, from pandemic recovery to MH to the housing market to every damn thing and it's pretty much <crickets>

Amazing. One of ours did that a while back. Took me a good 5 minutes to work out what was tripping the fuse box. Equal parts cute and agent of chaos.

Yeah he’s never been a training ground manager by all accounts but I still struggle to believe that he’s happy to go with whatever he’s told to go with on match day whether it’s John Robertson or Shaun Maloney. That must be at minimum a joint decision.

Martin B @martinb8.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think he’s a strong enough character to choose the tactics. But it doesn’t look like we’re well prepared on the training ground for whatever those are right now.

Martin B @martinb8.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think if we line up 4-3-3 then we’ll be lucky to get out with a draw. We don’t move the ball fast enough right now to make it work. Too predictable I think we need to try something different (McInnes curveball at Ibrox won them that game). 2nd half on Thu suggests MON maybe thinks the same.

Martin B @martinb8.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Worryingly, I read MON’s Changing Game this week and I now recognise his philosophy in our recent performances. He talks about how you can coach defending but when it comes to attack it’s really just down to ‘the team with the best players will usually win’. If that’s the extent of our tactics…

That’s fair. But there is a thread that runs through Plaid Cymru, Sinn Fein and the SNP, which sets up the potential for a strategic alliance that addresses the imbalance of power that the three nations face when it comes to No.10. My hope is that they *make* it a thing.

For me it’s the fact that we HAVE made a few decent moves in the transfer market this year but it’s been proven to be too little too late. Was blatantly obvious weeks ago we needed a robust CM and cover for FBs. Do that business and we’re most likely in the draw today.

The 3 first ministers have to go in united on this. It’s not a good look for any of them if they allow the agenda to be dictated only by what the Prime Minister of England is willing to talk about.

Hi lovelies, we're sadly having to find a new loving home for our sweet cat Indie. My Disability and our dwindling finances mean we're not able to afford or physically upkeep her care any more. If you know anyone in the Blackpool/Lytham area who'd give her a loving home please DM or email me💖💔🙏

Yes. Last night was a disaster but we need to look at Europa as a chance to build back from a low point IMO. I’d rather we protest the board in other ways. Remember, anyone that misses the group stage isn’t allowed to jump back on the bus when we go on a MON run in the knockouts… 😜

OK but TBF that bit should be easy. No other NATO member pays for another’s nuclear weapons. This idea of independence negotiations being tricky, therefore we should just forget the whole thing, is weak. There’s lots of worthy arguments for and against. I just don’t think that’s one of them.

Martin B @martinb8.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Less than 10% of NATO member states have nuclear weapons. Outside of the money Scotland would put in to NATO as a whole, I’m genuinely unsure why we’d have to pay to maintain England’s nuclear arsenal?
