At half time at Hampden tonight they attempted a 'celeb lookalike in the stands' thing but they'd only found a couple of examples, so once they'd shown them, they just said...right well, if you see anyone at future games, let us know

Interesting how Liam Gallagher (and Oasis generally) is maintaining his beloved status despite, from what I can see, replying to anyone pointing out £200+ tickets calling them a gimp or whatever

I know I'm getting older because when I was 18, all my friends and I did was go to the pub. From what I've observed, the only thing 18 year old guys are interested in these days is going to the gym and being on every machine

Seeing the clips from the Denmark game again pre match... The circumstances, the timings, the manner of the goals. Actually think it's underrated, despite everything. Not sure that game will be bettered in my lifetime.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Okay so it usually takes me 5 mins to walk to the train station. And 1-2 minutes to buy my ticket. Therefore I better leave 25 minutes beforehand and have 18 minutes needlessly waiting around. Just in case everything is different today

Scene from the Office (US) with Ed Sheeran's head on Michael Scott's body.

Panel 1: Ed saying 'I declare I am not complicit!'
Panel 2: Oscar saying 'I just wanted you to know that you can't just say I am not complicit and expect anything to happen.'
Panel 3: Ed saying 'i didn't say it, I declared it.'

Scotland is such a white country, when someone describes themselves as 'mixed', it usually means half their family supports Rangers and half their family supports Celtic

 Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He’s now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.

His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They don’t have disabled separate toilets.

In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.

He’s been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.

I do not know how to support him and as he’s not in a union there is no one to turn too right now.

The Proclaimers in 2013 vs the Proclaimers today
Speaking from rehearsals for the tour Charlie Reid explained: “I support equality, and equality in marriage is part of that. It’s vital that gay people be given the same rights as straight people.”

Craig Reid added: “If you believe in equality, and you know that something is unequal, then you want to do something about it. It’s not doing anybody harm, it’s not lessening rights; it’s extending rights and that’s why we support it. We’re progressive people; we think that Scotland has to move forward, and equal marriage for gay and transgender people is part of that
The Proclaimers: The trans lobby are truth-phobic
Ahead of a provocative new album, Craig and Charlie Reid on their anger at the SNP, Western warmongering and the imperilment of free speech
