    Scotland's coefficient is lower than the Isle of Man's now, surely. Knew I should have put a tenner on Ferencvaros.

    Actually I believe Scotland are up to 14th place in the coefficient. To the point where we will have TWO teams embarrassing themselves in the Champions League Preliminary Qualifying Round next season. 

  2. I put £10 on the SkyBet Special (both Ferguson and Gaethje to be knocked down in the fight 10/1). Watching live and with a head full of beer I could have sworn both were down at some point. However, SkyBet have settled the bet as lost this morning. 
     

    Other than the Waterson fight, I thought all the rest delivered. Although I felt the judges got a couple of the decisions wrong.

    I hate to admit it but when you don't have scales and you need to bake is the one time American cup measurements work. You did great @stumobir!

    On an unrelated note: most people know that I've done some cooking in my time. If you're down to the dregs of your cupboard, or want to use your free time to try cooking something new, or cook properly for the first time, and you'd like some advice or inspiration, please feel free to ask in this thread or PM me. I have the week off work, the doctor is in! 

    UKFF does Ready, Steady, Cook.

    No, it's perfectly fine. 

    It's also fine if people think less of those that do. 

    I’m fine with you thinking this. 
     

    I don’t necessarily agree. But that’s fine too.

    Had music on most of the day. Let It Be came on about an hour ago and now I’m digesting this.

    Can an admin rename @King Coconut as Pavlov, please?

    Then microwaves will be correct year round! 

    That’s if they were correct to start with. The clock on our hob in the kitchen has been completely out of sync since we moved in (8 years ago). Fuck knows what time zone the previous owners of the house were running with.

    8 fucking years I’ve been dealing with a spike in my OCD every time I enter that room.

    I'm certain I've mentioned before that I'm an NHS employee and live in Scotland so I'm sure this isn't relevant for the majority but I just wanted to say to those Bagpipers playing whilst everyone was clapping at 8...... your spoiling it for everyone.

    I thought the piper near us really added to the occasion. However, it was only a single piper and he solemnly played highland cathedral while everyone else clapped. 
     

    If it had been multiple pipers of varying quality all trying to play different tunes then I can imagine it would definitely take away from the moment. 

  8. TIL that Nikolai Volkoff‘s brother played in the 1974 World Cup, the 1976 European Championship, won the UEFA Cup in 1983 and managed Tony Cascarino and Fabian Barthez at Marseille in 1995. 

  9. I took a piss next to Roy Hodgson in the BA Lounge at T5 in June. 
     

    Fuck knows how he manages a football club because he seemed very reliant on his wife to find some seats, get some food, get some drinks, find out what gate to get to etc. She also stood outside the door to the gents toilets waiting on him like she was his carer.

    Had a few people over last night, and we decided to open up the bottle of Snake Venom - 67.5% beer.

     

    I expected it to be utterly terrible, but the taste itself wasnt unpleasant at all, though the alcohol burn was bloody strong! 

    I think it’s got a nice nutty caramel like taste. You are right about the burn though.

    Adding ice to it (like you would a whisky) helps.

    got charged at and attacked by a cow today, shoulda known better than to walk through the fields when they have young calves close by, it really shook me up, and hurt quite a bit. I am lucky i didnt get trampled, otherwise i may not be typing this

    Fairly cut up on my legs and arms and my watch broke, but could of been worse i guess

    careful around cows peeps

    due to this, i am going to have many beef burgers tomorrow 

    This has nothing to do with the cattle attack. Are denim hot pants and black trench coat your usual walking attire?

  12. But I don’t think it’s insane to think today that the Celtic team that won the EuropeanÂ ï»żcup back then comprised of not only all Scottish players, but players who had all been born within a 30 mile radius of Glasgow itself.ï»żÂ Â For the reasons I’ve just mentioned.

     

    It would be insane for it to happen in the current era however.

    Even as a Celtic fan I always feel this statistic is over egged. In the 60s, players very very very rarely moved between countries meaning that most squads were made of domestic players only. 

    Scotland were ranked in the top 5 in the world in 1967 and 50% of the Scottish population lived within 30 miles of Glasgow. 

    *30 mile radius covers approx 2,800 square miles.

    I always go with the Chinese curry sauce if it's available, I think I've already professed my love for buying it in powdered form and eating a few raw chunks..

    I can’t believe this has just been glossed over....

    So you basically chew on a curry flavoured oxo cube?

    Yeah, they're called "Czechia" now. Initially they were leaning towards "Cesko", but apparently former president and national hero Vaclav Havel said it "made his flesh creep".

    “Every Little Helps” surely???
