Sad to see the state of Scottish football these days compared to back in the day. In contrast we have a team from Cyprus(pop 300K) get through in style to champions league tonight. A model we need to study in this country too

You could hardly blame him. He had nothing to lose. Might as well bring a few down with him.

So I'm off work today to childmind as the grandparents are away for their holidays. Thinking I was all foreword planning I was making a lamb korma for the dinner tonight and had to go out to speak to lorry driver as I'm getting driveway done. Came back in to find him with a mouthful of Cardoman pods and her chewing on a ginger stem. Thought they would be entertained by the 21 yr old girl driving the digger outside the window but it appears their father is more entertained. 😉 think we might go to the sheep market instead of their mothers recommendation of the shops 😱

yes I saw it, when he damaged the horn that was t he start of the antics. hes some jumper, he got better as the clip went on!

I went to the festival de san Feirme in Pamplona a few years ago in2002. They let off a firework at 07.55 as the wake up call. At 08:00 another firework goes off and the bull pen at the top of the town is opened, 6 or 8 bulls are let off and "sheparded" down the hill and through the town.

Some locals, and a few "tourists" who have been on a diet of big macs all year try to run with them, within 6 minutes they arrive (the bulls that is) at the arena (which is a mile away!) and are corralled. not much steam left in them at this stage. (the big mac team are still coming down the hill)

an hour later, one by one, they re let out from a black pen, into the light so they will be blinded - into a full ring of spectators with corks on their horns. it is considered "lucky" id you can get one of these corks!! eventually they run out of steam and are corralled in again until that night when they meet their maker.

See sky news have a video of the 9yo kid who shot her instructor when he was showing her how to shoot an Uzi machine gun.
Holy **** lads, what sort of idiot thinks that was good idea to set a kid up with an uzi!!

Can't link as I'm on the phone. Obviously they cut short if the bit where she shoots the gun in automatic, the recoil pushes the gun back and over her head while she continues to shoot, hitting the instructor in te head. In many ways I think he deserved it as he was an idiot to agree to it


Some of My friends were kicked off a shooting range in Dallas as one girl kept turning round and screaming after she shiot the target, pointing the gun at everyone as she turned round.

It's natural selection at work. But that child will be scarred for life now..

It's uncomfortable viewing. The child was way out of her depth and the instructor might have picked up on that.
I do wonder what sort of a mindset exists that a parent thinks it approriate to arm a 9yo girl with an Uzi.
I think, luckily, we've a different attitude to weapons here that in America.

Maybe, but I'm thinking being able to shoot someone who is standing beside you using an uzi is any sort of qualification for being a sniper

It only has a range of about 100m anyways.Designed by the Israeli secret service as a conceal able weapon

Alright farming troupe, remember a photo competition was mentioned/bandied about a while back?

It will start in September, different theme each month. Photos shall be judged by 'likes' and you may enter as many as you wish. And if it's really really good, you may just get a prize.

For now, I need themes for September, in the interest of fairness send them to me via pm and if none stand out to the mods, we will input them into a random generator to choose one.
So fire away!

Should the theme not just be farming related? You'll get more photos that way.

Yea, should have mentioned that. Along that line anyway. I just assumed that you'd all have suggestions that are farming related.

No, what I mean is, have no theme at all, as long as the pictures are farming related.

Having a theme every month restricts the amount of pictures your going to get. It might mean some great pictures (Often the ones that are 'off the cuff') won't be able to be entered.

Great idea though.
