It was already derelict? Why left to just rot and collapse? Someone should be facing criminal charges about buildings falling down in a city!

 

Heard about this in a pub the other night. So I am glad to see a report and share it. A very good candidate for base loads in the future

They are winning though. Ukraine is being slowly eroded

Dessert mostly, berries galore! Even a few gooseberries this year. Neighbour gave me some red currants I turned into a pink lemonade. Tatties going to salads. Herbs for everything. Plums I thinned hard this year to hopefully see a smaller yet bigger crop. Apples going great again, last year I turned loads into apple and bramble jam. And loads of crumbles. And I fancy rowan jelly this year for the first time, and lavender chicken is a thing. I even had some dandelion leaves in my salad, and I fancy some nettles in a broth. You can even make sticky willy tea, but I haven't been brave enough yet. Don't eat the foxgloves though. Gardens are surprisingly edible

Well done to Wales ending an 18 test losing streak. Not a record to be taken lightly!

Ten :) A very nice milestone. A lot can happen in ten years!

10 hours is hefty. No overtime provision in my place, so if I ever have to do it: I get it back instead. Love a free Monday off

Wearing sunscreen I hope. And an ice lolly or two. Have you been harvesting your garden yet? Mine is overflowin wi raspberries

Nuclear fire breath vs the military? Stupidly thick armour made from subsea nodules and an appetite for tanks. Godzilla is great because it's so stupid. And he beats all military today

 

Probably anyway. Out past Aberfeldy off the A9. I'm sure it's worth a visit

Bit shocked about Fiji, but not wholly surprised. Scotland with the B team and Fiji have had a few weeks of actual team time. This was definitely on the cards.

Will Wales get a win? I expect so, but a slim one. Currently up by 11 at the break.

New Zealand will beat France in yet another thrilling test match between these two

The Lions will win against a scratch side now

SA will annihilate Italy

Ireland will put on a great display with a narrow win in Portugal

And England are going down to Argentina. Who also have some good game time under heir belts vs an under strength England

 

Loads of weekend fixtures

Fiji have already played Scotland
Japan are curently playing Wales
New Zealand will face France at 8.05
An AU/NZ side will face The Lions at 11
SA will play Italy at 4:10
Portugal host Ireland at 1900
And Argentina play England at 20:40

All times BST. Predictions and reactions all appreciated. Some wonderful other sport on today with Wimbledon Ladies final, Tour de France, Golf's Scottish Open, and loads of other stuff too. So have a good Saturday folks

Ah've been keepin cool by haein a few drinks wi the missus. It's oor anniversary this week, so a guid excuse tae be aff. Just splashed the cash fer lunch in Edinburgh, but wis worth it

The morn me and the famly's all oot tae Ingliston fer the UK pipe band championships. Got a mate playin so doon tae show sum support an hae a grand dae oot. Nae idea how bands will dae in this heat, will be droppin like flies oan parade! I expect ice creams

 

Been aff aww day, an busy later, so we're gawin early this Friday. It's fuckin boilin! How are we keepin cool this weekend?

 

Love me a ceilidh. Love me some science. What's not to like about this story? Will have to see if I can get the moves off them and bring it down the M8

Mah arteries clogged just readin this!

 

Just when the buttery wisnae bad enuff fer ya. Here's an iced ane wi cream an jam. Ah'm partial tae them wi dundee marmalade mahsel, illegal style aiberdeen joinin forces wi the enemy frae doo sooth. Wid eat this though! Just nae in wan sittin

Butteries in central belt are tae be found in Asda, Aldi, and Morrisions for all the NE migrants

 

Don't believe Tom and the headline. This was a confident win still. And Australia will need a hell of a lot more

 

Bowfin if you ask me, but hooray for tweed: it's a great material and should be excellent for trainers

 

That rugby gets pints but football doesn't is frankly undefendable, so here's to Ayr getting it right with this pilot

 

Great to see this recovered, and what a tragedy to read about. Hopefully it does a little tour with all the photos mentioned

 

Anyone else watching the live stream? Anyone lucky enough to be there?

 

Schoooo! A great read from Tom English here. Hoping he makes at least the bench for a test
