I'm not quite sure what to make of it. An interesting book, mainly about death and loss and written in the usual Barnes style, but it seems more a reflection of his own life. I enjoyed reading it, but was never quite sure what kind of book I was reading. A book only an established writer, would get away with.

I was told this before he came back and it was common knowledge that his Wife and kids were back north, whilst he was still at Derby.

Can’t stand lol the Messi hype but he is a great player. Although I most of the game vs Columbus crew in Cleveland last year yelling at him that he was a has been.

Sounds like he doesn't want to take too much of a wage cut if he's not going to be playing as much but will do if he's starting every week

Flying back tomorrow but thanks mate, I've had a lovely time with family and feel more relaxed than I have in a long time

Talking of Shinnie...

St Mirren supposedly sold out their allocation for tomorrow night and thistle had to 'restrict' the home support tickets to people on their database who have attended at least three games (now reduced to two games) Was half considering going along for a third playoff series all be it in the home end this time but will have to make do with the Hyndland Rock again unless they cut the criteria to one game. Thistle have sold out their allocation for the second leg so hopefully they wont fall apart tomorrow night. In other news they have asked their fans to avoid pyros and pitch invasions as they were given a suspended sanction last season with any breach potentially resulting in parts of firhill being closed. Wonder if this will come up when they get round to discuss yon Tic

Enjoy it, sounds like it is overdue

Have defo heard the shinnie has a place in nairn rumour before

I am actually, away for a dual family birthday in Lanzarote. I can only afford this and particularly America cos I inherited some money recently. In fairness I've not had a proper holiday since 2016 so I feel like I've earned this a wee bit 2bh

Does Shinnie not have a hoose by Nairn but stays down in Aberdeen in a flat midweek? May be that he also wants the family time and minutes on the pitch

Draw for league cup on 27th May. Sadly group stages include the Dons.

Comfortable win for Villa in the end. Two great strikes really sealed it for them. Emery winning his 5th European trophy.

Surely not on holiday before heading to the States You are patently earning too much money

I do know his missus has always wanted to come home once his career is done

I'm actually out of the country at the moment Al but I've heard talks are ongoing with him and ict

@tlg1903 What's the craic in Sneckie regarding Shinnie

I'm glad that Villa are going to win the cup, I've always had a soft spot for them.

Lyons I think would actually be decent business, we need some leadership with Shinnie likely offski and he's Killie captain and 28. Mayo is a rabid hun I believe so that's not a great start, couldn't comment on his ability 2bh.

Agree with the Watson comment- think he will go elsewhere

Villa hitting Frieburg with two spectacular goals just before half time. Germans looked rattled and the HT whistle possibly rescued them.

I think we are patently trying to weaken one of our relegation rivals for next season All joking aside, given the size of rebuild we face I am not overly surprised we are looking at this pair on free transfers. Would willingly drop everything tomorrow and nip along to Killie to drive Watson up the road to sign a contract but just can't see that one happening

And still looking at Watson apparently at this rate we will be asking them how much for their shitey pitch

Fuck sake I know we were asking for strong defenders who knew the league but for fucks sake

It would be quite challenging for me to walk about with that in my head all day, so here’s some reasons to be cheerful. Solar & wind power are green but now they’re also cheap. There’s a strong economic argument to switch to them which as we all know, trumps the green argument every day. Win win. The blades and gearboxes on these things have a shelf life of 30 years. Who knows what developments happen within that timescale? Energy storage is diversifying quickly and for northern hemisphere countries, thermal storage in particular is looking peachy. There’s huge advancements in bio plastics, recycling waste (including no petroleum based food for all those cattle nobody needs to eat). Nuclear power already solves a lot of carbon problems and is getting smaller/more efficient The grid (which is my line of work) is getting upgraded across the globe making everything more efficient. I can think of some teuchters and English retirees are going to be in for one hell of a shock up north soon Most of all though, most people are all for it. Transitioning away from fossil fuels is something everyone can get on board with. The will is there already. Apart from all this ‘drill baby drill’ baby balled sad sacks of course Smile, it might not happen
