Every day is a school day… I’ve just learned a new word, “Sabbatarian”
In the interests of “know your enemy”, I always read the headlines in the Kipper, not the articles themselves, you understand.
Anyway, this is on their online front page under Obituaries,
“The Reverend Angus Smith, Sabbatarian who tried to stop a Sunday ferry service to the Isle of Skye “

I love the actual songs on the last three albums. Less keen on the daft interludes.
I really dislike the earlier stuff, it’s juvenile.
Jambi is brilliant, as is (the song) Lateralus.
The new one is growing on me. Need a good late night, headphones, darkness and red wine session to get into it.
How do you rate the new one?

I’ve only heard a couple of tracks – and as the CD is selling on Amazon for £166.00, I don’t think I’ll be buying it! They are one of those bands that I keep reading about how wonderful they are, but never seemed to get around to listening to. One of the tracks I heard (Pneuma) had bits of (to my ears, anyway) Iron Maiden, Katatonia, Dream Theater and possibly one or two other bands in it. Think the new one might be something to stream rather than own.

Chimpie – have you seen that there is a new cross-border cycling trail, going from the Peak District to the North of Scotland? I know you like using the bike, so might be interested in parts of it?

Christian Wade didn’t make the Bills roster either, but neither did experienced fellow RB Lesean McCoy.
Valentine Holmes also not on the Jets roster.
These two will likely get a year on the practice squads.

They are not great to watch – Imagine rugby games with squads of 50 odd players and unlimited rolling subs. Then add all the best players being rested and lots of guys with no chance of ever playing in a regular season first team game getting some game time.
Also, no one really cares about the result.
It’s primarily about looking at the rookies and position battles.

Following a ‘great’ tradition of Scottish kickers. I think there was one guy* (from Greenock?) who won the Super Bowl one year with a kick.
*It may be that he was born in Greenock and then actually spent most of his life in the US. We’ll still claim him, mind.

Went to Lancashire yesterday to get thrashed at cricket in the rain. No black pudding on offer. In fact no tea on offer at all until after the game had finished. Now that’s all very well if you live near the ground, but if you’ve had to leave home at 11am to get there then it’s a bit much really.
