I read somewhere that every 1 degree increase in global temperatures leads to a 7% increase in moisture in the air which inevitably has to fall somewhere and this year so far it all seems to have fallen on Edinburgh! We have had huge increases in rainfall with the corresponding impact on the local ...

Don’t , it’s a slippery slope!

But we have a huge amount more impact per capita than the average Indian or African, we're creating the problem, surely it can't be that hard to modify our behaviour?

I've enjoyed the period from when my daughter first became truly 'interactive' - around 3ish - until now immensely. It really is such a great age, they are so enthusiastic about everything and although they have their moments, they are generally a delight to be around. I have a 6 and a 4 year old. ...

The only place I have been in Germany was the Mosselle valley, on a school trip in 1992. Of course it been 30+ years but I remember it being a very nice part of the world.

good point, the figures from Hamas are the reliable ones if you accept that Israeli strikes are causing thousands of civilian casualties, then it's in the interests of Hamas to be seen to be reporting what's happening reliably. And it's in Israel's interest to lie. great logic here You two are very...

Cracking result for Scotland and a very good performance, even if it looked like they might do a “Scotland” at the end. A couple of really good tries and kicking a lot better, defence as good as always. 3rd place to go for. Some of the reffing a bit odd but easily the sexiest ref since Roger Quitte...

The thing with this is that the Tories are going to get absolutely annihilated at the next election and severely punished for what they have done. The SNP have been so successful at dividing the country that they are going to get a gentle slap on the wrist in comparison, that’s what leaves me with ...

Would you be in a position to say that governance and the sate of society is palpably worse in Scotland than the rest of the UK? There was an article in the Graun today about life expectancy in Scotland, but that is definitely tied to deprivation. I can say that things here in South East England ha...

I've made no secret of my wish for Scottish independence, also that Scotland should imo be part of the EU (so should the rest of the UK), for me that has nothing to do with what party sits in majority in Holyrood, so with that in mind - was Labour any better in Scotland when they led the parliament...

Won’t name names for vague internet anonymity reasons but a young lad has made his first class debut in this round of the CC who played his first ever mens game under my captaincy (I waived the rules and allowed him to down a half-pint rather than a full one on debut on account of being allegedly w...

I mean he is a good player and all, but not the type people will be rushing to buy tickets to see play. If you sign a Dupont or Kolbe-type player that is genuinely box office, then you might increase ticket sales. I think this is true of your average nouveau bandwagon Irish rugby fan, but not for t...

That’s terrible, absolutely no mitigation

One of the problems with the way people talk about rugby players is they don’t allow for change. There are some people that will always consider Kinghorn dodgy under the high ball and poor defensively, no matter how much he improves. Do you think he has? I’m pretty relaxed about his high ball abili...

23 points for Kinghorn against Exeter this afternoon Starting for Toulouse in a Heineken QF and doing that is quite respectable. I've seen comments from Scottish rugby fans online even this season saying that he's not international class etc. Baffling. His defence and decision making isn’t internat...

They play their big games at the football stadium. Their Semi will be there, but Stade Wallon is their home ground.

Ahh, that’s probably it
