Think my old geography teacher would disagree about Israel or Kazakhstan being in Europe...

Eurovision rules, Algy! 🌟

A song for Europe. I remember all those moments lost in wonder that we'll never find again.

When it comes to the FA Cup, we've been saying 'What's Another Year?' for as long as I can remember. :(

If it is Hibs, it will be a big deal for SJM.

I used to own a house that previous owners had named Lucerne, so we'll get them.
Interestingly, and apropos of nothing, Lucerne is a an anagram of "enculer" in French.

Same for Des Bremner and Alex Cropley, you'd imagine.

So we could play Melbourne then 😉

Yes please! Imagine watching a game on a balmy 25 degree evening in December. Though some of you lot might need to leave a few minutes before the final whistle to make it home in time for tea.

Would be maybe the only time I’d be tempted to join in an opposition song with the Sunshine on Leith, love the video of that at Hampden on SJM’s big day out…
Maybe wouldn’t but would appreciate the experience.

We'd probably still win, even if they did.
