Europe needs to wake the fuck up and become more independent. The US is not a reliable ally, with the Republicans being compromised and backing an obvious Russian asset.Scotland is going to need to pick a side.

I’ve finally got my hands on the Casio F-91WB. It’s almost exactly the same as the F-91W but with a more minimalist face. People are calling it an “f91 for grownups”. I really like the style. I’d been trying for ages to get it, but everywhere was sold out. I found it in Irving Argos when I was down there dropping a friend home. That was lucky. Only £20.

I made recommendations for bets that were good value in my opinion. I’ve republished it here. I found the post earlier today when I as going through some old files.
