It's obviously a difficult balancing act as pubs/hospitality have been hit hard, but it does strike me as paradoxical that the demographic most likely to frequent pubs/bars will be one of the last to get the jab and all that entails, e.g. the risks of new variants forming...

Just looked at the overall leaderboard, Parky is 7th, which is very good going this stage of the season...

Game over. Week 28 points... Week 28 table...

Yep, forget Fatsia, scale of leaf too small, more likely a type of Ivy as above...

Looks like Fatsia Japonica, this shows the flowers before the berries form...

A long read but goes into detail (if only Brexit had done likewise) about the pros and cons of an Indy Scotland rejoining the EU... https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/scotland_eu_border.pdf

The other parties need to form some kind of alliance/electoral pact, something that should've happened between Corbyn and Swinson over Brexit had their egos not got in the way...

Newspapers are the same, they're not waiting for people to die, it's just preparation in case someone dies irrespective of age...

How about a Fawlty Towers-esque staircase?... Or a Penrose staircase?...

Showing the same programme on two channels is very North Korea, by all means show different tributes etc, but not the same one. And why have they suspended BBC4? I'm guessing the BBC is frit it might get accused of being 'unpatriotic' by the usual nationalistic suspects. Surely the big question tonight is, will a catfish win The Circle?...

It will be difficult to close a 12-point lead at this stage of the season, only chance is to get a good double-point score, something which has evaded me so far...

Noooo, Paul Ritter, Dad (Martin) in Friday Night Dinner, way too young...https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/apr/06/friday-night-dinner-star-paul-ritter-dies-of-brain-tumour-at-54

Week 27 points... Week 27 table...

I personally like the 'floating' effect of an exposed wooden handrail, always worth investigating what quality of handrail you've got, a lot of period properties used good quality wood e.g. oak, mahogany, for the handrail and cheaper wood for the spindles. Again personally, I'd avoid a gloss finish, looks too institutional, matt finishes are far more forgiving of blemishes, eggshell is a good compromise. I'd also be very wary if you intend to paint the treads too unless you intend to have a runner, as the last thing you want is a slippy finish...

Easter Bunny bonus, good article about Britfunk... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/apr/02/how-britfunk-overcame-racism-to-reinvigorate-uk-pop

*polls are needed

That's a good point alex, totally forgot that Scottish Parliament elections are run on a form of PR. According to this article...https://www.holyrood.com/comment/view,what-impact-could-alex-salmonds-alba-party-have-on-the-election...polls are needed (some due this weekend) to see what/if any effect voting for Alba will have. The article does suggest votes for Alba could help unionist parties in certain regions, but it also suggests that Alba is targeting pro-Indy, socially conservative, Brexit voters, so I presume they mean voters that want to vote Indy but would never vote for the SNP because they consider them to be left wing. All ifs, buts and maybes at this stage...
