@AberdeenVFTRS Thought Shinnie was channeling Willie Miller at times today - closing everything down, covering every blade, leading by example with a 'they shall not pass' attitude. Immense.

➡️ Who’s your #AberdeenFC MOTM?

@JohnP5269 @StuartMaconie Always thought an ELP-themed Prom would be fun, although I’d want two piano concertos in there (Ginastera 1 and Emerson); you could have Pictures at an Exhibition, orchestrate Abbadon’s Bolero, and Janacek’s Sinfonietta, open with Fanfare for the Common Man…

@StuartMaconie A prog prom would definitely work! “Karn Evil 9”, “21st Century Schizoid Man” and “Close To The Edge” for starters.

Admittedly I am biased, but I do think anyone who wants less occasions like the Northern Soul Prom or Family Proms is out of step with a country and a culture I'd like us to be. They probably don't want challenging contemporary music either I'd guess

Show us the last picture you took of an aircraft! No cheating, GO! ✈️ #avgeek #manchesterairport #airbus #a380 #aviationphotography

here, I've fixed it for you - "She was free of the obsessive desire to have hits at any cost...she saw no need to edit herself for public consumption...she stuck to her guns when powerful forces tried to make her compromise..."

@AFCHeritage @BadgerousThree @SuperbFootyPics Henning Boel / George Buchan mixup! Apart from that, surprised I missed Jim Forrest... Thank you!

Aberdeen When Kits Were Simply Beautiful Before The Sponsorship Invasion

I’m over in the new place under another name I don’t particularly like threads.net/watty8099

@Dukenfield Sorry to hear that; went through the same thing just under a year ago. Thoughts with you and yours

Well... the phone call I just took from the hospital means that tomorrow's Test match will be the first of my adult life when I wont be able to phone my Dad in the evening and have a very sweary exchange of views about what the England team did wrong. #Gorn

@F365 So, we’re making jokes about a man with a gambling addiction now, are we? Does nobody read this stuff before it gets posted?

This is how every Premier League club can sign Kylian Mbappe this summer... football365.com/news/feature-h…

@AbzPodcast 1984. 2-0 down to Ujpest Dozsa after the away leg; somehow it never seemed in doubt. Fergie's programme notes urging us to be patient; McGhee hat-trick (second one after 80 mins, third in ET); Willie Falconer tearing them apart on the wing; Hungarian red for a headbutt...

ABZFP Solar System... for a *thing*, your favourite European performances from the Dons?

@ProgRockWorld I had some thought on this one: richardwatt.ca/2021/10/17/8-i…

‘In a Glass House’ (1973) by Gentle Giant, is a fan favourite. Coming after the departure of Phil Shulman, the band met with difficulties, resulting in dissatisfaction. ‘Experience’ showcases their hard rock edge. Selling 150,000, it paved the way for power and glory...

@AFCHereWeGo Mate and I were in the Falkirk end. Until the first goal, when he forgot his promise to stay calm. He had to wave his Met Police warrant card at the local polis to get us out of there. #DontGoBackToBrockville

On this day in 1995, after the nervousness of the previous two Saturdays, Aberdeen’s final day victory over Falkirk turned out to be both straightforward and, ultimately, meaningless. The Dons would face a play-off to preserve their Premier League status.

@Dukenfield @simonnread Yes?

@simonnread Watt!!?????!!!

The job search continues. I applied to be an electrical engineer but to pass the entrance exam they asked me to produce an electric or magnetic state by standing in close proximity to an electrified or magnetized body. I told them I couldn't cope with the induction process.

@NPR Seventy years on, Rosalind Franklin is still overlooked...

@spfl Hard to argue with that

@ObsidianParis @vagina_museum I can only assume that this was the entire inspiration for @Oglaf

@vagina_museum "I'ma get medievial in ur ass" ?

If a medieval French vagina could speak, what would it say? We actually have the answer to this. Allow us to tell you the tale of The Knight Who Could Make Cunts Speak.

@CTVNews Why are you asking me? Aren’t you supposed to be the ones disseminating useful information?

Daylight time: When do we set the clocks forward this year? ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/dayl…

@jonimitchell My immediate response was #Hejira because of this: richardwatt.ca/2021/11/14/12-… but the real answer is Shadows and Light because Jaco and the all-star band and because Joni is a magnificent bandleader. And the music…

You’re stuck on an island with one of Joni’s albums, which do you choose? Joni performing at the Honolulu International Center, Honolulu, Hawaii on this day in 1974. Photo by Robert Knight

@SoundsClips @BillNelsonMusic @MrFetishista So that review, presumably, caused this: richardwatt.ca/2022/01/02/19-…
