It’s insane how willing people are to be taken in by what took me 5 minutes tops was a Russian Bot. And the thing is, it’s success is being played out in real time on this board and on Twitter.
I am persuaded - by you - that this is a fake
But at first glance, I believed it, because it is beautifully judged. See the 700 Scot Nat and Alba supporters who follow her. They have also been fooled
So, the question is: who, how and why?
Is it some computer algorithm in Moscow, or it some smart Yoon guy in the Borders having a laugh at the Nats' expense? or maybe it is MI6 black ops?!
I don’t think that anyone in this country would write about anti-socialist leanings of the TV show “Pesky Blinders” or advise someone to “do learnings about racism”. I think it’s someone in a building in St Petersburg.
I dunno. Maybe it's a triple bluff.
Ms Calista knows her UK/Scots politics extremely well, and is highly articulate in English. Would "she" really make a dumb mistake like "Pesky Blinders" or "leanings about racism"?
I am doubtful. So my guess is this is an MI6 dude pretending to be a Russian bot pretending to be a mad Nat, to discredit the Nat cause with plausible deniability if unmasked
She makes the occasional rudimentary error that even other Nats pick her up on. For example -
You see, that is highly literate English writing, and it sounds like an educated and engaged mother-tongue English speaker. I do not believe the same person would then write "learnings about racism"
So either there are several people operating this account - explaining its rather uneven quality - or it is someone having a very sophisticated laugh
Channel 4 showing 1966 World Cup Final in full. I had forgotten what football was like, no man to man marking, Ball, Hunter, Styles and big Jack occasionally clattering the Germans with no I'll effects.
Alan Ball as dirty as I remember. It's half time and 1-1. Interesting to see what happens in the second half?Sadly its the Hugh Johns, not the Wolstenhome they think its all over commentary.
Rrrrrrorrrrrrger Hunt.
It’s dumb football, there’s no pressing at all. Someone’s got the ball the other side turn their backs and run away.
Shut all that space down, you’re making it end to end.
This is all wrong. It’s winding me up. Why can’t they play properly.
I liked ye olde clock graphic.
Space Age technology that graphic.
Where’s the England flags? It’s all Jacks.
Simply unpatriotic!
Somethings changed in fifty years. What caused that?
Scottish nationalism? England was often used synonymously with Britain in ye olden days.

It could be an autocorrect/typo.
“do some learnings about racism” was repeated two or three times in response to people calling her out on some of the more inflammatory stuff. That’s not a typo.

Did pressing begin with the outlawing of the back pass? Wouldn't seem an efficient use of energy before that.
Completely unfit and slow into tackle compared to players today.
Is Stiles playing sweeper?
They.got a second wind after the half time cigarettes though
No one touch passing. It really is rubbish. And Franz Beckenbaur- over rated.

Unfit, but also the end of a long tournament, with no substitutes. And apparently it was a disadvantage for England playing all their games at Wembley which was particularly tiring owing to its size and surface. (Any club ground would have given England home advantage!)

The English is very good but the idea that a Scot would put in their bio that they are a devolution expert but then admit to learning about Scottish devo off Twitter is laughable. I still say a group effort in Russia.

I was assured on here people hate ordering at the table.
Now ask them the same, but mention first that price of a pint has to go up to pay for the waiting staff.
Last night I asked in the pub I was drinking in - yet another place that says, when they are busy, the table ordering actually reduces the load. Large pub, with a big garden with lots of tables - inside and out.
They had crew behind the bar making the drinks from the ordering system, and a small number of waiters/waitresses delivering them.
The staff said they liked it. The difference from pre COVID was using the food ordering system to order drinks, plus the app/qr code system to make it direct from the customers...
Personally, I am not that price sensitive and like the continental service....but i am it going out to ram as much cheap alcohol down my neck as possible.

It's the system that was being operated by Norwegian airlines, before Covid, and it is super efficient. The air stewardesses know exactly who to serve and in what order and when, in the most practical, ergonomic way. You get a G&T within 30 seconds. So much better than waiting 1 hour for the rattling trolley to finally make its way to your seat, by which time they've run out of fucking gin

My guess is the difference is a) there is an economy of scale and b) some venues have probably got the efficiency sorted a lot better than others.

Fake news, I spoke to a bar manager recently and he said it is more efficient and cheaper than at the bar service.
Avoids less aggro and things like spillages.
Well a pub landlord was on the radio yesterday and said they need 3x the staff to achieve this when it is busy e.g. the footy is on.
Probably one of those landlords who has 2 people behind the bar, 300 people trying to get a drink, and thinks that is good.....
At the place I was at, the staff said that they had noticed a marked increase in the order rate per head - that x number of people were spending more money per hour (or whatever) with the table ordering.
I suppose getting another round without leaving the conversation vs standing in the shoving match at the bar for half an hour....

It is a while since I had seen that game, and it wasn't as I remembered. Hurst's hatrick still makes the hairs bristle, particularly his third.

Yes - the place was notable for having had table service and done alot with food pre-COVID. So all they had to do was extend their methodology....
I should imagine that pubs that haven't are on a learning curve.

Pesky Blinders results from the s and a being next to each other on the keyboard. Learnings sounds like the sort of thing a fluent but non-native English speaker might say: it is not obviously wrong but we do not use it like that.

My preferred local did table service anyway pre-plague. Covid will probably encourage the idea of tipping just for having drinks served which is a good thing unless one thinks it a ghastly Americanisation.

I'd see that as quite clunky English.
As eg some Germans or Russians seem to be too carefully idiomatic, using eg an older expression such as "I am in two minds" a little too deliberately.

Best of 3 gives plenty of time for the armchair, er, 'fans' to do the necessary.
New balls please!
If you take the the seven day average of cases and compare it to the seven day average *yesterday* and express the difference as percentage up/down
