And I thought that it might be a tricky one It was part of Culduthel Hospital. The old part is a listed building, and, as IBM says, the wings have been demolished. I see that it is referred to as Culduthel House. There's a possible source of confusion there, as the former orphanage at 71 Culduthel Road has also been known as Culduthel House since it was converted into flats in around 1960.

...and we saw it again yesterday and today, as we were passing through the park. I was talking to a young lad who was waiting for a good photograph, and he told me about his website - wbphotography.co.uk . A few kingfisher photographs there. OK, the photograph below is one of my Dad's, from around 1990. The building was outside of Sneck when built, but it is now well inside the city boundary.

I think you'll find that world leaders are exempt. Especially if they are willing to sign a Free Trade Agreement

We have seen one a couple of times recently, and a few times in previous years, during our walks in the nearby park here in St Albans. The "river" Ver runs through the park - it's only about 12 feet wide, but it's a chalk stream (quite rare) and the water is normally very clear. There are actually two kingfishers on the river, each with their own territory about a quarter of a mile apart, near the two points where the fish - trout - congregate. The one we have seen sits on a tree branch across the river from the path, and isn't bothered at all by the small crowd of people watching it, which often includes some blokes - always blokes - with expensive camouflaged cameras, long lenses and tripods. You really do see a flash of fluorescent blue when they move. Well worth looking out for. And that concludes nature notes for today...

Got you now! You're in the Merkinch Nature Reserve again, and that railway bridge is just to the east of where the line crosses the canal.

Yes, I nearly wrote something very similar a couple of weeks ago. There is an eagerness, a freshness, about the team that hasn't been there for a season or two. We press forward in numbers, and play close-passing football - we're not just lobbing hopeful balls at a lone striker. As you say, we have a number of players who move around up front, and who can all score. This season I don't think that we are going to have a leading scorer way out in front of the others. We will have a number of players pretty much all on the same tally. I do still think that the defence needs firming up, though. I never have complete confidence in them, especially when they face a tricky player like Dobbie, who gave them some frights last night.

My first thought was between Bunchrew and Lentran. No. Second thought was SE of Bonar Bridge, just beside where the Struie road meets the coastal road. Nope. Third thought - and bear with me because it's a very long time since I've been there - was Montrose. Don't be stupeed, mun! So that's three places that it isn't

x 2 from Snorbens.

Have just seen that our problems with the follically-challenged assistant referee have made the hallowed pages of New Scientist magazine. The current (21 Nov) issue carries a paragraph about it in the Feedback section at the end of the magazine. One thing I hadn't appreciated - thought it's obvious with hindsight - was that a large part of the problem was that he was on the near side. So the angle of view from the camera made it appear as though his head was on the pitch - i.e. inside the touchline. The implication is that things would have been better if he had been on the far side of the pitch.

And "switching you to a backup server" probably had nothing to do with the streaming, but gave you a way in which bypassed the usual user authenticaton.

I meant that it wasn't worth wasting more time on trying to establish exactly when the email was sent out. The fact that so many of you were locked out requires an explanation, and an apology if it was due to some deliberate act.

Not sure if you folks are actually checking the email headers. It's not the time displayed in your inbox - it's part of the actual email but you don't normally see it, and as such it won't change from 1613 or 1616 to "yesterday". Not worth wasting more time on!

If anyone still has the email, and knows how to do it, it's very easy to check the email headers to see when it was sent. I only saw after the game that I had received one, and I deleted it, so I can't check.

... I was just thinking "Does he say the same thing in every game?" (This is the first time I haven't turned him down.)

So who's in the white car parked facing north on the A9 about halfway along the southern half?

Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?

I assume that the Chairman is currently on the phone reading the Riot Act to the SPFL?

Keatings 1-0. Swept in from beside the penalty spot.

Shooting south now. Ignore last post if you saw it!

Great shot from Storey clipped the bar and went over!

I was able to open a second stream, on Windows/Firefox, whilst you guys were having trouble. So maybe it's a problem with certain ISPs, not with the SPFL stream. Currently OK with the browser on an LG TV.

I just started up a second streaming connection with no problems, so I'm not sure where the problem is.

I am in - no problems.

And give us all a wave! Remember you're on camera - and no attempts to distract the AI, please

Told you it would be straightforward!
