Ire, SA, NZ, Wal, Fra, Eng are my calls. Some of those spreads will be closer, Ireland and England to both be under 4 and Scotland to be under 7 I'll say. Meaning this is a coin flip for those predictions really. And loads of this worth watching, on ITV/stv for free in the UK.

I've got tickets for Murrayfield, so will post from my nose bleeds, and I've a pound at 13:1 on NZ ht Sco ft. Come on Scotland!

    Match thread: Nations Championship - round 4 (lemmy.world)
     

    Hullo Lemmy rugby fans and the wider fediverse. Half way stage is over for us this week, with Ireland vs South Africa to kick things off tonight.

    And it has been an exciting tournament so far. Table below, with the same placed teams to face each other for that final bragging rights in Twickenham

    As usual predictions, reactions and shitposts all appreciated. And if you are at a match this weekend: I want a photo!

    Happy rugby!

    I have absolutely no idea what I've stumbled upon but they have some Tolkien related tapes in c/tolkien@lemmy.world

    Hmm, more than a hint of slop to this imo. So many solo artists all releasing dark ambient on a similar subject? I'm calling this fake music

    You're damn right I'm doing my best to avoid anything from the USA currently. And Israel. But living where I am, this is quite hard.

    But you're damned wrong if I advocate that whole nations are better or worse than others

    Why Scottish nationalists should see Burnham as a real threat – and an opportunity (www.theguardian.com)
     

    Don't read the comments...

    Burnham has been staunch 'not at this time' - so we aren't really going anywhere. Proportional representation will change the picture, if Burnham can figure it out. A border poll in NI looking some way off still. And a welsh referendum on independence isn't even wanted by Plaid.

    Lots of noise about these issues, with lots to blame about Brexit causing them. But here we are ten years after the vote and nobody can a) make brexit work or b) abandon England to it's fevered dreams of empire and glory.

    And no sign of a general election next year, or holrood the year after. Making it pretty safe to write all this currently. It will be interesting to see how the next GE takes shape for all nations of the UK

    Ah well, no joke is hassle from me, and they still get a sweet. And most do give one, especially when I tell them how much I love them!

    The group of boys that had a song, and then gave me a Christmas carol had me groaning all night long. Chancers!

    Swinney calls for ‘substantial support’ with energy bills in UK Budget (news.stv.tv)
     

    Budget day today. Highlighting just how dependent we are on the UK still, and the Barnett formula not going anywhere any time soon. I think it quite interesting that Healey hasn't leaked much to the press this year, a stark contrast to the Tories, and different to Reeves too. Good, far too much trial by public opinion for my liking, let the paper editors eat newsprint.

    Plenty of doubters saying this doesn't add up however, so it will be very interesting to see how things do balance. And of course, what Holyrood gets out of this
