Ethernet cupboard was looking messy, and full of lots of odd sizes and colours. And I wanted to hook up another device and was out. 5x 0.5m cat6 to the rescue. Might send a pic if it is dull enough when swapped over

Scottish Labour at a crossroads again as Sarwar jumps ship (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

A good read from Glenn Campbell here. What could Labour do to actually earn a vote? I'd certainly attempt a UK Labour split, and also be officially neutral on independence, whilst supporting Scotland's right to choose. That should help show Ian Murray the door, and Jackie Baillie thr boot

It would be a watershed moment in the sport. Really hope we don't see a repeat of last year, but if we do: Jamie George showing some good captaining a must!

Enjoy the rugby folks
