Amazon likely to drop Clarkson after the latest series of Clarkson's Farm and The Grand Tour is finished, according to reports.

Another big signing on fee for him with someone else. Netflix are desperate for content like that.
 
Pep seems to be having a meltdown of sorts in his post-match conference
 
I'm that used to doing everything on my phone.....I got a bit "confused" today reading a paperback.
I was at the Freeman with the Mrs today for her dialysis, and was reading Bruce Dickinsons autobiography. I was looking at one of the photos in the book and to get a closer look I "pinched to zoom" on the page.
What makes it worse is that it took a second go to realise why it didn't work!!

Rare 'mother-of-pearl' cloud spotted in Scotland

By Simon King
BBC Weather

Sky-gazers across Scotland were treated to a rare sight on Sunday evening and Monday morning as nacreous cloud were spotted.

As one of the highest clouds in our atmosphere, they form in very cold conditions and with their shimmering colours they are often referred to as "mother-of-pearl".

One BBC Weather Watcher said "absolutely fantastic Nacreous cloud caught at tonight's sunset with some gulls flying over. What a fantastic sight to behold".

Nacreous clouds form in very cold conditions over polar regions and within the stratosphere, around 12 to 19 miles high. Way above our normal clouds.

They are rarely spotted in the UK because of the very cold conditions needed.

Occasionally cold polar air, locked in place by strong winds high up in the atmosphere - called the polar vortex - weakens and allows this colder air to sink south to our latitude.

Nacreous clouds are mostly seen a couple of hours either side of sunset or sunrise and, being so high, they are still lit by sunlight which makes them appear even brighter in our evening sky.

Formed in air that is around minus 80C, sunlight reflecting off tiny ice crystals in the cloud give it the pearly colours -the reason why they are also called mother-of-pearl.

On Sunday evening and Monday morning, BBC Weather Watchers from Moray, the Highlands and Aberdeenshire sent in their photographs.

They were told it was a cloud but it was really the ship from Battle of the Planets!

I know 1st hand how fantastic the NHS are, the care and treatment my mam has and still is receiving is absolutely amazing. Thoughts with you and your family, please you have her home, that in itself is progress.
Sadly we lost my lovely Mam last week, she put up one hell of a fight but God must have needed her more than us. So very proud to have called her Mam and shes left many broken hearts behind, life will never be the same again without my mam, I have never felt a sadness like it and cant stop the tears from flowing. Time really is precious and I wish I had savoured more moments with my mam than I did, sleep tight Mam I hope I get to see you again one day, no more pain.
