Aberdeen FC have an "impressive" new manager and support team who will be taking over AFTER the current season ends. In the meantime, the current (former assistant) manager has four games remaining in which to steer the Dons clear of relegation, something they've easily avoided since their Inception...

The shortcoming of ASEAN is their constitution pretty much prohibits telling a neighbour what to do. It's a toothless and gutless entity that only serves to make one of the countries look important for a year when they hold the chair.

Is she always getting food when she asks? A friend of mine loved his beagles to a fat untimely death with uncontrolled snacks and three meals a day.

What's the difference between a person's opinion and that same person's conclusion? Anyone with an AI account to help me out here?

Does one let one's conclusions form one's opinions or, is it the opinion that creates the conclusion.

And are facts required, or are they optional?

I would factor in at least an extra 10 minutes to your 'usual' gate time after immigration and security checks. More. If your flight leaves from one of the gates further away from the mid-terminal, where you come out after the train, add anther 5-10 minutes for the walk. Good point, I recall readin...

It's been open and in use since late last year but I had the first opportunity to use it earlier this month departing on Austrian to Vienna. Check-in, security and immigration is unchanged and still done in the main terminal. The entrance to the long escalator to the S gates is clearly marked with p...
