Swansea 1-0 Burnley: Nathan Dyer hands his side all three points by scoring an early goal at the Liberty Stadium. Daily Mail

Sean Dyche tossed his jacket aside soon after this match
started and he’s now going to have to roll up his sleeves if Burnley are going
to stay in the Barclays Premier League.
That’s two games and two defeats for the promoted side.
Granted, one was against Chelsea and this was away from home against a side who
beat Manchester United last weekend.
But already, at this extremely early stage in the season,
the Ginger Mourinho looks like he needs a few more creative thinkers on the
pitch. Time and again they held possession – 45 per cent, according to the
statistics – but lacked the wit to find a way through a backline that is not as
strong as it might need to be.
Man who DELIBERATELY sabotaged Starbucks pay-it-forward line that had gone on for 10 hours and 457 customers , Daily Mail
A
pay-it-forward chain at a Florida Starbucks ended when a man opted not to buy
the coffee of the person behind him in the drive-through line.
Peter
Schorsch, customer number 458, ordered two Venti Mocha Frappuccinos and was
told that one of his drinks had been paid for by the previous customer and
asked if he'd like to do the same for the next customer.
Schorsch
declined, saying he felt the phenomenon was a marketing ploy for the company
and no longer a spontaneous act of kindness when the barista asks the customer
to pay it forward.
'I
just don’t want to be forced into doing something,” Schorsch told ABC News.
'This
is turning into a social phenomenon and I had to put an end to it.'
He
had heard about a 'pay it forward' streak at the same Starbucks the previous
day that ended on customer 359.
Schorsch
didn't end the chain to be stingy, he said, adding that he tipped the barista
$100.
Brian Wilson: SNP’s NHS scaremongering won’t work. The Scotsman
SOMETHING
OF a pattern is emerging, is it not? The Nationalists’ claims have now become
so cynically outrageous that non-politicians, who probably did not want to be
drawn into the debate, are feeling obliged to rebut them in the plainest
possible terms.
Last
week, it was the Bank of England that issued a magisterial put-down when an SNP
press release in John Swinney’s name claimed that “technical discussions” were
taking place about currency union. It was untrue, and Swinney now says that he
did not mean to give that impression. Doubtless he will be dealing internally
with whoever took his name and reputation in vain.
Then
Sir Ian Wood had a good shot at being even more magisterial with his remarkable
interview in which he hazarded that Alex Salmond’s fabrication workshop had overestimated
future North Sea resources by around 60 per cent and short-term revenues by 40
per cent. Chunky numbers, indeed, when translated into schools and hospitals.
Salmond’s
audacity had provoked Sir Ian Wood into going far more public than he might
otherwise have done, with his conclusion that, in economic terms, “the case is
heavily weighted towards Scotland remaining in the UK and getting the best of
both worlds. I want the best for future generations of Scots”. You don’t get
much more unambiguous than that.
While
currency and oil might be regarded in some quarters as fair game for
misrepresentation, it is the Nationalists’ appalling behaviour over the
National Health Service that merits the greatest contempt. In this case, the
woman who headed the Scottish Government’s own cancer reduction strategy has
felt moved to hit back at the pernicious nonsense they are promoting. By her
own account, she would not have intervened if the claims had not been so
outrageous.
Dr
Anna Gregor said: “The thing that made me decide to talk about this subject is
that both the politicians and, to my chagrin, some of the clinicians are now
scaremongering and telling the voters and patients that the only way to protect
our NHS is to vote Yes. That is a complete and utter lie.”
