A short and snappy feature. God bless America.

Hello all,

My good friend Euan and I recently formed a band called Wendell Borton, right here in sunny Aberdeen.

We uploaded a wee demo to our soundcloud page recently, and hope you all enjoy it. There are also a couple of gig announcements to come over the next few weeks so we'll post details here as and when they are confirmed.

For now you can listen here: http://www.soundcloud.com/wendell-borton and you can find us on Facebook too: http://www.facebook.com/wendellbortonmusic

Thoughts and constructive feedback are all very welcome.

Thanks!

Please close; decided to hold on to this one for now.

Thanks.

Excited about getting back on the horse on Saturday at home to Ross County.

 

McLean straight in for me:

 

Brown

 

Logan - Daniels - Reynolds - Considine

 

Jack - McLean

 

Hayes - Smith - McGinn

 

Rooney

 

 

Would like to see what Pawlett brings to the table from the bench, with a half hour to go or something rather than running himself tired after sixty minutes and drifting out of the game before being subbed for Cammy Smith. Smith has impacted enough in recent weeks to deserve a start in place of Goodwillie IMO.

I'd like it...to be more like this:

Langfield

Logan - Daniels - Reynolds - Considine

Jack - Mclean

Hayes - Pawlett - McGinn

Shankland

But it will never happen in a million years.

I'm now sorted for this. Thanks for the interest, genuinely got a much better response than I thought I would.

Looking for the rare breed of musician that is the drummer; I believe they exist somewhere in Aberdeen.

It's for a project that I've just started up; Wendell Borton. Influences include but aren't limited to: Dino Jr, Sebadoh, Weezer and all the good stuff. We had our first gig at the weekend (supporting Algernon Doll) with a drummer who was helping us out initially but it was never going to be a permanent arrangement.

Have a couple of gigs lined up starting fairly soon so the earlier you can come on board the better.

First demo track can be heard here: www.soundcloud.com/wendell-borton

Let me know if you're keen via PM or send me an email: darylrankin@gmail.com

Thanks.

Does Rojo fit in anywhere? Or is he complete shite?

Unless we get Hummels, Vidal and Mark Reynolds in, we're completely fucked.

Nah he isn't the answer, but he's an option. A better option out wide than forcing RVP to play there in any case.

Ole Gunar is available, should probably just re-sign him. Either that or pay well over the odds for somebody like Daniel Sturridge. I'd like to see us move for Berahino though.

I retrospect (as a United fan) I would have rather United sold RVP back to Arsenal and kept Welbeck. He looks past it, hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think I am. Falcao is running out of time to prove himself as well. At the start of the season I thought we had the best front line in the league, but I'm doubting that now.

The first booking was ridiculous, but once he knows he's on a yellow, wtf was he doing?

 

 

Not really. Sprint in (as he did) and stand up to Milner. Absolutely ridiculous decision to throw himself into that tackle - and arguably more stupid than his first given he knew what would happen if it was anything but a perfect tackle. He could have gotten a lot of the ball and still seen yellow.

I'd also argue that even if they do get in behind and score, then having 11 men and being 1-0 down is probably better than being 0-0 with 10. Either way, it wasn't worth committing to that tackle. Inexperience isn't really an excuse given that you wouldn't committ to a tackle like that when booked in an u18's fixture.

Just a matter of opinion, I didn't think it was pish but it was just a bit slow in parts. This season has hit the ground running.

There used to be a formula for walking dead episodes, as follows:

The group recovers from aftermath of previous episode > people talk for half an hour > somebody does something stupid > zombie attack > people die > repeat cycle.

That went out of the window in ep 1 of season 5. SO MUCH DEATH.

Holy shit balls, that was a pretty epic episode. Proper edge of the seat stuff. Since they are so brazen about killing off major characters, I had no idea who was going to make it.

Yeah...if this season has started as it intends to go on it will be infinitely better than season 4.

I am also going to follow the Kerala Blasters. Jamie Mcallister!

Hello,

Just bought a mustang, and require a hard case or high quality padded bag fir it. From what I gather, most standard Fender cases for strats/teles are suitable.

Let me know if you have anything kicking about.

I can't believe this has turned into ripping into Didier because he gave Moon Moon some (good) advice based on his experiences. lol

LOL. I actually hate Didier Drogba.

I think with School leaver type positions you're not really looking for much more than a smile and some evidence of being willing - so you're right about having a think about the question about why you're leaving school mid-year.

 

Thought it was more an in general "show me your work ethic" point you were making.

Aye nae worries. You could be right that it won't come up, but it won't harm the lad to be prepared for it.

Does leaving school really give an impression of a poor work ethic? 

Perhaps not, but I'm not the interviewer and it wouldn't be irrational to think that this may well cross their mind, especially if they're leaving after only having been back for a couple of months after summer.

I would doubt that either of these interviews will ask if he's motivated to work or challenge his work ethic - it's kind of an old school/outdated interview approach these days. It's taken as read that people generally want to work.

 

With the employment situation as it is in Aberdeen anyone that isn't in the O&G industry isn't in a position to give people a hard time in interviews.....

Yeah but that's not really what I'm saying. I agree that yes, in a broader sense (ie the general public) you are 100% correct. In MM's situation I am making the point that he might come across as uncommitted or have a poor work ethic due the circumstances around him leaving school.

I'm just making the point that he's going to have to think about a counter argument should they question his reasons for leaving, and the impact that may have on his chances of getting any of the positions he has applied for.

The Raeburn thing will likely be a standard agency registration (plus taking money for a Disclosure Scotland check) for bank/temporary work. I doubt there'll be any questions about motivation.........

 

Bon Accord is a Council run business I think, I'd guess that again motivation won't come into it cos there'll be a standard format that won't include any challenging questions.

No, but he'll have to say that he is motivated to work on some sort of level. Why would they employ him otherwise?

so i have got two interviews coming up, 1. raeburn health care as a health care assistant (it's an agency though) and 2. as a support worker for Bon Accord care (its really good pay and i get my level III SVQ) any tips for this? im not too fussed about the raeburn job im really wanting the Bon Accord one as there is many benefits to it.

You'll want to think about your answer to the 'why do you want to leave school early?' question.

As an employee of the care sector one of your key responsibilities is to be extremely tolerant of others, and if you can't tolerate those around you at school (you said earlier this is why you want to leave) then this will certainly give them a poor impression of your interpersonal skills.

If I was interviewing you I would question your work ethic because you're looking to leave school, but on the other hand you're no doubt going to tell me you're a hard worker? Emphasise that this the career you want, and talk more about the opportunities it will bring etc etc and that you think the SVQ qualification is more benficial to you than the qualifications obtained at school given your choice of career path.
