Happy Birthday Mate



Robert the Bruce.

750 years young today.

The Julian calendar says the 11th but Gregory's calendar changed that.

Have a good 'un mate.

The key differences lie in their size, appearance, and social behavior.

Rooks vs. Raves: A Quick Comparison

Rooks

Birds: Rooks are large, black birds belonging to the crow family. They are often found in groups and are known for their cawing sounds.  
Chess: In chess, a rook is a powerful piece that can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically.  

Raves

Parties: A rave is a large electronic music party typically held indoors or outdoors, characterized by intense sound systems, vibrant lighting, and a communal atmosphere.  

Essentially, rooks are birds or chess pieces, while raves are parties.

Would you like to know more about either?





I meant rooks and ravens



Rooks vs. Ravens

Rooks and Ravens are both members of the crow family, often causing confusion due to their similar appearance. However, there are distinct differences between the two.

Size
Ravens are significantly larger than rooks. They are often compared to the size of a buzzard.
Rooks are smaller and more commonly seen in urban areas.

Appearance
Ravens have a heavy, thick bill, and their plumage is typically a glossy black. They also have a distinctive diamond-shaped tail.
Rooks have a paler, more pointed bill and their feathers often appear less glossy. They have a bare, grey-white patch of skin at the base of their bill.

Behavior
Ravens are often solitary or found in pairs, although they can gather in larger groups. They are known for their intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
Rooks are highly social birds and often live in large colonies called rookeries. They are known for their noisy caws.

I stopped saying that years ago.

It always invites some rsole saying:

That's prob true but at least you're better informed.

As a diehard neutral, I find Rangers fans to be worse. Maybe just going to school in the 90s and 2000s in a diehard neutral part of the country I always found the glory hunting Rangers fans to be worse. But for the dyed in the wool neutrals over the past 10 years or so that could be the case for Celtic fans. Depends when you were growing up
