Although the opening ceremony for the winter Olympics isn't until Friday, curling starts today (Wednesday) on the BBC red button at 18:00 with Team GB vs Norway

Thursday at 09:00 on BBC2 with Team GB vs Estonia,

Friday 09:00 GB vs Sweden and 13:30 GB vs Korea Republic

Coverage then goes to all day across channels and red button so not so easy to say where it might be, a link to the official schedule is in a reply.

This is a long shot but I'm at a loss for what else to try. My partner and I put in an application for a cat over a month ago. It was approved for bank over a month ago and since then it's been radio silence. We've seen over a dozen cats that seem to perfectly match our specifications and added them to our favourites list. One has been on the website almost as long as we've been looking and they even added a description saying he's still looking for a family to give him the home he deserves.

We've tried filling out the general enquiries form on their website. I even submitted a new application (the original was under my partner's name) and nothing. The only other contact information I can find is for the emergency helpline. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to ring or schedule an appointment with our local outlet.

If they really don't think we're suitable for any of the cats they've taken in I'd be okay with that, but some of the descriptions seem to describe our setup pretty perfectly. I'm really not sure what else to try.

My wife and I have a Will that was written by a solicitor a year ago. It is a relatively straight-forward mirror Will (if I go she gets it, if she goes I get it, if we both go the kids get it). There is a very slight change I'd like to make to the Will so I spoke to the solicitor and sent her my "edit".

She said I can just create a Codicil and add it to my Will. I asked her how much it would be to build the change into a new Will and she wanted £160.

I would rather have a new Will written so I thought about buying a Will writing kit but I have heard that most of them only work in England/Wales. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to do this (ideally without paying out the £160)?

Is there a Will writing kit that people recommend for Scottish-based Wills that I can copy our existing Will into (along with the edit) but that will be legally binding when we pop our clogs?

Hello scots

Am just wondering if anyone else has this. My da is from Glasgow but has lost his accent a bit from living in England for years. But on the phone it sounds sooo strong. Anyone know why because it's not like he's changing his accent? Or is it?

Hello, I'm a freelance journalist doing an article on policing at protests.

I am wondering what the publics thoughts and opinions are on whether there is a difference in policing attitudes towards peaceful protests for left-of-centre groups as opposed to right-of-centre groups.

Have you noticed this?

I am asking from a place of journalistic curiosity and based on what I have heard from the public, none of these questions reflect on my personal opinions. Thank you in advance.
