  1. In like a shot! bucket n spade at the ready, also!
  2. The word on the street is... ...Ibiza.
  3. No, I haven't. apart from when I have.
  4. The McLear bio linked to above, of the squad, says he's with Saints till at least the summer of 2018.
  5. Fwiw, proudly flaunting his shopping bag as his display's centrepiece marks him out as someone to be reckoned with. a bit like Grayson Perry, but less butch.
  6. Good band in The Cave in New Street, tonight. (I've already forgotten the name... the Durties? Or was it the Tennents...) a different band on Sunday night.
  7. Brora have three interesting openers... "Three season games for £20. Our long time friends, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County are back at Dudgeon Park on the 4th and 12th July respectively, with 19:45 kick offs. The Dons come to town on Saturday 8th with a 3pm kick off. That’s a whole lot of talent, determination and hope packed in to 3 games for your money." + there's an away in Stornoway match against a Lewis +Harris select. brilliant manager Brora have - Ross Tokely...
  8. He's gaun tae break that scarf.....
  9. You ain't heavy, you're our brothers. we can bear the burden...
  10. The war ended in1945. i've notched up a few birthdays (one today, as it happens) but not a big enough number to have experienced THAT war. As for the rest of your post... Far too pessimistic. Jeremy has offered a change from austerity, a vision of hope that people will buy into - remember that a lot of new voters have started out by buying into that... And that most of London (us rich and privileged baby-boomers) is already labour and socially minded....
  11. Puerile and arithmetically challenged. Ruth having her perspective and current (as ever transient, too) power is precisely what I mean about Scots being able to exert influence on a UK government. Perhaps.
  12. Did the Scottish media not report on how Berlin has treated the people of Greece and Portugal? THAT has been worse to my mind than even what Thatcher got up to. Preferring that treatment to actually having Scots IN the UK government is what I view as crass.
  13. As I drive past grounds (or the roads that lead to them) such as ictfc, Brora, wick academy... I pay attention to the boards to see who the next visitors are and when. THAT would be a simple and obvious way of perhaps enticing passing trade....?
  14. So... ...is THAT your last, last punt of the season?
  15. Fill yer boots... If she couldn't envisage support for Brexit and May seeking a mandate (as Sturgeon asked her to do) then she was very short-sighted and inept politically. And enough voters in the recent election have shown that, in their opinion she was not attempting to look after Scotland. As snlt points out above, going cap in hand to Berlin rather than London doesn't seem like an idyllic exchange... Is that really looking after Scotland? I fully understand and empathise with the alienation from the soft underbelly of the Home Counties and Westminster elites, but cutting off noses to spite faces is crassly simplistic.
  16. I recall that once upon a time, Sturgeon said an indy ref would be a once in a generation thing. She lied. She changed her mind. I also recall Sturgeon beating May aboot the heid cos May "did not have a mandate to govern". So it strikes me that of all the people on the planet, Sturgeon should have been best placed to recognise that May, like herself, was a politician and thus highly likely to change her mind, especially when Sturgeon was asking herself for another election.. Lying and wrong-footing the opposition is second-nature to politicians. Sturgeon utterly, naively miscalculated and should have known better.
  17. Aye, and that was because - too late - the SNP realised they should have buttoned it earlier and not pissed people off... ....just as poz pointed out a few posts above. Of course, the other parties exploited that error...
  18. Ach well this may be an evening in which I enjoy myself..
  19. Goodness. That is an utter wank....
