I agree.Wee Nic should have shown courage to knock back the annual handouts from England and shown how Scotland can go it alone! Then the Auld Yins dahn sarf could have a better life.

U n BtB. There was a Serge of posts, there... between the two of you. It has now ahem... abated...

As long as the arse is not made out of serge, it could be functional. Serge is NOT - in that department.

Serge is not a material suitable for Disabled Platforms.

This guy has a lot going for him...

I haven't been able to find any Serge Scoreboards. They would probably cost more than 8k anyway...

May I recommend these Serge Jerseys? It's pretty much the same sport, after all. Amurrican etc.... etc...

I dunno if this may help you two settle your differences, but these... are... Serge Curtains. You could...ahem... wipe the... ahem... "slate" clean.

Lucky Mrs Poz... You spoil her.

I think I've still got that LP.

More informationtastic than any of yours, so far.

FFS. As I mentioned.... eedjit.

I had started to comment, here... But I just noticed the submission from the resident village eedjit and know there will be no serious discussion.

A swivel-eyed piece, more likely. He offers two "honourable and cogent " arguments for separation, both of which are flawed lies. 1. "“London doesn’t care what Scotland thinks,” a bioethicist and longtime nationalist said. I ask for an example. “The Iraq War. We were overwhelmingly opposed in Scotland. The U.K. went to war anyway. And it’s been the same with most wars London wanted to wage.” The biggest anti-war demonstrations were in London, IIRC. The leaders who took uk into that war included the Scots, Blair and Broon. Similarly, BOTH Scotland and London opposed Brexit, but democracy prevailed. Such small inconveniences often arise with participation in "democracy". 2. "“The E.U. is far from perfect,” an SNP political staffer told me. “But there are undeniable benefits.” She points out that if you need admission to a hospital in France, you’re seen immediately and the hospital is reimbursed by Britain’s National Health Service. Similarly, “if you want to set up a branch office of your company in Amsterdam, you can do it without the nightmare of regulation and paperwork that used to be a matter of course.”. So... you get seen in a hospital and the NHS pays for it. This is no different from what happens in the uk - other than the anecdotal panacea that "you're seen immediately"... Whatever that means. Also... Setting up companies in Amsterdam WITHOUT regulation and paperwork?! Hah. That assertion is fantasy. The EU - our politicians and media have long been complaining - has a regulation and paperwork fetish. But doing without it is no answer at all. Our current slump can be traced back to deregulation of the banks and lack of control by politicians. My apologies for the mish-mash of styles, cutting, pasting and typing above. I blame an iPad. I would blame not myself but salmonbuddie however, as it was he who posted the bollox that needed challenged, though mibbe he wanted the Lanarkshire fantasist to dive in and be drowned. His post and link provided far too shallow a pool.

The Producers. favourite fillum.

Meh. ...only if you have something really worth wiping on them.

It's a thought. were any of them tall enough...?

...are so much hotter in summer. i know that one.

A nightmare only due to your inept contributions, Shirley? An English teacher would appreciate the language sophistication ... and the sophistry...

I have to say, despite my antipathy towards all things sevco, it doesn't bother me that ANY manager would attend a football match. Sadly, AR supports that new team, so he might well spectate the match for his own pleasure, relaxation and enjoyment. (Though I cannae see it... ) He is in the fitba business: he SHOULD be taking in matches. If he can get paid for it, then well-done-him for multi-tasking.

Ta for that. To be honest, I doubt oaksoft has the power of concentration to read that far into a post. If it wasn't for you pesky pedants I'd have got away with it.

"Appear". The use of that word affirms that in reality no such thing has actually happened, but keep clutching at straws. BuddieinEK is Ok. He offered a suggestion on ellipsis which is not a rule. I noted his suggestion, remarked that it is not one that is a rule, more a convention and that many admirable writers do not submit to it. (I apologise that this is doubtless too deep (or too subtle?) for you, oaky, with your archaic borrowed banter such as, "your Mum's photo", but if you persist then a glimmer of understanding may creep into one of the many recesses in your mind to aid your clamber into maturity. Perhaps.) I need only add - and I am sure BuddieinEK and others will agree - that if ellipses were good enough for Bongovonbudvar, they'll do me fine........................

It CAN do. There is NO RULE. However, I concede that I usually follow Sam Beckett's lead on this... but.... WGAF.....?

I drove from Vancouver to Whitehorse - quite a bit further north - and loved every inch.... Though not the mosquitoes. this was when the Alcan highway was still not tarmaced. A dirt road. This was when I first realised I probably wouldn't climb EVERY mountain. lovely people, Canadians. Definitely different from Yanks. Montreal - a brilliant city, best appreciated mid-winter.
