  1. He can't spell calendar. Unless he was talking about the town, then he can't spell Callander.
  2. It's not value-free, it tells you a lot about the person saying it.
  3. Dunno, but he looks as surprised as the sum. [emoji16]
  4. The memories and errors/typos of others are irrelevant to my point. The street signs said "Mirin", bank and building society statements said "Mirin", bus routes said "Mirin", PDE always said "Mirin", etc.
  5. It was called St Mirin Street back then.
  6. Why emphasise their skin colour? You don't get inclusiveness and equality by saying "look at me, I'm different" (or "look at them, they're different").
  7. Ginger history month? 5'2" brunette history month? Shetland pony history month?
  8. The world has always been run for the benefit of "the few". Their way of control is to convince enough people that if they work hard enough/earn enough that they too can become one of "the few". Which would obviously make them "the many", not "the few" - and "the few" don't really want that.
  9. I've never understood why any "group" that feels marginalised tries to get "equality" by singling themselves out. To me, the whole thing should be about inclusivity, avoiding labels, not pointing out differences.
  10. More to the point, why is it only January that has a comma after it?
  11. I know, that's not how you spell "pants".
  12. I've been accused of being many things in my life - but sensible????
  13. He's not very good with the maths though. The minimum difference between standard and 1st class wouldn't be between the cheapest standard fare and the cheapest 1st class fare, it would be between the dearest standard and cheapest 1st class. Just sayin', like.
  14. 3 parties??? I wasn't invited to any of them. 😪
  15. It's basically just a dickhead who has found something that he can do to annoy people that isn't against the law. There are quite a few of them on You Tube.
  16. I expected @shull to stop flogging dead horses. Unfortunately, ...
  17. To be fair, I don't know anyone (not even Alan) who refers to him as Mr St Mirren. That was just a press invention, though he really should have nipped it in the Bud (pun intended).
  18. IIRC (though I could be wrong), Alan's action against "the club and the board (as a whole)" was due to the stadium ban and totally separate from any proceedings the Kibble members of the board had taken (or implied they were taking) regarding Alan's comments. It seems unlikely that Alan dropping the threat of legal action resulted in the decision to lift the ban (at least directly) as that was not the reason for the ban in the first place. More likely that the board has said to Alan "we'll let you back in but we want you to drop the legal action" and Alan has replied "OK, the legal action was only because of the ban". So, in respect of this matter only, Alan gets what he wants without proceeding with legal action. In essence, the board have realised that they haven't got a (legal) leg to stand on regarding the ban and Alan's threat of legal action has made them shit themselves. The statement's wording is just a bit of spin to save face.
  19. I think it's the former. I was in 2 Fridays ago and it was pretty quiet(ish). Apparently it's always packed on a Wednesday.
  20. To me, he comes across as a complete tosser.
  21. I'm not excusing them, but isn't the whole of Gaza densely populated?
  22. It doesn't make sense at all. God made everything according to a single book that has no corroborating evidence. There's just as much evidence that a universe creating pixie called Kevin created everything. I.e. none. There is no evidence that the universe was "created" at all. He didn't die for my sins. Sin only exists if God exists and there is no good evidence for God.
  23. I have no trouble agreeing, for arguments sake, that Jesus existed and said all the stuff he is supposed to have said. I could even grant all the miracles and the resurrection. None of that, in part or whole, proves that he was the son of god.
  24. Jesus fulfilling the law means that he obeys the law perfectly, it has nothing to do with the law ending. He said (paraphrasing), that the law still exists if heaven still exists. As Christians believe that they will spend eternity in heaven then heaven can't end and therefore the law can't end. I won't be judged by anyone after I'm dead. If it simply means that the message will be divisive, he could have said "My message will be divisive" instead of all that nonsense so, no, I don't think that is what it means. He specifically says that you should love him MORE than your family members.
