oxymoron?

I have friends coming through to the centre of the universe next week for a graduation in the Abbey. They want to go for a meal afterwards. .. only specification is non-Indian. (Not racists... it's more a spice thing)! Where is good for a meal, near the Abbey, midweek? Thanks in advance.

OK... I will take the hint... resorting to petty sarcasm shows me that you aren't up to reasoned discussions with adults after all.

Can you ask Hillary if she does discounts for small groups of pensioners... say 9 people.. A few places in EK give us tea or coffee and a scone or traybake for £1.50 outwith peak lunch times. Is that a possibility?

Whilst I agree with what you say, I'd qualify it with one wee point... Grainger played with a team devoid of confidence... in a team with a horrendous defence.. with players around him lacking in effort/motivation/confidence. .. and in a group still under instructions to pass pass pass. I wonder how young Sean would have performed under the same circumstances? I also wonder how Danny G would perform with the current team. Sean is in possession of the jersey and rightly so... but the criticism of a Saints player who has been introduced under extenuating circumstances us pitiful and short sighted. Why can't we get behind them both?

You said what any player does before Saints doesn't count...so again I ask...How do you decide who to sign?

So how the hell do you decide who to sign then?

That's like Man Utd fans after a few months of SAF saying "lets compare like for like performances in the Old Trafford dugout"! Very short sighted approach!

My thoughts would have not been influenced one iota by anyone beside me having dementia or not. That is neither here nor there and wouldn't have affected my opinion any more than theirs. I know people without dementia who would be offended... and people without dementia who couldn't care less. Why should a persons illness be relevant here? Oh... and I also know a person with dementia who HATES to be called a "sufferer" as his life experiences since diagnosis have been so much more varied... he went as far as to say at a public conference "don't call me a dementia sufferer... call me a dementia enjoyer". Now whilst that won't rest easy with everyone, it was his own personal belief which he is entitled to and I respect. Personally, I found MacLeans reactions highly inappropriate but am happy to get the best revenge possible... his own humiliation and seeing him shown up for what he is.

Fair enough... but again I wonder.. will that mean I'm better off at the expense of pensioners in the Midlands? Hard working Geordies? Unemployed Welsh miners? It's an awfy wee Island. I don't want to become wealthier at their expense.

The polis wanted to gesticulate too? Ohh!

psycho killer?

but we DID get to dissect a frog... officially!!!!!!

Bluto... that has been my Mantra since day one. Locally, the SNP politicians are among the few I respect and have time for... they care and I would vote for them without a moments hesitation at a local level... but I cannot agree with their national politics. I asked my local SNP MSP (who I have all the time in the world for) what the benefits of independence would be. After listening, I told her that if me being better off as a result of independence meant that some poor pensioner in Hull or Wigan suffered as a result... if some poor family in Leeds or Newcastle were worse off to make me wealthier... then I could not support that. I asked for a reason to support independence other than increased personal wealth. The only thing I got was "we would be able to make our own decisions"! Sorry... but increased devolution would give exactly that, would it not?

Foreskin? He was bloody lucky he didn't get the sac!

It's not Lee... it's Mairzo now that he has re-invented himself as everybody's pal and a decent defender too!!! If Mairzo reverts to Lee the Night... then bashing is totally appropriate... for now though, we will give him the benefit of the doubt and put it down to an isolated moment of slackness!

YET! I've seen enough to be convinced that a longer term contract for this lad would be no gamble at all... it would be an investment.

I was agreeing with you up till this point. For quite a part of his first loan period with us last season, Dummett had no positional sense and was regularly being caught out. He seemed to do not too badly learning in the first team.

Exactly. ... I may have him on the bench ahead if Cornell as long as he can show that kind of ability consistently in training... but no way would I drop Dilo for him! ;)

The manager rates him and wanted to keep him... the BoD felt at that point there was no need to sell. (Think it must have been pre-armageddon).

It wasn't made public so no worries about your memory. I was told in a conversation with a director.

He's a boy... he's NOT going to show the same level of performance week in week out... yet! Enjoy it when he does and support him when he doesn't. .. ya fellow dafty! ;)

That's my point exactly .. I hear that same criticism all the time... and yes... sonetines with justification. However, it was exactly the same with Adam and "them"! As for 500k... we turned that down last season! If he is encouraged and allowed to express himself he will be worth a whole lot more. For me, the biggest factor in his improvement is having Goodwin beside him as a minder and grafter to do the dirty work. When Kenny first broke into the team, it was alongside Goodwin. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Got it in one... thanks for clearing that up.
