  1. None so blind as those who cannot see huh?

    Those people in George Square that you are referring to were Scots. Their behaviour deserved abuse I guess, but I never could quite understand why some of the Saltire carriers at the scene were calling them "English bastards". rolleyes.gif

    Tell me as well IOBS, what happened when English writer JK Rowling donated money to the Better Together campaign? Do you not remember? Will I dig out some of the xenophobic tweets that were made on her account by pro nationalists presumably from Scotland? What about the cries of "quisling" aimed at Jim Murphy on the campaign trail? And there's so, so much more.

    To claim there's no anti English sentiment in Scotland anymore just shows you up for the idiot you really are!

    Don't often act like a pedant, but the correct phrase is "None so blind as those who will not see.", it's a matter of choice rather than ability.

  2. Plan A, according to Alex Salmond and the White Paper, is a currency union with the UK. They've been told that won't be happening - so Plan B becomes relevant. Salmond wouldn't state what Plan B was - he just insisted that Scotland would be using Sterling, that Scotland had as much right to the UK currency as the members of the UK - which seems strange since Scotland would be leaving the UK, and that Darling was right that Sterling is a fully trade able currency.

    To use your analogy it's more like saying you'll be getting to work driving my car when I've told you I'm not letting you.

    Scotland won't be leaving the UK. When Scotland gains indepencence, there will be no UK (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) it'll be a different political entity from what it is now, the UK will be broken into two pieces, Scotland and something else, the United States of the Kingdoms of England and Northern ireland and the Principality of Wales.

  3. Quoted as saying he was "stupid" to pay the money. If there's one thing he isn't, it's stupid. £60 mill paid means he won't be in prison, so can earn that £60 mill back. He's also suggested they use the money to build an F1 track in Bavaria, so giving him another income stream to earn the money back.

    He's on a par with Blatter, just a bit less sleazy.

  4. Keep hearing about them but have never seen or heard them. They're doing a free show today in Castle Park in Bangor so I'm going along. Are they good? I'm quite looking forward to it.

    They played at our work's recent event in edinburgh, did a craking version of Joan Jett's "I love rock and roll". Have a look on YouTube. (that's have a look on YouTube, no' have a look on, Ya Tube)

  5. Yes, indeed, just in time to coincide with the season of biting and stinging insects, a major food company has developed an insect repellant that removes the likelihood of pain, and puts pleasure in its place. It's an ice cream in a very popular flavour that guarantees to keep insects at bay, yes, an ice cream

    It's Waspaway Wipple

  6. The newspapers this morning have been suggesting that the maximum FIFA can apply is a 24 match ban - two years - at International Level. It can also be applied to domestic football apparently. There are also reports that Liverpool's board are meeting today to discuss what their next move is with the player.

    There was a girl from Uruguay on Radio 5 around midnight last night who called in to say that she couldn't see how Suarez biting an opponent is any worse than Alex Song's assault on Mandzukic and she perhaps has a point. There could be an argument that it's an HIV or Hepatitis C risk but is apparently low risk and it would only be a factor if the bite broke the skin and it doesn't look like it did. FIFA have to act ofcourse and since it's his third offence I'd expect a lengthy ban, but the Uruguay caller last night certainly made me think as to why we get so outraged at a bite and barely blink when Song uses his elbow to try to damage another players spine.

    Cos a bite's what frustrated toddlers do when they are stopped from doing what they want, adults have a swing at someone, so by doing that he comes across as controllable as a terrible two-year old.

  7. Pretty obvious from the pictures and Chiellini's reaction that old horse-teeth has done it gain. Given that it's his third offence in major games, God knows how many times he did it as a kid, how long should he get this time? 7 game ban at Ajax, 10 game ban at Liverpool. And should the ban be extended to club football, say a 20 game ban on all football?
