The Times ranks Aberdeen as the 2nd best in Britain, behind Cambridge, for Law.

The Edinburgh - Glasgow Queen Street trains were all canceled when I was getting my train home. Delays were expected on Edinburgh - Stirling trains due to the weather as well.
Must be pretty bad for that to happen. It's actually not too bad in Kirkcaldy though, go us!

Because of uni work, I was unable to get to the gym at any point last week. Having went today, I can testify that missing even a week is awful. I was knackered after half an hour.

These feeble puns are becoming very tedious.
And yes, GingerSaint - grow a pair and chuck her. Andy is spot on with what he says. I've been there too with a girl I didn't want to finish with, but knew the relationship wasn't going to work. Prolonging the relationship is only going to prolong the pain...

It can't be worse than the Crucible. It just can't.

Tell me about it. Today, I was stood in a group of about 7 or 8 people, all wanking over COD. Kill death ratios, best maps, guns, the lot.
!Fantastic, isn't it?
I usually have to contend with the additional "aha, I well bettied you earlier" too. COD 'banter' is absolutely dreadful.
I really don't care, it's a fucking game!

Any obsession with COD, or similar game, to the extent that it appears in several posts a day amounts to geekery.
Likewise with playing it online, constantly. It's slowly taking over from WoW as the choice of the spotty virgin.

COD. w**k
Fucking geeks.
+1.
Having uni work due was actually a blessing in disguise - I don't have to go out and listen to all my mates going on about shiting COD. That's if any of them have actually vacated their PS2.
I really don't understand. They play the same online game (hardcore search and destroy), against the same people repeatedly. No doubt they'll have some new 'hilarious' banter about COD MW2, as well.
What a bunch of sad fucks.

Aye, ok.Provisional? That means f**k all at the end of the day. Had we played the game, provisional or not, an immediate prejudice comes over our appeal. "Oh they've started playing, let's not disturb the league any further" or something along those lines. None of the games involving the teams should have been played and that would have been the case until Dave Siegel at Ross County threatened to sue the SFL.
Airdrie and Cowdenbeath had already played. Going by your own argument, re-instating Livingston would have 'disturbed the league'. Ergo, Livingston wouldn't have been put back up anyway if what you claim is correct.
It's perfectly correct that the games were played. What if this saga had dragged on for a few weeks? I can't imagine clubs would be too pleased having to catch up on mid-week nights, do you?

Would the decision to play have prejudiced the decision? yes.
That 'reasoning' was nought more than a facade. Toys out the pram is more or less on the money.
Cowdenbeath and Airdrie both fulfilled their fixtures. It was made clear to both these teams that the results were provisional. The same would have applied to Livi.

"ah'm not wantin' ae play this gem coz eh ah relegashun" is not a valid excuse for missing a fixture.
Did the entire squad go down with bubonic plauge? no
Was the pitch unplayable? no
You can't just pick and choose which games you're going to turn up for. They should be hit with a points deduction.

My main gripe was it led to a bunch of nuggets staying on, disrupting things for the rest of us. It was money for old rope really. There should be minimum requirements: do three highers or you're not getting it. Something like that. *
I may also have been slightly jealous these people could afford to buy a nice £80 pair of trainers at the end of the month and I couldn't.
*And pay it to the parents, as they're the ones incurring the expense of the child being at school.

Boo fucking hoo.
And your point is what, exactly?
Petty - check
Gets on my nerves - check
Bad day causing me to be a tad arsey about things - check

People getting EMA gets right on my tits.
The theory behind it is that the extra money will allow children to stay at school, whom may otherwise have been 'made' to leave by their parents and get a job, due to them being unable, or would struggle, to keep them at school financially.
Accordingly, why don't they give it to the parents? All they're doing is providing the Strongbow/Lambert & Butler fund with credit for the weekend piss-up. In my experience, it also led to a few complete and utter nuggets staying on at school too - they could get £120 a month for turning up, easy money. I doubt they'd have been there were it not for the EMA.
On a personal level, I'd have used any EMA money to buy some new clothes. In fact, I do spend some of the money I get o clothes- I earn it by working.

Aye, this CoD obsession is tragic. I've actually got off lightly. Given that i've got uni work to get on with, I've not seen any of my non-uni mates. Accordingly, i don't have to suffer their pish about how good CoD is.
Fucking geeks.

Capy tells the truth...
I'm honestly amazed the courier services can operate in Edinburgh. Dreadful roads, particuarly bad given it's Scotland's capital city.
I'm pretty sure I'll be needing part of my exhaust replaced after going straight through a pothole. Seems to be rattling a bit, although nothing major. It'll get progressively worse, though.

I bit the bullet and drove into Edinburgh for the first time today. I won't be doing it again - the roads are a fucking state, potholes everywhere.
Capybara's constant moaning about them is fully justified. They're a mess.

Let's assume that is the case, once cigarettes are banned the most addictive substance remaining will be alcohol, will they ban that too? It is a slippery slope to go on.
Who on earth advocated banning cigarettes?
They will never, ever be banned. They rake in far too much money in tax. They're one of Brown's favorite stealth taxes, along with booze.
Edited to add - The only 'slippery slope' we're on is the slide to price rises year upon year. Alcohol and tobacco duty are the traditional easy target in the budget. It could get even worse up here should the minimum pricing bill go through.

Whether you think it's hypocritical or not, I'd say the main reason it's being done is because smoking is more addictive than alcohol. Were people to smoke to the same extent they drank, the alcohol would probably do more damage. However, this doesn't generally occur in practice. Most people who smoke will do so regardless of whether they've been drinking or not.
I've never understood 'social smoking'. I know several people who'll smoke when they're drunk, yet won't touch it sober. Bizarre.

Don't people have a right to get addicted to what they want to?
If smoking is consumed in moderation does it cause any serious health problems?
Really? What a bunch of losers.
Your stand on alcohol and tobacco is hypocritical to be honest.
It's a crazy policy, but at least it is consistent.
How many people do smoke in moderation though?
Not many people who drink will drink everyday. Most people who smoke will smoke every day. It's not really as hypocritical as you make it out to be.

I've applied for about half a dozen jobs and been rejected because I'm a rookie, or in one case because I said I wouldn't work weekends (which I'm obviously now going to have to sacrifice if I want a job).
No wonder no-one will employ you! Weekends are when you're needed most in retail.
I work both Saturday and Sunday, yet still manage to enjoy my Saturday nights etc. The weekend doesn't have to be sacrificed just because you have a job.

Just went through the pictures on my spare phone there, some absolute crackers. I've had the memory card the phone uses since I was 17, quite funny looking back at some of them. A few reminders of what the £12 free bar at Candlerooms did to us all as well!
On the slightly negative side, there were a couple of pictures of me and my ex. That put a bit of a dampener on things.

Broke my phone at uni today. It was in my pocket, and a small bump off a table as i walked past has caused the screen to go all black.
Thankfully, I should be able to get it replaced quite easily. My old SE Walkman phone is a respectable enough replacement for now too.

It's Kris Boyd!
My Petty nag, is that I feel a little rough from last night and I'm playing 5's tonight. Penance springs to mind.
