  1. Even Effie Deans is pouring cold water on this one!

    if this is the best that they can come up after months of investigation (and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing) they should wind the investigation up now.  Next people will be questioning how a couple earning £240k pa with no dependants can possibly afford to inherit a half share in a Portuguese holiday home. It is risable.

    It's shite, IMO. Great idea, terrible execution. My least favourite Hartnell story.

    Sorry, scottsdad. ☹️

    Also, it's not on the iPlayer, that I can see? Only one of the four episodes actually still exists and they don't seem to have put it on there. There's a fairly new looking animated version on YouTube.

    The one episode is there under Season 3

    It is indeed equivalent of short stay, as long as you are happy to pay  extra compared to other airports and drive 45 mins longer, assuming you don’t live in Ayrshire. 
     

    I am not getting my knickers in a twist over blooming airport car parks but the fact is you were wrong to say Glasgow is twice the price for parking.

    1. What equivalent airport parking are you comparing it to?
    2. What has the fact you have to drive 45 minutes longer got to do with it?  You could drive another 3 hours and get to Manchester, but I’m not sure the relevance of that either?

    Except it is not at all cheaper at Prestwick.  I have booked 10 nights from a week on Monday at Glasgow airport and cost is £64 in the long stay car park.

    At least in Glasgow and  Edinburgh there are options for drivers and the actual airport facilities are night and day comparing between Prestwick and the other airports in the central belt.

    Apples and pears. Parking t prestwick is the equivalent of short stay. No bus needed.

    Stop being so wet, pal. They're getting paid a lot of money whilst publicising themselves. I'm highly doubtful Grace Dent or any of the other idiots are going to be adversely affected by what I think of them, nor do they need you white knighting them.

    As long as you feel good about yourself.

    It's an online forum and they are "celebrities". This means they are fair game and forever more shall be so.

    Also, I refuse to believe you don't agree that she is incredibly ugly.

    Being a celebrity doesn’t make you open season for any type of comment.

    From what we've been told, they aren't just investigating about the ringfenced monies but wider SNP finances and expenditure - money supposedly spent on campaigning but may have been on personal use.

    However, the people who are generally telling us are almost exclusively zoomers on Twitter. Effie Deans, Agent P, Thomas Ingram and Wings.

    Linda from Kent wants the rest of the UK to have a vote to expel Scotland from the Union. 

    To be fair, if it is a Union of Equals, it should be totally ok for the rest of the UK to do that.  I for one would applaud such an approach.

    To me the SNP's problems are fourfold:

    A complete failure to not be a massive clown car for the past few years of government. Public services, while not having time to go into figures, feel like they've gone to utter shit for most people. Now a lot of supporters will say that's not fair because XYZ KPI is better than in England but, and I can't believe this needs to be said, people don't give a shit about how public services in a country they don't live in are performing. 

    A complete failure to deliver on major development or other projects over several years. The full list of cock ups has been given ad nauseum, but it very much again feels like it's been quite a long time since the Government actually did anything noteworthy. 

    A drinking of the cool aid (that everyone patted themselves on the backs over) about Scotland being a more Liberal, Progressive place, that has led to sidelining a great deal of their traditional support - to the point that important (if reprehensible) figures like Ewing are, in the eyes of some prospective voters in important areas, being dumped in favour of the Scottish Greens. If you get the two points above right - make public services good and deliver on meaningful policies which impact large numbers of people - then you can essentially do what you like without looking like a bunch of student politicians messing around with identity politics while everything's on fire in the background. Scotland is not a particularly progressive place, sorry to say it! It's quite socially conservative in a lot of ways and has an aging populace just as exposed to lead in its youth as the rest of the UK.

    Selecting continuity Sturgeon as her replacement when the whole project was starting to feel very tired.

    I think the middle point here is the most important - just doing the day job would mark them out as more competent than Westminster, and not just deliver some ferries and roads, but probably independence. It is enormously frustrating.

    Yeah I think the steward showed a lack of awareness that Lowry was clearly about to play his shot, while I'm also sure that if that was a regular tournament Lowry wouldn't have responded quite like that. 

    Reminds of the classic clip of Seve when he turns to the gallery and says "I know you are nervous, but I am too".

     

    The Seve one is so different. It shows a touch of class. Lowry is swearing at a volunteer who is just doing his job. Twattish behaviour.

    The steward was in the wrong, you’re supposed to quieten the crowd prior to the player addressing the ball. He’s miles off it.

    I agree if he had addressed it. He hadn’t addressed the ball though, so the steward wasn’t wrong.
