Aye, he only fessed up after the Times doorstepped him about it.

There will still be more SNP MPs after the next general election under Humza Yousaf than there ever were under cuddles Salmond.

I got an email from DB yesterday that looked like your standard promotional bumf, but when I translated it said that they were going to close down my account unless I logged in. Just a heads up, I just logged in and checked my reservations were still there.

Quite a wee business they've got going there, silhouettes for every occasion. Bit creepy mind.

It's usually the wind that does for games at Fraserburgh, spent nearly 5 hours getting there by train and bus one year and it was called off at 2.50.

Agree with most of that but Buckie and Brora have drained fine up until this season and just need a serious bit of work over the summer. Strathspey and Keith could probably do with plastic though.

It's from a press release by some branding PR consultancy, and the full picture is far more mixed than the Daily Express presented it. https://brandfinance.com/press-releases/brand-finances-global-soft-power-index-2024-usa-and-uk-ranked-top-nation-brands-china-takes-third-place-overtaking-japan-and-germany

Seems some Israelis have taken against TVP, a Polish English language TV channel that interviewed their Ambassador. Apart from accusing Poles who protested Israel's behaviour in Gaza of being anti-semites, he three times refused to answer whether the IDF would have bombed the convoy if they thought there might have been someone they suspected of being linked to Hamas onboard. That's what I think probably happened, collateral damage is no longer part of their calculations. https://tvpworld.com/76772819/exclusive-full-interview-with-israels-ambassador-to-poland-yacov-livne

Religion is often used as code for race, so Muslim is often used interchangeably with South Asian. You often get racists claiming they can't be because Islam/Judaism/Catholicism isn't a race. Political opinion isn't used the same way. P.S. The Act specifically rules out criticism of religious ideas and practices as an offence, it also abolishes the offense of blasphemy.

I think she's Hungarian, not sure about the hooligan part..

I get that, but the reason for the backlog of games is because these specific clubs have been postponing games all season when in previous seasons they wouldn't have needed to.* *except for Keith, they've always had trouble..

Brora v Vale moved to Golspie Buckie v Strathspey postponed Forres v Wick postponed Keith v Brechin 1.30 pitch inspection postponed All due to waterlogged pitches. All 4 clubs need to get serious in the summer about sorting the drainage out, this season has been embarrassing. Brora, Buckie and Forres have been some of the more reliable grounds till this year.

You going without her?

The clubs had 2 fewer fixtures this year and Fort William would have finished their fixtures by March 23rd if the Halkirk game hadn't been postponed. It's poor that they couldn't raise a team despite having reserves available, and it was daft to book holidays so soon after the scheduled season given our weather, but plenty other teams have struggled for players at the end or beginning of the season, particularly before the end of the Summer amateur leagues which are more popular than the North Caley in some parts of the region. The difference is they always manage to put some kind of team together, I hope and expect Fort William will start next season with serious negative points, it's not like they had an outbreak of the plague.

Average daily number of shares traded has been 6.74 million, total number of shares being around 112 million. They only went public last week so I don't really know what that means. I agree that nearly all the volatility will be down to speculators, the mad trumpets responsible for the massive over valuation of the failing company won't be selling.

Early indications of today's trading would suggest that the share price has hit its floor pending more shares coming on the market, hovering around the $50 mark after peaking at $79.38 last week.

It's mainly because the criticisms so far are made up nonsense, factually incorrect.

It's all very reasonable for Murdo Fraser.

Unsurprisingly unappreciated by someone who manages to burn fish fingers.
