Funny, that rings a bell...

You beat me to it. Confident and direct without being arrogant, and the juxtaposition with Corbyn's bumbling mound of fudge beforehand reinforced that of these two politicians, only one is fit for the office they currently hold. I also hope that a lot of folk in North-East Scotland tuned in to hear something different from the weasel words Gove, Davidson and Bertie Armstrong have been peddling.

I've been hearing this stuff for most of my adult life chief, but I'm happy for you to put up or shut up

Maybe Allan Allan, Donald Donald and Ross Ross will get you going....

Not forgetting Arthur Arthur ......

Commiserations to Berwick on such a painful day. I wish you well for the future, safe in the knowledge that on 28th January 1967 you achieved the most seismic result in the history of Scottish senior club football - I recall it well.

With hee-haw happening I decided to play a wee mental puzzle in which, based on former Sons, players have the same forename and surname. Thus we have William Williams, Craig Craig, Steven Stevens, Jack Jack, Graham Graham, etc.,. Can anyone improve on Boris Borris ?

That is utter rubbish. I access Wings very regularly, along with several other sites across the political spectrum. I very seldom post but as I've already posted on here, whatever you think of Stuart Campbell his forensic analysis and exposure of Unionist mistruths is second to none. Of course there are zoomers who post nonsense but you need to look beyond that.

Peter Barlow just said PITK on Corrie !

I think everything will become clearer once the Scotland position is settled. Not long now.

I don't think anyone should get too vexed by Question Time. There was a time long ago when it was a highlight of the viewing week and indeed I looked forward to it, but it seriously lost its way, with audiences becoming more representative of polemical interest groups than an honest cross-section of the general public. The political right, being more desperate for the oxygen of publicity, has disgracefully been allowed by the show's producers to skew the debate. And there's the rub; as that has happened, so QT's viewing figures and influence have steadily waned.

Looks like the Government/Labour talks are about to end without agreement - quelle surprise.

It's like having a wasp in the room... annoying but you know that it will eventually f**k off.

Talking about fish counters, the buggers in Pitlochry have shut the one at the dam on the River Tummel at Faskally. That only leaves the Hawkshead shop to occupy folk[emoji26]

Leonard is the political equivalent of the manager of the Dunfermline branch of Woolworths who hasn't yet realised that they've gone under.

Where is all this shit coming from an who is behind it ?

Explain to me - is it Birmingham UK or Birmingham, Alabama being referred to ?

I'm enjoying the wee man contributing piercing insights in the way only a Rolls Royce employee can do.

The more the medieval states in the US revert to the 14th Century, the more will be the flight of those more able to the seaboards. The net result will be a socio-economic sandwich in which the middle descends completely into a wild, virtually ungovernable dystopian Southern Comfort hell-hole.

'Altruism' - fucking priceless.

Oh I'm sure Ruth will be along soon to make voting SNP illegal.

Yep, and the American rhetoric has been directly contravened by a senior military rank operating within an international monitoring group in the Middle East. Putin will be watching events closely.

I wonder who recently sabotaged the oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz. My money is on covert US operations.

Within six weeks ITV will have replaced The Jeremy Kyle Show with a feelgood chat show called 'Chukka & Chums'. First guests will be Paul Dacre and The Chief Rabbi.

Your argument had validity 20 years ago, but most contemporary UK newspapers are a pale imitation of their former selves, and likewise television. The trick in the new media age is to know where to look for what we remember as robust, fact-checked journalism.
