Train station names in English and Gaelic. Camelon and in the gaelic "Camalan" ? What a waste of money.

You're paying for something on the phone and they ask for the last 3 digits of the security number on the back........ Is there a reason why the cards have several numbers on the back when everybody appears to only want the last 3 numbers ?

Used to love a Curly Wurly and got my hands on some Curly Wurly Squirlies which resemble chocolate worms. Wish I hadn't bothered. Rubbish chocolate around some uninspiring tasteless caramel. Reckon worms dipped in proper chocolate would taste better.

There is an argument to be made but I've heard it and am not convinced. Like many others I don't think independence is a panacea for the situation Scotland is in.

Right that's the vote done. Can Nicola and the rest of her glorified councillors get on with running the country, sorting education, the NHS, the police and the numerous other things that should be prioritised ahead of posturing and promoting a referendum that most people in Scotland do not want.

Nice popping on here every few days to see the debate rolling along. Interesting how some of those who promote an independent Scotland don't care about the jobs of Scottish people.

A vote will go straight down party lines with the SNP and Greens winning. Then wee Nicola can say the democratic voice of the Scottish parliament is not being listened to and she will declare "a national huff".

I am old enough and wise enough to know that politicians, financial experts and the media will tell the plebs all sorts of nonsense knowing that ultimately when things go pear shaped they can blame somebody else for the totally unexpected situation that we end up with. Wee Nicola saying follow me and I will take you to a better place isn't going to wash with the majority of people in Scotland. The SNP have had plenty of opportunity and the powers to make Scotland a better place and we are going backwards in the several areas which are the responsibility of the Scottish Government. The SNP supporters will no doubt moan that the poor performance is caused purely by a lack of money and that's the fault of Westminster. They will tell you that in a successful independent Scotland the money will be available but the reality is that the only way the Scottish Government gets more money is through massively increased taxes. If a person is struggling to ride a bike then you don't let them loose on an expensive unicycle. Canny Scots will not be persuaded by these charlatans to ditch the stability of being part of the UK to take a chance that an independent Scotland would be the better option. Nicola is gambling on a loser.

They need memorable names like Screaming Lord Sutch. #ProperPolitician

From the RSPB website "Greenfinches :- A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly "

As this is Pie and Bovril I am going to put this in Fitbaw terms:- If you are struggling to manage a pub side you shouldn't be putting yourself forward for a Premier League managers job. Education ? Fecked Public transport ? Fecked Health service ? Fecked Local authority services ? Fecked Police ? Fecked Business growth ? Fecked Life expectancy ? Fecked There is so much that the Scottish Government should be doing but instead they do very little, let the country decline and blame the UK government for everything. It's the "a big boy done it and ran away" excuse. Time the SNP grew a pair and showed they are leaders and not moaning minnies.

Corned beef cans and those wee keys !!

The G-Shock as shown by 8mile BU is the best all rounder everyday watch on the market IMO.

Lighten up guys Trump hasn't issued a "shoot on sight" executive order........ yet.

Might be a bit risky spending a lot of money on a digital piano and then find you struggle with it. Safest bet is a £2 Kazoo.

Seen foxes and cats out at night and they just ignore each other. Not really competitors. Foxes out looking to raid food bins and eat any scraps. Cats out playing at being tigers and attempting to kill wee stuff.

Super Furry Animals..........something for the weekend

Roy Wood murdering See my baby jive on The Jools Holland Hogmanay show. Slightly better than Chaka Khan !!

George Michael .....his Last Christmas.

Part of the joy of opening Christmas presents is guessing what they are so it's a black mark against the wife for not wrapping the big Toblerone she bought me. Had she bothered to wrap it I would have been guessing for ages. #NaeFun

Seriously guys marry a woman who is financially better off than you. #Sorted #SuperModels
