    Same in any industry. Who'd have thunk we'd have female or gay clergy, people compromise when they have to.

    For other wee hills you've got the Cleish hills and even Saline hill gives a great view. Can camp in or by the woods near the top too.

    Hmm., I've hardly been the most anti Gaelic poster on this thread so I can only assume I've given you a bitch slapping on another thread and you're bearing a grudge. Let it go dude, let it go. Your Chi will thank you for it.

    You're really stretching here to make some kind of a point. I salute your effort though.

    I'm broadly with you, I've no issue with a bit of assistance to a traditional language that's struggling (like Gaelic) but if its an ever decreasing circle then its sort of pointless, leave it as a curiosity. The world changes and everyone wants to speak American. I had no idea the ex Dee goalie was as philosophical though, nice one.

    Get the 'them and us' in early, good ploy, always helpful in a debate when you can dismiss their opinions because of issues that have nothing to do with the current discussion.

    Heard similar myself, I'd go for Spanish rather than Gaelic though if a second language was being pushed.

    Gaelic is not part of my cultural heritage, its not part of my parents cultural heritage either, that logic doesn't stack up. If its something that's important to parents then they should make the effort rather than trying to get the education system to foist a dying language on kids. I'm not against people wanting to keep it going, good luck to them but I'd rather the kids got taught first aid than Gaelic at school.

    Happy for the teuchtars to hold on to it if it suits them but I'm not for the rewriting of history that its some great Scottish lingua franca-esq part of our history. No problems with train stations etc having the dual languages oop norf but not too sure about some of the lowland ones, especially New Towns it a bit revisionist for this cat.

    I've an arthritic elbow that acts as a pretty accurate barometer too. Its been getting worse without the bad weather which is a concern. Although saying that, when I fractured it aged 19 I quickly learned to be an ambidextrous w****r. Phew.

    There's better Czech beer out there.

    I've got a couple of Stella glasses that I use for my vitamin T. Freecycled from some detritus dumped during a previous visit by those lovable caravan dwelling travelling types. The glasses work really well, unlike the.....

    I had high hopes that my 'up to the age of 30' would be made law too. I've a hunch my daughter will get married in a couple of years, if I'm lucky she'd still make the cut and I could save a fortune. She doesn't have a will so I would probably inherit her stuff too. Win/win.

    You don't have the number of a good estate agent do you ?

    Yes, that was kind of my point, in this instance the current view might be the 24 weeks mark, it might change. Even if it didn't, public opinion could push parliament to change the law. Medical opinion is only part of the debate, take alcohol for example. We all know what the research suggests (currently) but its not set in law how much we can drink each week. It would be a vote loser if a party tried to restrict our alcohol intake directly (as opposed to using covert efforts like high tax). My point is that the laws on abortion can (and have been) changed. Whether you agree with the legislation is the debate here it seems.

    The decision as to if and if so when abortion is a legal one based on medical advice but the decision is made by people so changeable. Its not like the medical profession change their view on a subject over time either. In Ireland its illegal, that decision is made by people and the debate is whether to change it.

    In the same way as you can't have sex until you're 16 or can't drink until you're 18 etc. At least in this country. All these things including abortion are arbitrary.

    I take it the Antipodeans have managed to gauge it just right on all of the above then. A tip for the poppy people over here I guess.

    What about all the marching and sombreness that seems to cause outrage. Plenty royals too, I'm disappointed in P&B's collective laissez faire attitude to the whole glorifying of war. And war based charidees.

    Got to be honest, I like my lager to taste 'lagery' and not of some vague flowery shit.

    And not a mention on here, looks like other countries can have a wee occasion but not dear old Blighty.

    Good to see ANZAC day getting a free pass.
  23. chomp my root
    Yup.
  24. chomp my root
    That, ladies and gents is how you ever so politely dish out a bitch slapping.
  25. chomp my root
    A bit more butt action and if wouldn't be an issue.
