  1. SNP lose £800k and now have negative reserves. What a state of affairs for them. Now about the £600k that is sitting waiting to be spent on a referendum...
  2. It's a great car but if you are going for the HSE then the range will be about 180 miles. I had mine from new and driven 45K miles. Really nice car but try and get one with the Active air suspension.
  3. Only the i-pace isn't actually built by Jag, it's built by Magna Steyr
  4. He wasn't even the best up front for Man United in the period. Cantona - 143 games, 64 goals = Goal every 2.23 games Cole - 195 games, 93 goals = Goal every 2.09 games Yorke - 96 games, 48 goals = Goal every 2 games
  5. Eric Cantona's reputation was based on his arrogance and off-field idiosyncrasies. If you want to argue that Man Utd were elevated by Cantona then it would be on the way he impressed his character on his team mates, not on his outstanding football abilities. Anyone arguing that he was a generation football talent should be booking a visit with a neurosurgeon ASAP.
  6. The club retain the ground as security on the loan. I would think that if planning permission is refused then CC will default on the loan which will then see the ground returned to the club. In finance terms it doesn't make any real difference as the ultimate beneficiary is the same (minor Dumbarton shareholders excepted of course).
  7. He shouldn't have been looking at lower league players and should have signed three guys from a lower league. I'm confused. Without sounding like I am defending Duffy here but perhaps he looked at the players you have signed and saw them playing at a level where he thought they would have you competing.
  8. I never said you used the word ignore so get over yourself. Your posts clearly show that you think the SNP have been badly treated by the press, I disagree. Coming back to the two issues - on ferries, it's a big deal for the communities that are being deprived of reliable ferry services. Aging fleet, doubling of repair bills and at least £230m spend on two ferries that should have cost £97m On the police investigation, they were arrested and questioned. You can continue to ignore this important element of the investigation but it did happen. I have no intention of alleging that Police Scotland has been corrupted by the SNP but the echos that are being heard on here are not about corruption or due diligence but of the persecution on the SNP. I await the police finding sufficient evidence of wrongdoing and the you on here complaining about the corruption of Police Scotland by the "Brit media", the establishment or some other pie in the sky rubbish.
  9. Are you seriously suggesting that the press should ignore the ferries? If you make a career out of blaming others, forgetting about important events and crowing about the Westminster corruption then you can have no complaints when your own actions and those of the Government that you led is being taken to task over the very same matters. As for the camper vans, the ex-First minister and senior members of the party governing Scotland have been arrested in an on-going police investigation - In Scotland, and anywhere else where there is a functioning press, this is going to generate coverage and there is nothing positive that could be taken from the way the SNP have had a complete failure of governance.
  10. This is deluded nonsense. During and after Brexit there was much adulation towards Sturgeon with comments from voters down south about how she was representing them better than their own representatives. Many were impressed by her leadership and positioning over Brexit and it's aftermath. Shame she was actually pretty cluelesson how to take political advantage or perhaps she got exactly what she wanted from the situation. Regardless, she has had the best press on any SNP leader ever.
  11. I must be in the minority as I enjoyed the game on Saturday although that may be as a consequence of the last competitive game being v Clyde at Hamilton which was a terrible game of (allegedly) football. Left the ground on Saturday feeling like we dropped two points, I felt that Stenny had a 10 minute period in the first half where they could have hurt us and outside of that, they were no threat. We had a couple of really good opportunities - Hamish hitting the post, O'Keefe through on the keeper. Wedderburn really likes us, the number of times he held a Peterhead players hand/arm or gave them a two armed hug was embarrassing to watch. The only thing more embarrassing was our inability to take any long distance shots in the second half. Basic stuff.
  12. LPG 2 year pricing 47ppl for approx 7 kWh (actually slightly above this). Condensing boiler at 93% efficiency works out at £0.0742 per kWh. Even at it's most efficient in February (with the price cap) you were still paying £0.0928 per kWh. If the government hadn't capped prices you would have been paying approx £0.20 per kWh. In your case you have RHI to offset that, this is no longer available so isn't valid when looking at the economics of a new installation. I am also interested in how you get hot water. Do you have supplementary heating for this to take the water temperature to 60 degc?
  13. In the UK you would need the boiler to be running under 40% efficiency before it would be anywhere close to the cost of electric heating. Like with Electric cars there is this idea that we can all jump over to the green side and remove fossil fuel. Where is all this additional electricity going to come from?
  14. The "up to" qualifier is the important part. If you use oil or LPG then you know what kWh you get from each litre. The time you want a heat pump to be most efficient is when it is least efficient. There is also little point extolling the virtues of a heat pump with RHI when it's no longer available. £ for £ you are not going to see savings with a heat pump that will give you any chance of covering the installation costs.
  15. It didn't actually say that. However is Irish Cream a British favourite?
  16. He 100% did unless he was flying it himself.
  17. How many did they need though? The average age of the fleet has risen significantly under the SNP.
  18. Of course they aren't linked. Can you imagine what would happen in the Mayor said "f**k it, I've listened and we are scrapping the ulezs and to compensate we are closing the outside lanes to reduce all roads to single carriageways"
  19. I'm pretty sure no one, including Farage, has claimed that having a dossier is illegal. The claiming that an action was solely taken over a financial threshold when your dossier shows that wasn't the case and then lying about it is a little more problematic for an entity that is nearly 40% owned by the Government who already have issues with PEPs isn't going to end well.
  20. Have you not been following this? They did have something to hide.
  21. No he doesn't. There will be a settlement before any court case.
  22. It's saying something when Farage looks like the most truthful person in this episode.
  23. If you pull out causing someone to brake then I wouldn't say you had correctly judged the speed nor distances. That was certainly how I was taught when I was learning to drive - don't pull out if doing so would cause another vehicle to brake.
  24. Don't really know anything about the guy. I do think his viewpoint will resonate with many independence supporters.
