  1. By contrast last year Ross County were up against Partick Thistle who had already played four games to get there.
  2. Good camouflage when sitting on the Glasgow Underground, maybe.
  3. Feel like I'm watching Orange versus 02 here. Orange aren't doing too well.
  4. At 58%, Bangladesh has the highest amount of arable land for its size of any country in the world. This is in part due to all the flooding providing nutrients to the soil. Similarly Java has a lot of good farmland due to all the active volcanoes.
  5. Does all this James Bond stuff happen to me in real life. Yeah. All the time but I try not to talk about it.
  6. The reason he lacks allies is that the George Galloway project is all about getting as much attention as he can. He opposed the Iraq War but he is also in favour of capital punishment. He was in favour of EU membership but then he went against it. Hopelessly inconsistent about where he is on the political spectrum. Just a maverick.
  7. Goldfinger is ridiculous on this one.
  8. All parties heading for defeat start looking inwards, adopting policies that are most appealing to their own members and activists and giving themselves a sense of purity - "This is who we really are". That continues until they realise that it doesn't win elections and then they change tack.
  9. I wonder what Doctor Feelgood have to say about this.
  10. "Realistically Edinburgh City might not be playing in the Champions League but the usual teams had better watch out. Edinburgh City have a style and tactics that people have been crying out for. If the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid don't come to Edinburgh and see what it is all about then they can forget about winning trophies for the foreseeable future."
  11. I once had to go to Stonehaven so I took the train to Aberdeen and then leapt on to the train to Dundee only to discover it didn't stop at Stonehaven. In answer to your question Montrose is like twice as far from Aberdeen as Stonehaven. HTH
  12. Nonsense. They have doubled their numbers just like that. If that keeps happening year on year then it won't be long before they will have more councillors than the entire population of the world.
  13. I love how they say cut immigration and raise wages and everybody cheers and says everybody deserves a decent wage but when Mick Lynch says his workers need a pay rise and everybody deserves a decent wage they say that would be nice but it can't happen because it would fuel inflation.
  14. No idea who this one Councillor is but fairly certain they will be invited on to Question Time in the very near future.
  15. He was once in a band called "Mott the Hoople" who did a Bowie song called "All the Young Dudes".
  16. In series 2, Simmons is driven in a car where the chauffeur was once in a band called Splodgenessabounds who had a song called "Pint of lager and two packets of crisps please". Gene let's him play the song on the cassette recorder. At this point the narrator points out that the only person in the car who has had commercial success in the UK is the chauffeur. Ouch.
  17. Are you referring to the P&B poll here? 23,000 posters sounds a lot.
  18. Then again it might be the Tories' only opportunity to be in government somewhere in the UK at Christmas time.
  19. Although I do like Rock Music, I have never understood the appeal of Kiss. I don't like their stage show, all the heavy make-up and most of all I don't really like any of their songs with the exception of "Beth". Beth was a ballad written by their drummer, it doesn't sound like any of their other songs and worse of all for them - it was their most successful song. There is an acoustic version (i.e. unplugged) and an orchestral version. After they sacked the drummer - Peter Criss - they re-recorded with their new drummer. Having said all that, Gene Simmons was entertaining with his Rock School series - especially in Series 2 where he goes to a comprehensive in Lowestoft and they show him no respect at all.
  20. Wizard of Oz The Hound of Baskerville
  21. "They are all useless" is a ploy to start a narrative to get rid of the Scottish Parliament altogether and have all decisions made in London.
