  1. It will really help our negotiations with non EU countries too if we demonstrate that we're untrustworthy and negotiate in bad faith.
  2. Johnson will be getting through this. The question is whether he gets through by a lot or whether he scrapes through. I suspect the former. Tories like him because he's an utter c**t like they are.
  3. No. Constantine had accepted Aethelstan as overlord/overking a good ten years before he invaded what was then Scotland. I guess you could view him as more of an emperor than a king. I suppose it depends how you define "king" but to say "he was in no sense ever king" is a bit strong. The feudal pecking order stopped at him, above the nominal king of the Scots.
  4. The best bits in the bible are where Jesus refuses to share his loaves and fishes with people who have made bad life choices such as becoming lepers.
  5. Clubs to finish in order of bigness: Celtic Rangers Aberdeen Hearts Hibs Utd Kilmarnock Motherwell St Mirren St Johnstone Livingston Rossco
  6. An old firm loanee like Montgomery or Velicka or an EPL loanee like Ward or Hector? Hmm.
  7. It's true though. They've all decided not to starve.
  8. Why wouldn't i? Unless you think that factories full of bored paupers aren't making money for anyone?
  9. People working productively at jobs they hate is central to capitalism.
  10. The Boys season 3 should be out today. Whether this is something that annoys or delights me will depend entirely on whether Amazon has paywalled it.
  11. She made a cooked breakfast yesterday and managed to get bacon effluent burned on to the non-stick pan. If this wasn't impressive enough she soaked it in the sink (leaving it for me this morning) by placing the pan in the basin at 45 degrees with not enough water to reach the burnt bit.
  12. As far as chains of pubs go, Wetherspoons is about the best going. The competition is pub-themed readymeal cafes (Brewers Fayre, Harvester etc) or pretend irish pubs. It's just that chains by their nature eliminate the local character and variety of proper pubs, good and bad.
  13. Top Gun is a classic and you're all speaking shite. The spectacular aerial fight scenes with the guitar motif over the top, the bromance, the ott melodrama and the many quotable lines put it head and shoulders above Iron Eagle and (almost unbelievable that this needs said) Cocktail.
  14. Aethelstan has been called the first king of Britain. He had the kings of Alba, Strathclyde and Northumberland (covering modern mainland Scotland) wales and parts of Ireland give him fealty. Although if i remember rightly the scots king basically just said he would accept overlordship, then completely ignored it in practice. For a "british" monarchy, not a bad place to start the clock, i suppose.
  15. I have no issue with the mods. They have to make sure the forum content stays legal. It's the law and the pathetic mewling of the outraged order that's wrong.
  16. It's not sectarian and no it's not. It's a nickname for Rangers and their fans. It's not intended kindly. As a nominally protestant Scot from a family with strong masonic ties, it would be a bit weird for me to be prejudiced against "my own". The legislation is botched and leads to results that are counter to natural justice, like this nonsense.
  17. Legally, according to the lame brained definition put in law by the Scottish government, possibly. In reality and morally, nah. Rangers fans should be shunned, it's a question of decency
  18. You missed "conspired to have her gold-digging slut of a daughter in law assassinated"
  19. Pun or anagram. I needed muliple source confirmation before believing that Ramadani was real. In other news, we're rumoured to be in talks with former NI under 21 Mike Hunt.
