Me too, in some bizarre church league in the late 70s. ( Feel free to apply the adjective to the simple or complex noun, as suits. )I played on Helenvale...when I say played, I was there.2 -
Steve Archibald moves from Clyde to Aberdeen, featuring Craig Brown with hair.

2. It makes sense if you are blind to the idea that NHS waiting lists and the existence of private health care are related. Do you think the agency staff, surgeons, consultants etc only work in one or the other?The following two statements are both true and not mutually exclusive
1. Having an NHS that’s free at the point of use and based on clinical need rather than ability to pay is a very good and important thing and we should absolutely protect that
2. It absolutely makes sense to pay for private medical insurance if you have the means to do so because the standard of private care is far superior to that which the state provides
I imagine you would also argue that the existence of private schools does not impede the educational entitlement and aspirations of all children.
Leaving that aside, you are confusing "choice" with ability to pay. While it's easily argued that this is just about acceptable in some areas of life - where to go on holiday; which car to buy - this doesn't work for fundemental rights or needs.1 -

Apologies. I thought you were referring to 1979 when, following the "defeat" in the first devolution referendum, the SNP voted with Thatcher's Tories in the vote of no confidence in James Callaghan's Labour Government. As a result the motion was carried by one vote, a general election was called - and we know what happened next!I wasn't doing anything. I just don't think 59-seat Scotland often makes the crucial difference in 650-seat elections. Starmer would also have to do unbelievably badly or the general public would have to be even more of a bunch of p***ks than I've assumed if the Tories don't get absolutely battered at the next election.0 -
I think I see what you're doing here. It was a shameful episode, but the party is quite different now, from grassroots to the leadership.When was the last time that Scotland held the balance of power after a General Election? Does it happen very often?0 -
Guessing the latter, as quoting multiple posts probably beyond Mr. Cowan.Is[mention=38557]kapowzer[/mention] tam or does he just let him use his log in now and again?

That's enterprising reporting for BBC Scotland, as they could easier take to the streets of Govan - I suspect they don't as the natives have hammered at the gates a few times.The chancellor will deliver his Autumn Statement on Thursday, so we we went and asked people who are hanging around in George Square on a Monday afternoon for their considered opinions on the macroeconomic picture.
f**k off BBC.
In the days of the old HQ, it was rare to see a vox pop that didn't have the building in QM Drive as a backdrop.0 -
Likewise. Can still remember the relief that an ageing Santillana was starting for Spain, rather than the emerging Butrogueño. And, of course, a Scottish appearance by Goikoetxea, The Butcher of Bilbao, who had recently broken Maradona's ankle..I was at that one.0 -
In the interests of research, I thought I'd have a look, something I have always avoided.I had the misfortune of flicking through a Daily Record today and Cowan has without a hint of irony, used his column to have a dig at Peter Kay and his entire routine being only remembering things from the past.
Just read the opening (ahem) paragraphs : Peter Kay tells lots of jokes about his childhood; Jamie Oliver goes on a bit; Gregg Wallace has a bit of a hit for himself.
Such wit, insight and erudition!0 -
As a fellow campervan ( nae doot his will be a "motorhome" ) owner, I am strangely drawn to it, if only to confirm what I had thought, that he goes to the most unimaginative campsites and destinations there are.Anyone else occasionally find themselves doomscrolling Cowan's Instagram now? I don't know why I do it, but I can't help myself.1 -
All funghi are edible; it's just that some will kill you!
The first photo looks like clouded agaric. If so, like many wild mushrooms, it is tasty and absolutely fine for most people but others will get terrible stomach pain. Best left alone. If tempted to try any wild mushroom you think you have identified as fine, always take a very small amount the first time and see how it goes, because even the most common ones upset some folk.
Pretty hard to even guess at the second one. It's always a good idea to photograph stems and gills/pores to help with identification.
I have been picking and eating funghi for about 20 years but still only take the varieties of which I'm certain. Just not worth the risk otherwise.
Also, best to learn by going out with someone who knows, as pictures in books rarely tell the whole story.
Cf the much quoted case of Nicolas Evans, author of The Horse Whisperer, and his mates. And he was supposedly experienced!

Sorry for going on but thought your question worth a proper response.2 -
I think he meant 170..That sounds quite young.
How many midfielders do they have?

My post maybe wasn't clear. All the varieties of chanterelles I know are done after the first frosts. You get wood hedgehogs in the same habitats, though, and they're usually okay until about the end of the month.
Blewits are edible winter mushrooms that are pretty plentiful but I'm not confident with them, as they are very similar to other nasty ones. I'm considering going on a wee tuition walk to clear this up, though.0 -
Two recent hauls,but with the first frost,that'll be an end to it for this season, as I'm not comfortable with blewits and other winter mushrooms. Chanterelles ( girolles ), Wood hedgehogs and wee broon chanterelles.

Tam Cowan was raging that a player should accuse someone of making a racist comment because, once the evidence was examined, it was shown that there was no case to answer.I've read this post several times, and as far as I can see the quote you're attributing to Cowan means the exact opposite of what your'e claiming it is. As well as that, I'd say it's pretty crass for you to compare the two things.
I get that the intervening period would be hellish for the accused, but should the player be vilified for bringing it?
And you are correct. While the comparison I made is not invalid, I was wrong to make it.
Will delete post.0 -
I suggested a few weeks ago on Rangers Media that Jack Ross had a good gig in him yet.
Rumbled and gubbed.2 -
I haven't been around the forums since pre-pandemic but surely "Bud etc" is a The Kincardine alias?Folk actually debating with it as well. Just laugh at the sad wee tube and move on FFS. He'll get emptied soon enough.0 -
Definitely. cf my earlier post. He is absolutely entitled to sing it if he chooses, but in the commentary box? Populist chube!Was that loud voice mccoist singing?! Oddest club in football0 -
Are any of them aware that the monarch is not the head of The Church of Scotland? Curious.Context: On Saturday the FM of Scotland affirmed, "One monarch, one kingdom, one Protestant faith". Wouldn't be my choice but Rangers fans are no different to the leader of Scotland's regional administration.0 -
Swally belting out " God save the king" : what an absolute weasel!

He's in Blackpool this weekend.
He seems to spend a lot of time away in his motorhome. Thankfully, he goes to exactly the places you would predict he would ( fish & chips, bingo, lager etc in the 'club' ) so I'll never have to meet him on my jaunts.

Donaldson's I reckon.
Ha!
Na, he's from Glasgow, where schools are far more inclusive. Mainstream secondary, with support from Hazelwood.
