  1. If you express doubts over the safety of something then you are saying it is dangerous imo. If I say ‘I have doubts over the safety of something’ im also saying ‘that couldnt be dangerous’. It is arrogance as there has been academic study with regards the Finn’s approach to baby provision and they are world leaders in combating infant mortality, the figures speak for themselves. I read the BMJ regularly and I know that the letters section is a very political animal, with doctors representing their opinion as fact to coincide with political belief. These scare stories do nothing to improve confidence in the baby boxes and promoting the healthy start that the whole package provides children. Many of the things Prof Blair points out are actually covered in the advice in the pamphlet which accompanies the baby box. Its pretty clear that the BBC making it one of their top news stories is furthering their snpbad editorial stance. Its a subject I feel passionate about, having dealt with several cot deaths and been traumatised by them anything which can reduce that risk and has been shown to contribute to reducing these instances is a great thing. Cheap politicking to stick the boot into the SNP could lead to someone deciding against getting a baby box, given they are of more benefit to vulnerable children who’s parents are more likely to read a headline article than understand the minutiae of one letter to the BMJ.
  2. Why dont we just chuck England and Wales out of the UK, I could live with that.
  3. Its the way its framed ‘experts’, which actually id one doctor writing a letter to the BMJ who actually doesnt say its dangerous just that there is not much in the way of study into its use. Now theres two points to this, its blatant SNPbad from the bbc and secondly it stinks of arrogance from this ‘expert’. The beeb are so desperate to discredit anything the Scottish government does. Its more than a baby box, its clean good quality clothes, its a bath and ear thermometer, its a baby carrier, its toys, books, its an introduction to music and most importantly its the same for every kid born in Scotland. From a medical point of view imho the real experts are the RCNM who say that this is a great thing for babies, it encourages babies to sleep in a safe position with good quality bedding, things which are contributing factors to reducing SIDs in babies. There may be no academic work in the UK but the lasting evidence is in Finland, that when used along with the similar services to that which the Scottish Government is now implementing here, the whole package reduces infant mortality rates. Only a shower of Wankers like the tories and tory media would attack something good for children with such vigour.
  4. As a regular visitor to Orlando i’ve adopted Magic as my NBA team, can I just say watching Magic beat the Lakers with a 3 pointer at the buzzer was honestly one of the most intense sporting experiences ive ever witnessed and the crowd (yes an american sports crowd, I was shocked too) went absolutely mental, it was amazing. The Am-way is by far and away one of my favourite sporting venues to visit, it is absolutely brilliant, the staff are fantastic, the pre game experience really good, the quality of basketball is excellent, facilities better than anything i’ve had elsewhere (including Yankee stadium), its just generally excellent, ive never been in a box so keen to hear how that goes, but honestly they make you feel like a VIP even if you’re in the $10 seats. Hope you enjoy.
  5. Looking likely that the forces of darkness will take the AL
  6. I like how you brexiteers are unashamed in thinking of the UK as ‘England’, at least you admit it.
  7. No thats not where it came from, I’d love to be wrong mind you.
  8. Hearing that the madness has won through and East/West Juniors will actually be joining at level 6 and there will be a 4 way play off for 1 promotion place, hearing that this is what the SFA are pushing for. If this is the case its utter madness. I can see the point in the West Juniors just slotting in despite it not being my own preferred option, but to have two east leagues covering the same area in the pyramid is mental. The tayside clubs should have to go to the Highland league, has to be a line created somewhere and the existing line is perfectly reasonable.
  9. Shucks thanks! Big masterchef oz fan so that’s an ideal gif!
  10. For those of us recovering and preparing for a nightshift can you elaborate?
  11. Ruth Davidson and Fluffy threatening to resign over TM brexit plans over fears it strengthens the indy argument. Hard brexit all but inevitable, saw it coming personally.
  12. Had no idea about them seizing their property thats fucking disgusting.
  13. Shower of inbred robbing b*****ds. Apparently command from on high to have the homeless folks moved from Windsor. Scum, absolute scum.
  14. Apparently the finance director of Patisserie Valerie has been arrested over some financial scam. Have any pie and bovril members ever stolen huge sums of money from their work? Lots of people laughing at this guy on social media but I wonder what would happen if the choux was on the other foot.
  15. Yes I’ll never forget them leading the leave campaign, spinning xenophobic soundbites and putting blatant lies on the side of a bus which garnered huge publicity. But it was all that cosying up to Nigel Farage they did that really clinched it.
  16. Do you post on here after your parents go to bed and you’ve done your homework?
  17. Brilliant! Good to see some bargains! Consider they charge £60 for a polo in the outlet in Gretna.
  18. Campbell is an absolute gent of a guy. It must feel like an impossible job and I hope things change for Yoker.
  19. The same Jackie Baillie who was a cabinet minister in 2002 when the downgrading of the Vale hospital and closure of the A&E was approved but now campaigns on the snpbad why did you close the vale ticket? She is a shameful local politician, happy to turn up for a photo opportunity but has brought nothing to the area.
  20. My understanding was a Lowland league 2 with 2 promotion places into LL and 2 relegations into regional leagues, play off East/Tayside, West/South?
  21. Fair enough if it was a Douglas fir, but its quite clearly deciduous. Mon the Colin’s.
  22. Farmfoods chat is a bit tragic, is this a bit of brit-nat elitism sneaking in? Are people who shop at farmfoods to be sneered at in the britnat circles?
  23. Just waiting on a couple things before I make a bold prediction.
